Alex yanked his shoulders forward and to the side and spun, painfully digging his heels and the weather vane into the tiles until he scraped tp a stop. His bare feet sang with pain.

Then she was on him. Teh vampire growled and Alex whipped the weather vane over, smashing hard against her shoulder and neck.

This time she was hurt —the creature yelped and fell back.

Alex watched ber crouch there for a moment, black blood streaming where he'd slashed her. She spat, "You do this a lot?"
