And it's absurd. On some distant level, she's aware that running from vampires is just… inherently ridiculous. You can't run from them, because by the time you've gone two steps, they've caught you eight times over. Hell, you don't even make it two steps. You just wake up by a carthaginian campfire surrounded by them, because one of them put the Breath on you before you even knew they were there. That's how vampires catch you.
And yet here she is, bolting down a hallway, knowing it's futile and ten different kinds of stupid and unable to stop herself, because even if her fight is more effective, flight is far, far more appealing.
"Shit!" she hisses when the hallway abruptly ends in a door. She jiggles the handle - it's locked - then growls a word under her breath. There's a begrudging click from the lock, and Sunshine wrenches the door open and stumbles through, slamming it shut behind her.
