Embracing the Night :Chapter One

Present day.

London ,England 2011

The Vampire lashed out at Auna with claws extended, tearing into her torso

“I’ll have your head, leech “Auna shouted her blue eyes lighting up with anger

A small smile tugged at his pale lips, his body disappearing then his face, she lunged forward dragging her sword through air. She stood still, poise .Anticipating the next blow. She fell flat on her back, a pale  hand was locked around her throat. Menacing, glowing blue eyes peered down at her face.

“Filthy little slayer, do you think you can kill me” He hissed, tightening his hold on her throat

Her shoes dug into the cold pavement, she kicked her feet as she gaped for air, She wiggled under his hold trying to get a hold of the dagger strapped to her leg ….Unconsciousness slowly crept in like a predator hunting its prey .This was it she thought she was going to die .Auna closed her eys and saw Khristen's face ,He flashed her faint smile before disappearing .Suddenly reminded of what she'd lost ,what they'd taken from her she  opened her eyes refusing to give up ,refusing to die .She would have her revenge .Reaching  for her dagger  agian ,her finger caught the hilt, she slowly pulled at it  until her fingers curled around the cool brass hilt.

The hot liquid hit her face .The vampire loosened his hold, Auna scrambled back from the leech  a pleasant little smile curving  her lips .The Vampire staggered back his eyes wide and frantic ,gasping he removed the dagger with shaking fingers  and threw it to the pavement  his long skeletal fingers  curled around his pale throat.As if he were suddenly reminded of her presence his head snapped up only to meet her cold steel .His head landed on the pavement with a loud thud along with his body ,the vampire's mutilated body slowly lit up, Blue fire licking at his pale flesh. The fire finally died leaving a pile of ash behind and a clawing stench in the atmosphere. Auna watched silently as the pile of ash was carried off on the wind.
