"Well. Your call."
A wicked grin on Magnus's face betrayed his enjoyment in the situation.
It'd been a while since he'd been in anything he would call 'serious danger'.
"It sounds like the food wants us to come out and play."
Lady Mo responded with unnerving calm.
"Show us to the hangar."
"We'll ride out in style."
"But first you show Ashlynn the safe way out."
"I will. Run, I'll catch up."
While the oldbloods raced trough the corridors like shadows cast by a swinging light Hale escorted Ashlyn further down.
Passing one distressed vampire escaping the base after another they descended the stairs down to the lower floors.
Hale gave Ashlynn an unremarkable looking key.
"This is a universal key to everything in this place. Don't lose it. Down this hall is a bright white door. Open it and follow the tunnel until you are outside."
After urging Ash to move and waiting until she was far enough down the hallway to disapear into the darkness Hale started to catch up with the others.
The Hangar was crowded. Full of vampire and hybrid soldiers either following orders to be here or confused and seeking safety in numbers.
Magnus, Mo and Mithias arrived to look upon their army. Their vehicles, their equipment but most importantly their people.
"Well then, grab your weapons of choice, lets have some fun."
Magnus said while fitting his claws to his hand and checking the charges.
Mo ignored Magnus and stepped forward, her slender clawed hands gripping around the railing as she leaned over the balcony to speak to the troops.
"My children. All of you have shed blood before.
Out of defense or boredom. Out of passion or hunger.
Whatever those reasons forget them.
They clouded your mind and filled you with doubt.
Now you have embraced death.
You are much more than what you where.
Many of you have yet to dream of what you will do tonight.
Don't you dare be afraid, lest you forget that you are the predator.
It is you that haunts their dreams with unspeakable horrors.
Now go out and show them why.
A thundering cacophony of shouts, roars and howls echoed trough the bunker and out the ground.
Sound seeping up muffled like the monstrous growls of Cerberus.
The only places the echoes didn't reach where the furthest and deepest nooks and crannies of the fortress.
The dark hallway where Ash walked was one of them.
Coming out of the loud and chaotic halls above and entering this silent abyss of a hall was an aerie feeling that ran a shiver down her spine.
No lights and many floors of darkness above her made the hall dark for even her hybrid eyes.
Faintly in the distance she heard notes. A strangely soothing melody.
