The remaining man was panicked, but the vampire was on to her, looking at the air duct where Clara hid. She didn’t have a choice. She loaded the only dart with the blue dot that she had pulled out and blew the dart at the last man, knowing the vampire’s heightened senses would see it.

Then in a flash, she drew her kitana sword, slicing through the air duct as she did.

The vampire reached his hand out and intercepted the dart before it could hit the last man, but this was exactly what Clara had wanted him to do.
