Would you have the courage to drive a stake through a vampire's heart?

Say it’s for real…you have to go down that creepy, musty, clammy basement or an ancient dungeon, an old mausoleum or morgue…anywhere where the darkness inside hides a sleeping vampire and you need to destroy it within the hour before the sun sets.

Could you do it alone? With a friend? If you are enormously terrified, paralyzed by fear, is there anything that would compel you to go for it anyway?
