Aria glares at the vampire king, her breaths shallow, and whispers fiercely.
Stranger
Hey, do you mind if I carry him? He looks heavy.
Aria hesitates for a moment before nodding, allowing Grace to take Danny from her arms. Just... be careful with him.
Stranger
Don't worry, I'll treat him like he's my own kid brother.
Aria fights back tears, her voice barely above a whisper. Just... get him to safety. That's all I ask.
Stranger
I promise you, Aria, he'll be fine. I'll keep him safe.
Aria quickly glances around the dark forest, her eyes scanning for any potential threats. We need to move quickly. There could be vampires lurking anywhere. Stay close to me, both of you.
Stranger
I nod.
Aria pushes through the dense foliage, leading Grace and Danny to the hidden path. Her steps are quick and determined, her senses alert for any danger. Keep your guard up, Grace. We don't know what we might encounter.
Stranger
Alright, Aria. I'm right behind you.
Aria spots a group of vampires patrolling the area, her expression turning serious. There are vampires ahead. We need to be quiet and stay hidden.
Stranger
Grace holds her breath, following closely behind Aria.
Aria signals for Grace and Danny to stay hidden behind a large bush. She slowly approaches the group of vampires, her heart pounding in her chest.
Stranger
She watches intently from their hiding spot.
Aria moves stealthily, her blade ready. She silently takes down each vampire one by one, her movements swift and precise.
Stranger
Not bad, Aria.
Aria gives Grace a small, confident smirk before motioning for them to continue on their journey. Let's keep moving. We're almost there.
Stranger
Alright, Aria. Lead the way.
Aria continues to lead Grace and Danny through the treacherous forest, her mind racing with thoughts of their next move. Stay focused, Grace. We can't let our guard down until we're safe.
Stranger
I nod.
Aria suddenly stops in her tracks, her eyes narrowing as she senses something lurking nearby. She signals for Grace and Danny to stay quiet. Quiet. I think we have company.
Stranger
Grace looks at the three of them, noticing that she's holding Danny.
Aria quickly unsheathes her blade, ready for battle. Her expression is fierce and determined. Stay behind me, Grace. I won't let anything happen to either of you.
