Juniper looked down and remained silent at first, but stepped back against the wall of the cavern when Davos' blade was pointed directly at her. Fear was not an easy emotion to control for her and this man inspired just that. A lot of fear. He made himself very clear before dashing off inside the cavern though. Juniper had half a mind to just run away, back towards the city, but it was not to be. 

Donnel was the next to speak to her. His wound seemed pretty bad to her - but not to him, apparently. Then again, what did she know about battle. The man ordered her around as if she was his to order. Part of her objected, but the part what hoped to survive this was stronger and caused her to shut up. She was not much of a thief, let alone a looter, but the fact that her would be looting target were all now dead and had previously been Vampires made it somewhat easier. It was a valid excuse, anyway. 

She opted for a nod of her head and followed him some way into the cavern. To herself she groaned [b]"What's honest about picking bodies clean..."[/b]

They moved fast, Juniper slower than them however. She did as she was asked and looted a few body despite her disgust for it. She hoarded everything in a purse that she found also on a body. The girl figured that if she gave it all to the hunters, they might agree to take her back safe and sound. Slowly but surely, she made her way down until she reached the last staircase leading to the area where the battle was taking place. 

Now Juniper had no intention in partaking in any of it, but her curiosity had the better of her. She made her way down half of the stairs and some more, just so she could peek inside. Staying close to the hunters was her best bet. She also figured that, this way, she'd see if danger came her way. Alas, she didn't. 

Unknown to her, a survivor from the slaughter of the previous floors crept up behind her. The female vampire was intent on killing her, but Juniper turned back right before she could snap her neck. She lunged, but the girl tripped in the stairs and resulted in the vampire pushing her all the way down. Juniper fell face first in the dust right behind the last hunters who had entered the room: two archers. ( [@Norschtalen] [@Migyudon] ) 

Juniper's assailant jumped down the stairs and took a hold of the girl to use as a sort of human shield or hostage. 

Technically, it would have put the hunters at a disadvantage dealing with a hostage situation and most of them being trapped between her and the other group led by the leader. Realistically, judging by the previous massacre, they probably did not care much for the life on one young human child. 

The vampire's grip was stronger than regular human, and easily stopped the flow of blood in her arm. The clawed hand grabbing her throat also made breathing harder. All the meanwhile, Juniper's mind went blank. 

Her senses dulled. Her frail body could not endure it. She felt only her heart beat. It beat slower, and slower...

As her heart stopped, her eyes became blood injected and her body twitched in unnatural ways. The scream of pain that was supposed to escape her came out as a roar as her whole body grew rapidly in size, as well as changed shape. In nothing but a flash, she easily rivaled the size of a very large bear, but bearing fangs and claws twice the size. 

The small hands that were grasping the vampire's arm for air had turned to enormous hands armed with claws like daggers on each fingers. Juniper grabbed the vampire's arm and threw it above herself to the ground before her and lunged at her, clawing at her upper torso until she could feel her claws hit the dirt on the other side of the now severed body. She then chewed on the head as a dog would a toy before she threw it against the nearby wall and looked up in front of her. 

There was no fear or thought left - only hunger.
There were no hunter or vampire - only prey.
