With a blade stuck in his gut, Devon grabbed onto the shoulder of the vampire that had impaled him, thinking it was over. Then out of the blue Eleanor charges in from behind him and pierces through the middle of the other vampire, causing him to separate from Devon. 

Devon sank to his knees. Fortunately, the other vampires had had enough and left anyway, furious with both the orphans and their mysterious vampire defender. This, would not be forgotten.

Devon glanced behind him, catching a glimpse of Eleanor as she turned and fled. "Thank you..." He said softly, holding onto his side where he had been stabbed. He turned his head forward again, thereby hiding his face inside the hood. He took a few ragged breaths, then began to stand up.
