------ Non Journal Entry ------
Kris was having one of those nights. The kind where nothing seemed to go right. She had been out patrolling and had taken care of at least five or six zombies and had made sure they weren't local before she removed their heads but still. She was covered in blood, some of it theirs and some of it hers, she had several bruises and cuts on her face and arms. Zombies were persistent that was for sure. Kris wiped the back of her hand across her forehead as she wandered down the street, her eyes raking across the very dark town. The brief thought of 'Maybe I should have brought a flashlight' crossed her mind before she simply ignored it and continued on.
She paused at the sound of a scream and she couldn’t help but smirk," And they just keep playing my song." She turned and sprinted to where the scream was coming from and she swallowed hard. Three vampires and at least three locals all possessed, oh boy, this was not going to be easy. When she looked for the victim, her eyebrow arched, a man could scream that high, who would have thought it? Once again, she jarred herself from her thoughts and moved in to help the man.
Her first kick connected with a vampire’s head, forcing it to stagger to one side. Her next kick caught one of the locals in the back of his knee, crumpling the leg out from beneath him. The next move made by her was a punch and this she threw directly at a female vampire’s face, it connected and blood soon gushed from her nostrils as she staggered back. And finally, she brought a punch down across one side of another local’s face, his neck snapped around and he soon slumped to the ground unconscious.
She now put herself between the living man and what remained of his attackers. One vampire and one local. She knew the others would recover soon enough, for the vampires she drew out a stake and for the locals, she kept one eye locked on them at all times." Feel free to run." She muttered to the cowering man behind her, he really didn’t need to be told twice and he soon bolted.
The vampire still standing moved to go after the man but Kris quickly put herself between him and his prey." Uh uh." She said simply before drawing her head back, it moved almost in slow motion before her head suddenly snapped back and her forehead drove into the vampire’s. The vampire howled and stumbled back a few paces. Kris winced at the pain now flaring throughout her head but ignored it in favour of kicking the vampire in the chest. The vampire flew through the air before he came to a nice little stop alongside the rest of his friends.
Kris’ eyes now moved to the local reaching out for her and making that low moaning sound in the back of her throat. She was very tempted to just snap this local’s neck but she knew better than that and simply sidestepped the attempted grab. As she did, she caught a hold of the local’s arm, looped her leg around it and drove her boot into the back of the local’s head. The impact was more than enough to knock the other unconscious and the body dropped to the ground.
The tingle in her stomach flared and she let out a holler of pain as she felt fangs sinking into her neck and felt her own blood gushing from the inflicted wounds. She felt slightly dizzy for a moment before she regained her composure and drove the back of her head into the vampire’s face. The blow caused it to let go but as the fangs were ripped from the neck, they caused more damage to the wound on her neck, which meant more blood escaped. Kris hissed as she felt that happen and knew she had to get home as quickly as possible. Three vampires, one stake, she could do this.
She flipped the stake in her hand and walked back towards the vampires, she caught one fist, twisted the arm and bent the body back to expose the vampire’s chest. And then with little to no thought, she drove the stake down and into his chest; the vampire exploded into nothing more than dust. Kris was knocked off her feet by a kick to her stomach, her body literally lifted in the air before it crashed back down towards the ground.
Kris spat out some blood, ignoring the warm flow of it now escaping down the side of her neck. She twisted her body around on the ground, bringing her legs up through the air to trap the female vampire’s legs in her own before she yanked abruptly. This pulled the vampire off balance and whilst it was recovering from its less than elegant fall towards the ground, Kris moved in. She grabbed one of the vampire’s arms and flipped it onto its back before she drove the stake down into its chest and watched as the dust became one with the desert sand.
The last vampire lifted her and bared his fangs toward her, saliva dripping from the ends of them both, which won him a slight facial expression from Kris. Then with a grunt, she brought her legs up through the air and hooked them around the vampire’s neck. She braced her hands on his arms, using his hold on her to her advantage. Her legs tightened and then with a twist of her hips, his neck broke within her grip. As he dropped, Kris twisted her body in the air so she was able to land in a crouch. She didn’t stop there though, she turned and drove the stake through the vampire’s back, right into its heart and watched as it disintegrated into nothing more than dust in the wind.
Her eyes then tracked over to the locals still on the ground. She pulled out some duct tape from her pocket." I knew this would come in handy." The blood still gushed from the wound to her neck but Kris seemed to have forgotten it or was just ignoring it, either one of the two. She moved back towards the locals, grabbing each of them by their collar and propped them up against one another. She then pulled the tape free and walked around them in a circle. She did this for a few minutes before she stepped away and smirked," That ought to hold you."
Sure enough, she had just duct taped them together and put them around a nearby signpost's stand. Kris ripped a long piece of material from her tshirt that left her navel exposed but a ruined t-shirt was better than bleeding to death. She wrapped the material around her neck and tied it off before she looked back over her shoulder at the groaning locals." You’ll thank me later."
With that said, she vanished back into the night.
