I spun around to give orders to Nikki and Parker, but Doc had already grabbed them and the three of them were disappearing. I know Nikki didn't trust Doc and Parker was new to all of this, but I knew they would be safe with him.
The Priest ran from near the door and Serge's goons towards the couch that was in front of me. He leapt over the couch and knocked me down; I looked up and saw a ball of fire passing through where I had been standing. I quickly looked back as saw Ashe and Draco coming in through the now broken front window. "Seven, follow me when I run." The Priest said with a hand on my shoulder. "I am not running from these goons. I've already beaten Serge, I can do it again." I looked over the couch and Serge, Oslo, and Lily. "Do not act rashly. They have superior numbers and better positioning; we are at a tactical disadvantage." "I am not going to just get up and run from a fight like this." "Now is not the time to argue amongst yourselves. Now is the time to die." Serge shouted at us. Just then I saw Vlad come leaping at us from the hallway The Priest wanted to run down. He hadn't come in with either of the other two groups and I didn't notice it. He flew through the air at us, mouth open, fangs bared. The Priest shoved me over and rolled towards where Vlad was going to land. "Filthy, bloodsucking vermin." He muttered as he stood up and locked his arms around Vlad's waist. He rammed his shoulder into Vlad's stomach and tightened his arms around him. Vlad was smashing his fists and forearms down on The Priest's back with little to no effect. He was running towards a wall with Vlad when Ashe threw a fireball at them both. It caught The Priest in the center of his back and staggered him, but didn't knock him down. He kept up his hold on Vlad while his shirt burned off of his back. I kicked over the coffee table and broke off two of it's legs to use as makeshift stakes and ran towards The Priest. By the time I reached them his shirt was completely burned away and his back was slightly blackened. I jumped and grabbed Vlad by the neck, pulling both him and The Priest down as the next fireball passed over. The Priest let go of him as they fell, but remained on top of him, pinning him to the floor. I raised one of the table legs above my head and slammed it into Vlad's chest. It went in but barely. He grabbed that one and threw it across the room. I took the other one and aimed for the same spot. When I brought it down he twisted and I missed the spot, but it went in further. The Priest looked up at where the stake was imbedded in Vlad and reached for it. When he was able to wrap his hand around it he didn't pull it out; he brought his hand back and slammed it into the top of it. I heard things pop and crunch as it went in ever farther. Suddenly Vlad stopped struggling against us and just lay there staring at the ceiling. I crawled away from him and The Priest let go of him and the stake. As we both started crawling away he bucked against the ground and his back bowed raising him off the ground just slightly. I'm not entirely sure what happened but a white light began to glow from around the stake and blinded me. When I could see again everything that was there was gone except for Vlad's jacket. The Priest picked up the jacket and put it on as he stood up. I stood up next to him and we nodded at each other. "One down, who's next?"
