Sequel to Secret Corridors. Theses are my vampires, not the kind they have on the show. I want them a little tougher and more monstrous so I had to change them up. Hope you like the first chapter.

Rendezvous

Bushes and twigs cut along his skin, thorns ripped at his jeans and shirt as he shoved branches aside and hurdled his body through the mass of woods and shadows. Adrenalin warmed his body in the cold autumn night, pushed him to keep onward.

Dried leaves crunched under his boots, echoing into the seemingly empty night. Twigs snapped, skin scratched and bled from thorn bushes and the quick lashes that the tree branches whipped into Dean's body. The woods were so still, so quite. But even in all that stillness, all that vast emptiness of trees and leaves, it was alive all on its own. The trees and thorns, bushes and twigs fought against Dean's presence, cut him, scratched him, bled him any chance it got. They weren't alive in the sense we are, he knew that, but everything seemed to be going against him that night.

He and Sam had found a group of vampires lurking around town and followed them to the woods. One of the bastards took Sam and dragged him into the trees. That's what Dean was doing here, he was running through all those woods to get to his little brother.

"Sammy!"

He held his hands just in front of his face, blocking the branches from his eyes. One hand held his gun and pushed at whatever lay in front of him. Trees seemed to appear out of no where in front of him, blocking his path, slowing him down.

"Sammy!" He screamed, praying for his brother to respond.

The woods were a shade away from pitch black, the only light was what little glow the moon got through the leaves and branches on the trees. The crunching under his feet thundered through the silence of his surroundings.

His green over shirt caught onto a thorn bush, yanked him backward. He peeled it off his shoulders and arms as fast as he could and roared through the dark once again.

"Dean!"

Dean stopped running so abruptly that his feet gave out from underneath him. He fell to the ground on his back and rolled onto his stomach.

"Sam!?"

"Dean!"

Sam's voice bounced off the trees and reverberated through the woods. Dean kicked off his feet and scurried off to the left, taking quick, wide steps. He held his gun in a two handed grip with the barrel facing the ground, no longer caring if his face got scratched up.

"Sam! Keep talking!"

"I don't know where they went. They just dropped me here."

Dean stepped around a large tree trunk and found Sam facing away from him.

"Sam!" He ran up behind his little brother and spun him around, grabbing Sam's jacket to pull him closer for a better look. He tucked his gun into the front of his jeans and grabbed his brothers face, turning it from left to right.

"I'm alright. We need to-" Sam was cut off when Dean's body went hurdling out of sight.

Dean's back slammed against the trunk of a red maple tree and stood propped up by the weight of a vampire pinning him up. He reached for his gun and yanked it out of his pants, only to be stopped as another vampire crawled down the trunk and grabbed his hands to pin over his head. Dean looked up at the vampire clinging to the tree above him like a spider. The little bit of light around them showed the figure of a man smiling down at him, licking the tips of his fangs. Dean drew his attention back to the vampire in front of him, a slender woman mimicked the vampire above him, looking at him like he was a piece of meat. Past the girl was Sam, pinned down to the ground with three woman on top of him, struggling to get free.

A dark shadow walked slowly out from behind one of the trees. From its figure and the way it moved, Dean figured it was a girl. She swayed her hips in a hypnotizing motion, her long wavy hair lifted up with the wind and waved loosely in the air as if it was a separate living thing from the corpse it was attached to. The closer the girl got, the clearer it was to see her features. The first thing Dean noticed was her skin. It wasn't as white as the other vampires that were pinning both him and his brother down, she didn't glow in the night the way they did. As a matter of fact, she had a tan. The next thing he noticed was her dark blue eyes that burned like a cold fire in the darkness around them.

She walked up to Sam, standing with her feet apart just above his head.

"He smells so good Maestro." One of the girls looked up at the tanned woman with such ruthless need that the tanned woman hissed in her direction.

"But he bleeds, I can not help but want a little taste."

The woman called 'Maestro' bent down to Sam's body and rested a hand on his shoulder.

"Get the fuck off my brother!" Dean yelled in her direction. "You hurt him and so help me god I'll kill you all!"

The woman ignored him and caressed Sam's arm where a branch had nicked him and smeared the fresh blood onto her fingers. Sam writhed beneath the three girls pinning him down only to achieve the pleasure of nails digging through his clothes and into his flesh. The tanned woman brought her finger to her lips and flicked her tongue out at the sweet copper taste that lay on her fingertips. The moment the cherry red liquid touched her tongue she spat it out in disbelief. She grabbed Sam's long brown hair and stroked it away from his face. When his face came into view, a smile spread across her lips. Sam looked up at the woman, a second later his mouth dropped and eyes widened.

"What is it Maestro?" This coming from the girl pinning Dean.

The 'Maestro' rose up from her crouching position and quick stepped over to Dean, losing all the poise she has just a second ago. She grabbed the vampire holding him up by the shirt and tossed her aside. She replaced the girls hands with her own and glared up at the vampire crouching on the tree trunk. She gazed up at him and he released his grip on Dean's wrists. She used one hand to keep him levitated and the other to grab his gun out of his hand. She tossed it into the leaves at their feet and used that hand to feel his stomach.

It was still to dark for Dean to see her face, even this close she was just another shadow. She slid her hair over her face as if hiding herself from him which made it even harder to get a good look at her. When she took the gun away from him, he clasped both hands around her one wrist that held him up by his shirt. He tugged at her arm but got nothing in return except for her hands feeling him up. Her other hand lifted his shirt and caressed his lower stomach until she came to a scar he had gotten a few months back. She paused there, feeling the rubbery smoothness that all scars get and moved her face closer to his. She took her hand out from under his shirt and finally spoke out loud.

"What did I tell you about carrying an extra gun, Dean?"

Dean blinked slowly at the question and made a face like 'what the fuck' before he asked, "What?"

She tilted her head up and let her hair reveal her face, she moved her head a little back into a ray of light so he could see her. She smiled at him with human teeth and tilted her head to the side.

"Anna?" He exclaimed, confused whether to be happy or angry at the sight of her. Last time he saw her, she forgot to mention she was a vampire and decked him and Sam in the face to make sure they wouldn't kill her.

"Dean…" She gave him the same tone he gave her, unsure of what to think about this little rendezvous . "Why are you hunting my people?" She let his shirt go and walked backwards until she was beside Sam. Dean fell to the floor with the sudden release and searched around for his gun.

Anna waved her hand at the three girls and they crawled away from his body.

"Sam," she bent down and grabbed under his shoulders, "sorry about that." She lifted him up until his feet got under him and he pulled away.

"I ask again, why are you hunting my people?" When she said "my people", the four women and one man formed a half circle behind her.

"Why are your people slaughtering the townsfolk?" Dean joined his brother and took a step ahead of him.

"My people aren't the ones killing the humans. We don't even feed off you guys."

"You just tasted my blood." This from Sam.

"I told you before, it's hard to keep the monster in. Cut us a break. We haven't had any human blood in over a century. Why do you think these woods are so quite? We practically drank the blood out of every living creature in here."

"Well one of your vamps are sucking people dry." Dean scanned the group behind her with accusing eyes.

"Back off Dean. We're all hunters here-"

"Even them?" He pointed behind her without sparing as much as a glance to them.

"Actually yes. They've been hunters since before you were born. Either way, this isn't the normal every day hunter gig. This goes way beyond your knowledge."

"Yea, so step down boy." The only man in the group took a step forward. "Maestro," he turned to Anna with a look of pure desperation. "we must go. They're here."

Anna nodded her head but kept her gaze on Dean and Sam. "Go back to your motel boys. This is one battle you gotta look away from."

"Maestro?" Sam questioned. "Why are they calling you master?"

"Every group has its leader Sam. In this case, its me."

"I thought you don't do group work." Dean growled.

"With humans no, with vampires… yes."

A wind swept through the woods, it played along the tops of the trees like fingers, brushed along their skin like velvet. "Leave. Now is not the time to be here."

"Someone is killing these people, and everything about it points to vampires! This is a job Anna, and I'm not leaving here till I get it done."

"Dean why do you always have to argue with me?! Just get the fuck out of here! I'm a hunter before a vampire, if one of my people were going against the rules, it's my job to take them out. But I don't have time to explain what is going on here. Just listen to me for once before you get us into another bad scenario."

"Let's just go Dean." Sam grabbed his brothers arm and started to pull him. Dean shot him a glare that most people would flinch or crack under, but not Sam. He was use to that look. "We slowed her down last time. She'll explain later." He said the last staring at her. She nodded her head, acknowledging his demand for an explanation in the future. "We'll stay in town in case things get worse."

"Maestro! We must go!" One of the girls shouted, fear etched in her voice.

"Lucy, relax! They are already here. We can do nothing but fall through with the plan." Anna looked up at the tops of the trees and back to the boys. "I will explain later, please go. "

Dean let Sam pull him in the direction he thought they came from. Both boys vanished behind the shadows of the night leaving just the group of vampires in the middle of the woods.

Anna watched the boys fade away into the trees and leaves until something rushed past the corner of her eyes and drew her attention back to her group of vampires. She scanned the trees around them and let her fangs slide into place. Her skinned paled into a grayish white tone, her nails stretched out into sharp claws, doubling the size of her fingers. Her eyes glowed even brighter, making her night vision ten times sharper.

Her group followed her lead, shifted into stronger more powerful vampires. Light spilled out from their eyes, so bright it created a bright circle around them. The other vampires turned a bright white instead of the gray-white color of Anna's skin. They were just a bright white target in the thick blackness of air that surrounded them.

The darkness around them began to come alive, circling outside the circle of light the vampires had created.

"Maestro?" The only man in the group asked, searching for guidance.

"It's ok Ather. Carden, can you see them?" Anna asked, sparing a glance at the woman who had Dean pinned up against the tree.

"No, only at the corner of my eyes. They are moving to fast."

"They always do… Lucy, Angelique, Kita, don't stand so far away." Anna hissed.

Shadows darker then any shade of night flashed past the corners of her eyes with such great speed it was impossible to follow.

"What do we do?" Carden asked, taking a step closer to the middle of the circle.

The shadows danced around them and vanished each time you caught them in plain view. Anna twisted her head with the same speed as one of the shadows and ran along the edge of the circle, following the creatures speed.

"We kill them." She shoved her clawed fist into the darkness beyond the circle and yanked one of the shadows inside of the light. The others backed away from both the shadow and Anna, widening the circle but dimming the light in between them. The dark misty shadow slammed to the floor beneath Anna's hands and took on the form of a female human, shifting from a misty cloud into the shadow of a person. It lifted up past her strength and grabbed her shirt with identical clawed hands. Its eyes flashed open with blood stained eyes that dimmed the blue fire burning light in Anna's. The light around Anna darkened as her people moved further away. She hissed into the shadows face and looked up into the faces of her terrified group of hunters.

"Do not break the circle!" She yelled over. But it was too late. Ather took a step further away, breaking away from the circle of light until one of the shadows yanked him into the woods. A strangled high pitched scream tore through the night, it soon turned into a blood gurgling cry that silenced only seconds later.

Anna could smell the blood from where Ather lay dead, ripped in shreds by the shadows around them. The shadow beneath Anna opened its mouth wide, the faint difference in blackness showed fangs protruding out the top of its mouth. The light around her diminished with each step each of the girls took away from her. The shadow pulled Anna down, closer to its open mouth, gaining strength from the surrounding darkness.

"Stay close damn it!" Anna screamed at the four girls as the shadow pulled her throat into its mouth. She screamed as it pierced her skin with its pitch black teeth. A cold tingly feeling spread from the creatures teeth into the two perfect holes in her neck, a cold darkness trailed down her neck, exploring her body inch by inch. Her vision darkened so she could barely see, she was falling inside the black.

Screams filled her ears as Lucy and Angelique got sucked into the woods, covered in black shadows that squirmed and shrieked above them. The creature biting down on her neck released itself as Carden closed the distance between herself and Anna, strengthening the light around her.

The moment it released itself from her, Anna felt the darkness that seeped into her throat swell out from under her skin. It didn't trail down her wound like the blood that flowed out with it, it vanished into the air in front of her like ashes being blown away from the wind. She looked down at the creature and shoved her clawed hands into its chest. Her hands were swallowed into the blackness of its body, Anna's eyes dimmed as she transferred the light in her eyes to her hands. A trick she learned over the two hundred years of being dead.

Her hands glowed with the blue fire of her eyes inside the things chest , she flexed her hands and the light exploded out the tips of her fingers into its entire body. The shadow exploded with the light and disintegrated into the surrounding night. Anna raised up off the floor and turned to Carden.

"Stay in the light."

"What about Lucy and Angelique?"

Anna searched around them, glaring into the moving darkness for the other two girls. Kita walked up behind her, her pure white face was stained with bright red blood seeping out of a claw mark stretching the length of her face. Her arms were shredded with similar marks, her neck dotted with holes matching the ones on Anna's neck. The circle of light was much smaller with just the three of them standing there. Anna turned around at the fresh smell of blood and widened her eyes at the damage Kita had taken.

"Oh my god, Kita. Can you heal it?"

"Can you heal yours?"

Anna touched the wound on her neck and realized she couldn't heal it. "No, I cant."

"There's something in their bite that cancels out our healing process."

"Only wounds from another vampire can do that." Carden mumbled.

Another shadow raced around the edges of the small circle.

"Yeah, these aren't just shadow people Maestro. They're shadow vampires."

"That explains why their kills match those of a vampire." Anna said aloud.

"What do we do?" Kita asked in a strangled voice.

"There's nothing we can do." Anna sighed. "There's too many. All we can do is stay in the light."

"We'll die, we have to-" Kita was cut off as a shadow entered the light and shoved a claw into her back. Anna and Carden reached out for Kita's hand. A shadow of a hand wrapped around Kita's blood soaked neck and yanked backward so hard that it ripped her throat out from under her head. Blood and thicker things splattered against Anna and Carden's face in thick wet globs.

"Fuck!" Anna turned around to the sound of something approaching her in time to see several hands reach out from the dark like stretching rubber and pulled her into the dark abyss. She screamed and hissed into the various red eyes hovering above her. She squirmed and fought with her claws and fangs against the hands ripping at her body. The light in her eyes dimmed second by second, she heard Carden's own struggle from inches away, she heard the sound of flesh tearing away from bone, of skin ripping apart from itself. Anna used whatever light in her body that she had left and thrust it into the air around her. The blue light lit up her surroundings, revealing over a dozen black shadows. The ones closest to her exploded the same way the other had, like the light ate away at its being. The last thing Anna saw before passing out from blood loss and using her energy was all dozen of them close in on her wounded body, then everything became dark again.

Sam and Dean woke up the next morning to a thudding sound outside of their door. Dean rolled over in his bed and looked at the time. It was five thirty in the morning, the sun was barely out.

"Room service just keeps on coming earlier every day." Dean mumbled. "Sam get the door."

"We don't need room service!" Sam yelled out, throwing a pillow over his head.

The thudding stopped, followed by a gurgling cough. Dean sat up in his bed at the sound, he knew that sound. Someone was inhaling their own blood.

"What the…" Dean threw aside his quilt and started for the door.

Sam sat up and starred at the door as it began to shake with the force of someone slamming their fist into it.

"Dean," Sam got out of his bed and ran to the duffel bag beside the window. He grabbed out a handgun for both him and Dean. "here." Sam threw the gun over to his brother and pressed his back up to the wall beside the door. Dean reached for the shaking knob and swung the door open. His hand immediately raised up to the figure in front of him, followed by Sam's own gun as he aimed down the barrel of his.

Anna stood drenched in blood, her tan lost to the red sticky liquid. Her eyes had turned a glazed grey, like a real corpse after seconds of being dead. Her fangs were still out, lapping over her bottom lip, her claws were still as sharp as when they formed out of her hands. Her hair was hardened with blood and thicker things.

Dean and Sam lowered their guns at the sight of her.

"Oh my god…" Sam breathed.

Anna opened her mouth to speak but the only thing that came out was a trail of blood. Her body swayed in its spot, she was fighting to stand up. Her eyes wouldn't focus on the two men she had somehow found her way to.

Dean dropped his gun to the floor and reached out to grab Anna. She fell forward like dead weight and let him hold her up. The blood and thick fluids secreting out her body soaked into the front of his shirt. He pulled her into the room and Sam shut the door behind them.

Dean laid her out on the carpet, cradling her upper body against his chest.

"Anna, Anna what happened?"

She tried to talk but more blood flowed up her throat and out her mouth. Sam bent down next to them and gave Dean worried puppy eyes. Dean looked up at his little brother and returned the look. For the moment, he was glad she sent them off last night, anything that could do this to her would have surely killed them.

They glanced down at Anna and realized her wounds kept gushing out all sorts of liquid. They had to do something, and do it fast.

Ok, so I'll explain the light in the vampires next chapter, I know its weird but I swear I made sense out of it in my own head. Oh yeah, and I'll explain what shadow people are. I did a lot of research on them so I promise to explain it. Lol. So this is the first chapter. Hope you liked. Please leave a review of what you thought. Thanks.
