Matt, this time stunned at the fact that the shot hit. He stood there blankly staring at Dresden's motionless body. He placed Michelle on the roof of the car and hopped down, walking over to where the beast lay still. Glancing at Dresden's Crimson Blade, he grabbed it picking it up and thrusting it into the air shouting, "Your leader, Dresden has been killed! If you bloodsuckers don't want to meet his fate, you best get the hell out of this village and far from it, or I will personally hunt you all down like the dogs you are!"

He grinned in triumph as the vampires began to flee to village, by some strange miracle they had won. Though they had lost many people, they had beaten back the vampire force, at least for now.
