My extra- sensitive hearing picked up her voice.My extra- sensitive hearing picked up her voice. "Please... don't hurt me. Just take the money," she begged quietly. I quietly headed towards them, planning on using my supernatural powers to save her from her assailant. It's almost impossible to hear vampires approach when they are just walking normally. When the vampire is trying to be quiet, it IS impossible. Then I heard the distinct sound of a zipper. "Noooo..." came Jennifer's whispered plea. Galvanized into action, I started to run down the alley with supernatural stealth and speed. I was going to rip the guy, whoever he was, to pieces with my vampire's strength. Two bad things happened; my foot found a loose piece of gravel, and struck it at just the perfect angle to kick it. The noise it made as it ricocheted off a building eliminated the stealth advantage. Alerted to my presence, the man wheeled, and swung his arm as I arrived. I gasped in shock as fire cut through my side. I fell to the ground in excruciating pain. I had been cut very deeply; hadn't I seen Victoria take a couple of bullets without any discomfort? My confusion vanished in the searing pain. Blood rapidly soaked my shirt. The man stabbed me again, as I rolled away on the ground; my arm was bleeding. I crawled backwards against a fence, trying to stand. The man raised his knife, having cornered me. "Gonna kill you motherf-" The saying about cornered animals is correct. |
