Chapter 55 Chapter 55
Jess’s POV
I got up “I am going to fight. People who want to fight come over this side of the fire. Those who don’t go on the other side”.
“The town is about a twenty-four to forty-eight hour walk. Once it is decided who will fight and who won’t. I suggest that those who are not fighting start to head away from here as soon as possible to save you from getting in the middle of the battle” John told everyone
Kieran got up and came to stand beside me. Romeo trotted along beside him
“I am in for sure time I used the training that Jess gave me. Also, I always wanted to go to war. Just didn’t want to have to cut my hair” Justin chuckled as he joined us.
I gave Justin a hug as he came and stood on my other side. Then my parents stood up and walked to join us.
“We cannot just run when our babies are fighting” Mum came and pulled both Justin and I into a big hug. She patted Kieran on the arm as her and dad went to stand on the other side of him. Out of nowhere the vampires joined us.
“We run from nothing” William winked at me as he went to stand behind me with his family. Amber and Christina followed close behind and went to stand with Hayley. A few of the humans came and stood with us. Most of them were males. The rest all went to the other side of the fire. They all had a guilty look in their eyes.
“Okay for you not wanting to fight I would like you to stick together. Find a warehouse or empty large house and stay there. If we win this thing we will try to find you. If we lose, we will all die anyway” John sighed
The humans muttered among there selves and then a Tall thin woman came forward. She had black hair that in normal circumstances would have been very neat and probably in a bun. Just by looking at her you could tell that she was a businesswoman.
“Hi, I am Nicole. We will all stick together as you ask. I own the hotel that is on the outskirts of town. We can all go there. I have plenty of food to feed everyone and enough rooms so that everyone can sleep”
“I know the one. When this is all over, we will come and tell you” I smiled
“And I will have the bottles of Champaign chilling to celebrate” She nodded at me as she led everyone away from the battlefield and to the safe haven of her hotel.
“Ok everyone. They are not expecting to come here and meet us. We are going to use the element of surprise and attack them when they are not expecting it. Now I need you to get into 3 groups. Those who have guns come over here. Those who do not have guns but know how to use one go over there. He pointed to a tree, and those who have no idea how to use a gun please go over to Kieran. After about five minutes everyone had moved into one of the three groups. The biggest group was of people who knew how to use guns but did not have one on them.
“Ok we have a few spare guns for people but not that many. I am going to set Jess here up as a sniper”
“What her? Are you kidding? Look at her she looks like she is more in to shopping then shooting” A big manly looking bloke spoke out.
“Yes her. She is an employee of the special services sir, and she is the best sniper that we have in the team. She could kill anything from 50 meters away easy”
The big guy backed off mumbling, and I saw Kieran about to go and give him a mouthful when Hayley pulled him away and lead him to me.
“The nerve of that guy” he grumbled
“Let it go babe he is just a typical sexist. He will be thankful when I save his arse”
“You should just let them take him and shove a probe up his arse”
“How nice of you to join the conversation, Justin. No, I will not let them take him I am a better person then that”
John came over to us “Sorry about that Jess”
“Don’t worry about it. I am fine I just wish you would all stop worrying about me. I can handle someone not been nice to me you know. For God’s sake. I just killed aliens protecting you, and if I remember rightly saved your life Kieran. Does that not prove to you that I am tougher than you are all giving me credit for?”
“Your right Jess I am sorry. I love you though, so I am allowed to worry” Kieran kissed me on the cheek as he turned to John. “What do you need us to do boss?”
“Ok Jess like I said I would like you to be sniper again. I also want Kieran to join you. Also, Mr and Mrs Jones, Jess bought you rifles. I am guessing that she taught you how to use them?”
“Yes, she taught all three of us how to use them”
“Good all three of you will be snipers with Jess. The vamps are going down to fight. I have a pistol that I am going to take down there with me. Most of the humans want to fight hand combat. The ones with guns are taking them down there. Most of the shooter are all farmers or hunters so that are not very good shots when at a distance so they will be better down in the field with me. Amber what do you want to do?”
Amber had been sat down chewing on a bit of grass “I am going to kick some arse down there thank you”
Christina looked at us like she was going to faint. “I don’t know how to fight I am a healer not a fighter. I was thinking that I could heal the people who are fighting”
“Don’t worry Amber that is all that I was going to ask you to do” John gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “Ok so does everybody know what they are meant to be doing?”
We all nodded, and Romeo let out a bark.
“Well Romeo your job will be to stay and protect your mum. Do you think that you can handle that boy?”
