Lady Of The Night (33)

(Outskirts Of New Atlantic City)

(Castle Eden- Storage Room)

As the blade in Mary's hand sliced off a piece of the vampire's ribcage, the world seemed to slow down to a crawl.

The background noise slowly faded away and all she could focus on was the enemy in front of her. 

She needed to defeat… she needed to kill.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Mary could hear her heart pumping furiously in her chest as she flicked the blade upwards and sliced off the vampire's remaining hand.

This was her first real battle and yet…

She felt nothing.

There was no fear in her heart as she tilted her head to the side and narrowly avoided the vampire's desperate attempt to headbutt her.

Why? Why was she not afraid?

Why did she not feel even the slightest trace of fear?

Mary's eyes shifted colour and began to shine with a golden luster as she activated her pupil technique.
