Nora came back to herself in time to see Utz move away from her in a futile attempt of resistance.

He was much more determined to live than Drexel. As Utz backed up on the ground, he longed to mingle with the soiled plastic bags behind him and the molded cheese sticking out of a discarded sandwich wrapper. Christened with browning lettuce and a tangy mixture of mustard, ketchup and pickles, the sour vinegar smell was a welcome friend. Anything was, in fact, if it got him away from Nora and her irresistible draw.

Matanto stood by and laughed. He didn't care what happened to the vampires.

Live.

Die.

Whatever.

Either way, he couldn't care less. As long as he got their souls, black as they were, at the end of it all he was satisfied. Judging by the glazed look in Drexel's eye, he wouldn't have long to wait.

Nora lifted the bottle top out of her thigh and held it teasingly over Drexel. As the sweet smell of her blood reached him he tried to restrain himself.

"Mein Engel, oh that smells so fucking good," Drexel groaned helplessly. He closed his eyes and held his breath. He tried not to move; maybe he could resist if he didn't move a muscle and stayed very still.

But Nora knew better.

By this time, there was real fear in Utz' eyes. He had perched himself against a fire exit door at the back of a mom-and-pop shop. There was sweat on his brow and he kept shaking his head "no", as a look of horror glossed over his face.

Kaden and family charged forward but halted in place when Nora shouted "Stay back!" at them.

"But Nora," Kaden replied desperately as he watched the color drain out of her skin through the gaping hole in her leg. A pool of blood was forming beneath Drexel's prone body as he laid there panting.

Nora hollered once more. "Don't come any closer."

Before Kaden could protest any further, Nora used her fingers to prod the wound in her leg. She gathered blood in her palm and held it over Drexel, letting it drip slowly down her wrist and onto his face. She seduced him with it, whispering enticements into his ear, all the while rubbing her lifesource around his mouth and chin. "You know you want me, baby," she cooed. "Just one little taste, Drexel. Come on. Take a drink."

"Don't do it, Drex," Utz pleaded desperately from the street. "Don't. If you give in, I won't be able to stop myself. You'll kill me, too. I'm barely hanging on, man. Don't-"

But when Nora rubbed her blood down her neck and over her swollen breasts it was too much. Drexel couldn't stop himself as he plunged his sharp fangs into her carotid artery. Sweet euphoria swept threw him. He was high off his head as he moved closer to sink himself even deeper into Nora's flesh.

True to his word, Urz caved as well, swiftly leaping upon the gash on Nora's leg.

Horrified, Kaden began to lose it as he watched the two vampires tear his wife to shreds. Mesingw jumped upon him and wrapped his iron-clad arms around Kaden's body to hold him back. "Wait!" He commanded.

Kaden wouldn't listen to reason, though, and the two began to struggle. Distracted, they almost missed it when Nora fell over limply into the street. The vampires slumped over as well.

Nora's body was pale and her breathing was shallow. "Kaden," she whimpered.

Finally, the vampires had been sated, and Matanto smiled. He knew what was coming.

In seconds, a burning sensation began to grow within Drexel and Utz. They could feel the demons of hell possessing their body, overwhelming them from the inside out. Tearing the vampires apart, the demons shrieked in delight. Drexel and Utz twisted in agony on the ground until they were no more than a black stain left behind on the street in a dirty alleyway.
