All six of Carver's eyes were wide and pleading as she held up the purple remains of a very distinctive hat. "She's gonna light us all on [i]fire[/i]!" she whimpered, staring up at Sally. "[i]Please[/i] tell me you can fix it!"

Carmilla growled as Shock got hold of her wrists, but didn't give way to being pinned. She let her arms be moved downward just long enough for her opponent to get a momentum up that would prevent her from dodging a head butt. Shock surprisingly didn't let go, probably from having been hit like that enough times not to be stunned by it, but it gave the vampire just enough time and leverage to roll over on top of her and press a knee down on her stomach.

She noticed that at some point she had stopped relying on her supernatural abilities, and was just plain fighting now. She'd never admit it, but just straight up punching someone without having to worry about what a person of her station [i]should[/i] do was actually kind of stress relieving.

Of course, if Shock happened to notice she'd slowed down at all, she'd just say she was holding back to make it "fair".
