Vamps in A Sentence

    1

    He's the head of the vamps.

    2

    They waited for Xander to return with the three vamps trailing him.

    3

    The kid was hard to read, and she guessed his anger had more to do with his struggle to understand his new role than the vamps who clearly had no respect for him.

    4

    She drew the gun at the small of her back and aimed it at the head of one of the vamps.

    5

    One of the other vamps drew a weapon.

    6

    To her surprise, Xander stepped between her and the two pissed-off vamps waiting for her.

    7

    Xander motioned the two vamps away.

    8

    Xander drew his weapons and crossed to the two vamps, chopping them down.

    9

    She'd met enough Guardians and vamps to know how unique each was, but she'd never met a creature like this one.

    10

    Two more vamps assigned as Jonny's guards stood on either side of the door to his personal chambers.

    11

    Itching to relieve some of her own nervous energy after the run-in with the vamps, she'd reached the door when Jonny spoke again.

    12

    My own vamps won't do that.

    13

    The number of female vamps outnumbered the number of female Guardians, and she ducked into the locker room for the females.

    14

    Vamps weren't known for their smarts.

    15

    Jenn trotted through the halls, hopping over dead vamps as she went.

    16

    None of the vamps she'd seen yet were alive.

    17

    The lights were on in here, and Jonny's form lay in the center of about a hundred dead vamps.

    18

    His gaze took in the dead vamps.

    19

    Somewhere safe above ground, with vamps who are loyal?

    20

    She snapped into motion, but he deflected her next strike as easily as he had those of the vamps he killed.

    21

    Vamps growled as she passed them but made no move to impede her.

    22

    Vamps moved out of his way as he strode through the halls, and several bowed their heads as he passed.

    23

    She knew what vamps were and what they did; it was why she hated them.

    24

    Jule trailed, forcing himself to ignore the tingle of vamps that made him itch to reach for his weapons.

    25

    Being surrounded by vamps all day and night made her crazy with the need to kill a few.

    26

    Jonny had begun disappearing in the evenings with most of the vamps, and she knew he was out hunting humans.

    27

    She waited until the vamps were gone before going to the gym, not wanting to tempt any of them to attack her while she was half-naked and distracted.

    28

    Something was really wrong in Europe, and he needed to figure out what, before the European front was overrun by vamps.

    29

    You mean, like an influx of vamps to Tucson?

    30

    To get ahead of the vamps … Rainy shook his head.

    31

    He sliced through two vamps before shooting the other two in the small courtyard.

    32

    Jake shot off a burst of rounds as several vamps raced across the courtyard, their red eyes glowing and growls loud.

    33

    He ducked into a doorway while Damian shot two more vamps and reappeared, the blueprints on the screen.

    34

    Jilian and a few other vamps were down the hall and turned as the stone wall caved.

    35

    Jilian met Damian's sword with his own, barking orders to his vamps.

    36

    The vamps we've captured for interrogation have a new technique.

    37

    Who else can you tell about your husband beheading five vamps?

    38

    The men spoke among themselves, swapping war stories and discussing the Tucson Sector's influx of vamps.

    39

    Dead vamps lined the driveway.

    40

    At least one of Damian's Guardians lay slain among the scores of vamps.

    41

    Sofia swallowed hard at the sight of so many vamps milling around.

    42

    The other vamps didn't so much as acknowledge her as she stepped from the car.

    43

    Her apprehension grew as the vamp led her down a maze of hallways through scores of other vamps and past multiple doorways.

    44

    His vamps scampered out of the command center to obey.

    45

    Two lifted her and carried her into a hallway teeming with vamps.

    46

    He emerged into a busier hall and waited for her, taking her arm and leading her through the vamps.

    47

    The vamps are heading this way.

    48

    She twisted her head to see the jumbled outlines of the small army of vamps running toward them from the direction of the burning mountain.

    49

    He'd taken a few different vamps to his bed the past few days.

    50

    The vamps followed her only to the door.

    51

    One of their brothers, Jule, had told them quietly where Jenn was after a trip to visit one of the vamps holed up with the Black God.

    52

    As much as he wanted to kill a few vamps, he wasn't here for that.

    53

    Being surrounded by vamps all day makes you jumpy.

    54

    They obeyed faster than they ever would a command from the Black God, who still struggled to control his vamps.

    55

    She'd seen him trying to train the Black God a couple of times but never in the ring with any of the vamps.

    56

    Damian had assigned her here to help Jonny root out the vamps who were working with Others in the Black God's ranks.

    57

    She pulled it on then left her room, trailed by her vamps.

    58

    He shoved his way through the vamps and joined her.

    59

    You may want to send a few vamps out that way.

    60

    Rather than risk Traveling to the center of the phenomenon, Jenn ran down the driveway the vamps had cleared of snow to the narrow country road leading up the mountain to the Black God's hideout.

    61

    She watched vamps go in and out of the fortress.

    62

    Darian asked, taking in the vamps outside the doorway of the Black God's fortress.

    63

    The vamps only try shit when Jonny and Xander aren't around.

    64

    When she entered, Darian stood in the middle of the foyer, surveying the vamps staring at him like the god he was.

    65

    The young god seemed in a good humor, though his gaze flickered nervously to the vamps awaiting him.

    66

    I just … let me get the blood off before the vamps start circling.

    67

    She'd be lucky to get any sleep with the vamps hovering over her and before facing one god no longer under her influence and another with a wild streak that might get them all killed.

    68

    She needed a little sleep while the vamps were out hunting.

    69

    It was too early for the vamps to be up.

    70

    You turn vamps into humans, and I kill Others.

    71

    I'm losing vamps right and left to them.

    72

    Instead, they track and kill my vamps.

    73

    In exchange, you no longer influence the vamps you create.

    74

    His army is made up of vamps.

    75

    Maybe the teen god was figuring things out on his own, after the godslayer floundered for months with the responsibilities that came with leading his army of vamps.

    76

    With so few remaining from his time, Xander was usually pleased to see the man responsible for killing any vamps Xander created.

    77

    Though your choice of handing off the vamps to the Black God seems nearsighted.

    78

    I didn't turn over the vamps to the Black God.

    79

    Normal vamps didn't need to feed daily, but he did.

    80

    We're not vamps, like Xander.

    81

    Yes. Xander could turn you into a vamp and you would then serve Jonny, who controls the vamps.

    82

    Damian controls the Guardians and Jonny the vamps.

    83

    He's the leader of the vamps for a reason.

    84

    Jonny was a good kid who had to go bad in order to control the vamps at his disposal and counter the White God's influence.

    85

    No. Just bleeds them dry or vamps them.

    86

    I didn't understand it until much later that she wanted to destroy the immortal world and use my vamps to do it.

    87

    I created an army of vamps Eden used to overthrow her enemies while I overthrew mine.

    88

    He creates the parasites that are vamps, which then kill humans.

    89

    Ashley stood a short distance away, between two vamps.

    90

    Behind the teen were too many vamps for Jessi to count.

    91

    Jule had put them ten meters from the strange scene, to the side of Jonny's vamps.

    92

    The nearest vamps bowed their heads and moved away from him.

    93

    Most of my vamps are underground.

    94

    I've positioned enough Others around the underground facilities we found to wipe out his vamps overnight.

    95

    I may not control them, but I maintain power over my kind, the way you do over the vamps.

    96

    We caught some of his vamps tracking Czerno's vamps more than once, and we've caught them in firefights, too.

    97

    Damian gets Guardians, and Czerno gets vamps.

    98

    Darian watched the confused Grey God leave, never imagining he'd deal daily with this type of drama in addition to managing the battles against the vamps in the western hemisphere.

    99

    After the trip to the hospital, he'd drop her off for the Oracle to deal with and go back to work, where maybe he could shake his sense of doom by killing some vamps.

    100

    He sensed the incoming vamps before the elevator door opened.

    101

    He watched her until she exited then remained in place long enough that he knew the vamps could pinpoint where he was.

    102

    He exited through a different route, one that took him across a courtyard large enough for the vamps to see him as he crossed it, and between two buildings.

    103

    He turned, irritated to see Bianca held by the neck by one of Talon's vamps.

    104

    The two vamps behind the first went down with one shot each, and he grunted as the others racing down the opposite side of the alley managed to plant two rounds in him before he blasted all of them to hell.

    105

    Pissed that his morning hadn't gone as planned, he strode forward and put another bullet in the heads of each of the vamps to ensure they weren't returned to life by their brethren.

    106

    Most vamps do and are drawn in by the bad guys.

    107

    Amassing thousands of vamps in the same place wasn't a good sign.

    108

    If he had a full night, he'd spend it killing vamps until too tired to pull the trigger.

    109

    If they were successful in turning a normal pig into a vamp-pig, and that vamp-pig could in turn bite say, a human or another animal, and transfer the vamp bug, then you've potentially got a new tool you can use to transform the human population into vamps.

    110

    You mean cats and dogs could be used to turn their masters into vamps?

    111

    If it worked-- and I don't know if it did-- you'd see something like the black plague in Europe, only it wouldn't kill people, just turn them into vamps, Iggy said.

    112

    And then he thought of how he'd felt when he thought the vamps took her from his condo.

    113

    It was teeming with vamps, and he'd set up several Guardians around the country club to conduct surveillance on the vamps' activities.

    114

    He loved clean-up duty, the mass execution of vamps.

    115

    He had no pity for those who chose to become vamps.

    116

    They're vamps but they haven't completed initiation.

    117

    Czerno, not Talon, sent the vamps to your condo building for Bianca.

    118

    Yet she knew when his fury unleashed, he'd be as merciless as Dusty was with vamps.

    119

    Dusty, there are more vamps than we expected.

    120

    His skin and senses crawled with the sensations of being surrounded by vamps.

    121

    The Black God strode through the quiet buildings until he reached a long hallway overlooking a courtyard packed with hundreds of vamps and several bonfires.

    122

    Instead, she pushed open a door leading to a small balcony overlooking what would've been a large garden, prior to the vamps arrival.

    123

    The first story of the building was overflowing with vamps.

    124

    She wondered what Czerno planned on doing, until she saw him stride out of the building towards the center of the vamps.

    125

    Dusty studied the scenes on the screens of his command center, agitated by the weather hindering their ability to deal with Talon's vamps.

    126

    Radar and thermal image coverage was decent, indicating the vamps were mainly gathered in one spot.

    127

    His senses thrummed with presence of so many vamps.

    128

    He sensed Darian and Czerno distinctly, the level of power the gods possessed distinguishable despite the massive presence of vamps.

    129

    He moved through the building towards Darian, finding him on the ground floor away from the vamps.

    130

    Bianca hung back from both, kept in place by two vamps on either side of her.

    131

    The vamps around Bianca whirled, and he raised the hand cannons, blasting all four before they reached the door.

    132

    They appeared in the conference hall, whose seats were filling with vamps eager to see Talon's show.

    133

    He needed to draw this out as long as possible, so Jimmy's explosions took out Talon and all the vamps if he couldn't.

    134

    Lightning tore across the otherwise silent room, where vamps stood enraptured by the battle before them.

    135

    Lightning split the ceiling with a boom, frying several vamps in the crowd.

    136

    Some vamps raced out of the hall while others crowded around them, the Black God forgotten.

    137

    Vamps, chairs, the floor-- all disintegrated at its touch.

    138

    The vamps moved as if in slow motion.

    139

    He gazed at the distant blaze, the scent of burning vamps carried on a wind along with the rain.

    140

    A tall form stood halfway between the fire and them, flanked by two vamps.

    141

    He motioned the vamps away.

    142

    His gaze caught the movement of a few vamps that had escaped gathering around the edges of the fire.

    143

    The Black God's vamps haven't lost theirs, Damian said.

    144

    A team of Guardians lined one road on the small country cemetery while a team of vamps lined the opposite road.

    145

    Worse, the vamps and Black God seemed unaffected as well.

    146

    He slapped the White God on the arm and moved towards the two figures, holding his arms out to the side of his body to keep the vamps across the cemetery from blasting him.

    147

    He gave a nod of greeting, then spun on his heel and strode towards the awaiting vamps.

    148

    Without their powers, the Guardians were vulnerable against the Black God's vamps.

    149

    His philosophy seemed to be to throw as many vamps at an issue as he could.

    150

    Upon arriving at the Black God's compound two days ago, Jenn had quickly learned the Black God had little control over his own powers and no respect from the vamps he led.

    151

    The room full of vamps was ready to pounce on the fledgling god.

    152

    His brutal strength and otherworldly agility made the futile attempts of the vamps look like they were swatting flies instead of fighting for their lives.

    153

    A quick exploration of his apartments showed two more dead vamps but no Black God.

    154

    She was learning as much about the Black God's organization as she could, from numbers of vamps to locations of their compounds to the Black God's own skills.

    155

    Jonny had given orders that no one touched her, but she'd seen firsthand how well the vamps followed the Black God's directives.

    156

    The Black God had mumbled an apology before leaving her alone to join the vamps on a hunt.

    157

    He manipulated the Black God like a puppet and quietly ran the vamps Jonny wasn't yet capable of managing.

    158

    Damian sat in his office before the computer, glancing between the instant messaging boxes popping up on one computer screen and the geospatial depiction of the past hundred years' worth of battles between his Guardians and the Black God's vamps on another screen.

    159

    It was slowly being decimated and fragmented by Czerno's blood-sucking vamps.

    160

    To get ahead of the vamps … Rainy shook his head.

    161

    Vamps jammed both directions of the hall, and Damian sensed Czerno making a beeline for the room behind the wall in front of them.

    162

    The local intelligence collection team is having a problem tracking his vamps.

    163

    Their job is to kill the vamps and any other of Czerno's creatures while minimizing collateral damage.

    164

    He and his vamps had fought half the night and created the battlefield full of destruction before the dozen Guardians assigned to the safe house were overwhelmed.

    165

    Czerno knew he was coming here and had a small army of vamps.

    166

    That won't defeat vamps.

    167

    And you will have a sword notched to the hilt by the number of vamps you killed.

    168

    The young man moved away and began fighting invisible vamps while Darian watched with a grin.

    169

    A small team of four vamps approached the window and stopped at the edge of where the carpet from the hallway met the tile of the foyer.

    170

    At this rate, what Xander - the forefather of all vamps - told her wouldn't matter.

    171

    The thought of killing vamps made his adrenaline pick up and his magic wriggle free from the tight grip he had on it.

    172

    The three vamps were spread out around the foyer and trailed her like bloodsucking puppies as she moved down the hallway.

    173

    Those vamps she passed hissed at her.

    174

    Most of the vamps were late to wake in the mornings, the effect of their nocturnal lifestyle.

    175

    One of the vamps had left her another deer head at the bottom.

    176

    Xander, the Original Vamp, stood over seven feet tall and was built like a boulder with dark hair and the glowing, red eyes characteristic of vamps.

    177

    No vamps awaited her there.

    178

    Vamps would be able to pick them off as easily as they did humans.

    179

    Maybe the vamps hadn't taught him that yet.

    180

    The chances of the vamps sniffing around like the animals they were and digging the body up were too high.

    181

    She snagged an axe and went to the forest, trailed by vamps that had drawn closer at the scent of blood.

    182

    It was the bullet of a Guardian, for only carbon fiber bullets would kill the vamps in the mortal world.

    183

    The commotion in the forest drew Jenn and those vamps near her towards it.

    184

    Vamps poured out of the fortress into the snow, stopping to puzzle over the brilliant purple lights lancing across the treeline.

    185

    Her gaze fell first to the vamps Jonny must've sent who made the mistake she'd avoided.

    186

    Jenn eased back, not about to draw the creature's attention, not for the sake of a few stupid vamps.

    187

    She had knives and the guns with carbon fiber bullets that she used to kill vamps.

    188

    Jenn, I can't interrogate or spy on every one of my vamps!

    189

    She stripped down to her underwear and changed into warm clothing, not caring what the vamps saw so long as Jonny wasn't around to get any ideas.

    190

    The vamps were jittery enough, with the foyer teeming with young vampires who seemed both eager to do something about the excitement and uncertain what.

    191

    Try to keep Jonny focused on his vamps and not on dragging me to his bed.

    192

    Jenn crossed her arms, irritated that the vamps had opened her windows, too, as if to make her room more uncomfortable for her.

    193

    Too afraid to take more than a quick rinse-off with the vamps around, she even bathed within reach of a knife or two.

    194

    We can stay there, so we can sleep away from the vamps and take a decent shower," he offered then added quickly, "Separately. We can shower separately.

    195

    He'd been fascinated by the amount of technology Dusty and Jenn used to track vamps in Miami.

    196

    After a short exchange, Jonny walked away, joining the vamps.

    197

    Not caring how many vamps might be in the gym, she entered and took up her favorite spot and began channeling her emotions into the punching bag.

    198

    I just … let me get the blood off before the vamps start circling.

    199

    He did look beat, though still wary of the vamps lingering in the shadows of the great room.

    200

    The waiting Guardian paced, eyeing the vamps that had gathered around to glare at him.

    201

    It wasn't the cold power of the vamps and Jonny but the warmer magic of a Guardian.

    202

    Blood from whatever the vamps had put in it already pooled on the floor.

    203

    Every inch of this city is crawling with vamps.

    204

    It'll be another tool for Damian to use against the vamps.

    205

    Vamps awaited her in the foyer.

    206

    A glance towards Darian showed his intense gaze on her, not the vamps surrounding them.

    207

    How do I fight an enemy I can't see until it's wiped out a few dozen of my vamps?

    208

    He glanced at his vamps, several of which had moved closer while pretending not to listen.

    209

    One that will see my vamps protected and the worlds both survive.

    210

    Or I'll unleash my vamps on your precious Guardians.

    211

    She'd have trouble defending herself in his mansion without the sixth sense that helped her track the vamps prowling around her.

    212

    It was too early for the vamps to be in the gym, so she stripped down to her undershirt without changing into her sparring gear and began pounding into the dummy in front of her.

    213

    She took a long shower this time, not caring if the vamps got her.

    214

    The look was enough for the forefather of all vamps to start towards them.

    215

    His vamps started stalking our Guardians this morning, and I lifted the ceasefire mandate.

    216

    He didn't turn them into vamps or kill them; he had an agreement with the local Guardians – charged with protecting humans from vampires like him – that he'd let them go.

    217

    He only made it through the first few months because Xander stepped between the fledgling god and the vamps that wanted to kill their new master.

    218

    The Guardians had no reason to trust the forefather of all vamps.

    219

    We're the Guardians charged with standing between vamps like Xander and humans he preys on, Jule started.

    220

    He's the only one who can create a vampire just by a blood exchange, instead of the normal rite new vamps go through.

    221

    If she wants me off the planet I'll see if NASA's ever thought about using vamps for long term exploration missions.

    222

    Then again I'd never seen any other vamps dumb enough to be slogging up bleeding huge mountains.

    223

    Must be the home of the oldest vamps too.

    224

    If she wants me off the planet I'll see if NASA 's ever thought about using vamps for long term exploration missions.

    225

    Then again I 'd never seen any other vamps dumb enough to be slogging up bleeding huge mountains.

    226

    The new line is called Voluptuous Vamps.

    227

    Have fun with this shoe; it's unexpected and easily vamps up your basic nautical outfit.

    228

    Bill stakes his claim on Sookie in front of the other vamps.

    229

    Rednecks burn down a house where the trio of vamps from Bill's were staying.

    230

    We're supposed to lay low and avoid vamps.

    231

    I've heard rumors among my vamps of the Others walking among them.

    232

    Four of the five vamps he'd chosen as bodyguards were exchanging looks of derision behind his back, and the vamp he tried to interrogate was openly ridiculing him.

    233

    Jenn said nothing, aware the vamps in the interrogation room were listening.
