This was the type of night Irs longed for-the ones that brought a twinge of nostalgia from the place her parents called home. On that island, it was constantly clouded over by the witch in the Morgan family, so the vampires inhibiting the lands could function without the worry of sunlight. Irs couldn't have told you whether the sun was even up or not. The moon glaring from the light-dotted sky, the wind blowing so slightly one would only notice who was looking for it, and the stir of the occasional animal- mostly crickets or a disturbance of leaves from a larger creature, were a perfect resemblance to back home.
She rest just her head on the stump of the tree, the reminder of her spread over the grass. Her hands were on her stomach, feet crossed at the ankles.
Since she was practically on the very edge of the forest, the last tree, probably, Irs could see the boardwalk and the apparently demon-occupied shipyard, or whatever stories floated around. Honestly, she didn't know whether or not she did or should believe in that. Staring at the sky, she really didn't care.
Deciding there was nothing better to do, Irs picked herself up in one fluid motion, as if pulled by strings, and started walking toward the boardwalk.

A sudden whistle in the wind stirred the many creatures that were in the forest. Birds suddenly launched themselves into the air with a shrill scream. Hordes of squirrels and other land mammanls began to run from the dense trees. There was obvious fear in their eyes. Something was wrong.
Suddenly, a large pillar of flames shot from only about ten feet within the woods. A strange shadow jumped from the forest and landed on the sandy beach on all fours. It then stood up on its hind legs and moved out from the shadows of the forest. The details of this strange creature were revealed.
It was a large, red demon. Two large, burnt horns, still covered with leaves shot out from the demon's grotesque face. Its back legs looked like those of a horse, but its front arms were those of a human. Its piercing yellow eyes made contact with Irs' and a jet of flame shot from his nostrils.
The demon let out a strong roar and then began to charge Irs, ready to destroy his opponent. The demon had impressive speed, but it may be possible for Irs to out run him.

Irs's hair crawled with uneasiness. It seemed, to her anyway, as if everything died in that moment-the wind, animals. She couldn't bring herself to even hear what was charging toward her.
All the sounds around the vampire came in a roaring wave in unison. A breath ran through her, which shook her chest and arms when she released it. Its crawled to the side, wanting to avoid whatever it was attacking her, but she didn't know whether or not she could outrun the thing. And why would she? Irs never ran away from a fight if she could help it.
With a burst of energy, Irs ran, on all fours-her bones and muscles seemed to be set in a way they shouldn't have been, so the motion look natural-toward an open patch of land. She made sure there was a way to get to the docks without wasting power. If her plans back-fired, or just failed, she could surely escape and retaliate later. As much as she despised retreating, there was no sense in getting killed in a battle with no story behind it. Irs, as she crouched into an attack stance, wondered out loud why this thing was attacking her in the first place.
Couldn't have been anything she'd done, could it?
Irs motioned to get the hair out from her eyes, quickly taking a tie from an extra pouch in the needle case she carried with her, and using it to string her hair behind her head. Her burgundy-red hair, with glimpses of fire, was long, so this only controlled it, not prevented it from getting in the way. Her eyes, a deep green, were fixed on her target.

A second rustling sound could be heard from the forest as the demon neared its target. A shadowing figure leaped from the trees, its appearance hidden by its quick motion. The new figure that emerged from the forest was covered in thick, plate armor which glistened in the sunlight. A large helm was over the figure's head, so its face could not be seen and its gender was unknown.
The warrior withdrew a large sword from behind its back. The sword glowed with a ferocious white blaze that surrounded the blade. The noise that the sword made being withdrawn from its sheath seemed to draw the attention of the demon. It quickly turned and charged the warrior. The warrior held its ground and held the sword in front of its body. The white blaze that surrounded the sword leaped off of the sword and flew through the demon, instantly vaporizing it.
The warrior ran forward towards Irs. "Hurry, we must go quickly. That demon was just a scout," a woman's voice said from under the armor. She grabbed Irs on the shoulder and pulled her towards the water's edge. "Stand on your guard, there will be more coming and we should be ready to fight."
