Juniper's mind was still on the 'boy' vampire that just escaped, and to why exactly he did not attack her since she was obviously part of the hunter's group. Somehow.
Though her mind did not wander for long. She had been standing in the doorway of the cavern for too long it seemed since she felt a strong grip takes hold of her arm. A man, no mere child this time, pulled her towards him to use as a shield. Fear took a hold of her, but not for long.
Before she could even fully comprehend what had happened, the same man that was the cause of her presence here, Donnel, had decapitated the new menace with one mighty swing of his ax. Not at all bothered by the bloodied cadaver now falling on the ground right beside the girl, he extended a hand to her.
In doing so, the hunter slightly bent forward allowing Juniper to catch a glimpse of what was behind him. Another vampire seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, but Juniper saw it grab a weapon on the ground and aim it at the hunter. Surprised at her own quickness of mind, she shouted as she pushed the man aside.
"Watch out!"
However, her physical strength was not up to this task, but it had been just enough to make the pitchfork miss it's main target and hit a less vital part of the hunter's body. Blood spattered on Juniper, the thrown weapon only inches from her face.
The girl fell backward, immediately looking around in panic. The vampire did not remain still - he was now advancing towards the pair at a rapid pace. She saw a dagger hanging from the belt of the vampire who had seized her moments ago, and she grabbed it. Standing back up, holding it with both hands, she pointed it towards the still 'living' enemy.
She was shaking. The puny dagger trembling in her hands. To top it all off, a harrowing screech was heard coming from the cavern's belly. No good could come of that, but the present ordeal was too much to allow her mind to wander as to what could have caused it.
