A Chapter by ari

I approached the awaiting creatures in the dimly lit alley, my coat fluttering in the slight breeze of the night. " The mutt has arrived." One sneered. The other three's lips curled into cruel, fanged smiles.

In a flash, they were on me. I plunged my dagger into one's gut and swung the blade at another. I was swept off of my feet by one and thrown into the brick wall. I collided with the wall harshly and slid down, blood trickling down the back of my head. I blinked and tried to stand but got dizzy. I could hear their snickers from a distance, feel their bodies on mine and searing pain in my neck and arms.

I was suddenly filled with a surge of power, whether it be will or fate. I fought my way out, slashing with my crystal knives I always kept on my belt. I stood and picked up my dagger as I staggered a bit. I plunged the dagger into one as I felt a weight on me. Spinning around I plunged the dagger into another and flipped the one on my back off me and toward the wall. I panted as blood trickled from wounds on my neck and arms.

The vampire was up by now and glared at me, baring its fangs. I bared mine in turn and approached it. It was weak, I could tell. The crystal knives were doing their work on it as their flesh had disintegrated where I'd slashed them, too dark blood spilled from their wounds. I smirked and plunged the dagger into its stomach. The vampire let out an ear-piercing screech as its blood spattered onto my hands and the dagger. I twisted the dagger and kept it in until the thing went limp. I wrenched the dagger out and took out a handkerchief, wiping the blood from the blade and dropping the cloth onto the concrete as I sheathed it. A slight groan emitted from the mouth of a vampire behind me. I spun on my heel to face it and sauntered to it. Its eyes fluttered a little. I lifted my booted foot and brought it down on the vampire's skull. The loud crunch of bone shattering made me smirk and almost smile. I enjoyed this part.. making them suffer.
