The loud bangs woke Alan up. "What's going on? Is it time to eat yet?" Alan asked in a groggy voice.
"Shit." Rachel exclaimed in a low voice, and with lighting speed, reassembled the gun. She then loaded it with a full magazine. Katie gasped at this.
More bangs on the door. "I repeat, this is the police! Open this door! We just want to ask some questions!"
This caused Alan to shoot up completely, now fully awake, and he turned to see Rachel, gun in hand, approaching the door.
"What are you-" Before Alan could finish the question, Rachel cut him off.
"You two hide in the back of the room and stay down. Do not try to get out, no matter what you hear, got it?" Rachel said quickly and coldly, cocking the gun in her hand.
"B-but-" Katie tried to speak, but Rachel cut her off as well.
"I don't remember if I told you this Katie, but I'll say it anyways. To be caught by the police is as good as be handed over to the vampires on a silver platter. The cops don't realize this, but we're dead if they catch us. In this situation, it's kill or be killed, and I doubt they'll go away if we ask nicely."
Rachel then turned to both Alan and Katie, revealing her cold and lifeless eyes. The eyes of a killer. A sight that struck fear into both Alan and Katie.
"Now, take cover, and do not leave this room." Rachel told the two of them sternly, and when she saw them move, she turned and approached the door.
The door banged once more. "This is your final warning! Open this door, or we will force it down!"
"Not if I do so first." Rachel said grimly, and in a low voice.
With that, Rachel raised her foot, and kicked the door as hard as she could. The door easily flew off of it's hinges and flew several dozen feet before it even touched ground, along with the cop who was standing in front of it.
The two cops that were standing on either side of the door only had time to widen their eyes in surprise before Rachel emerged from the doorway, and she shot them both between the eyes, killing them instantly.
Rachel's eyes quickly scanned the area around her as the cops began yelling, and pointed their guns at her. She was glad their room was on ground level, and she wouldn't have to do anything extremely acrobatic, aside from the door. She also counted a total of ten officers, including the ones at the door, which meant the number of living officers was now eight, assuming the one that got kicked with the door survived.
Rachel dove to the right as she heard shots ring out, and grabbed the gun that the cop on the ground was no longer using. As soon as she was back on her feet, she took off into a run, and began using her inhuman abilities at this point. The cops were surprised at her speed, but didn't relent. To them, it was like trying to hit a really fast bird.
It also didn't help them that Rachel's eyes could see bullets. Although she couldn't necessarily dodge them all, it did help her to avoid certain bullets from striking her. Rachel raised the two guns in her hands, and fired two shots each from each gun, and two more officers fell to the ground, dead. Six more to go.
That was the other advantage Rachel had over the cops. Her shots were also inhumanly accurate, even when she was moving. She ducked behind a car to get to quickly reevaluate her situation and decide her next move. It was here that she sensed them closing in, except they weren't cops.
"Fuck." Rachel uttered under her breath. On the bright side, the vampires that were closing in seemed to be careless punks at best, since they had allowed her to sense them so easily, even while she was in the middle of a gunfight. On another bright note, they didn't seem to be accompanied by a Greater either. It still didn't change the fact that she would have to deal with the rest of the officers present before she could attend to the vampires.
Rachel jumped up and over the car that she was taking cover behind, deciding on a head on attack. She took two more quick shots at the officer who was still on the ground from when she kicked the door down. Five more to go. The remaining officers began firing shots at Rachel.
Although she did the best she could, two bullets were able to strike her as she closed in. One in her left shoulder just above the curve of her breast, and the other in her right mid abdomen. To the surprise of the cops, this hardly fazed her aside from small flinches and grunts of pain. Rachel had been shot several times before in the past, and the pain was nothing new to her.
She jumped in the air as she closed in, jumping over the cars that the cops had taken cover behind, and easily finished the five remaining cops without a scratch. Before the vampires could close in and attack, Rachel took the time to rummage through the weapons that the cops had, reloading her own pistol as she did so.
She tossed the pistol that the she acquired from the cop that she killed, and exchanged it for a nice shotgun in one of the police cars that no one had thought to bring out. She also found the ammunition in the car as well, and loaded it with a few shells. She also took one of the corpses and sank her fangs into the neck as her eyes changed to replenish the blood she had just lost.
It was while she was feeding that the vampires arrived in a black minivan, and four emerged from the vehicle.
Rachel smiled grimly, and decided to surprise them, and tossed the body she was holding at the car. The body hit the car with a loud thud as the vampires ducked out of the way, surprised, and turned to Rachel. They saw that the shotgun in her left hand was raised, and she fired it at them. The vampires dove for cover, and Rachel took the time to examine each of them now that they were in the open.
Two of them were armed with swords, while the other two were armed with firearms. Rachel kept the shotgun raised, the recoil having no effect on her, and she took another shot at one of the vampires, and missed again.
'Looks like they aren't complete amateurs.' Rachel thought to herself as she turned and saw one of the sword wielding vampires running at her, supposedly at a blind spot. The vampire raised his sword as he closed in, and Rachel turned and shot him with the shotgun at point blank range, sending him flying for several feet. 'Though they're still careless.'
Rachel tossed the shotgun aside, having used all of the shells she had loaded into it. Upon seeing this, the two vampires who were armed with pistols began firing shots at her. Rachel ran to the vampire that she had shot and in a cartwheel, picked up the sword that he had been wielding with her open hand. Once back on her feet, she returned fire at the two vampires, who ducked for cover. This allowed her to exchange the pistol and sword in her hands, since she was right handed.
She also noticed that the vampire that she had shot with the shotgun was still alive. Rachel found this surprising considering how much blood he had just lost, and finished the job by running over and removing his head with the sword as she was being shot at. Another bullet had struck her as she did this, high on her chest and near her neck.
She turned to return fire, only to notice the second sword wielding vampire closing in on her. She barely avoided the swing for her neck, and answered the next swing with the sword she was carrying, and the two weapons clashed. This was immediately followed by Rachel shooting the sword wielder in the knee cap with the pistol in her left hand, and the vampire fell to the ground, howling in pain.
Ignoring the vampire that was now on the ground, she turned her attention to the two remaining vampires, both of whom had a touch of fear in their eyes. Rachel smiled at their fear. "Thought it would be a walk in the park, did you?" She mockingly called out to the two vampires.
"Sorry, but I'm not so weak to allow a bunch of limp dick pansies such as yourselves to take me down." She finished grimly, raising her gun, and shooting at the two. She broke into a run as she shot at the two vampires, keeping them suppressed until she closed the distance. Since they had no edge weapons, neither of them could defend themselves from both the gun and the sword she was now wielding, and she disposed the two in short order, beheading them both.
