Chapter Four: Love at First Sight, Perhaps

Present day

Standing against the building, Peter gripped his green bottle. He looked around in total darkness and felt relaxed when the cool air blew around him. He watched a few people entering his building and some even acknowledged him as the 'magician' from his show. A lot of people just walked on by, minding their own business. He was surprised about how busy the area was, considering on how late it was. Peter lifted the bottle towards his lips but paused after someone catches his eye.

A woman was staring at him across the street from him. Her head was tilted and her pallid hands were in her pockets. The woman's hair was black and wispy. Peter lowered the bottle slightly as if he was captivated by the familiar striking woman. He caught her smile and was surprised he could see her dark eyes, even from where he was standing. "Elvira…" He muttered and the vampire smiled insanely as if hearing him. He dropped his bottle and heard it shatter. "I've been searching for you," he said darkly and as if on queue Elvira went away. He swiftly pulled out a stake from his inner pocket before running after her. "Oh, no you don't!"

As soon as he was behind her, Peter threw the stake at her and she turned on time to catch it. The woman began to walk backwards with an evil smile at the approaching man before her. "Well, well," she started menacingly and stopped next to the alley. She put her free hand on her hip and examined the deadly looking stake in her other. "I can see you've been busy," she told him and wiggled the weapon in her hand. "Killing the family."

"I told you I'll hunt down your kind and kill them."

"Yes," she drawled and tossed the stake carelessly. Elvira looked him up and down before stalking towards him. "Wow," she started and tilted her head in observation. "I've finally got a good look at you," she added and gave him a seductive smile. "Care to join the family, Peter?" She asked flirtingly and sensed anger radiating from him. "All your sorrow and pain will finally come to an end."

He grabbed her by the throat and she let out a surprised yelp. "I'll never join your disgusting family," he hissed and grabbed her shoulder with his other hand to stop her from escaping. "The one who slaughtered my parents," he started darkly and squeezed her neck tighter, she whimpered. "What was his name?"

Elvira didn't respond. She clawed his face and he released her with a yelp. The vampire ran down the alley and he followed after her filled with rage. The woman was unbelievably fast and he'd already lost her when she turned the corner.

Peter stopped breathlessly.

He leaned against the brick wall and grasped his face. "Fuck," he muttered and dropped his hands at his sides in defeat. Then he heard a noise and his hopes went up as he looked over hearing footsteps. Pushing himself off the wall, he looked around in darkness and walked a couple steps. He readied his hand over another stake hidden inside his jacket. As soon as he turned around, someone tackled him to the ground and had a stake positioned on his chest. He cried, "Ah, what the fuck?!"

Peter calmed a bit as he saw a woman staring down at him accusingly. She had bright green eyes and wavy brown hair. His gaze was locked on her gorgeous eyes and knew he'd never seen any woman so beautiful. "Thought you could get away from me, vampire?" She asked hatefully and the stake poked his chest even harder. "I got a sharp one ready for your luscious rubies."

"I'm not a vampire!" He told her angrily and saw confusion flash in her pretty eyes.

"Bullshit," She muttered and glared deeply at him. The brunette inhaled through her nose. "I can smell them on you; you reek of those disgusting fiends."

Peter glared at her. He whacked the stake out of her hand and grabbed her shoulders. He used his might to flip her over until he was on her and grabbed the stake. He jabbed it against her chest warningly. The woman was shocked and impressed at the same time. "You've gotta get your nose checked, sweetheart," He glared darkly into her surprised green eyes. "Never compare me to those fucking monsters!"

"Nice technique," she praised in a loss of words. The brunette stared at him and noticed he was gawking at her, his eyes lingered towards her chest. She glared in disapproval and smacked him. Seeing he was surprised, she rolled him over and went on him. "But you forgot one rule," She swiftly snatched the stake from his hand and positioned it over his chest. "Never let your guard down!" Peter ignored her and kept his eyes on her emerald ones. The woman narrowed her eyes curiously and finally noticed he couldn't keep his eyes off her whole body, it was almost as if he was checking her out. Scratch that, he was checking her out. She felt her cheeks reddening and shouted, "Stop that!"

A crunching noise was heard.

The woman looked over and stood after feeling a presence. Peter followed suit and looked around. They saw a man at the end of the alley and he was staring hungrily at them. The woman gripped the stake and glared darkly at him. Peter went to her and snatched the weapon from her hand. "I got this one, you run along."

"No!" She shouted and grabbed it from him with a warning glare. "I got this one, you get out of here!"

"You must be joking," he responded with a laugh and grabbed the stake but she didn't let go. Their hands were touching. "I got this, vampire slaying is too dangerous for you," he said and tried to tug it out of her grip, but she was strong. He ordered, "Let go."

"No!" She shouted with a bit of attitude and pulled it towards her but his hold was strong as well. The brunette looked down at the stake and paused after seeing their hands were touching. The woman felt a strange sensation at the pit of her stomach and looked up at the smirking Peter. He was giving her a seductive look.

The brunette gave him a confused look. "You have soft hands," he said lovingly and she grimaced before releasing the stake in disgust, but she was secretly flushing. "That's what I thought," he muttered and glared over at the approaching vampire. "Come and get me." The woman knitted her eyebrows and looked down at the cold cement in bewilderment. Her heart was fluttering and she felt butterflies in her stomach. The brunette doesn't know what she was feeling but she had a strange vibe that she saw him somewhere before.

The vampire rushed at him.

Before he could even strike, Peter felt claws piercing through his chest. He cried out while falling from the impact and grabbed his chest in pain. The woman caught the stake he flung and dashed towards the predator. She hopped on his hunched back and the vampire flailed around. Peter watched them weakly and was amazed at the brunette's agile moves. It was almost inhuman. The strange woman stabbed his chest to weaken him, missing the heart on purpose.

The vampire was down and the lady kicked him with a lot of force to get him on his back. The monster hissed and she hurriedly stabbed his heart. The woman pulled away and watched as the vampire turned to ashes. She was suddenly lost in thought and felt the familiar breeze running through her hair. The brunette closed her eyes feeling saddened tears.

Peter groaned and sat up slowly while he was still covering his chest. The woman shook herself out of her memories and ran over to him. "Where did you learn to move like that?" He asked roughly and grimaced, moving was painful. The brunette helped him up and carefully wrapped her arms around him, supporting him. "I'm fine, I got it."

She ignored him and examined the wounds on his chest. She saw four claw marks that were leaking blood. The woman looked up at him in disbelief and shook her head. "You're hurt," she told him and hunched over as he was leaning on her. He was literally close to her head that she could actually sense him. Her green eyes went wide and looked him over in examination. "Where do you live?" Peter pointed to the tall building across the street and the woman made sure to keep her hold on him so he won't fall from amount of blood lost. She walked him across the street and he weakly looked over at her. His gaze fell on her chest. The brunette groaned in annoyance as she felt his eyes on her. "Eyes forward, Sunshine."

He looked away smugly.
