So far, the killings were going well. The element of surprise allowed the hunters to get a few solid kills on the vampires before their own warriors could muster a defense. And while they did have a few heavy hitters here, the vampires were no doubt still confused and uncertain what they faced. Such as the nature of an ambush. Donnel was ready to move ever onwards when one of the vampires, thought to be dead, made a run for it. He was no fool, and would rather risk burning in the bright morning sun then to face the hunters in his own. But he also knew that he could not escape easily during the day. With his injuries and his weakness, he needed a prisoner. So he grabbed the first defenseless looking person he say, Juniper. Poor girl was just trying to avoid the mayhem, only to be dragged to it. The vampire lunged at Juniper, his mind still racing between taking her as a human shield to fend off against those paranoid humans, or a margining chip to make his escape. Unfortunately for him but fortunately m for everyone else, Donnel has different plans. When the vampire put his hands in Juniper a single axe cleave decapitated the head of the man in one clean blow. It was no silver weapon, but a steel blade could do as well as a silver weapon if you need it to cut off heads. [b]”Careful kid. Don’t need you Dead.”[/b] Donnel extended a hand to pick Juniper up. But as luck would have it, a one of the corpses was not quite yet dead. The vampire Donnel has faced and split his skull had just recovered from the otherwise fatal and life ending injury. While Donnel had his back turned the vampire whelp picks up the pitchfork he was using for baling hay and threw it at the back of an otherwise distracted or uninterested Donnel.
