Vi quickly turned around and found herself face to face with a vampire but not just any vampire it was…
"Nicholas." She stated, fear and annoyance filling her portal.
"What, not happy to see me Vi?" He mocked striding towards her.
"No actually. I'm not and my parents are slipping into the critical list. Please just let me get them help and then I'll fight you." Nicholas chuckled, a malicious smile graced his features.
"No Vi, I think you should see them die." He smirked. If there was one thing he liked more than killing a Slayer it was torturing their mental state.
"If you touch them, I swear to God that I will kill you."
"You can try. I'm a 450 year old vampire and you're a Slayer with four years experience. It seems the odds are in my favor. Besides that, every time you've come up against me you've almost died…" He chuckled. "I just love beating you down. Soon you'll be mine."
She shivered letting her repulsiveness show.
"You're wrong about that." She said confidently reaching for her cell phone.
"Put the phone down Vi. Don't be stupid like Rona."
"Rona?" She questioned. Rona was weak after the fight. She may have had a lot of damage done but she almost slipped into a coma. That weakness was why most of the Slayers had died during the battle of the first. His voice interrupted her train of thought.
"Well yeah. I mean she put up quite a fight. But I broke her down." He paused. "Eventually." Vi looked the vampire in the eye…
"I'm not as weak as you think."
"Because you fought the 'Uber-vamp' and helped defeat the first."
"Well yeah." He chuckled and punched the Slayer's jaw. She flew back and hit the brick wall. Vi stood up shakily and faced him.
"What are you? How is it that you can defeat me each time."
"I'm a vampire."
"You're something more."
She sent a round-about kick but her caught it and pulled her leg out. As though anticipating that she did a back hand spring and took a fighting pose. Vi flickered her gaze towards her parents and heard their breathing slow. She did the only thing that would save her and her parents. She ran. The slayer knocked Nicholas out of the way and ran the opposite direction. Vi reached into her pocket, pulled out her cell phone and dialed 911.
"911 operator, what is your emergency?" Vi started panting from the physical exertion.
"The…there's a couple in an alley on Melrose and 8th. They have large neck wounds and are…are dying."
"Okay well we'll send an ambulance and…"
Nicholas grabbed her ankle and pulled it out. She lost her balance, dropped her phone and fell on her face. He violently flipped her over and pinned her hands above her head. When the vampire's head neared her neck Vi slammed her head against his own and kicked him off. Once again she ran. The Slayer could see her house in the distance and ran harder.
A slight breeze formed and her red pony tale fell out and whipped her face. Vi pulled out her keys and searched for the right one.
"Face it Violet, you almost escaped,"
She jammed the key into the lock frantically. Nicholas smirked, grabbed Vi's shoulders and slammed her against the wall. She felt herself go into a state of involuntary shock.
"Oh God, no!" She came over her shock and started to struggle against his weight. Slowly so not as to draw his attention from her neck she felt for the key. Nicholas lost control, yanked her head to the side and bit down harshly. Vi screamed and turned the key in her lock. She started to loose her strength and fun colors swirled in her brain. Determined not to die Vi jammed her knee in his gut and front kicked him down the porch steps. Frantically she shoved open the door and ran inside. Nicholas attempted to follow but the barrier kept him outside.
"Let me in Slayer,"
She laughed. "I'm not crazy enough to invite a vampire into my own home."
"Well then I guess you'll never see your parents again."
"Oh, so now you're using mind tricks." She shifted her gaze toward the horizon. "If I were you you'd leave because the sun's gonna come up." She smiled and smirked as he ran from her doorstep and out of her sight.
