Chaper 1-
Waiting, quiet as a mouse, but way more than a little confident. She stands in the corner of the room. Her hand rests on her stake that's hooked on to her weapon belt, for easy access in case of any emergency, because when hunting vampires, werewolves, and basically all other supernatural beings that are unbelieved in most humans eyes, you never truly know what can happen.
Winter Flame (she always hated her name) waits there for the vial, disgusting beast that is going to come through the door at any given moment. She really wished he would come already so she could get this over and done with. Just standing there is so time consuming and pretty boring. Especially after an hour and a half of standing in the same spot in the darkest corner of the room, unmoving, but all a part of the job. She is sometimes known for being impatient even with things like this, life or death situations. Everyday life for a vamp hunter, A.K.A. Winter Flame. It probably seems strange to most, how a vampire could be a vampire hunter, but sometimes things happen to make changes in life that cause you to reassess your priorities. That is exactly what happened to Winter. She saw that people were more than just a food source, along with others things that she just does not have time to get into right now, since she was waiting for a vampire that did not see things the same way she did.
Winter had been scouting out this guy for two weeks. He lived in a peaceful neighborhood, filled with many good natured people. Which, to Winter, just made him even more despicable. Here he was, a vampire, a blood sucking leech, invading innocent humans territory. In her eyes, his being here was tainting this neighborhood with evil. It made her sick, she despised these...creatures.
All of them were the same, cocky, inconsiderate, heartless (literally), not even caring for any living thing that it comes across with. Of course, the whole eating-humans-because-they-taste-delicious thing, doesn't win you any points in Winter's rule book either. That was a deal breaker. A sound from the road caused Winter to come out of her quiet, unheard rant and come back to her senses. Finally, she thought, expanding her hearing and knew it was finally time to get rid of this creature once and for all.
She was certain it was him. It took every ounce of hearing she had in order to hear the light as a feather footsteps coming up the driveway. Winter made sure that she was completely hidden in the darkness, so that not even a vampire could see her, she hoped. Of course she knew that if he looked carefully enough at this spot he would most definitely see her. Luckily vampires are oblivious to normal things humans look for, like someone lurking in their house. They're so certain that nobody would dare cross them, and if anyone actually did they could easily take them down without breaking a sweat.
Winter felt herself smile. This was going to be way to easy if he thought that her job – if you can call it that – was not a challenge. She kinda wished she got some action every now and then.
When she heard the vampire coming up on the porch she soundlessly took her stake from her belt, pressed against the wall, stiff as a board, and held her breath. Like she said before, he probably wouldn't notice her anyway but by the slight chance he did see her she wanted to make sure she was ready for anything. He was right at the door now. A few seconds ticked by, followed by some more. What was he waiting for?, she thought. She couldn't hear anything except for the occasional inhale and exhale. Then...nothing, complete silence. Just before that she heard an unnatural swish of the air outside the door.
Winter stepped out of the shadows. He hadn't just up and left for no reason, no he must have smelled her or spotted something to tip him off that she was here. Well, she thought, at least he's some what smart. She gave him props for that. The only problem now is that she didn't know where he was or what he was doing. He had not left, she knew that, because if he knew she was here he wouldn't leave and wait for her to leave. No, he would fight, or at least try too.
She stood in the middle of the room so she could see both the front door and the back door but while still being able to see all the windows in the house. A couple seconds passed, she started to wonder if he had actually bailed...when she heard the sliding of a window from upstairs. He could have been quieter, he could have opened the window soundlessly, but he was too confident. He probably thought she was a lousy intruder that just needed a little scare to bring down. Boy was he off. And to prove it, Winter crept up the stairs, careful not to make any noise at all while doing so. When she got to the room which the vampire had come into, she just walked right in. She didn't know where he was – right behind the door. Winter went further into the room until she was in the center of it. She held up the stake and appeared to be looking around the room for vampires, she didn't want to tip him off that she already knew where he was.
He did exactly what Winter expected him to do. He jumped her from behind hoping to frighten her while pinning her to the floor, or at least that's what he attempted to do. Since Winter had known what he was going to do before he did it, she knew exactly what to do. At the last second, just when she was about to be pinned by a 150 pound vampire, she ran to the wall that was in front of her. Once there she hit it with her foot so she was propelled in the air, spun around in midair and landed her fist at the side of his face. He fell to the floor with a thud while she landed with both feet beneath her. That was a simple move, but very effective. She had gotten the result that she wanted, which was for her to have the upper hand, and she now had it. She had to act quick because he was already starting to get up. To keep him from getting all the way up she put one big boot covered foot and pressed down on his back.
Winter smiled down at the man who was bigger, taller, and stronger than her but was unable to even get a single hit in on her. "I would say better luck next time but it looks like this was your last chance" she said to him "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself" with this said she leaned down and put her face next to his "Hi, my name is Winter Flame". Then she raised her stake and brought it down on his back, resulting in mystery vampire turning to ashes.
