But all she'd done was paint a target on her back. This medical conference is a big place with lots of halls set aside for different lectures and meetings, but there are still spaces where a person can find themselves isolated. Since this set of mens' and womens' restrooms aren't the only on this floor, Christine finds herself alone in the hallway as she exits, already pulling a bottle of hand sanitizer from her pocket since she had to pull the door open to exit and that thing must be crawling with germs. Before she can flip back the lid, a set of arms close down firmly around her midsection, locking her elbows to her side.
"Don't scream, Sunshine, or I'll make you regret it." a voice whispers in her ear. Which, frankly, screw that. ]
Get off me!
[ Christine struggles against the grip, wriggling and jerking her body, as the man merely sighs like she's an inconvenience. "You're coming with me so we can figure out how to get that damn magic back out of you." Oh, well damn. Christine feels like a moron for letting her guard down like this. Of course they'd come for her eventually. And of course he's holding down her arms so she can't use that damn magic on him. So instead she slams her head back against his several times, trying to stun him. It doesn't really seem to have an effect. Should she be surprised that a vampire is super resilient? ]
Let me go!
[ "I'll bite you if you don't shut up, princess!" Well, if her choices are between being bitten and taken to an undisclosed location for God knows what, she'll take her chances with the former. He has to manage to clamp down on her first, and she isn't making it easy by flailing her entire body as thoroughly as she can while shouting. ]
