Heyy people, so I had the most amazing epiphany that Jake would make such a sexy-ass vampire hunter in booty shorts and this abomination happened. Well, not an abomination really, I'm just kind of a sucky writer. Sorry if the characters might be kinda OOC, I did my best. Anyways, on with the story‼

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

(Jake's POV)

"Looks like we were too late…" Jake said softly as he ran his thumb along the dead girl's cheek. Her blue eyes were lifeless. They made Jake's chest ache, for he was painfully reminded of Jane. He stood, and turned to his cousin, John. "Is that scoundrel still alive?"

The younger boy nodded. "Well, he was never really alive, but yeah, just barely. You gonna do the honors?"

Jake answered by moving towards the struggling vampire scum laying on the ground, tied up and covered in bruises. The emerald-eyed hunter knelt down. "So. Sollux, is it?"

Beneath him, the creature of night writhed in pain and hissed. It had a sickly shade of grey skin and razor sharp teeth. It's eyes were two different colors, red and blue, which indicated it had special powers. The boys had to use a special type of bind to control it.

Jake continued, "Now, you can either tell me where the rest of your kind is," He cocked his gleaming pistol and rested it against Sollux's temple. "Or I can blow your bloody brains out."

The vampire seethed. "Like hell, Englithh."

Jake sighed. "Fine. Have it your way." He said, pulling the trigger. From the corner of his eye, he noticed John wince slightly. He felt a pang of guilt, since John was still new to all of this. Vampire hunting was a messy and dangerous business, but you have to do whatever it takes to protect those you care about.

The hunter got up and cleaned off the muck. "Glad that's over. Anywho, we need to get rid of this." He motioned towards the vampire corpse.

"I'll do it." John replied. "You take care of the girl."

Jake raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? Last time you touched a dead vamp, you almost puked."

John's expression was completely serious. "I know. I…I have to do this. So I can be a better hunter."

Jake smiled. He felt a little proud, too. "Well right-o, my friend. I'll wait here for you."

He went to go dispose of the body, a bit reluctant to touch it. Meanwhile, Jake moved the girl. As he waited for his cousin to return, he caught a swift flicker of movement in the forest behind. The hairs on the back of his neck stood and he eyed his surroundings cautiously. 'Am I being watched?'

"Hey!" John called as he emerged from the trees. "I'm back. Let's go, it's freezing!"

The older boy nodded. The moment was gone and he did not have that queasy feeling in his stomach anymore, but he was still on alert as the two exited.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Jake was sprawled on the bed of the hotel room and reading a magazine when John entered. He handed Jake a piece of paper that read: "Wanted: Dirk and Dave Strider. Dangerous Hybrid Vampires, Reward $3000, Dead or Alive." Below were pictures of two fair-haired males. The older one had bright orange eyes and the younger had red.

Jake whistled. "That is a mighty fine reward."

"Definitely. And I never knew there were hybrid vampires."

"Neither did I."

"So what do you think? Should we take up the job?"

Jake contemplated it, while the reward was very tempting, the two of them alone probably wouldn't be strong enough. Who knew what kind of power a hybrid vampire possessed? Then again, not to toot his own horn but he was quite talented at this. John wasn't fully used to it, but he was pretty good for a beginner. But still…

"Maybe when we have more experience." Jake decided.

"Aw, well okay. How about this guy instead?" John said, showing him another poster.

"Eridan Ampora. Reward for $350. Not bad. I think we can take him. We'll go after him tomorrow."

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

(John's POV)

The boys had just captured Ampora and turned him in to the Order. Tomorrow they were planning to leave this town. John recalled the event. He did really well I the fight, but Jake, well, he was a boss. John always aspired to be like his older cousin. He was such a badass when it came to vampire hunting, and John was glad he could learn from him. Jake had decided to call it a night, but John wanted to check out this music store. As he sifted through some CD's, a stranger approached him.

"Hey cutie." Said a smooth voice from behind him.

John turned rather quickly and came face-to-face with an incredibly hot guy. He was extremely pale, but not in a bad way, and his hair was an almost-white blond. His eyes were covered by a pair of shades. ('That's weird,' John thought. 'Who wears sunglasses indoors?') He had a smirk that definitely wasn't going away anytime soon that just screamed "I'm amazing in bed!". John was sure he had never met this boy before, but something was oddly familiar about him.

"M-me?" John stammered.

"Yeah, you. What's your name, baby?"

John Egbert could not believe it. For the first time in his sixteen years of life, he was being hit on by a really sexy guy. Fuck.

"J-John…"

"Dave." The boy replied, stepping closer.

His nearness caused John to blush, but then it clicked. He was one of the hybrid vamps on the poster, Dave Strider. 'Shit, shit, shit…'

"What's wrong, cutie? Don't worry, I won't bite."

'How funny.' "I-I have to go, sorry!" He pushed past him and power-walked out of the store. Once he was far enough, he broke into a run all the way to the hotel. He burst through the door, which caused Jake to shoot up from bed.

"GREAT CAESAR'S GHOST, WHERE'S THE INTRUDER?!"

"Jake, shut up, it's me! Anyway, there's trouble."

The nineteen year old rubbed his sleepy eyes. "What's wrong?" He asked with a yawn.

"You remember the Striders? From the wanted poster? They're here. Like, in town."

Jake was instantly alert. "What? How do you know this? Did you see both of them? Did they see you?"

"Well, um, I was in a store and….the younger one, Dave, was kinda hitting on me…" His cousin raised an eyebrow. "Shut up, I know what you're gonna say. It's not my fault I'm adorable. But anyways, I didn't see the other guy, and he didn't seem to know I was a hunter So I sorta just got the fuck outta there."

Jake's face was grim. "We need to get out of here. Let's take a train. We should go see your father."

"Shouldn't we wait 'til the sun rises?"

"Okay. But first thing in the morning, we leave as soon as possible."

Well, that's all for the first chapter. Please review! I'd love to know if you liked it, or have any constructive criticism. But no mean comments please‼ Next chapter is in Dave and Dirk's POVs. I actually already have it all written, so I'll type it up and post it sometime this week if people like this story.
