Disclaimer: The disclaimers are in the first two chapters. From now on just go there to see them.

Note: Sorry about the delay in chapters but I've been sick. So sick that I had to drop out of college and get tests and crap done. I will try to put out more chapters more often.

Chapter Three

He was the ultimate hunter. Strength, stealth, enhanced senses, all were his to command. But it wasn't these things that made him the best. No, it was the mind set that put him apart from all the others.

They had called him a psychopath, but that wasn't true. A psychopath killed not knowing the difference between right and wrong. The closest description of himself was a sociopath. He knew the difference between right and wrong, he just didn't care.

It was the fact that he had no conscience that made him unstoppable. He would do anything to bring his prey down. It sometimes resulted in useless death, but what did he care? Death was something beyond him.

At one time he wasn't like this. He had a family once. A wife, kids, even a dog, but that was all gone now. Taken away by his Sire. He didn't regret it. It had set him free. The first thing he had done after his Sire had Cured him was go to his menial job and share his freedom with his co-workers.

They resisted at first, like he did, but when they were also Cured, they followed him like lovesick puppies. He never found out the name of his Sire or where he went after the Cure, but he knew that he was out there, watching, waiting for the time when his Chylde had proven his love.

Then they would be reunited, as Sire and Chylde, and the heavens would tremble at their names.

As Angel traveled in the sewers beneath the colony he suppressed a shiver. Wondering why a sense of foreboding entered his being, he quickened his steps. Only a few hours of daylight left before he would return to the surface. Best to keep moving till then.

"Ok see here is the problem we face." Duo Maxwell's face went placid for one second then resumed its usual joviality.

"See most of the old myths and legends about vampires aren't true. In fact I have no idea how they got started in the first place. Vampires can't be killed by anything less than beheading or anything silver through their hearts."

Heero looked up from the vid-screen. "What about stakes?"

Duo chuckled "Try that and you get a very pissed vamp coming after you with a stick protruding out of him."

"Holy Artifacts?" Heero asked.

"Well if they were blessed by Christ himself yes, but do you know anyone nowadays with the powers of God? Anyway Holy Water does sting them but that's it. Personally I think the only reason it does is because the alter boys pissed in it."

"Exactly how strong are they?" Said Heero quietly.

Duo mused thoughtfully for a second and said, "Well it differs on the vamp itself. Those just turned can be anywhere from four to five times the strength of humans. That's when they are turned by normal vamps. They get stronger with age. If a vamp is five hundred years old, well lets just say they aren't called Masters for nothing."

Heero frowned. "What about those who are turned by vampires who aren't normal?"

"Well the only a turning isn't normal is when a Master turns someone. When that happens the new vamp gets half the powers of the Master. That makes him sort of a mini-master if you will." Duo spouted while digging in a drawer next to Heero.

"How is that not normal?" Heero asked.

"Man don't you every stop with the questions?" Duo looked up.

"Know thy enemy." Heero quoted.

Duo sighed, "Right, right. The reason it isn't normal is that Masters almost never turn a person. They consider it to be below there status. Besides that would mean in a few hundred years they would have someone with powers that rival there own. Survival of the fittest is the motto."

After rummaging around in the drawer for a bit Duo popped up with a disk.

"Here," Duo said handing Heero the disk. "This is everything there is to know about vamps and their kind. Also it holds info about how some of the earlier Masters were put to rest."

Standing up completely Duo started pushing Heero towards the door.

"Well there ya go, if ya need me call me tomorrow, but as for tonight I plan on getting some loving."

With that Duo shut the door and ran to his room to take a shower, hangin with Heero was fun but always made him feel a bit dirty afterwards.

"Cause the he doesn't shower often the smelly dope."
