Uriah
Back in the great hall, the song was over and was onto the next.
When Gaius ran toward the stage at full speed, the vampire stopped mid-song and held up his hand. “Stop this man,” he commanded the room. “Keep him off the stage.”
Several crowd members lunged at Gaius. Not expecting the ambush, the fraternity president was quickly tackled by Magnus. Nik and Dachre grabbed his arms and pinned him down to the ground.
“No!” an unrecognizable howl resonated through Gaius. “ Not today, boys, ” he hissed, suddenly throwing Nik and Dachre like rag dolls into the crowd.
Gaius punched Magnus in the face, getting to his feet and making a second dash toward . A nearby Darcy concentrated on the glass punch bowl nearest Gaius and sent it flying. The bowl connected with the back of the charging man’s head at top speeds, red punch exploding everywhere as the glass shattered.
Alo forced Gaius to the ground, pinning his hands behind his back and keeping his full weight on top of him. “I’ve got him,” he shouted. “Help me keep him down, Darcy!”
Darcy ran forward as though to help Alo, but instead moved past him and to the stage. “It’s too late,” he said with a quick grin.
It was impossible for to be certain what was going on, but he presumed Darcy was acting as his backup. A screeching reverberated through the sound system as the novice witch cut the power to the stage.
Everyone in the audience suddenly snapped out of the compulsion. Some were confused, others were angry.
“Get off of me, Alo, or I’ll have your brother wipe your memory,” Gaius howled at the man holding him down.
“Huh?” Alo seemed confused, quickly jumping to his feet and helping his fraternity president up.
“Fools,” came the growl of Strix as he entered the room. “Who let their kind in?”
“ My kind , huh? Sounds offensive. You know, the undead contribute to society just as much as you furry freaky fucks,” hissed, barring his fangs as he picked up his mic stand and wielded it as a weapon. “Get ready, boys.”
“Get them,” Luna’s voice spoke through Darcy. “Show no mercy to the vampires.”
