Aries nodded at Luca’s assessment, they needed to get upstairs… Which meant they would be trapped once there. He trotted upstairs slowly behind Luca, while he thought about leading them he figured that if they were attacked from behind at least he could take the hit better than Luca could. He paused when Luca pressed back against the wall, which meant that ahead was danger. Aries pressed back as well and waited for Luca to move, not wanting to give away their position when he didn’t know what Luca had seen ahead. He was surprised though, they should have reached a floor that wasn’t boarded up now which meant there would be some sunlight… But perhaps not enough to immediately render the vampires immobile. But it would mean their advantage since Luca would be able to see on the same level as the vampires.<br/><br/>He nodded when told to be careful, and he readied himself for the fight, his hands ready at his sides. Perhaps it would be useful for the vampire to use knives like Luca but… When his hands could rip through a vampire just as easily it was probably not worth the money to get any. He hurried up behind Luca, and while he could have assisted the human he instead decided to rush forward instead. The hallway was too narrow for him to fight at Luca’s side, it would be best if he could merely weed down the numbers.<br/><br/>He managed to get past the first couple, but finally a third grabbed him by his hair, Aries growling before turning and gripping the other vampire’s wrist and squeezing while his other went for the vampire’s stomach. He felt a sharp sting just under his jaw, wincing as the vampire barely missed tearing his throat out, but Aries managed to gouge out the other’s bowels before he could try again. The hand in his hair loosened, and finally, the vampire dropped.<br/><br/>Aries touched the wound on his neck and noted that while it cut down to the bone it hadn’t hit anything major, and after feeding from Luca he was healing rapidly. He didn’t have long to think on it though as he saw Luca being backed against a wall. He hurried forward and managed to jump up on the other vampire’s back, legs wrapping around him as he gripped the beast’s shoulders in an effort to get him still enough for Luca to deal the finishing blow. He felt the vampire’s claws gouging his arms and reaching for his eyes or throat while the creature cursed and snarled, but Aries merely grit his teeth against the pain, unable to get a good purchase to rip out the other’s neck first. He only hoped that once he got these down there wouldn’t be more, a group like this was hard enough.
