Alyssa knew that she had to fight her way out, but she didn't have a weapon. She shoved her hand into the pocket of her coat, her fingers curling around a ballpoint pen.
She clicked out the tip before whirling around and stabbing the vampire in the eye.
The vampire cried out in pain, clawing at his bleeding eye as he stumbled away from her.
Alyssa threw open the door and ran into the hallway, nearly knocking Sam over. She panted from the adrenaline thundering through her.
"Get security," she told him, not wanting the vampire to try to kill her again. She didn't know if security could do much, but they could at least buy her some time.
Sam scrambled away, sprinting down the hall to find a guard.
Alyssa backed away from the room, feeling her heart pound heavily in her chest. She managed to escape with her life this time, but what about next time or the next?
