'It seemed to rain harder then before, that night...'

Humans are hard to come by lately. I would like to blame someone or something for it, but I know that this is our fault. We made the humans feel and go into hiding. The bigger our race grew, the more cautious became the humans. They started carrying weapons, secure their houses tightly with steel bars infront of the windows and doors, putting up surveilance camera's. Some of us simply died from starvation. I thought the situation was bad then, that it couldn't get any worse...

God, was I wrong.

Now that we can walk outside during the day, being immune to sunlight... Soon there will be no humans left to feed on. The only humans we see lately are everything but pathetic and weak. The hunters. They slay one vampire after another. Our ranks are decreasing more and more with each passing day. It will only be a matter of time before the vampires are extinct. Me included...

A sudden rustling interrupted her thoughts. She opened her ice blue eyes and just listened, staying absolutely still until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She grabbed the hand and threw the person who it belonged too over her shoulder, making him or her land on an old couch that was standing against the wall. She sat ontop of the man or woman, one leg on each side and pressed the barrle of a silver handgun against his or her head, hissing violently. The person underneath her raised his hands in defense.

''Relax! It's me!''

She calmed down a little and moved her gun away form the persons head, seeing a pair of brown eyes look up at her in shock. She gave an annoyed hiss and got off, standing next to the couch, her gun holstered in the back of her jeans.

''God damn it, Damien! You have a death wish or something!?''

She looked down at a guy around 20, 21 years of age. He usually had dark brown spiky hair but because of the rain it was now flat. He was wearing a simple black tank top, baggy black pants with a chain or two hanging from them and a long trench coat. He was drenched, the water dripping from his clothes onto the floor.

''No, but if you keep doing that I might die from a fucking heart attack!''

''Good, then I don't have to waste any bullets on you.''

Damien arched an eyebrow and sat up slowly. She had turned around and walked to a window, just to stand infront of it and stare outside at the empty street, listening to the rain hitting the ground and the glass of the window.

''Okay if I keep you company?''

Damien stood up and took his wet trench coat off.

''What? Afraid you're gonna catch a cold?''

Her voice was taunting. Damien only shrugged and hung his coat over a chair to let it dry.

''No, but I don't really like having to walk around in the rain. And judging by the fact you're seeking shelter in here shows that you don't either, Sereniti.''

She didn't reply to that. Damien sat down on the couch again and watched her. She was an intimidatin gperson to look at, and the way she acted. Wearing a black, kinda tight, tank top, black jeans with several chains hanging from them, black high heels and a long leather trench coat that nearly touched the ground, with waist long brown hair with the tips and a strand that covered her right eye dyed bright red to finish it off.

''Stop looking at me.''

Damien turned his head away quickly. He glanced at Sereniti from the corner of his eyes, looking at her reflection in the window. He thought he saw a single tear fall from her eyes, but it could easily be a raindrop on the window. He stopped looking at her, thinking it was best not to ask.

An hour had passed and not much had changed. Damien was lying on the couch with his hands behind his head and his eyes closed. I had taken off my coat and hung it on a wooden chair. Leaning with my arm against the wall next to the window, I looked outside. The rain seemed to have gotten worse. It actually looked like it was going to continue raining all day. I wasn't planning on staying here and I was sure that neither was Damien. Where was here? A safehouse for vampires. Centuries ago it was used to hide during the day, in a time where we werestill vulnerable for UV-light. Now these safehouses are used to hide from the vampire-hunters. It's small, dark, old furniture, no lighting. The only thing in here that is atleast a little modern is a refirdgerator, filled with bloodpacks in case we should need it. But still... This place may be called 'a safehouse', but there's nothing safe about it.

Something caught her eye. She raised herhead and looked at a rooftop of a building across the street. A glistening. It was hard to see what it was due to the heavy rainfall. She narrowed her eyes a little to have a better look. Her eyes widened and she quickly presed herself against the wall that she was leaning against. Not even one second after she had turned away, the window shattered and thousands of pieces off glass fell on the ground. Damien sat up quickly and looked at Sereiti, surprised and confused. He opened his mouth to ask what was wrong but got cut off by the sound of gunfire. By pure instinct Sereniti crouched down and took both of her silver handguns in her hands. Damien had made his way towards the now shattered window and was also crouched down and pressed against the wall on the other side of the wndow. Without having to ask his question, Sereniti gave him an answer.

''Sniper!''

She yelled that word over the gun shots.

''We have to get out of here! Now!''

Damien nodded in agreement and waited for Sereniti to tell him when to go. Sereniti waited only a few seconds.

''Now!''

Sereniti stood up quickly and started shooting at the sniper on the roof. Damien jumped out of the window. It was pretty high up,seventh floor of an apartment building. Damien landed in a bit of a crouch but didn't hurt himself at all. He stood up straight and quickly put on his coat which he had snatched along. He looked up to see Sereniti who was still shooting at the now reloading sniper. She took this small break to grab her coat, put it on and jump down through the window. She also landed in a slight crouch and immediately started reloadng her guns quickly. Both Damien and Sereniti dropped onto one knee just in time, bullets barely missing their heads.

''Go!''

Damien stood up and ran, Sereniti stood up and continued her rain of bullets on the sniper while walking away backwards. Suddenly the shooting from the sniper stopped, she stopped firing also and tried spotting the sniper. The gun he used was still ther eon the rooftop, but the sniper was nowhere in sight. She holstered her guns quickly and ran after Damien, quickly catching up with him. They both kept running until they thought they were at a safe distance.They both caught their breaths and looked at each other, standing infront of each other. Damien smiled at her and Sereniti actually smiled a little in return. In one second Damien's smile faded, Sereniti's eyes widened. A single shot. A bullet, missing Sereniti's head barely but hitting Damien in the chest, in his heart. Sereniti turned around quickly, drawing both handguns. Her eyes fell on the shooter. It was the sniper from before. Sereniti aimed with one gun quickly, firing. The sniper grabed his shoulder and fell onto the ground, dropping his gun in the process. Sereniti walked to him quickly, kciking him onto his back and placing her foot on his chest to keep him down. She aimed at his head with both handguns and pulled their triggers with no hesitation. She didn't stop firing until the only sound her guns made were faint clicks. She put her guns away, looking down at a now headless body. Blood and little bits and pieces of the man's skull were splattered all over the ground. Sereniti quickly ran back to Damien, taking his face in her hands gently and desperately trying to wake him up.

''Damien! Damien! Look at me! Please, open your eyes!''

She had started crying. Slowly she picked up Damien's lifeless body, trying to stop crying. But she didn't want to stop crying. She carried him back home towards the mansion, crying the whole way and begging him to open his eyes beautiful brown eyes and look at her. With no succes.

It seemed to rain harder then before, that night...
