I Sacrifice Myself
leap. I prayed to Selene and hoped I landed
perfectly.
Less then three seconds later it was almost
ten feet directly in front of me, moments from running me down, I
lithely leapt right on top of the hood. I slid only a little
because it was slick from the rain. As I landed I swirled, and
kicked out the windshield, nearly losing my balance. I quickly
righted myself and I threw two, instantaneously, knives directly at
the stranger. The woman had jumped and leaned far to the right as I
had kicked the windshield in, so my daggers slid into the
seat.
    “ Shit!”
I could not get a good look at her eyes. She
was not invisible, but that meant nothing, not when the vamps could
control their visibility.
I reached in and managed to drag her out,
with her kicking and clawing. She screamed and fought back like a
maniac but not a vampire or shifter.
Instantly I could tell she was human… but
the vamp that landed on the back of the hummer was not. The moving
hummer buckled a little under the impact but was reinforced for
this. I shuffled precariously, and had it not been for my grip on
the woman, could have easily fallen off the truck.
I was taken by surprise by the vamp, and
paid the price.
He dove at me, clearly aware of my
strengths, and we both flew to the ground hard. I tried to roll as
we were midair but found it very difficult.
The woman threw the brakes on, slid
sideways, and barrel rolled into the gate. The whole time screaming
like banshee on fire.
I could pay the strange fickle woman no more
attention, not with Helter Skelter in my face, and while trying not
to land on my back.
As we landed I twisted and allowed the full
force of my fall and weight to propel me the direction I wanted, so
that I was not pinned underneath.
It was a waste of energy and time because he
immediately righted himself, bringing his full weight down on me.
We landed with me crying out pathetically, ‘oof’, and gasping for
oxygen. I was dead if I didn’t do something soon.
I felt his putrid and rank breath as he
inhaled and exhaled my scent. Was I as much a freak to him as he
was to humans? He salivated, purely enthralled it seemed, the
spittle merely centimeters from the right side of my face. I would
puke if his noxious dripping saliva found its way into my
mouth.
I jerked my head from side to side, just as
he tried desperately to get a bite in. The fine hairs on my neck
were at attention and I could feel my insides began to quiver and
burn. One of us would die tonight, and hopefully it would be his
roasted carcass.
Before I knew it, the vamp was suddenly and
violently torn off me, and had been tossed into a nearby tree. The
loud echoing crack was as mind numbing as was seeing Dimitri, who
stood protectively between me and the vamp, who was still knocked a
little silly.
I quickly leapt to my feet and rushed, only
slightly dazed, to his side. He snarled at me, warning me to let
him handle it. I refused and like the well-known snarky brat I was,
I stuck out my tongue. He was my mentor, lover, friend, and much…
so much more. Dimitri only rolled his eyes.
Commander Ian’s orders rang out, but we were
moving just a bit too fast for them.
The vamp untangled himself within a second
of being spanked by a tree and gave us a seriously wicked, pissed
off look.
He feigned as if he was going to run off and
just as we followed, he turned and flipped. He pounced directly on
top of me, again, seeing me as the weaker link.
    “ Dammit!” I cried,
involuntarily.
I was prepared for him though this time and
flipped him right over me, with Dimitri already shifting so he
could take on the vamp, instead of me.
I managed to stop my momentum and turn
around, but not before Dimitri had the vamp in a desperate and what
seemed like a vicious headlock. Dimitri planned to decapitate him.
I saw the vamps face as he turned, and his arms lock around
Dimitri’s waist.
We were all moving so fast at this point,
that none of the humans could get a lock on us, or the freak about
