Serena's head was swirling, there were more Strigoi than she had thought and the group was making it hard to think. Luckily for her, fight was so engrained in her that she didn't need to. She kept running until she reached the car, pregnant or not Serena could still be anyone in a foot race. She pulled the door open and let Anna push Sebastian in. Serena turned at Anna's warning and on instinct rose her stake. The only thing that stopped her from throwing a punch at the Strigoi was Anna's sudden appearance. She watched the Strigoi as Sebastian told her to get in the car. She started to back up when the Strigoi was suddenly lunging at her. 

Anna, who jumped in front of her, was lucky that Serena didn't accidentally strike her and managed to pull back her blow. 

She watched as Anna was tossed aside before she jumped back into the fray. The woman didn't even have a chance to get all of her words out before Serena was driving a stake through the Strigoi's heart. She didn't wait to be told again and hopped into the car. She took a deep breath, pushing down the sickness, which worsened for a moment after killing. Killing was always the worst, the ghosts started to encroach on her right after and she had to take a moment to push them away... She didn't always have that time, the good thing was that Strigoi seemed just as scared of the ghosts and she had used that once or twice to her own advantage. She touched her head against the steering wheel and placed her palms against her temples. The piercing headache from the souls was prominent and she was struggling to keep the ghosts at bay. She took a deep breath, a thin layer of sweat covered her face, "You need to drive," She told Sebastian before she quickly climbed out of the driver's seat and into the passenger's, thankful that they had pushed him into the back of the car.

Gunner stared his mother down as she walked toward him. She clearly had told her Strigoi to keep out of sight because there were now a lot more than two attacking Anna and the others. She smiled, "Are you admiring my army? I couldn't waste all that talent, now could I? Especially when they were going to help me get to you."

By the time anyone had a moment to breath, Gunner and Abigail were gone.
