Hey guys. So it seems I'm just going to take a break on FanFic. So I'm looking at Children of the Night/Children of the Darkness and it just well pissed me off that those two had to be separated all because of a misshape with the damn ff.n and how it uploaded the computer. I believe some got confused as to what happened with the story so I thought I'm just going to start from scratch and upload a chapter maybe once in a while until you guys are on the last chapter I updated. I hope some of you review since I had to delete the other two and I hope some newbies enjoy it so, thank you to those who support me with this oddball fanfic and keep watching the best show on television.

Prologue
Nights can play tricks on those who let them but off in the darkest part of the city two figures stood in the dark conversing with one another. They looked like regular humans but it was far from being just that. They were creatures, monsters. When you crossed their path you did not find comfort in their grasp but something worse, terror, nightmares of internal youth to live forever forced to prey on those you wish you could be once more.
"What do you want, it's nearly dawn." Spat the creature.
"He's ready."
No sooner did this creature say this then the other one take back what he meant.
"Oh, about damn time after all this," he was quickly silenced by a growl that came deep down from the bowels of his inner demon.
"I'm sure the master would have taken him a long time ago but he wasn't ready, not old enough or something like that, and we do what the master tells us, you got it?"
"Yes,....so what do we do, take him?"
The much calmer one shook his head and began to walk away.
"No, we tell the master, that's it."
They both began to walk to the street. Nobody would notice them, it was meant that way only if they choose to be seen, then they would show themselves but for the most part people couldn't and just didn't want to see them and that was much better for them, easier to sneak up on their pray.
"So you think the master will be pleased?"
The creature looked over and smiled bearing his razor sharp teeth.
Chapter 1
Bosco looked disgustedly down at what lay in front of him.
"Not another one."
"Afraid so." Replied Kim Zambrano who was throwing over a white sheet as her partner Alex walked to get the cot from the back of the bus.
A runner had stumbled upon a dead body in Central Park; terrified, she notified the authorities.
"Don't they get sick of this?"
"Technically they can't anymore they're dead Boz."
Bosco rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"That's not what I meant, I'm meaning the druggies, I mean after a while if I kept seeing my friends fall flat on their faces dead that I would get the picture that drugs is a bad thing for the body."
"But Bosco if that happened then it would make your life so much simpler and that just can't be."
Bosco looked over to see Davis walking up without Sully who was usually with him.
"Get a dead call?"
"Yep dead as can be." Bosco then smirked and looked at the body "What a deadbeat huh?"
Kim looked over at Bosco and smiled as Faith walked away while Davis jumped in.
"Yeah I'm sure they're not the life of the party."
Bosco had to comment one more last time.
"I bet when they took it they soon realized they were dead wrong."
Faith had enough.
"Well you guys stop, remember this was somebody an human being; I'm sure you two wouldn't like it if people were taking pun shots off of you."
"I'm not the one who decided I needed some excitement in my life and put drugs in my system that oh wait, wait, made me stiff as a board and light as a feather."
Bosco put his hand out while Davis smack his hand.
Faith gave up and looked at Kim for help but she shrugged he shoulders so she turned back and looked at Davis.
"Where's Sully?"
"I called him and he sounded like a damn foghorn on the other end of the line, he had a cold and didn't want to come in."
"How cute we have our very own Sneezy."
"Bosco shut up and come on."
Faith began to walk away.
"Okay Grumpy."
As they walked away Davis could hear the two still taking shots at one another.
"If I'm Grumpy then you must be Dopey." She gave a smug look.
"Oh shot down by Queen Grump, least you're right with one thing, I must be because Dopey gets all the ladies."
"Bosco!"
Davis snickered at the retreating backs of 55-David's backs and then turned to walk back to Alex and Kim who were just loading the DOA into the back of the bus.
"Hey there."
Turning around Alex gave a small smile.
"Hey back."
About to say something he was cut off by Kim's voice.
"What the hell?"
Alex and Davis looked in the back to see Kim's face contorted.
"What is it."
"You got to see this." Kim had the look of disbelief.
Both of them climbed into the back of the bus and looked at the corpse that already began to turn cold.
"What is it, looks like a dead as...."
"Davis...don't, no more....Alex take a look at the side of his neck and tell me that's not two puncture wounds."
Alex with her blue gloved hand turned the figures head by the chin and saw the two discolored puncture wounds.
"Yep that is sure is, what we now have people running around thinking they're vampires?"
"You didn't notice did you?"
Looking up Alex looked at Kim.
Again Alex checked the body over and then did notice what Kim was talking about.
"No bruises."
"So."
"Well to make bruises you have to have blood; and judging by the puncture wounds and the other track marks in the arm, he would have at least some day old bruising if not fresh."
"Are you trying to tell me...."
Kim cut off Davis.
"Yeah whatever killed this guy made sure not to leave any blood behind."
All three of them stared at the cot and then back at one another as silence came over the ambulance and feeling rather uncomfortable and shifting they ended up looking at one another and thinking the same thought they all scrambled out of the vehicle.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Things were going so slow for Bosco and Faith. Stop and go, stop and go that's all they did watching the streets not sure to what to talk about so they sat in silence. Faith could feel her mouth going dryer by the minute realizing she hadn't had anything all day.
"Bosco can you pull over I need to get something to drink."
Without even answering her he pulled over next to a small grocery store. They got out together and walked inside.
Coming back out Bosco was preoccupied with a conversation telling his story to Faith and holding the door while sipping on his pop he slammed into someone who was walking in.
"Damn, I'm sorry" as his pop went flying some of it splashing on the women who stood in front of him. She backed up as the two came out and as Bosco looked up at the woman he was mesmerized, her eyes, something about them that he just couldn't put his finger on.
"Excuse my partner he,"
"That's okay, no harm at all," She flashed a grin while flipping her long jet curly black hair back behind her shoulders. She looked down at the pop that was on her shirt and shrugged. "old shirt anyways."
"Do I know you?"
Faith looked over at her partner. He was acting unusual even for him. Bosco usually acted like cupid had shot him with a bow and arrow right in the ass. Yet in the presence of this woman he seemed off like he was almost hypnotized. 'Great' thought Faith, 'I been watching way to many horror movies or something Bosco just being his "I want you in bed take me now." The woman began to talk making Faith come out of her thoughts at the moment.
"Maybe in another life time if you believe in reincarnation, but I don't remember you, I know I would if I had."
Faith watched as they stared at one another until the radio crackled with life bringing Bosco out of his stupor.
"Well we gotta go, duty calls."
Ready to leave these strange woman Faith walked to the driver's side and saw Bosco was still backing up yet still watching the woman who was walking in and herself turned back around to look at the two officers.
"Bosco today."
"Right."
Then as though they never even talked to her Bosco got into the car. Faith looked at the women who was watching Bosco, she felt herself glaring at her for being so, so strange and having such an effect on Bosco.
Before the car door slammed the women called out to Bosco.
"See you again."
As they peeled off Faith looked over at Bosco and said
"Put your tongue back in."
Bosco just gave his look as she gave a small smile.
The woman watched as the squad car take off. She smiled and turned and walked away not even planning on going into the store.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Please don't, what do you want, I have nothing."
The woman was backing up pleading putting her hands out before her, trying to get the psycho away from her body. She had walked by an alley and without warning was grabbed from behind somebody placed a gloved hand over her mouth so she could not cry out for help. She had kicked the man in the groin and ran in the opposite way she had been grabbed. Running she came to a dead end with the wall too high to jump. The creature was on her in no time and she began to cry as it stepped closer to her. Getting into a fetal position she began to shake. Crying. Telling him to leave her alone. Asking what had she done to him.
"Please just leave me alone, I don't have anything on me."
The creature growled and with a sadistic voice in a purring tone spoke to the panic-stricken woman.
"Oh but you do."
Looking up tears rolling down she looked at him.
"I do...."
He bared his teeth and as the monster jumped on her she let out a ear-piercing scream only it was silenced as her vocals were ripped from her throat with razor sharp fangs, all that could be heard in the alleyway was a slight gurgling sound.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Pulling up to the scene Bosco and Faith had gotten called to they could see a body being put into the back of the ambulance in a body bag.
"What happened?"
Davis walked up spotting them.
"Two teenagers sneaked back in the alley to make out when they spotted a mutilated body."
Leading them to the scene of the crime while Faith stayed back not really happy to see something like that.
"Damn! Bet they won't be making out for very long."
Bosco and Davis stopped at the scene of the crime where blood painted part of the brick walls and cement road.
"Alex gave me some information that they didn't even think the body was that old, rigor mortis hadn't even started yet."
"No kidding, so some asshole did this during broad daylight?"
"Yep, and nobody saw or heard a damn thing."
"Great now we have some wacko running around mutilating bodies and leaving them for kids to find; just wonderful. Well whoever it is I say we catch him and give him a little street justice."
Davis looked at Bosco who was looking down at the blood that was suppose to be in a human body giving them life.
"Yeah I hear yeah man and we will catch him."
Bosco nodded and walked away.
Faith was sitting on the front of the squad when Bosco walked out of the alley almost looking paler.
"You okay?"
"Yeah."
"So,...."
Knowing that Faith was going to ask him what happened he just told her the basic of what he knew.
"Somebody butchered a women in broad daylight and we're going to find him."
"That we are Bosco, that we are."
Getting into their squad cars they took off while the one who had just feasted on the women that was splattered all over the wall watched and smiled.
"Come and try and get me boy."
He laughed and walked away nobody even seeing him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bosco got home late in the night. Paperwork wasn't to bad so having to stay only 30 minutes pass his shift he ended going straight home after. Even though he would want more then to crawl into his bed and fall asleep, he just knew his body was too restless and he just knew he would end up tossing and turning in his bed. So he grabbed a cup of water drank it slowly his mind made up, he was to go on a nightly jog, hoping it would make him somewhat tired.
Throwing on his jogging pants and his gray NYPD shirt with a gray hoody and a pair of Nike shoes he was ready.
He felt the night air hit his skin yet his cheeks were warm enough it cooled him down. He started his run, block after block and not even realizing how far he had come until he reached the beginning of Central Park. Shifting he looked around and debated whether or not to go into the park.
` Hunger. That's all it knew it needed the taste of blood in it's mouth, warm, soaking the very tongue that desired the sweet sensation. It waited, listening for something. Faintly but close it could hear the soft sound of footsteps and the loudness of it's beating heart, it could tell this person had been running for it almost could start to smell the odor of perspiration. When it passed it gave chase running after the sounds of his food. It wanted and needed. With quick speed much faster then humans could possible comprehend, once behind the unknown victim was now way ahead ready to pounce. It rested on a tree branch the perfect spot to catch the food off guard; it waited for it to come right towards it.
Bosco could feel his legs were becoming tired. He ended up deciding to go into the park after all. From all the things he had seen and heard about he knew better to go walking around at the time of night by himself was foolishly but the park had gotten better besides it wasn't like he couldn't handle the situation. So he continued his jog feeling the heaviness of his legs.
He came to a stop so he could catch his breath. After his breathing began to settle he realized his entire body was up in arms. Hairs stood up as though electricity was in the air. Trained to listen to his instincts Bosco looked around but even in the dark small spot with the lamppost he saw nothing yet his nerves would not calm down.
Why did his prey stop? No matter it could leap from where it sat. It had the strength.
Getting on the balls off its feet prepared to jump and surprise the sucker when all of a sudden it stopped, looked again, growled and left moving onto to find another target to feed it's hunger.
Bosco felt the nerves die down and about to take off Bosco let out a yelp when something grabbed his shoulder.
Spinning around he was greatly shocked to see the woman from the store.
"A bit jumpy now are we? For an NYPD Police Officer aren't they suppose to be able to handle everything and anything?"
"Well we still can get caught off guard especially at night from behind about 1.am in the morning."
"I'll have to remember that for next time."
Bosco looked at the woman. The nerves again began to rise in his gut again but he didn't know why so trying to stop the feeling he shifted position.
"You want to go for some coffee or something?"
"Sure, your place?"
Bosco was brought back by this question. Usually he asked, not the other way around but that didn't bug him to bad.
"If you want to, but how do you know I'm not some crazy copy cat Jeffrey Dahmerr?"
"I don't but you're a cop and I'm a big girl and believe me when I say 'I can handle myself'."
"Well that settles that question, okay then."
"So I'm invited?"
"Yes, of course."
"Perfect."
She smiled and as they walked away she looked back and looked up at the branch her eyes changed blood red, anger at the thought if she hadn't been there what could have happened. Yet it didn't matter she turned her head back and walked closely along side Bosco.

"A bit jumpy now are we? For an NYPD Police Officer aren't they suppose to be able to handle everything and anything?"
"Well we still can get caught off guard especially at night from behind about 1.am in the morning."
"I'll have to remember that for next time."
Bosco looked at the woman. The nerves again began to rise in his gut again but he didn't know why so trying to stop the feeling he shifted position.
"You want to go for some coffee or something?"
"Sure, your place?"
Bosco was brought back by this question. Usually he asked, not the other way around but that didn't bug him to bad.
"If you want to, but how do you know I'm not some crazy copy cat Jeffrey Dahmerr?"
"I don't but you're a cop and I'm a big girl and believe me when I say 'I can handle myself'."
"Well that settles that question, okay then."
"So I'm invited?"
"Yes, of course."
"Perfect."
She smiled and as they walked away she looked back and looked up at the branch her eyes changed blood red, anger at the thought if she hadn't been there what could have happened. Yet it didn't matter she turned her head back and walked closely along side Bosco.
