The vampire with the missing hand screamed and raised his bleeding stump of an arm for protection as his own sword and dead hand came at him in a fast arc, Randal sweeping the blade toward its former owner. But the arm did little to defend the vampire as the blade passed through the forearm then neck, this one’s head falling to the ground as well.

Two of the remaining vampires screamed a battle cry of rage and came at the Special again. Randal deflected their blows, but the last vampire had turned and was running away down the hall.
