Last one, enjoy, my friends. :)))
"What are we going to do?" Luísa questioned her lover in a hushed whisper as they stood frozen, surrounded by the shadow women.
Arin could provide no answer as she clutched the girl next to her protectively. Instinctively, she kneeled for the blade she had dropped only a moment ago, but found no prize. Quicker than she could've realized, the bedside whores had taken the bloodied corpse of the nameless fallen vampire from sight, along with Arin's only hope for a weapon. Again, she cursed to herself silently.
"What's wrong? Angered that your stallion was killed, slaughtered by a mere mortal girl?" Arin used the taunt to hide the uneasy edge to her voice. This was only to stall the inevitable. The women seemed to have matching expressions then, ones of hatred. They were falling for it. "What will you do now that he is gone? Is your very existence for naught? Or will you find another sex partner to satisfy your unearthly lusts?"
An inhuman hiss came from one of the women as she jumped at Arin. She was more than ready for the attack and kicked the demon square in the midsection. Easier to defeat than it seemed, the woman dissipated into a black clump of smoke. However, before she could celebrate this discovery, another of the group was already upon Luísa, facing off against her and then jumping similarly to the whore who had attacked Arin. Luísa, no novice to the violence around her used her nails to rake the face of the woman. Surprisingly, this also created a smoke cloud out of the creature. Arin had renewed hope, then.
One more came at the two of them, one that had slipped around to catch their backs. Arin was the quicker of the two defenders, and used her hands to block the woman's scratching nails. They dug fiery lines down the girl's arms but did nothing to slow her follow up attack, jabbing the demon square in the face. Again, it turned to smoke.
The remaining women looked warily at the girls. From the quick defeat of their comrades, they made no hasty moves towards them anymore. Then, before any in the room could retaliate, one of the attackers stepped up, calmly and spoke.
"That's quite enough," Her tone showed absolute authority, though she looked no different than the ones surrounding her, "You need not prove yourselves any further."
"What do you want from us? Speak quickly or I will destroy you as well!" Arin ordered, gaining confidence with each of her spoken words.
The creature chuckled, "I doubt it, foolish girl. Our ranks are endless. We are here for the body, nothing more. The actions of my sisters were provoked only by your words. It is your fault that your arm now bears bleeding wounds."
"And now that you have his cadaver?" Luísa asked, ignoring her last statement.
"You are free to leave as you desire," The woman remarked, looking to the still-morphing walls, "Though I bid you fare luck discovering a way out."
"So you leave us to rot." Arin spat bitterly.
"Not at all. I do not wish for your presence here any more than you. If you only acted civil, I would have led you out of this hellhole personally."
Hellhole? Luísa's lover thought to herself, but was rudely interrupted by the prying words of the woman.
"I call it that simply for your convenience. It is from her thoughts that this castle is shaped, and so it is from her mind that I draw my words. Realize I cannot speak your language regularly."
"Of course; you are deaf to modern speech. Is that why you speak a dead tongue?" Luísa probed, apparently too far judging on the woman's reaction.
"Inconsequential. You will leave here under our watchful eye or suffer my wrath." She explained.
Arin scoffed at such a notion. "If I was able to defeat your master, what idea came into your head that you will be able to take me down?"
The woman smiled a spine-tingling grin. "He was only one foe. We are limitless. You will tire and fall long before our magic ceases to function."
"Magic?" Arin laughed defiantly.
"Let us leave before we have to do battle again." Luísa suggested to her love, tugging on her arm slightly. She then addressed the head of the band, "Will you guide us out now? Like you said, we do not wish to stay here much longer."
"Though your actions were rude and barbaric, I cannot argue with your words. I will indeed show you out, if you allow me to enter your mind a final time." She told them, spreading her hands out slowly.
"For what reason?" Luísa asked worriedly.
"I need a location to leave you, so that you may never find this place. It is our domain now."
"How kind of you not to drop us in a ditch." Arin mumbled.
"Silence!" The woman demanded, and Luísa felt the invading presence in her thoughts.
In the next moment, all went dark around them, and both of the girls felt as if they were being dragged from their very bodies.
Enjoy your journey, brave warriors. The woman's voice echoed in their thoughts, Slayers of the Undead and killers of my oppressor.
Suddenly, everything went dead silent, and there it stayed for more than the girls would have desired.
They awoke right where they had met before the beast had come to them. Luísa's computer was still on, and the moon had not fully risen. The room was dim, the bright colors hushed by the night's soft glow.
Arin lay upon the bed, with Luísa leaning at her bedside, still on the ground. Groggily, she shook her love and woke the still-slumbering girl.
"What the hell happened?" Arin asked her lover as Luísa rose from the sleep. The girl stood, and then embraced the fighter.
"I don't care; we're alive. We were taken by a vampire and lived through it! I can't believe we did it!"
"And neither will anyone else. It is our tale to withhold." Arin lamented.
Ever the realist, Luísa had realized this before anyone else could. She offered a helpless laugh.
"Well, at least it was a good adventure, as you call it."
"Not yet," Arin smirked, pulling the girl down to her and smothering her with her lips. She pulled back, "I did not get my share of your promise."
Luísa again offered a laugh and a warm smile. She joined her love upon the covers, and in another embrace.
"Diabo." She whispered in Arin's ear playfully.
"Your nightmare." The girl replied, and came down eagerly upon her lover.
