<span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">It wasn't hard to find the next source of food.  After all, even with the stories of people falling ill in the woods, it didn't seem to keep them from going there.  This time it was a couple of teenagers at least eighteen years in age.  By the time he had the woman pinned to a nearby tree, the man had run off.  No doubt to find help.  The only thing that worried her was the man running into the four that had killed her mate back in that clearing.  <br/>
<br/>
Her meal was over before she could finish, the life force being trained to quickly to be all that she needed.  Her hands still burned though that had lessened even if they were still a brilliant red and the skin was peeling off in some places.  Another two or three and she'd be back to new.  And those four would pay, especially the demon for killing her mate.<br/>
<br/>
Something hard hit her in the head just as the human dropped to the ground and she turned with a hiss.  The demon and the vampire were there at the edge of the woodline having followed her and the demon was laughing like he hadn't just murdered someone very dear to her.<br/>
<br/>
"Insolent welp," she snarled, taking notice of the fact there were only half of them now.  The human and the angel were gone and it seemed that her love had done more damage to the blond girl than she had originally thought.  She wondered if the demon was as vulnerable and she grinned at the thought.  She would kill the vampire bitch's friends first and make her watch and feel the pain she felt.<br/>
<br/>
She moved without warning, using her speed and strength to shove the vampire back and away.  Remember the demon summoning the sword, she grabbed his wrist next, spinning him around until her hand was on his throat and slammed him against the tree, splinters and wood flying from the force.</span></span>
