IN THE SHADOWS

Standing back to back, Vivian and Everett surveyed their dire situation. Her heart was already racing from the fight, her energy and muscles already starting to fight against the strain. This is how they always won. They were immortal. While vampires could live forever, they could be killed. They could both be killed. 


Vivian felt the blade against her arm, the pain surging through her entire body as blood started to drip from her arm. She went to strike, but the wound prevented her from gripping her knife, the sound of hitting the ground echoing through the silent night.
