She ran across the bridge, taking cover at the other side while her eyes quickly scanned over the guards, making sure none showed any signs of hostility towards her. Then a gunshot rang out from behind and everyone dove to cover even before the scream reached them. She looked behind, seeing a vampire with a rifle, a vicious grin on its face. On the bridge, someone on the ground, bleeding. The vampire took its time to aim carefully, while the guards cursed and fired arrows, all missing. She looked the man in the eye, a smile now replacing the despair on his face. She froze, realising what that smile meant. As the vampire dodged an arrow that came a bit too close, the man pushed himself over the edge, falling into the rapid waters below.
