Chapter 19
Edited by Penulis
"Are those yours?" Tom shifts his head towards Mina's window causing her to gaze out to nothing but the snowy climate, suddenly a bat flashes quickly in and out of view. She uses a knob device on the doors interior to move in a circular motion that makes the window come down to its bottom rim.
She holds her hat down with her hand, the other clamps on to the window sill as she pulls her upper body put of the automobile looking up at the cloud of bats right above them on the road.
As one comes closer, Mina growls and grabs it with her hand causing her hat to fly off to be lost in the white dusty snow. She pushes herself back inside and gives the brown bat a glare, "No mine are black!"
She releases it back out the window and looks back at Tom, "Try your best to stay under us." She slides over to him and kisses him on the cheek and then quickly flies out the window before he could say anything.
"Well have all the fun without me," Tom comments as he continues driving with just one hand as the other leans towards the back seat to retrieve his silver Winchester that Nemo had retrieved from the nautilus for him.
The two separate clouds of bats collide with each other not knowing which ones from what. The two groups separate, grouping up in the sky and form into the shape of the two women. They give each other competitive glares before Mina moves towards the direction of the automobile giving Adina chase.
Tom adjusts his side mirror, "where the hell are they-"
Right then the two women, wrestling each other, drop down on to the hood. Tom wrestles his hand to his holster to pull out a revolver and tries to keep his eye on the road as he aims it at the blond.
Adina on top of Mina screams out, "You don't have a chance old lady!"
"Who the bloody hell are you calling old," Mina shoves Adina off her as a gun shot goes off and she feels something project in to her arm. Tom hisses at his own mistake as Mina gives him a annoy glare through the now cracked window shield.
She mouths 'thanks' sarcastically at him the wound heals in a matter of seconds before she takes off again in the direction Adina went.
Seeing that she is flying off road towards the woods Tom pulls the automobile as close as he can before having to park it and jumps out with his revolver back in holster and rifle in hand that he cocks before continuing in to the woods.
Seeing a small clearing in the middle of the heavy wintergreen forest, she lands with her heels sinking into the snow, so she is hovering above it but still allowing herself a view of the grounds.
Closing her eyes she concentrations on listening until she picks up on wrestling up in a near by tree. She opens her eyes and hovers up to the top where she sees Adina hiding in the shadow of the upper limbs.
"So where in the world did you come from?" Mina asks with her arms folded in front of her as she watches the other vampire come out of the shadow.
Adina quickly holds her arm up as a small cross bow forms out from under her sleeve, loaded, and pointing at Mina's chest. Mina reacts to lunge at her before it goes off but she did not catch on fast enough and the small wooden arrow with its sliver tip goes in to her chest causing her to fall backwards into the deep snow.
Tom walking up the clearing hears something heavy drop down causing him to rush as a cloud of bats fly overhead and away from the sight.
