BACK IN THE FIELD, everyone gathered around to watch. There were constant cheering noises from all sides. Hunters and the Cossack knights moved off the field when the Alpha came forward. She had a deadpan look. I stood with no weapons, except my bare hands and...teeth.

The Alpha dressed in a long leather jacket that fell to her knees. A black mask partially covered her determined face. The crested assassin armor pads were fastened over her shoulders . They were meant to prevent the vampire bites I supposed.

"Useful gadget," I said, smiling thinly at her.

"There's more, princess," the grey-eyed huntress replied. She stood with her legs apart. Her hands possessed a shiny blade and a silver beaten wheel-lock pistol. I could tell the short gun was fully loaded with quicksilver bullets.

"Sister!" Vale's voice cried out. We both turned to her. "You can't use firearm in a hand-to-hand combat. It’s against the rule."

I could see Trotsky squinting his violet eyes at me. Krasnoff shrugged. Despite their lack of concern, I couldn't help but smile at the way Vale seemed oddly mindful of the fairness more than necessary.

"She has the speed of a darting arrow and the strength of ten wild boars. Why do you care about rules?" Her sister yelled back in exasperation. A look of condemnation shone from Malena's eyes. It seemed as if she could sense the reason behind her sister's interruption.

Knowing it was an irrefutable fact, Vale bit her lips. Her deep blue eyes drifted to mine. Then she looked away with a sigh. At that moment, my heart leaped, knowing she was worried about me.

"That's alright, daughter," Trotsky said, holding his hands up to quiet them. "It's just a demonstration and not an attempt to kill our Grand Duchess."

The square was no longer boisterous with anticipation. The quietness was far more deafening now. They kept looking on and holding their breath in the process. I saw Damir appear through the wall of crowd with a confused look.

"Hey, Mal!" he called out from the sideline. "Be careful with the new gun, it's quite powerful!"

"Of course, I know it is,” the Alpha scoffed. “And that's why I use it."

For a long moment, neither of us moved.

"You know you can't hurt a vampire by standing there," I said.

"Actually I can," she said and raised her pistol. Without another word, she pulled the trigger and fired at me. The silver tip of the bullet sliced through the air, but I sidestepped the shot and it went off to hit a tree behind me. The bullet made a hole there, and I could see quicksilver bleeding out. Turning back, I looked at the girl. She was not fooling around.

The huntress lunged into an attack. In a few graceful steps, she jumped into the air towards me and spun around. Her long leg extended and the heel of her combat boot could have split my skull open if I hadn't dodged the kick fast enough. The cries of her supporters echoed from the square down to the field.
