However, satisfaction rapidly turned to horror as the Knight of Tomorrow saw that her foe’s heart was still intact, suspended in the gaping hole where the vampire’s torso had been and protected by a hastily erected blood barrier. But while her attack may have failed to end the vampire’s unholy life, it [i]had[/i] succeeded in getting his attention… Turning his pitch black eye sockets upon her, Justin advanced, a wedge of blood forming before him, while twin nets of crimson amassed at his sides, primed to sandwich the high-tech heroine in a world of pain. Well, even [i]greater[/i] pain than she was already experiencing… Ashely’s agony was nearly unbearable. Acid ate into her flesh, boils erupted across her skin, and now chunks of hail were beginning to pummel her already battered body. Every nerve ending screamed at her to seek cover from the savage onslaught and healing from its ravages. Yet Ashley could not move. An enraged vampire lord was baring down upon her with more than enough strength to end her feeble life. Every self preservation instinct in her brain screamed at her to flee before such an unstoppable and inevitably fatal assault. Yet Ashley could not move. The vile monster who had so flippantly taken the life of her teammate, her [i]friend[/i], stood before her. Her soul screamed for her to crush his disgusting heart in her bare hands. Yet Ashley [i]still[/i] could not move. Transfixed by the vampire’s baleful gaze, Ashley could neither flee from her opponent, nor charge to meet him. But that did not mean she could not [i]fight[/i] him… Though frozen in place, her arm was still extended, her techno-wand still aimed at the small slit in the crimson barrier through which Justin continued to violate her with his blasphemous vision. Perhaps she should have tried to protect herself with a defensive melody, but then, that would, at best, only stop the [i]first[/i] attack, would merely delay the inevitable. The vampire’s attack would never come if he ceased to exist, and Ashley’s hatred would allow no other course of action to be taken. [color=MediumSpringGreen][i]Die, damn you…[/i][/color] she commanded, while firing two quick shots, just as before, but this time, directly between what passed for the abomination’s eyes… [color=MediumSpringGreen][i]Just.
