caroline

The house caught alight quickly and soon we could hear screams from inside. The shade from the trees covered too much of the area and only a small area of sunlight surrounded the house. Then everything happened so fast. Those inside burst out of the house through the windows and the doors, some were on fire already and the others caught fire when the sunlight hit them. We moved in for the attack but some got past us and into the shade of the trees. Luca and I followed treacle and Nosferatu into the trees and found them with another male, treacle had burned her face and it was already starting to scar and heal. We all crouched into the protective stance ready to attack then the male caught the same scent we all did and he took off to take care of the human the hunter. Cleo. Treacle was very angry that I had kept being able to go out in daylight a secret from her. The four of us fought dodging advances from the others we wrestled back and forth for what seemed like forever. Then I was pinned to the ground by treacle and she was about to go in for the kill when luca was on her back trying to pull her from me. He was stopped by Nosferatu who had grabbed him and was pulling him away and trying to bite him. That was when we all heard the loud crack and Nosferatu cried out in pain as sun light burst through him from the inside out. Cleo stood in between the trees with her gun held out in front of her. I took the advantage as treacle was distracted and I tore a large chunk from her neck then I ripped her head from her shoulders tossing it to the ground as the blood spurted out and pooled in a puddle on the ground next to her lifeless body. Luca helped me get to my feet as the remains of Nosferatu fell to the ground. We turned to face cleo to thank her and were horrified to see the other male right behind her, I tried to call out to her but he had his hand on her shoulder. She did not turn, she did not run and she did not cry out as he stretched his mouth to reveal his sharp teeth and leaned towards her.

luca


It was not long till the screams from the house began as the flames took hold. The shade from the trees covered too much of the area and only a small area of sunlight surrounded the house. Then everything happened so fast. Those inside burst out of the house through the windows and the doors, some were on fire already and the others caught fire when the sunlight hit them. We moved in for the attack but some got past us and into the shade of the trees. caroline and I followed treacle and Nosferatu into the trees and found them with another male, treacle’s face was burned and scarring. We all crouched into the protective stance ready to attack then the male caught the same scent we all did and he took off to take care of the human the hunter. Cleo. I wanted to protect caroline but I also had to protect myself. Treacle was very angry that caroline had kept being able to go out in daylight a secret from her. The four of us fought dodging advances from the others we wrestled back and forth for what seemed like forever. Then Nosferatu and I were throwing each other against the trees which were shaking from the impact, we punched at each other but always missed. I saw caroline was pinned to the ground by treacle and she was about to go in for the kill I managed to land a punch to his head and sent him to the ground stunned. I then went to help caroline I was on treacle’s back trying to pull her from caroline. then Nosferatu had grabbed me and was pulling me away and trying to bite me. That was when we all heard the loud crack and Nosferatu cried out in pain as sun light burst through him from the inside out. Cleo stood in between the trees with her gun held out in front of her. Caroline took the advantage as treacle was distracted and she tore a large chunk from her neck then she ripped her head from her shoulders tossing it to the ground as the blood spurted out and pooled in a puddle on the ground next to her lifeless body. i helped caroline get to her feet as the remains of Nosferatu fell to the ground. We turned to face cleo to thank her and were horrified to see the other male right behind her, I tried to call out to her but he had his hand on her shoulder. She did not turn, she did not run and she did not cry out as he stretched his mouth to reveal his sharp teeth and leaned towards her.
