[The vampire screams (1), letting Lee go, but it summons the rest of her vampire team. Two more scramble into frame and the one that seems like the leader eyes the vampire at the head of the group with a sneer.
"Scarlett."]
Belinda. What a delightful surprise.
[Her tone says it's not delightful. Belinda ignores her, tipping her hand towards One and Two. "Kill them all. We want no survivors."]
Belinda rolls her eyes. "Oh, darling. We aren't friends." And with that she reaches forward to go for Scarlett's throat (11 vs. 12), but Scarlett just dodges out of the way and bears her fangs.
One goes for Clara, swiping at the slayer (1 vs. 2), and the girl just dances out of the way. Headached lunges for Bonnie (16) to try and get some payback for the brain exploding. And Two goes for Lee (15 vs. 13) and throws her into a nearby tree.]
[Headached tries to get away but let's out a whine at the collision (12).
Clara reaches for a branch, snapping it off to make use for it as a stake. She swings in towards One (6 vs. 11) but One dances out of the way. Lee scrambles up from the ground, kicking Two in the gut (3 vs. 2) and sending the vampire stumbling backwards.
Scarlett charges at Belinda, grabbing her by the arm and twisting it behind her back (19 vs. 1). She kicks at the back of her knees, sending her to the ground as she does.]
You never did know how to respect your elders.
[Belinda bears her fangs with rage, trying to break herself free (5 vs. 14). She slams her head backwards to try and shake Scarlett off, but Scarlett is faster.
Headached tries to recover, reaching for Bonnie again (7), but still off his game. One dives for Clara to try and wrench the stake from her hands (19 vs. 3), wrenching her wrist before tassing it to the side. Two goes for Lee again (5 vs. 20), but Lee zips up fast, snapping Two's neck and dropping him to the ground.]
[Headached stumbles backwards, trying to get the dirt out of his eyes (9).
Lee grabs a stake and takes Bonnie's lay up, jabbing it into Headache's back (4 vs. 12), but the vampire catches on and stumbles to the side. Clara swings another punch at One (8 vs. 20) and the vampire dodges before shoving a hand into the girl's stomach.
Scarlett hears the girl's cry of pain and grits her teeth, trying to contend with Belinda by depriving her of her own heart (12 vs. 15), but Belinda takes the advantage and dips out of the way.
Belinda tries to break free of Scarlett's grip (15 vs. 19), but Scarlett holds her firm. Headached is now contending with two, but as Lee tries to dart away to help her friend, he snatches at her hair (4 vs. 7) and she slips through his fingers.
"Clara!" she screams, running towards her.
One just grins at the helpless girl. "Whoops. Looks like I came in a little low. Let's find that heart, shall we?" He twists his hand around and Clara gives a small cry of pain as he finds it (14 vs. 10).
He's not paying attention to something else moving in the trees nearby.]
[One is so focused on tormenting the baby slayer, that he's not prepared when the spell bursts across his brain (2). He withdraws his hand - thankfully without her heart - and drops her to the ground as his hands go to his head.
Clara drops with a gaping chest wound, and there isn't a lot of time. Which is probably why it's fortunate that the cavalry bursts from the trees, heading towards Scarlett and Belinda. Isaac takes over holding Belinda in place (9 vs. 3), before nodding to the vampire.]
Go. Help her.
[Lee charges to try and stake One while he's distracted (18 vs. 1). She channels her rage into the blow and manages to strike home, leaving him desiccating on the ground, then dropping down next to her friend to try and staunch the wound.
"Please, please don't die."
"I won't make any promises, but this should help." Scarlett bites into her wrist before sticking it into Clara's mouth, forcing her to drink.
Belinda tries to break free of Isaac's grip (13 vs. 16), but the werewolf continues to hold her firmly in place. Headache glances between the options, Scarlett standing over the injured girl, the werewolf holding Belinda, and the witch next to him, and weighs his options.
He decides time to cut their losses and run, beginning to charge off towards Belinda to ram Isaac so they can both escape, but Bonnie will have a chance to stop him if she wants.]
( She utters the word and sends it in the direction of Headache to catch him before he makes contact - and hopefully doesn't become a fireball blazing at Belinda and Isaac... (15) )
[Well, Headache definitely catches on fire (8). And is coming towards Isaac as a human-shaped fireball. Isaac's eyes widen, but he dodges out of the way of the oncoming fire (14), releasing Belinda in the process.
Belinda, however, is not so fortunate (2), and is bowled over by her compatriot on fire with a scream, ending the last two threats on the board in one fell swoop.
Isaac releases a breath, before moving quickly across the field to Bonnie, reaching for her.]
I'm fine. You? ( Probably wet, too. Once he confirms, she checks on Clara. It's been a minute, that vampire blood should be working its' way through her system. And then Lee, who's probably shaken. )
At least we know they're guarding the perimeter. I think we made the right choice. ( To Isaac. ) Was the drop bad?
I hit the water a little hard, but nothing I couldn't heal from.
[He's still a little sore, feeling the reverberations of hitting the water despite being healed, but he'll manage.
Scarlett gets up once Bonnie's attention turns to the Slayers, moving to stake the final vamp who only suffered a broken neck. Lee and Clara sit side by side with clasped hands, and Clara's face is streaked with tears, the threshold of a long, traumatic day finally coming down on them.
"I wanna go home." She whispers as she swipes at her face. "I want my mom."
( Bonnie crouches in front of them, taking them in. They are little girls. They didn't sign up for this. Pained, she nods, then stands and addresses Isaac. )
Then we'll get you to the cars. They're young. This isn't training. Their lives are on the line ( she walks him a few feet away, taking him by the wrist. she glances at them, then looks back at Isaac. ) And, we both know what will happen if we don't get Clara to safety. Going from Slayer-in-training to a vampire?
[He nods, and flips out the hidden key that will hopefully allow the manual locks to work so that Isaac can get inside, even if the key fob doesn't.]
Alright. Let's get to the car. I'll get them into town and see if I can call in reinforcements. Be careful. We don't know how many vampires are left, and they had to have humans involved to get inside.
