Sorry for the long wait again. I'm falling way behind in school because I'm taking driving school at the same time and that eats up my homework time. Thank goodness I only have 2 days of driving school left. Anyway, here is the next chapter.

Game to Battle

The cold morning air and the smell of wet garbage surround me as I look up at those annoying spies who try to catch me. I can feel as the tension mounds and they prepare to attack. I just smile, careful to show most of my fangs, and laugh a little when Clover shudders again. This battle will not last long.

They jump down at me and I just continue to watch as they get closer and closer. Alex tries a quick kick to the chest, but I grab her foot and throw her down the alley. Sam tries to come up behind me but I dodge. These spies make too much noise to actually lay a finger on me.

"Give it up girls. I can hear everything, there's no way you can complete a sneak attack." I say with much fun. Their faces still show determination and I know that they won't be hard to break.

"We're not giving up yet you disgusting vampire thing you." Alex says as some wind blows her short black hair from her eyes.

"Maybe you'd like to cool off!" Sam shouts as she points a strange weapon at me. I easily dodge the blue light as it comes. It hits the house across the street and froze the front door shut. She tries another two shots but it is too slow for me.

I glare at them and stare Alex in the eyes. She was unsuspecting and did not realize what I was doing until it was too late. From several feet away I can see her pupils shrink from fear and in a few more seconds I can control her.

Something shoots passed me and skims my left shoulder. I scream in pain and lose my connection with Alex. I turn to see a vampire's one true nightmare: a vampire slayer.

His short brown hair blew in the wind just a little and his strong, muscular arms hold a silver bow pointing at me. His black shirt had the symbol of a stake going through a black heart and his black pants and belt hold all of his necessities. He stood taller than me by at least a foot and his cold green eyes told me that he was deathly serious.

He quickly reached over his head and grabbed a silver arrow with a cross in the middle. He placed it in position and began to pray.

"Our father who aren't in heaven, hollowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. On Earth as it is in heaven." As he continued to pray the arrow started to glow blue and small yellow stars started to spin around the arrow tip.

"What on Earth is he doing?" Sam asked behind me. But I knew what he was doing; he was building up his firepower. He was aiming to kill me now.

"…but deliver us from evil. Amen." The prayer ended and the arrow was at maximum strength. He shot it and it moved at the speed of light. 'Holy arrows' are the only arrows that can touch a vampire. They are as fast as a vampire and can penetrate the skin easily. They were the second most powerful weapons against vampires.

Thinking as fast as I could, I jumped to the right. It was like it was all in slow motion. The arrow that was once aiming for my heart was now going to hit my ribs..no..my arm…no..my shoulder. It pierced through my skin and pain sped through my entire body. I screamed again in pain and slammed my back into the run-down house.

"Wo! He got her!" Sam shouted. I glare at her and she stares back at me in complete shock and surprise.

Blood seeps through my shirt and over my fingers as I grip my arm tightly. I look at the arrow, which still lay embedded in my right shoulder. I tear my hand away from my shoulder and try to touch the arrow. The energy was still circulating through it and when I touched it, the pain just grew. It now surged through my right arm and my left hand. I knew it wouldn't work if I tried to pull it out, only a human can.

"Give it up now young vampire." The slayer orders. I ignored him and turn shadow. As quick as I can I slither past the two spies, who still stand in shock at the end of the alley and reach the roof. I look to my left to see that Clover is still up here, cowering in fear.

"You!" I shout. "Get this arrow out of me!" I scrunch my face as more pain shoots through my arm. Clover quickly gets up and runs to my arm. She brakes the arrow in halfby the cross and by that time all of the energy is dissolved. She quickly pulls the arrow out and I only watch as more blood runs freely from my arm.

"Clover, get away from her!" I hear Alex shout. I turn to see that the two spies and the vampire slayer had returned to meet me at the top of the building. I hear the blood dripping to the ground and Clover whimpers at the sight of it. If I didn't do something about it now then I would become severely weak and an easy target to even the slowest people.

My thermos was still down in the alley. I had unknowingly dropped it when the first holy arrow skimmed my arm. It would be too dangerous to run down and get it in this state. I needed something quicker. Something I can pull into shadow with me and take it to another place, a safer place. Something like…

"Clover!" Sam and Alex shout.

"No!." the slayer shouts in frustration. By the time he had shot his arrow, I already had Clover and I in shadow and was over the edge of the building.
