Episode 1: A first for everything! Going into the Night
This was a special time for Amy at the moment, tonight she will go on her first slaying trip with her brother. Although they are twins Tracey is one minute older than her, and she hasn't had experience going into that forsaken city. She was a little bit scared of going out into the city right now, her father looked at her knowing that this wasn't a good showing.
"Amy you mustn't show fear tonight with your brother, vampires can since this and try to come closer towards you. You have your mother's cross on for protection, that ought to give you some bravery for now. Tracy is going with you as well since I don't like it if you go alone, trust me you will do fine with your first night out of the house. Although your grandmother is a tad bit worried she understands, now you two get going we don't have much time to wait now." nodding in unison they both went into the night.
Amy was wearing a slayer's dress for the first time, it was a tad bit to short for her taste but her mother wore something like this. Finally reaching the city they were about to get started on their hunting, they were on Bourbon Street checking their surroundings quite well. Checking her gear Amy brought a makeup mirror with her before she left the place, although she didn't know the reason for it she would know soon.
"Tracy..." she spoke as he looked behind his back.
"You have any advice for me before I start? At least I'll get a heads up from you and father." Tracy looked at his sister as he put his hand on her bare shoulder.
"Yes I do have some advice for you, trust me this will keep you alive. Father said don't show fear to them at all, once they sense that they will be all over you. Next don't look into their eyes for a second, they will have you under their spell which is hard to get out off. Also to never let your guard down ever for a second, it will bring the end for you I've almost learn the hard way in that..." he we cut short as Amy looked at the makeup mirror.
"This make up mirror I have to use this as well, I thought vampires didn't have reflections brother?" Tracy nodded at her silently.
"Yes they don't but this will save you a lot of times, this isn't just used for makeup it's also used to see if someone is behind you. He holding it look at it closely as you hold hit behind your ear, if you see it fogging up a little you know they're behind you. That all I can tell you since you must experience this, however don't try to do too much by yourself Amy. If your in trouble scream as loud as you can, that way I can come to your location and give you some breathing room." Amy nodded going into the night quietly.
Looking all around Amy knew that she was a good target, all off a sudden a sound comes from across the street. She stops on a dime just to check the surroundings, it was just a cat coming out of the ally. After feeling a bit jumpy she continued down the ally silently, stopping on a dime she heard hissing coming from the distance. Amy was a bit jittery at the time looking around, yet she calmed down getting her mirror out to see what was behind her. When she saw a bit of fog coming to the mirror she didn't turn around, like a flash she was yanked violently from behind. She thought it was just one stalking her around softly, however what she didn't know that it was about three of them. She was able to keep one of them away from her, yet the other too kept coming towards her. Giving a loud scream she had to make a hasty retreat, yet they still were in pursuit of her.
Luckily her brother was near by as he came running, he was able to hit them with specially made bullets his father uses. For Amy this was a bit too close for comfort with that encounter, Tracy giving her a small smile just to give her some encouragement.
"That was way too close for my taste, how do you keep calm in that situation?" Tracy looked up at his sister softly.
"Oh I don't try to attack more than I can handle, trust me I have friends in high places out here. Besides New Orleans maybe changing but the old ways still hang on, just keep calm about things you'll do just fine out here." Amy was a bit puzzled by his response.
"Friends?...You never told me about your friends, when are you going to introduce them to me?" Tracy shook his head giving a small smirk.
"You'll meet them when you get the chance to, besides enough talk we have some slaying to do remember." Amy knew her brother well.
They split up again as they do always to finish the job they had, once it was eleven o'clock they decided to call it a night. Amy was tired already from a long nights work with scrapes and cuts, yet she did good for her first night.
"You did well tonight sis despite the cuts and bruises, don't worry you'll get used to the sleepiness once you go out by the second night. Trust me all you need is a little shooting practice and you'll be all set, come on our father's waiting we can't make him worry." Amy followed him back to their home.
The night will get longer as they continue to work, yet there is one thing to be certain things will be tough from here on out.
