Challenge him

No matter who it was, Venus could not bring herself to kill someone in his sleep while he was completely defenseless. Though it was not in the Shadow Hunter creed - only the hunt mattered - her own personal honor would not allow it.

Venus took a few steps back, holding her flask of Alchemist's Fire. "Awaken foul monster!" She shouted. "Your evil deeds have caught up with you! Prepare to meet your doom!"

The vampire's eyes sprang open and he quickly sprang to his feet. Venus threw the flask, but the vampire managed to twist away, and it just barely grazed his arm. A few drops of the magic solution dripped on his sleeve, before the flask shattered harmlessly behind him and the liquid seeped harmlessly into the floor.

The vampire's sleeve caught on fire, and he quickly tore off his shirt and tossed it to the side where it quickly disintegrated. Gripping his arm in pain, he backed away slowly, eyeing his attacker warily.

Venus quickly drew her sword and averted her eyes away from his, to avoid falling prey to his hypnotic gaze. Instead she found herself blushing as she stared at his broad muscular chest and was suddenly aware of her own state of disrobe. Her tattered garments barely concealed her most private parts. As they circled each other, the vampire's eyes roamed over her toned, beautiful body, causing her to blush even more.

Venus lunged forward swinging her sword with incredible speed, and the vampire barely stepped back in time to avoid being decapitated. She continued pressing on her attack, scoring several minor nicks and cuts on her adversary, and pushing him towards the corner. Adrenaline coursed through her body, keeping the earlier flustered emotions at bay. Swing, stab, feint, stab. She was beginning to slow down, but dared not let up, believing she had the advantage and would land a major strike soon.

The vampire's back hit the wall, and Venus thrust her sword towards his chest to finally finish him. Her attack was slightly slower than her previous ones, and the vampire managed to twist to lean to the side. With jarring ****, her sword hit the stone wall, sending vibrations down her arm. Like a snake, the vampire's arm shot out and grabbed her wrist. Venus yelped in pain, as his fingers dug into her flesh and her sword clattered to the ground. Grabbing her by the shoulders, the strong vampire spun her around and slammed her back into the corner. Venus was momentarily dazed, and the vampire took the opportunity to tear away what remained of her tunic, exposing her soft full breasts.

Venus moaned as she struggled to remain on her feet. The vampire had her cornered, standing close with one hand on either wall beside her. He allowed her a few moments to recover, while he admired her breasts rising and falling with each ragged breath.
