Choices

You have chosen to try and attack the vampire.

Quickly, you raise your fist towards the vampire's face but he is expecting it and slowly crushes your fist - seems you haven't learnt too much about the strength of a vampire. He launches his fangs towards your neck as you feebly try to move out of his grasp. He manages to grab you, but the adrenaline that is now coursing through your body acts quickly and you poke your fingers into his eyes and duck under his arm that swipes out to reach you. The vampire staggers backwards clawing at his eyes then quickly disappears from your vision. You let out a short breath of relief as you glance around the room then let Derek know the vampire has left and you need to go quickly before any more arrive. 

Derek seems to ignore what you are saying as his eyes become as big as saucers and he nods silently in the direction of the door behind you. You throw a questioning glance towards Derek when suddenly, pain erupts from your neck as fangs pierce your skin blood starts to slowly drain from your system; your eyes dart around for Derek but you notice he is nowhere to be seen - has he left you? Your eyes become heavy and they begin to droop as you kick your legs violently in hopes to escape but you know you are running low on hope, hope that you know is buried deep within you, that you know you need to find... but you fear you cannot. You notice a piece of wood shaped like a stake next to you on the ground but fear you will be unable to reach it as your breathing begins to get shallower and the very force that holds your life together begins to fade away...everything begins to go dark...but wait! You can't give up now, you have not yet reached the Arcadian Lands which promise you safety! 

So, what do you do?
