Simple Man
If she were the type to just hack at it, maybe he could understand the girl he was currently trapped with. But no, she was ripping apart pieces of metal and what not. He, on the other hand, was single-handily fighting off three vampires, who all wanted a taste of the girl squatting over her invention, as if that would save them.
Connor knocked the lead vamp into the other two, sending them backwards in a heap. He raced towards Violet, trying to yank her to her feet.
"No, I'm almost done!" She yelled, poking at the metal contraption.
"Forget it, kid, we've got nothing, and no time -" Connor snapped, feeling the vamps untangle themselves and readying to launch themselves at the two teens.
"There's always something! Got it!"
Violet pressed the little red shirt button twice, before hooking her fingers into Connor's sweatshirt. She yanked him down forcefully as the vamps leapt. Connor tucked her close to himself, and rolled to the left, fully expecting the vamps to land heavily on them. Instead there was a barely noticable drop of ash onto his back. The girl beneath him smirked up at him.
"I call it the Multiple Duster Mechanism. Shoots at least three stakes at a time," Violet said happily.
"It can never be simple with you, can it?" Connor
groaned.
"No."
