The whole time Martin had been throwing his little temper tantrum, I’d been getting ready, planning my attack.

I jabbed the sharp point of the pin straight into his handsome face, right into the meaty part of his cheek. Martin screamed and staggered back, slapping at his face like he’d been stung by a bee and was trying to get it off him. This time, the blood that gushed down his cheek was very, very real. The coppery stench of it made me smile.

For a moment, Vincent and the other three giants froze, mouths gaping in surprise, but I was already moving. The two giants holding on to me were so shocked that they loosened their grips, just a bit, and I took advantage, whirling around and throwing off their hands. I slipped my wrist out of the open handcuff, grabbed the attached chain, and wrapped it around the throat of the giant on my left. Then I wrenched the chain—and his head—to the side as hard and fast as I could.

The giant’s neck snapped with an audible crack, and he plummeted to the ground.

I dropped the chain and whipped back around to the second giant. He lurched away from me, but I slammed my foot into his ankle, making him trip and fall to the floor. His face smacked into the concrete, dazing him and making him groan. Before he could recover, I threw myself on top of him, shoved his head to the side, and buried my fangs in his neck.

He screamed, but I ignored his loud, frantic cries and punched my fangs even deeper into his throat. His thick, warm blood rushed into my mouth, and I swallowed it down, down, down. The giant’s strength zinged through my body like a lightning bolt, giving me a fresh surge of power and amping up my senses that much more.

My enhanced hearing easily let me pinpoint the rasp-rasp of two guns sliding free from their leather holsters.

I tore my fangs out of the giant’s throat, severing his carotid artery so that he would bleed out. Then I grabbed hold of his dying body, surged to my feet, hauled him upright, and held him out in front of me, using him as a shield.

Crack!

Crack! Crack!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Vincent and the third giant fired at me, but their bullets punched into their friend’s body instead of mine. I growled and ran forward, still holding on to the dead giant and pushing him in front of me like a battering ram. Vincent and the other man tried to scramble out of the way, but I plowed into them, and we all fell to the floor. The dead giant landed right on top of Vincent, knocking his gun out of his hand and momentarily pinning him to the ground. Vincent cursed and rolled around, trying to shove the dead man off him.

I scrambled back up onto my feet, and so did the third giant. His gun had landed on the floor between us, and we both lunged for it.
