Vampire Brute Squad: James & Open
Victoria was counted among the vampires that encircled James but stood in more of an inner circle. She didn't care for physical altercations but this was different. This wasn't a group of idiots just gnashing their teeth and throwing fists. And there were reasons for her to be out there. She was protecting people she cared about. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't a little afraid, but Victoria mostly knew how to keep her cool a lot of the time.
The fight began and Victoria did what she could. She had no grand skill in fighting or brawling, but she could scratch and the times she went hunting didn't leave her quite so helpless. She tried to be more graceful about it than others who were happy to bite and claw. Unfortunately, the fighting did not allow her to keep a close eye on others as much.
When she did spin to do a check on James she saw the creature coming at him. Racing forward to stop it, someone else got there before her.
Ben.
The initial thought she had was questioning why Ben was there at all. Why so close to James? Hadn't she told him to stay away fro him? To stay away from all vampires? But in the end, he'd helped James and Victoria arrived to look over her boyfriend. At some point she'd thank him for his help but would keep a closer eye on him.
"Are you okay?" she asked, touching over James's cheek and then chest to look for injury. Victoria spared a brief glance at Ben before returning her attention to the person she was most concerned about.
