A Halfling

"What now?" 

Jiang Ying Yue murmured under her breath as she lifted the drapes of the carriage window to look outside but she got immediately blinded by the bright light that suddenly shone and disappeared, turning everything just as dark as before.

Not having another option, she stepped out of the carriage and found the coachman lying unconscious on his seat. After quickly checking his pulse and making sure that he was alright, she moved her attention towards her surroundings.

The darkness was her best friend and unlike others, she as a vampire was the last person to feel any sort of fear when surrounded by this friend of hers. Her eyes quickly scanned the area, searching for the source of that sudden light and the reason that stopped her from moving ahead.
