Vampire Bride
Giving her no warning, I swing around with the bowl in hand.
Her anticipation of my move ruins the outcome. She grasps my wrist that holds the bowl in her free hand as I grip her wrist that holds the knife. I refuse to be beaten by a girl, by a human girl nonetheless. I kick her knee forcefully, resulting in her losing her grip for a second from her own pain, which gives me the leverage to twist the knife out of her hand. I don’t come away undamaged, though. She fights me tooth and nail, resulting in the blade pointing toward me as I twist out of her grip. In slow motion I watch the knife slice my upper arm, which starts to bleed immediately.
