Jackie scrambled to her feet, almost hissing at Nate. "I told you to get out of here!" She said, squaring off with the hunter. She braced herself for thw worst to happen. This man was strong, and evil. She could feel the waves of hostility eminating from him. She darted in to the right for an attack, but his hand made contact with her shoulder, roughly pushing her away and delaying her attack.
She would need help, she knew it. Leah! She thought. If your out there, I need your help!
The vampire that Nate had tackled, hissed and snapped his jaws, while writhing out of Nate's grasp. He pushed Nate's shoulders hard, giving him time to scramble away and to a low crouch. "She's got you wrapped around her tiny finger, doesn't she?" He taunted, spitting. "Everytime we find her, she has some guy trying to be vallient and protect her. Wanna know what happened?" He asked, clearly enjoying toying with Nate's head. "She forgot them and ran, leaving them all for dead."
Jackie was too far away to hear the jeers the vampire was spitting and even if she did hear, she couldn't really do anything. She leaped at the hunter, but his hand flashed forward and hit her ribs at the last second. All the air whooshed out of her body and she stumbled backwards, gasping. LEAH! She screamed mentally.
