The Spawn of Hate
vampires in the side of the head and felt instant pain in my hand. It felt like I had just broken my hand with that punch and the vampire didn’t seem as if it hurt her at all. She looked at me and was attempting to throw a punch but the blond girl recovered and took her out with a kick to the head. Now it was us two versus one Vampire but the guy with the lights was still coming towards me.
    “I can hold her off” The blond girl looked at me and continued “Get out of here before Nick reaches you”.
    I took off at a full sprint to the other end of the park. As I was running I could see the crowd shift and move towards me. The guy with the hands who I figured was Nick, turned towards me and really started letting people have it. I saw Khatara go down to his lights as another werewolf took her place to keep him distracted. A female wizard jumped in my path and started walking towards me. Normally I would have brought the pain but I had no idea what she could do. Ronnie ran in from the side to take her on. She suddenly vanished. I mean as in she was not there anymore. She appeared on my right side and gave me a kick to the back. I turned to return the blow just as she disappeared and kicked me again. I tried swing at her again but she vanished and continued her assault. Everytime I swung I connected with air and was beginning to get tired from the punishment I was taking. I decided on a different course of action. When she appeared and hit me from behind, instead of turning around and taking a swing, I started shadow boxing with all I had at the empty area in front of me. She reappeared just as I was throwing a right cross. I caught her square in the temple and she went out like a light. I couldn’t believe I had just hit a girl like that. As I was standing there stunned, I suddenly felt a wave of electricity wash over me and I felt face first on the ground unable to move.
                  I had never been tasered before but this had to be what it felt like. I stayed on the ground what felt like minutes but was probably only a couple of seconds. I could hear some type of alarm go off and then all the sounds of fighting died out. I was getting over whatever just happened to me when the blond girl from earlier came over and helped me up.
                  “You almost made it Cory, just a couple of more feet and we would have been home free!” The girl who fought off the vampires said. “Well maybe next time we can go all the way.”
                  “Um, do I know you?” I replied.
                  “Oh sorry!” she said continuing “I’m Summer, I know everything that goes on here. So how are you settling in?”
                  Before I could answer the vampire high jumper from earlier came over with a disgusted look on her face. She gave Summer a once over and turned to face me.
                  “Pathetic”, she started “All you had to do was run to the end of the field whenever they closed on you. What in that horrible little human brain of yours did not comprehend the meaning of your role?”
                  “Yeah it was my bad,” I replied, “I just wanted to help out Summer, it looked like she was getting worked over pretty good, not that I helped a whole bunch. Heck I think I even broke my hand!”
                  “Who cares about your stupid hand? This thing that is masquerading around as a student is of little consequence. You should have let it be destroyed. Right now we are talking about you and your failures.”
                  What a witch. She was talking about Summer like she wasn’t even there. I probably was the reason we lost, but in the end it’s just a stupid game. No need to tear me down. I took a glance at Summer and she looked like she wanted to go somewhere and crawl up and die. This Vampire must be one of the popular kids in her click. I didn’t know who this chick thought
