Chapter 594
The vampire crashed into Katelina, trying to pin her to the van. He didn't know that extra physical strength was the one thing she'd inherited from her maker. She easily shoved him back where he sprawled in old leaves and spring mud.
He snarled and jerked to his feet, something metallic in his hand. A knife? She didn't stop to think, but pounced, swinging as she moved. Her fist connected with his head. She saw blood run from his ear.
He stumbled, then came back slashing. She hopped out of the way of his first attack but, an acorn rolled under her foot, and she lurched into the second. The blade cut the sleeve of her shirt, bringing up a line of crimson on her arm.
The sight of her blood filled her with fury. She'd been in so many fights, seen so much of her blood spilled by casual morons while she waited to be saved. She was tired of it. She didn't need to be saved anymore. She could take care of herself.
