Much to Varvara's satisfaction, the bullet ripped through Irina.
Good. The scent of her blood in the cool night air was invigorating. Varavara was not a vampire, but she'd be lying if she said she did not enjoy the coppery taste of a victim's blood on her lips, and oh, was Irina's blood sweet. She wanted to run her fingers through it and smear it against her face.
but, rather than stagger like she'd expected....
Irina lunged at her.
Varvara took a few steps back but it didn't matter: Irina crashed into her, her nails clawing at her shoulders through her thin blouse, and Varvara felt irina's rage coursing through her.
It strengthened her and weakened her at the same time.
"Pesky little thing, aren't you?" Varvara said, spitting out her own hair from her mouth. She tried to disentangle herself so she could prepare another shot in the revolver. Varavara suspected she might have broken a heel.
She picked up her shoe and moved to hit Irina across the face with it.
"Little Shlyuhka," she spat. She needed another moment to untangle herself so she could bolt once more. Blood dripped down her chest and stained her blouse. Some of it was Irina's, but most of it was her own.
