Hunt

Everything in this world is hunted. We night-time beings are no exception. There are many hunter school all over the country; Teaching young and old the secret of our weaknesses and how to destroy us. Always coming up and equipping all hunters with new toys to use against us.

Heh, they think they're so smart. Little do they know that we are always one step ahead of them. The vampire population is huge and many go unnoticed by humans and hunters for years. Those vampires who haven't lost their human state of mind and don't get daily, or even weekly, blood cravings are sent to one of the schools. They report back to us yearly with any new findings. If something really important happens they just write to us in a coke only we can comprehend. To anyone else it looks like they're just writing to a family member. There have been a few instances where a vamp has caught but never has one been killed because of this arrangement. They escape back to our homeland and a replacement is sent a few weeks later.

Vampires are the only ones sent because we are the only ones who can pull it off. Werewolves have been sent but the monthly disappearances made it to obvious what they really were. Dragons of course can't be sent. The elves pointed ears and natural weaponry knowledge was an automatic give away same with the short stature and mean attitude of the dwarfs.

Look at me, ranting on and on. Now I'm just bragging. Though all of this is true. Very rarely are any of our night wandering friends ever killed by a member of any of these hunting schools. There is one hunter though, that is famous to all beings and known greatly throughout our realm.

His name is Sephiroth. The few who have seen him, and survived, say he has long silver hair, like mine, blue eyes, and always dressed in blood red and raven black clothing. This highly skilled hunter hates all of us but he is one of us. Sephiroth is a vampire. So he has great stalking abilities and can stay on your trail for years without you knowing. His favorite weapon is a long blade katana and has his own ways of spotting and killing us. Greatly feared by everyone, Sephiroth is the most powerful being alive besides Cloud and Leon. Cloud and Sephiroth used to be best friends and lovers until Leon. Leon, the most powerful vampire in the world and Cloud's secret lover.

It was to be Sephiroth and Cloud's 3 year anniversary and the night Sephiroth would propose to him. Cloud was already a werewolf by then and Sephiroth understood what that meant but he still wanted Cloud to be his. Just as he was getting down on one knee, Leon attacked and bit him. Sephiroth, a natural born fighter, ripped Leon from his neck and threw a punch at his face. In doing this, blood from Leon flew into his open and panting mouth thus changing Sephiroth into a vampire.

Sephiroth kept beating up Leon until he noticed that Leon wasn't fighting back. The dark-haired, muscular vampire was staring at Cloud. To make things even worse Cloud was staring right back with that look of love that he used to give Sephiroth all the time. Now that look was being given to someone else. The shock and blood loss finally took over and Sephiroth passed out. A week later he woke up in a bright white hospital room. Blinking, to get his eyes adjusted to the sudden bright amount of light, he looked around and found flowers and a note on the table next to his bed. It was from Cloud. Excitedly he opened the note and as he read the look in his eyes went from happy to sad to pure anger. The note read,

Dear Sephiroth

I love you and always will. Though I know after you read this, you will hate me.

I have found my soul mate. I hate to leave you but my love for him is undying

and you would no longer be happy with me. Good-bye my love.

Love always,

Cloud

From that moment on, Sephiroth swore vengeance on all vampires. Whenever he and Cloud cross paths there is a ferocious battle that leaves both inches from death. Leon avoids him whenever possible. No matter how much he wants to kill him for hurting Cloud so many times, Cloud tells him not go hunting for him and not to fight him. Cloud doesn't want Leon to get hurt, understanding this Leon leaves Sephiroth alone.

The last thing any of us wants in our long lives is to run into this killer. For we know, that if we do, our lengthened amount of time on this earth will be cut to the end right there and then.
