Like or love, eh? Okay, so the vampire does have some good qualities to him. So far he seems he would be protective of someone he gets closed to and had actually stuck to his code when conscious. For a second Stella wonders how many women had touched Dagger's life in such a way. Her own musing is ruined by the sound of footsteps, the door being broke in, followed by the sound of bones breaking from the room. Trouble just has to find them at every turn. Stella dives across the room in order to retrieve one of her swords when Dagger goes flying out over the balcony.<br/><br/>She manages to put a good slice into the demon's hand before it starts squeezing her. Sure enough, she can hear her ribs start to break. When the lamp smashes against the demon's head, she's instantly dropped to the floor. After being dazed for a second, she gets to her feet, reclaiming her swords. A fury of blows open multiple wounds on the demon's arm and hand, causing it to release the vampire and howl in pain and fury. "Any idea how to kill this thing?", Stella calls out to Dagger over the noise.
