The low whine of each Gatling gun faded as the bodies of fallen vampires filled the hallway. Nikolai froze while watching the beautiful scene. "Well, I guess we weren't needed." He mumbled before spreading his senses out further.
'There's no more on the eastern side?'
He could sense the aura and state of hundreds of people, but none of them held an aggressive or negative feeling towards him like the Sanguis or Vespera attackers.
"I think we should head to the west wing, Leona."
"Are you sure?" She looked around, waving her right hand as the maids fanned out, vaulting over the short walls and counters to take point. "What if there are more enemies hidden somewhere inside?"

Suddenly, her right ear buzzed, and she tapped the communication device.
"Captain Leona speaking." Her face became sharp for a moment before a gasp, and then Nikolai watched her cheeks become red and her face brighten. "Understood!" She met Nikolai's gaze and smiled at him. "We'll be right there."
