Hi there! I really appreciate reviews but if they're just mean things then you could take that review and flush it down a toilet. Enjoy the story. (Warning: names of people and places in this story have been changed in order to protect the agents of The Association) I do not own the photo also.

2 years ago…

"Everybody having fun tonight?!" I yelled and the crowd cheered and danced like it was the last thing they would do. Some puked in a corner from too much alcohol while some made out with their companions. The dark room was illuminated only by strobe lights and this works to my advantage. It's time to hunt.

155 years ago in London…

"MOM! MMMOOOMMMM!" Twenty- year old Damon screamed as tried to help his family. His mom was sprawled on the floor, his sister dead with a bullet through her head and his father missing. He asked for help as people passed by but they did nothing but stare. He looked around for someone he knows but couldn't find a familiar face in crowd. He searched their purses and found some notes. Written on those notes are words he was familiar with. Threats from other vampires were common but he knew that they were only after his father for he is the only full blooded vampire in the family. Pretty soon people took the bodies away and some detectives came. He waited for days in his lonely house for any clue that might lead to the murderer but all the guards could give him is the locket his mother wore. They said there was something inscribed on it and upon looking at the strange symbols carved on it, he knew that what did that to his family was no human. He trashed his house and burned every trace of him. He packed his stuff and took everything he needed; one of those is a small portrait of his family. That's how his journey started.

…xxxXXXxxx..

Damon watched the humans dance, drink and get wild in the club but what he was looking for isn't here. Sure he spotted a few vampires but they were the ones that he knew. He kept playing songs that he knew the crowd would like and when he played some particular songs people would cheer and do their worst drunk dance. His view on the large platform gave him the advantage of seeing everyone who walks in and out the club doors. What caught his attention was a pair that walked in. He studied them the lady had long straight black hair and was wearing a short black halter dress. She smiled at the man beside her who had brown hair and just like the lady, was wearing something expensive looking, a blue polo and black pants. Something about them seemed unnatural. Could they be the vampires he was looking for? He stared at them more as the bouncer allowed them to enter the high class area where only the richest could afford. It was on the second floor and he called one of his friends to take over for him as he followed them. The bouncer threw a questioning look at the DJ but let him pass anyway since he worked here.

The sound of people's laughter filled his ears along with the sound of glasses gently hitting each other for a toast. He looked around and studied the room. Red walls with black and white designs and red couches with black round tables, he always liked this room due to its sophistication but the red color was something he wasn't too fond of. He found the pair sitting on the couch with other people who had vampire like appearances. One in particular had a hungry look in his eyes. No shadow. The man is a vampire. He looked at the pair and found their shadows, humans. His time was running out, with his hoodie and torn up jeans, he sticks out like a sore thumb. If they found him suspicious, his plan would go down the drain.

He went back to the first floor and went straight for the platform. His partner left and he managed his station. He kept an eye out for the suspicious vampire and the pair.

"Excuse me! Night Angel!" A woman called me. Night Angel was the name I used as a DJ here and it seems the ladies have memorized it just to get my attention.

"Can I have a picture with you? It will be totally cool!" she said as she went up the platform. I quickly dodged her and just as I landed my eyes on the door, the vampire was already leaving with only the lady.

I ran as fast as I could without being attracting some more attention. I made my way outside where the guy was leaning against a wall and checking his phone. This guy entered with the lady so why did he leave her alone? Sometimes I really think the humans are idiots. My senses heightened and I pretended that I was just going to the parking lot but in reality I was following a scent that leads to a nearby alleyway. I kept walking but I noticed the guy following me. I walked a bit faster but the man just stopped at a black sports car. I revved to life and he left. He was a probably paid to lead the lady into a hungry customer. I didn't worry about him much and made my way through the alley where the lady walked with the vampire. He tried to get her to move closer but due to her drunken state she just laughed and swerved away from him. I got closer and I got their attention. The lady just looked at me as if she was analyzing me while the vampire just gave a warning gesture. I moved closer. The vampire lunged at me but his few glasses of wine didn't do him good. He was slower than I expected and easily killed him by stabbing him with a silver dagger. Luckily the cloth came of easily where it should have and I didn't get injured by the silver while it killed the vampire in front of me.

"Hands up!" The woman yelled as she took a gun from under her skirt. Ordinary bullets won't hurt me so I just played along.

"Two in one day… I must be lucky… I only wanted the serial killer one but you took care of him already. This gun is loaded with silver bullets so don't get any ideas." My eyes widened a bit but I just kept calm. I seriously don't want to get killed a bounty hunter. A car went near us and the guy she was with came out. He looked at me and tsked.

"what did he do to you?"

"just found him. He killed our target. Call the team. We'll bring him in, see what we can do." She replied and the guy happily complied.

It was already dawn when they took me to a building deep in the woods outside of the city. I can hear people talking on the other side of the white door. I didn't dare try to escape since I now know where I am, The Association, the group in charge of keeping the balance between the undead and humans.

"He's a vampire…" a male voice argued.

"He's a dhampir…" the other said.

A lot of voices kept talking back and forth and I just blocked them all out. It was after an hour that two people came out, both of them looked at me, judging me. The guy, the same one at the alley, held his hand out. He had, like I said before, brown hair and green eyes, the lady from the alley had long straight black hair and green eyes.

"My name is Gray Hoffman, this is one of my team mates…" he said as he pointed at the woman. "This is Alethea Hadley."

"Welcome to The Association. We are team Alpha, you are one of us now. There's no other choice. Take it or get killed." She said.

I shook his hand and the lady from the alley smiled. "You will be trained in fighting every form of creatures out there. We will hunt down evil in this world and you will help us. This world needs us, we are their only hope. So, ready to start rookie?"
