Chapter1

I had made it I was now in the sarafhan stronghold. I made it in with minimal kills just two, one on the wall surrounding the city and the second in the alley way that I used to enter this building. The room that I was now in was very dark, so dark that the human whose neck I snapped did not even know that I was there.

My mission was to kill three men, Lakie a sarafhan general, Thomas, Lakie's son, and Eria the leader of this strong hold.

My first stop would be the arms building where Thomas made sarafhan weapons. This building was 2 blocks down next to a hotel for human travelers. I drew my blade the blood drinker, and crept to the edge of the street, against a wall. I looked around my surroundings and saw 2 guards that would walk the length of the street to turn around and do the same thing over and over again. I looked across the street to a hotel with an open window and then I had an idea. Maybe just maybe I would be able to get in that window without getting caught. I waited for the guards to turn to walk away from me with their backs turned, and then I ran, jumped, and kicked off of the wall to catch the window seal with my claws and then pulled myself into the room. Once in the room I knelt listening for sounds and heard none, I entered the next room and jumped out the window onto the street below. When I landed I took a defensive stance and looked for enemies.

The only ones were 2 guards talking at the end of the street, and one in the opposite alley way with his back facing me; I crept with no sound and snapped his neck before he could make a sound. I took his body after drinking his blood and hid it so I would not be noticed. The alley way led to the street that Thomas lived on; as I exited I saw the arms building. I drew my blade and hid it away; I then threw the hood of my cloke over my face and slowly walked toward the building. I saw 4 guards two at the front door, one on the roof like rain protector, and the one on the alley way next to the building.

I reached the front door to have the guards stop me.

"Please, allow me passage I must speak to Thomas." I said.

"No one gets in unless Thomas says other wise, now show me your face." one of the guards said.

"As you wish." I said as I threw my hood off and killed both of the guards, jumped up killed the third, and dropped down upon the fourth snapping his neck. Now I had entry to the arms shop. I cleaned my blade and listened. I heard talking so I stopped and listened.

"Thomas, I do not understand why all the defense we've only been attacked once and then we purged all of the damned creatures." The guard said

"I have a bad feeling, look just go tell Eria." Thomas said

"Yes sir as you wish." The guard said as I heard him begin to walk down the stairs. As he descended I darted to the wall and waited for him to reach the bottom. As he did I put my hand over his mouth and stabbed him in the chest killing him, I then cleaned off my blade and sheathed it.

As I ascended the stairs I saw Thomas pacing back and forth talking to him self.

"Dammit they will know soon enough but I will not die because of their stupidity, no vampire will sneak upon me..."

"WELL, WELL then how is it that I've managed to surprise you." I said as I walked out of the shadows.

"Vampire, how did you manage to get past my guards?" Thomas asked surprised

"They were unprepared, but you knew that already I heard you telling that messenger that I just killed... and now it's your turn."

"By the sarafhan lords I will do away with you and then all others like you." Thomas said as he swiped at me. I ducked hitting him in the stomach, and then jumping back. Thomas righted him self and rushed at me, I ducked and set my shoulder into his stomach and tossed him over me and down the stairs into the room below.

"NOW, you will pay for the death of Loki, he was like a brother to me and you will pay along with all the rest of your kind." I Raged at Thomas. Thomas struggling to stand said. "No, vampire will have my blood, I will have yours." Thomas screamed as he struck. It was then that I took action catching his arm at the base of his blade, drawing my blade I stabbed Thomas in his stomach. His eyes went wide as he attempted to speak, but all that came out were gurgeling and sputtering. Then he said one word.

"...F..a..t.her..."

I drank his blood and continued on with my mission.
