Paralyzes vampire in fear

D got to his feet without saying a word.
Just as he was about to launch himself at the Hunter, the intruder
stiffened. His already pale face lost even more color. D’s aura had just hit
him. If I move, I’m as good as dead, he thought.
“Any more of your kind around? Before you answer that, you’d better
tell me your name,” D commanded him softly. Calm as his voice was, it had
a ring of steel to it that said no resistance would be tolerated. “Answer me.
What’s your name? Are you the only one?”

“No, I’m not . . . ” the intruder replied.
“How many others are there?”
“One.”
“What’s your name, and what’s theirs?”

The intruder began to tremble. Every inch of him shook, as if he were
struggling against the threat that ensnared him.
