Edea didn't have to turn around to know that Cid was behind her. She readied another spell as Dracula stood, growling, and shielded herself and the children. She smelled powder a second before Cid's gunblade fired, and metal and fire both drove the vampire back as he tried to attack.
"Let me handle him," came a second voice, unfamiliar, and a whip cracked past her at Dracula. She looked out of the corner of her eye as a man leapt past her, dark hair streaming behind him.
Dracula smiled at Edea. "Looks as though we've been interrupted. Another time, my dear." He faded to mist and disappeared.
The dark-haired man gave chase, with Cid yelling after him, "You'll get him next time!" He turned and smiled at his wife as the children woke up around them.
