We cast down the scourge of humanity, and inherit the earth. This is our holy calling, and our crusade.—from the diary of the Unnamed,sire of the Vampire KingdomPAMPLONA, SPAIN TEAM SALAMANCA: JENN AND ANTONIO, SKYE AND HOLGAR, AND JAMIE AND ERIKO“Prepare for battle! Spare all innocents!” Jenn shouted. The air was charged with terror as waves of humans ran toward Antonio and her, faces contorted in fear. Jenn grunted as the Spanish girl who had been window shopping slammed into her from behind. The boyfriend grabbed his girl’s hand and dragged her toward the dark alley beside the jewelry store just as Holgar burst out of it. He looked human, but the girl began screaming, clinging to her boyfriend’s arm. Then Jenn saw the army of rats scurrying before Holgar as if eager to join the fray. They bumped against Jenn’s ankles.“Go, go, go!” Jenn yelled to the young couple.“Go into the alley!” Holgar shouted at them, forcibly herding them out of the chaos. Then he galloped ahead of Jenn and Antonio, waving his arms.
