Chapter 1
Yuuki walked down the street and scanned the darkened road and alleyways. She could smell the scent of blood and lots of it in the air. As well as hear the scrambling of quick feet. Usually that meant one thing. There was a vampire/s and a fresh kill nearby. She followed the smell of blood and was led to an alley way. She could see a body of a homeless man lying limp. Kneeling down she could see he was dead. They had drained him completely dry. She noticed 3 sets of puncture marks and sighed. There were multiple vampires which meant she would have to track them all. Getting up she looked around for footprints or signs of where they might have gone. She stopped and listened. She pinpointed the direction. Putting her sword away and pulling out her mini bow she strapped it to her arm. She began loading a few arrows into it. She looked around for a ladder. She found it against the building.
"Just great this leads to apartments windows."
She hated to involve anyone in her work. It was something she didn't have time for. Especially those who couldn't defend themselves. Yuuki climbed past the windows and saw nothing was amiss. She sighed in relief. She hated to admit it but she had a soft spot for normal humans. It sometimes got her in bad places. Reaching the top, she jumped off the ladder, onto the roof top. She looked around. She could see where the vampires had used the roof to get away. She listened for any sounds. She heard shuffling and running to her right. She heard scratching against the building side. She realized then they were running around her; trying to ambush her. She readied her bow, walked towards the edge, and looked down. She jumped back and shot an arrow. As a vampire leaped off the building at her. Cursing, she realized she missed and got ready to aim again. She was looking around for signs of the vampire. She heard something swishing through the air. She dropped to her knees and spun around. One stood behind her and had thrown a small sword at her. She shot an arrow, and hit the vampire in the shoulder, as he jumped into the air. He dropped to the roof and screamed. He wouldn't get up soon. That arrow was laced with holy water and garlic. Yuuki heard something running behind her and she swung around and to see one charging her. Reacting quickly she got her sword out and jumped to the side. She swung beheading the vampire. She listened and heard the last vampire jump off the building. Cursing she followed and jumped off the building. Landing on her feet on the street. Yuuki could hear the vampire running and she looked around. She saw the outline of a figure leaning against the side of a building and approached the figure.
"Step out and show yourself."
Yuuki waited and a figure stepped out but it wasn't the vampire she had been chasing. It was another one. She raised her arm and aimed the bow but the vampire didn't move.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you. I'm not your enemy. Who are you?"
Yuuki looked at the stranger suspiciously and walked past him to look behind him. There laid the dead body of the vampire she had been chasing. Looking back to him he was not sure what to think.
"Who are you vampire? Why did you kill your own kind?"
"My name is Zero and I kill my own kind because I am a hunter."
Yuuki dropped her arm but was on her guard.
"My name is Yuuki."
Yuuki turned away and headed back to interrogate the vampire still alive. Maybe he knew where the elders were hiding. Zero watched her walk away and wondered what she was. She obviously wasn't human. He could tell by her aura but she also wasn't full vampire. Was it possible she was the danphir everyone had talked about for hundreds of years? Slipping into the shadows he left to do some research.
