Apex predators

As the antelope charged, they left behind trailing tails of fire through the air that burned the termites around them as they sprinted horns first towards their habitat's intruders. Valentina was the one most heavily targeted as she was the closest, but plenty of the beasts ran straight past her and towards the others as well. 

It would be nice to say that the vampiress was able to react fast enough to stop them from getting by her, but that was simply unrealistic. The antelope were far too plentiful and far too fast to be stopped by one person and so only a third could be blocked by Valentina. Long whip like tendrils of blood sprouted from the vampiress' back, looking somewhere between strange alien wings and a sea anemone, but even as those tendrils grew and formed a net to ensnare the flaming monsters, only nine beasts were able to be caught in the vampiress' bloody web.
