Author's Note: I split this story into several chapters so that I can re-read them and check whether I need to add something. :)


They arrived at the main street of Braskan. There's blood everywhere.

"You think HDA sent us way too late?" A worried tone in her voice.
"They couldn't have."
"Exactly how many days has it been? This is a complete disaster."
"I'm sure there are still survivors."
"I hope so. Else, coming here is useless. If I am one of the survivors, where would I be?"
"What do you think is the safest place here?"
"Police station?"
"Sensible enough." Crimson replied nonchalantly.
"Well of course. Lots of gun - not that it's going to work against bloodsuckers but it should help slow them down for a little bit..."

Crimson wasn't paying attention to her anymore.

"Hmm, should we just walk there? Coz I don't want to. It's freezing here." Ash explained.
"The car would be a nuisance." He prodded.
"Well, we would need the car to let them escape or something."
"You drive, I'll be jumping on the rooftops"
"Fine with me."

What is with him and driving? she thought.

Ash has just turned on the engine when two vampires attacked. The first vampire smashed the windows when it landed on top of it.

"What the hell!"

She went out and attacked it with a front kick, sending it a few steps away. The second vampire scratched her on the arm. Clearly annoyed, she gave it a roundhouse kick, taking its head off with a single blow.

Crimson takes on the first vampire.

After killing the two creatures, Crimson grabs Ashley's hand and spoke

"You got scratched?"
"I was careless."
"Good."

I know what he meant. I was careless and he gets to bitch at me. It's all cool.

"It's time to get serious slayer. No more whining."
"No need to rub that in."
