In the middle of the street, Laura turns to lay on her side and faces Carmilla. Her eyes are closed and despite her appearance she looks peaceful almost beautiful. The stillness of her girlfriend and of the environment in general lets off an eerie feeling. Just a little behind Laura, Danny sits with her head down and her eyes closed. And way off behind the three of them, standing in front of the house, is Kirsch. He's standing with his left hand in his pocket and the right on the back of his head as he looks down.
Everyone's exhausted and it makes sense because this has been a long journey for the group. It was very tiring for Lafontaine and Perry...and Laura and Danny... and Kirsch... and of course Carmilla.
Kirsch's head perks up and looks to his left and then back at Danny only to look back to his left. She lifts her head and looks to her right. She stands up and points and Kirsch's eyes follow.
He takes his bowie out of the sheath and , with a swift pace, walks in the direction pointed in. He nears the figure hobbling towards them and slows the closer he gets. With ten feet to spare, he stops. The body staggers forward and Kirsch reaches out to grab the shoulder. With one hand grasping hold, he brings his knife up and cleanly goes through the skull. The body falls and he looks at the face. It's not even human anymore. At one point yes it was, but now? Not even close. That's probably the 10th straggler he's taken out today. This one was different though. He didn't have to kill this one. It would've gone out on it's own anyways. It was weak and slow and had a broken ankle. Eventually it would've died...again.
After a minute Kirsch walks back to where the girls are. He sits next to Danny and bumps her shoulder with his head and stands up before offering her a hand.
Laura sits up and turns to Danny with a small smile and returns her focus to Carmilla. After ten minutes of sitting Laura breaks the silence.
"One more goodbye...please"
