[hr]

At the sight of Leatherface, Lyss couldn't hide her bemusal. Her eyes crinkled and her eyebrows rose slightly. The voice gave her a clue to who it was underneath the horror film mask, but her jumpy nature was an easy tell. [color=D3D3D3]"Hey, Riley."[/color] Lyss would have said more, but she had to keep quiet so that she wouldn't laugh at the wiggling necklace of garlic around Riley's neck.

Pizza sounded great.

Maya approached, looking like she'd just been on a run. Roughing up a group of vamps counted as a workout in Lyss's book. She almost envied Maya for wearing such a comfortable outfit. Lyss herself was in an the same all black ensemble from the meeting of (already and soon to be further) ripped jeans, a pair of Timberland boots, and a black v-neck tee. It would be as easy to move in as leggings and a crop top, but she was sure that the jeans would prevent her legs from getting scuffed up. The boots would also hurt if she kicked a bloodsucker in the right place.

Lyss simply winked at Maya when she called her bat inferior. She swung the bat around lazily and turned away as the girls began to rat on Riley's garlic necklace. If none of them knew what vampires were like, how could they know that the garlic was a myth? She rolled her eyes, and would have explained the nature of vampires to them if Babylon hadn't beaten her to it. 

Babylon continued to babble on, and Lyss busied herself with surveying the trailer park while she waited for Kayla to show. From the looks of it, it seemed like the entire park was inhabited by the pricks. [i]They probably drank the humans that lived here before.[/i] Her brows furrowed. [i]We may be outnumbered here. Can these girls take that on?[/i] She glanced back at the group to see Jessica and Elise show up too. Jessica seemed pumped as always, but Elise looked like she was about to test her fight or flight reflex. Lyss nodded to the pair, but preferred to listen to the girls talk. She was saving her energy for the fight. Which was taking a little too long to start. Lyss huffed softly and leaned her weight onto one leg, the bat resting against the nape of her neck. 

"Sin" showed all by herself. With no beast in tow. Lyss watched her summon the chimera, snake tail and all. As annoying as Quinn could be about of abstraction, Lyss had to admit that she was impressed by her skills. She might have looked like she was struggling, but Lyss recognized a seasoned summoner when she saw one. The fact that Quinn could stand her ground against a wild beast such as the chimera was enough to give her a few brownie points too.

More chatting, more people arriving, and Lyss wondered if Kayla had told them two hours just so they'd be there on time for her arrival. Then again, Kayla probably didn't care when the girls arrived. She probably would have scared the vamps on her own. Lyss felt dependable now that Kayla had asked her, and the group too, for help.

So, Lyss waited patiently. She continued to watch the trailers. Looking for signs of movement in or outside of them as she waited was enough to pass the time. [i]Pizza, pizza... Where should we go?[/i]

In the distance she heard a rumbling, and she turned her head to see Kayla's ol' reliable making its way towards them. [i]Wonder what the vamps are thinking of this sight. Moderately large group of girls with masks and weapons just chilling, and here comes Mrs. Big and Bad rolling down the lane. Are they quaking in their flip flops, or loading their shotguns? It was the south, after all.

[i]I gotta get a chain like that. Can't wait to see how she uses it.[/i]

[i]Thank god someone else let Riley's necklace slide. Does no one believe in cutting the ill informed some slack?[/i]

Lyss straightened as Kayla began to look the group over. The only tell that Lyss was ready to get to action was the firm grip on her bat. She even allowed herself to the teacher's pet for a few moments. While Lyss was already aware of these weak points, (there's was a reason she owned an aluminum bat), she was glad that Kayla was demonstrating to the others who might not. Lyss returned Kayla's nod with one of her own and laid the bat against the back of her shoulders. Each arm came up to rest her wrists against the top of it, her hands dangling over the other side. 

While her adrenaline was already beginning to pump through her veins as she followed Kayla, she preferred to keep her body in a relaxed position. First and foremost, the girls were there for intimidation purposes only. If things went south, Lyss would certainly jump into action. 

Well... Let's just say things went [i]incredibly[/i] south. Lyss, who'd remained a bit behind Kayla and stood staring the vamps down, had gotten herself caught up in watching Kayla absolutely [b]dominate[/i] the massive head honcho.  She smirked beneath her mask as she watched. [i]She would have done well in Miami.[/i]

Unfortunately, and just as expected, the rest of the gang retaliated. Lyss had also considered watching Kayla's back, but it looked like Madison had that bit covered. Instead, it was Lyss's time to wreck a few vampire's pearly whites. She turned to put her back to Kayla and her new bitch of a vampire and grinned as she saw  other suckers emerging from the adjacent trailers. [color=D3D3D3]"Hey, suckfaces! You mess with my friend, you get the louisville slugger treatment."[/color] She shouted, pointing her bat towards Kayla and then towards the group.

The four goons, all males wearing a range of wife beaters and low hanging jeans to ripped tees and basketball shorts, the usual Florida crackhead attire, saw Lyss and slowly began to spread out around her.

[b]"Bro, was it the bong rip we just took or am I seeing shit?"[/b] One red-eyed guy asked his buddy to the left. 

[b]"Nah, man, she's actually there. She's that shit-weed bitch of a dealer's girlfriend or sumthin'."[/b] 

[b]"Would you two shut up? I've got the munchies [i]bad[/i] and this chick smells better than ma's fried chicken."[/b]

[b]"Aw man, you're right. I bet the bitch dealer tastes good too."[/b] The second vamp agreed, pulling a pocket knife from his cargo shorts. The others grinned. The first vamp lazily picked up a wrench from beside of a beat-up honda civic. The third remained off to the side with a devilish grin, likely waiting for an opportunity to grab their meal. The fourth, who had remained silent throughout the conversation, released a puff of smoke as he stopped holding the smoke in his lungs and smirked. [b]"Yo, these girls are witches. What-what if,"[/b] he stopped to laugh for a second. The three vamps, and even Lyss, stopped to give him annoyed looks. [b]"What if they had a spell to get us all really fucking high?"[/b]

Lyss had enough of waiting around. Without giving the vamp's another second to banter, she cocked back her bat and swung it right into the fourth vampire's stomach. She turned away from him as he doubled over and glared at the other vamps. [color=D3D3D3]"No wonder you couldn't tell good weed from oregano. You're a bunch of fucking idiots."[/color]

Seeing their smoking buddy on their knees, vomiting up whatever the contents of their stomach had been, managed to sober the fuck out of the others. Lyss raised her bat, watching the two bro's snarl as they advanced towards her. The third still remained off to the side. [i]I see you, snake. You're just giving me more time to take care of your friends.[/i]

The vamp with the wrench came at her first, swinging the hunk of metal straight for her head. Lyss ducked to the side and spun, bringing her bat down onto the man's forearms as she came back around to face him. She then raised her elbow closest to his face and slid her arm over until it connected with his larynx. The vamp's cry was instantly cut short as he choked against the blow.

His buddy with the knife lunged at her from the right, and Lyss had to immediately retreat to avoid his blade. Even though he was high, she could tell that he was skilled with a blade. He'd definitely cut enough blunt wraps to know how to use it. Probably a few throats, too.

The two paced each other for a second, both watching each other to see who'd make the first move. Lyss was smart enough to know that if she swung first, he'd easily slice into her like a piece of cake. [i]One swing is all you get against a knife. Wait for them to go first, and hit him on the knee. They'll drop the knife, and you can get another swing in while they drop.[/i]

The vamp must have realized she was smart, and so he took a different approach. He spun the knife until the blade was pointing downwards in his hand. Raising the blade above his head, he thrust it downwards towards Lyss's chest. With no time to swing at his exposed ribs, Lyss dug her heel into the ground, gripped both ends of the bat, and held it up to block his arms from coming down any further. The two struggled in a power hold for a moment before Lyss found an opening. Shifting her weight onto her right leg, Lyss kicked the vamp right in the groin. The vamp cursed, but the force of his arms pressing downwards released and Lyss found her second opening. She knelt down onto the ground close to his body and pushed herself upwards with her feet. Her shoulder connected with his solar plexus, and she effectively knocked him back far enough that the blade wouldn't reach her. It was [i]then[/i] that she swung the bat, the long aluminum weapon crashing into the side of his knee.

Lyss quickly stood and kicked the blade away from the groaning vamp. She looked around, noticing that the fourth vampire was gone from her sight. [color=D3D3D3]"Guess he got scared,"[/color] she murmured, casually turning to walk away from the scene. She heard rapid steps approaching her from behind and grinned. [i]Just as I expected.[/i] She looked over her bat for a second, assessing any dents or scratches. Satisfied with it's condition, she firmly wrapped each hand around it's base, spun around on her heels, and felt the bat connect directly with the yellow-stained, sharp incisors of the one vampire that tried to surprise her.
