The first one rushed me.
Pure vampire speed. Blur of motion.
I sidestepped. Barely.
His fist cratered the wall where my head had been.
The second one came from my left.
I ducked under his swing.
Drove my silver blade up through his ribs.
He screamed. Stumbled back.
The first vampire grabbed me from behind. Arms like steel bands.
Lifted me off the ground.
Slammed me into the wall.
Pain exploded through my back.
I headbutted backward. Felt his nose crunch.
He dropped me.
I spun. Kicked his knee.
Bone cracked.
He went down.
The second vampire pulled my blade from his chest. Healing already starting.
"What are you?" he hissed.
I didn't answer.
Rushed him instead.
He swung the blade at me.
I caught his wrist. Twisted.
The blade clattered to the floor.
We grappled. His fangs snapped at my throat.
I channeled divine energy into my hand.
Pressed it against his chest.
Holy fire burned through vampire flesh.
