Svalin was stretched out on one of the large couches in the rec room of the main building and was trying hard to enjoy sitting still. Her feet and ankles had started to swell and her wife wasn't going to let her do much besides sit and put her feet up as much as she could. Svalin had tried to argue but it didn't get her anywhere except sitting on the couch with her feet up.

She sighed and looked at the television. To Kill a Mockingbird was on and Svalin was still waiting for the killing to start. Why was kill in the title if there was no killing in it? It didn't make much sense to her, but it was one of her wife's favorite movies and Svalin would watch it.

Svalin focused on the television and was surprised by the sudden kick. She gasped and reflexively put her hand on her stomach.

Sigurdur swats aside a chair and catches a table, but knows that Lady Vernique has the right of it. These humans lack the ability to defend themselves as he and she do.

As the hardiest person in the room, Sigurdur makes a decision.

"FOR ASGARD!" he yells, and charges the vampires closest to him, swinging massive fists and trying to batter down as many as possible while he can.

	Two vampires go down in the charge, others closing ranks, abandoning the civilians to try and wolfpack the Asgardian. Another staggers back under the stun, with a couple others rushing at her now that she doesn't have the Asgardian's direct protection. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sigurdur fights valiantly, but the numbers game is against him. They bite and claw at him, even as he punches his fist through the chest of one and tosses another away like a rag doll. He attempts to push them all away in one movement, looking for any opening he can take to give Vernique enough time to become smaller. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique stays flitting high near the ceiling, looking for the highest window she can dart out of. "I'm going to get help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Five of them, the oldest, turn into bats, following after Vernique as she heads for the window. The push forces the group back, flinging vampires about the room and giving Vernique a head start, but its not long before they're working on wolf-packing it, trying to surround and wear down the Asgardian.

	Sigurdur knows what's happening, but without a weapon to his name, he's going to lose to the numbers game in this battle. Still, he lashes out with a fist here and a foot there, trying to take as many down with him as possible. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At her smallest size, darting out of the window, Vernique really is like a bullet with butterfly wings. And she's aiming in the direction of Hal's studio lot. "SVALIN!" she screams. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thankfully Asgardian hearing is very good and the two heard the cry. "Brother, go to her aid," she /commanded/. "I wilt be behind thee." Hal had always been able to run faster than Svalin, more so now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He hesitates for only a moment. Leaving the heir when Dracula is about rankles him - but he's not going to disobey either. He climbs back to the roof, waiting for Vernique. "Thou'rt distressed. What troubles thee?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique gasps out enough to talk after travelling at her utmost top speed. "Vampires. Lots. Sig's totally outnumbered and we've got civilians." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She points. "Olive St. The restaurant with the broken windows and the bats flying out of it. I'll get Svalin back home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tired as he is, he's not about to turn down the fight. Halbjorn leaps off towards the address indicated, trusting his sister's wife to handle the evacuation and make sure Svalin didn't get in further trouble. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine," Vernique says as she gets bigger. "I left Sig surrounded and with civilians to worry about, though. Ambush." Vernique looks around at some of the nearby damage. "You, too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sigurdur is trapped in a ring of vampires, and bleeding from several cuts both light and deep. He was keeping them at bay for the moment, but the noose was tightening. "Come at me, then, cowards! How many more of thy number wilt I send to Hel before mine fall?" he snarls at the vampires. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I art fine. Let us go home." With that they headed home. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There was a sickening crack, then a squishing noise. As heads turn, Halbjorn is standing, with the head of one of the vampires in hand, a body lying next to him, axe in the other hand.

"Thou shalt not fall today." he growls out, tossing his axe towards Sigurdur - he can fight bare handed. "Arm thyself and fight to victory." he snarls, backhanding a couple vampires out of the way as he moves towards offering his back to Sigurdur.

	Sigurdur catches the axe and uses the momentum to cleave a nearby vampire in two. He was glad for Halbjorn's presence and felt a renewed wave on energy come over him. "Demons, your time ends now!" Sigurdur yells, lashing out with the axe again as he stands back-to-back with Hal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Normally, Halbjorn is terrible to try and stand back to back with, but right now, he's through the rage, and half-exhausted, fighting more out of training than fury. He takes his share of hits, fighting expertly, but sluggishly, but has a well deserved reputation for toughness, shrugging most off with little more than shallow rakes of claws, smashing down vampires who get too careless.

	Sigurdur fights with renewed vigor, doing his best to watch Hal's flank and his own so that they can't be piled upon. He still bleeds, but Sigurdur attempts to cut down another vampire who gets too close to him and kicks at another. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The Bloodaxe works wonderfully at cutting through Vampires.

Finding no openings, even if one Asgardian is bloodied, and the other is fighting exhausted, the vampires last only til three of their number are slain. With their target having disappeared, the eldest signals a retreat.

A couple turn to bats, a couple to mist, most just flee, abandoning the place as rapidly as their various powers allow them.

	Halbjorn manages to grab one, breaking its neck as they retreat, but otherwise is in no shape to pursue, just snarling after the retreating bloodsuckers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
