Chapter 256
Katelina choked on her terror. She tried to look away from the newcomers, but she couldn't and neither could anyone else. Red laser sites snapped to the group, their beams visible in the hazy smoke and dust.
Senya, Greneth, and Griselda stepped forward. Senya and Greneth held blades. Griselda had what looked like a large gun with a giant pronged hook at the end.
Vampires continued to fall. The silent ripple of death grew closer to Katelina. A low buzzing noise began at the base of her skull. It grew louder. Her ears rang. She let go of Verchiel and tried to block the noise, hands over her ears like the others. It didn't help. Verchiel stood next to her, his face scrunched in determination. The sound grew louder and Katelina's heart pounded faster and faster. Her knees buckled and she fell to the floor. Verchiel growled and dropped next to her, one arm thrown over her as if it would do something.
