grabbed Finlay and threw him across the room. He crashed into the pulpit with such force that the big wooden platform shattered into countless pieces. The impact seemed to shake the entire building before he slumped motionless on a heap on the floor. The creature turned its attention towards me, staring with anticipation, eyes wild with blood lust. Obviously I was the chosen target. A visceral snarl came from its parted lips.
The sounds of fighting thundered from the other side of the room, where Robert was engaged in battle with the male vampire. I didn't dare move my gaze from the female in front of me, knowing that even a moment of distraction could result in my death. It leaped at me, arms outstretched, hands curled in claws. Its talon-like nails pierced painfully into my skin as it easily forced me backwards, narrowly missing the child still slumped on the chair. The air from my lungs caught in my throat as I slammed into the wall. Winded, I gasped for air, desperately trying to right myself before the next blow. The vampire had me against the wall, blocking my only path of escape. I realised the position I was in, as my mind frantically searched for an escape. I squirmed against the vice grip, desperately trying to achieve a position in which I could land a blow, any blow.
An angry roar echoed from behind us as we heard loud snaps and crunches as the fight continued. The female snapped its head around with concern for its mate. Taking advantage of the distraction, I pushed backward with all the strength I could muster, before sending a blow to its head with my fist. I sent a kick into the creature's stomach before it had time to recover from the previous blow. It staggered backwards but righted itself quickly. A hiss of rage passed through its lips as it glared through furious eyes toward me. My hand still gripped the machete tightly, and I swung it toward the monster in a frenzied attack. It lithely danced away from the blows. The creature pulled its lips back in a terrifying grimace, exposing serrated and glistening teeth. It was a petrifying sight that sent a second burst of adrenaline pulsing through my veins. It sprung toward me, knocking me from my feet. I landed heavily on my back, air whooshing sharply from my lungs. It quickly pinned me down, teeth inches from my face. I desperately struggled against its grip, unable to move. I fought against the monster with every ounce of energy I had left, but it wasn't enough. As the gnashing, ragged teeth inched closer still, I cringed away and waited for death, praying that it would be swift.

My eyes snapped open as I felt a sudden jolt when the vampire was ripped off me. Finlay was standing over me, blood dripping from a large gash in his head. The vampire stared hungrily toward him, blood lust clearly visible in its eyes. Its teeth were bared and ready to ravage. A loud howl rang out from the opposite side of the room. Everyone snapped their heads around toward the sound. Robert had the male vampire pinned against the wall, machete to its neck. In one quick movement, he sliced through its neck, decapitating the monster. The female let out a horrifying howl, as the male vampire's head dropped to the floor.
No one moved for a moment. Everyone scrutinised the female for signs of what she might do next. The creature began to shake uncontrollably. Rage emanated from every pore, eyes radiant with fury. It turned its attention back to Finlay, springing toward him, knocking him from his feet. He roared as it sunk its teeth into his neck, talons clawing into his chest.
I reached around with my left hand to the small of my back and unhooked my gun. The room exploded in a deafening thunder, as I sent five rounds into the back of the vampires head. I knew that a bullet wouldn't stop the bitch, but I hoped that it might slow it down. The shots only hindered the vampire momentarily. It turned toward
