My stake was already in my hand waiting to attack, but that was easier said than done this time. These guys were massive; all of them were at least over 6'5", their bodies traced with bulging muscles. They stood there staring at me with stupid smirks on their faces clearly unaware that I was about to kick all of their asses. Just then, they quickly circled up around me. SHIT. This was not good, of course when is being surrounded by strigoi ever good, especially these guys.
"Hey there little dhampir what are you doing out here all by your lonesome?" the first hissed.
"Seems to me like you could use a little company...," God the second is a cocky bastard.
"And you're just in time, we were just about to head out for a bite to eat, care to join?" so is the third one it seems.
"How about you fuck off and leave before I take down every single one of your sorry asses," I snapped back.
"Ooohh this one's feisty," laughed the forth.
"Oh come on baby don't be like that, we just want to play, you know have a little…fun," teased the third. He stepped closer to try to grab me, but I cut him off kicking a blow to his knee, forcing him to stagger backward a fraction of a foot.
"Hey that wasn't very nice, didn't your parents teach you any manners?" he lunged forward to try his attempt at touching me, I quickly dodged it, but as I turned around I felt a fist come in contact with my shoulder. I winced at the pain, but quickly tried to block it out of my mind, there was no way I was going to let these four assholes kill me, not before I get to him. The second strigoi was high fiving his friends, what a cocky jerk; well, he won't be for long. While he was turned around I moved quickly and plunged the stake deep into his back, he wailed out in pain. At this moment, I'm not sure if I even reached the heart, but it didn't matter, this at least weakened him.
The others reacted quickly baring their teeth, play time was obviously over. They all lunged for me at the same time but because of the major height difference, I was able to duck down and scramble away from them. Off to the side the second strigoi was trying to recover, he would be the first to die. I quickly ran towards him, and plunged the stake deep in his heart. Good, one down, three to go. However, the other three were already at my back as I pulled out the stake. One slammed into me, knocking me at least five feet back, making the stake fly out of my hand and off in some random unknown direction. Great, no weapon. Okay think, look for makeshift weapons, something to cut their heads off, but they were already upon me, the one lifting me up by the neck, cutting off my air supply.
"Oh you will pay for killing him; you will be begging to die! Just wait until you see what we will do to you!!!!" The first screeched.
As he held my neck I tried to force a kick or punch, but the others had already restrained me. Just then, they let me drop to the ground gasping for air. Great, now I get to be tortured. Right now fighting was a last resort, the only way to get out is to run, but the exit is at least two hundred feet away. At this point, I'm pretty much screwed, if only I could create a distraction. Where is Christian when you need him, oh yeah back at the stupid academy.
After finally regaining my breath I tried to move away, but the strigoi had already grabbed me again. Okay, if I'm going to die here I'm going to go down swinging. Great, now I'm even using clichés, this day really sucks. I began kicking and punching with everything I had, using everything I had ever been taught; somehow, I have to make it out alive. I made a promise to him. The strigoi began to stagger back but only slightly. In their hesitation, I noticed a glimpse of sliver; hell yes, my stake! As I punched one of the strigoi in the groin, I made a run towards it. I was one foot away, yes I got this!!
Just then a colossal strength pulled me back by my shoulder, "Oh no you don't!!"
Damn! Just as I was about to grab my stake the stupid bastard pulled me back and slammed me against the wall. This not good, I could feel the warm blood flowing down my head, dark splotches began to swim over my vision. Shit! I really am going to die. I could feel the strigoi pick me up by the neck again. My air was gone and I was already nearly unconscious; this would only quicken the process.
As I was sputtering for air, that's when I heard it, the slam of an opening door. I could barely make out the images around me, all I know is that the strigoi instantly dropped me and I heard punches and kicks being thrown, followed by the screams of dying strigoi. I really don't know who or what is doing this, but right now I could really care less. Then everything went quiet, only soft footsteps could be heard growing louder as they came closer. I looked up to see two figures staring down at me.
"Hmm…well she's still alive."
"I kind of figured they would have killed her right away."
"Yes well they obviously wanted to have some…fun with her."
"Should we take her back or leave her here?"
"We definitely can't leave her here."
My voice was barely a whisper, "Who are you?" I asked.
"Right now you don't need to know that, who are you?"
"You…don't….need…..to….know……either," I mumbled into the damp ground. After that I can't remember anything, I guess I finally passed out, and in front of two random ass strangers to boot. However, they did kill three strigoi, so how bad could they be?
