<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">"Oh stop your whining."</span> One of the vampires teased. <span style="text-decoration: underline">"No one can hear your screaming. No one's coming to rescue you."</span> The shrieks of agony from the young boy were muffled by the hand of the vampire whom was currently biting him; the leader no doubt, the one who did most of the work. Though Alyxander hadn't been able to see in the darkness of that night, the attacker wasn't a male; it was a girl, unlike her partners.
