Chapter 30: I Can Take Care of Myself

Mary-Allison Flagstone

Seven. There are seven vampires staring us down, blocking the way for any chance at escape. One holds himself differently from the others. He wears a black suit with a red tie—An air of superiority about him. It’s the way he stands straight, planted like a tree from where the six others mock us with devilish grins. Christopher hasn’t taken his eyes off the well-dressed man since he noticed him.

“Well, here we are, Christopher. It’s time to end this foolish cat-and-mouse game we’ve played all these years. Hand over the girl and no harm will come to you.”

Christopher’s fists shake. He leans in, his lips touch my ear…

“Think you can take a couple of these guys?’

I whisper back with confidence,

“Let's kill some vampires…”

Christopher straightens up with a smile, which puts me at ease— ‘I’ll always fight for us.’

“Reynard, my worst lieutenant—You dare challenge me?”
