Author's notes

Alright, I finally have been able to rewrite what I lost for this story...although its not the same thing I wrote, but its better than nothing. I'll possibly work on this story since I have a lot more ideas wrote down, so yay. I am out of this problem and hope that nothing goes wrong. :D


The newspaper articles sat still on the table as the two hunters had gathered their thoughts on the info written in ink in the 18th century on scrolls to now by computer, the fiend they're dealing with has been alive for all those centuries, possibly evolving rapidly by the minute with the taste for human flesh growing each time. The hunters of the passed had no way of catching it til now, yet its still terrors people and eludes them again.

"What now? Still at a dead end with no suspects in mind til that machine's done analyzing the blood sample."

"We'll just have to keep at it til that comes with such," The Swede shrugged.

Tougou sighed while rubbing the back of his head. "Man, who knew such a case like this would be that much trouble chasing a vampire who has been alive for centuries, not only that, the higher-ups believe it to be that kind."

"I don't know much about it, just small pieces from rumors stating it feeds from both species for blood."

"Did those higher-ups tell you that? I swear those guys are stating bedtime stories to scare us to death," Tougou chuckled.

"Yeah, they told me to keep watch while hunting for it."

"From what I heard through the rumors buzzing around HQ about that one guy that died, some believed it to be the bite of that said creature. But you know rumors are rumors."

"Is there proof? I mean, he could have gotten attack by a vampire."

"Yeah, the corpse's body is back in HQ. I took a look at it, the fang marks on his neck are slightly bigger than the normal vampire's. Which I find to be quite strange for a creature of the same to be so different from the others."

Hm, it sounds strange to just keep the corpse as evidence despite the teeth marks, but they must have burned it once they obtained photo evidence and/or DNA. Since Lee was nowhere to be found to thank him for, as if they didn't know where he went with the woman he sweet talked with, the two decided to ditch him despite it not technically ditching someone who was having fun and forgot about helping. Awaiting for the results of the blood sample from Michelle, they decided to go on break and eat some take out to drain out this waiting.

But it wouldn't be quick like they thought.


Michelle sat in front of the analyzing machine with the hatch door open in the back to the many gears and small gadgets that lie within it, irritated to no end trying to find out the reason why its not able to scan and give her the blood sample it belong to in the vampire family. So far it showed nothing but the same words. And this was very confusing, maybe the mechanic may know if the machine's broken. But he was here before a few months ago and it was working then, darn Lars and Tougou for giving her some crazy blood sample. She sighed as this turns out to be a standstill on the case.

"Mom, what are you doing to the machine?" Julia wonder while kneeling down with Michelle. "I thought the mechanic looked through this already.."

Michelle sighed. "He did, but this blood sample I got from Lars and Tougou, its not reading it and giving me a valuable answer on where it lies."

"Strange." Julia mumbled, adjusting her red glasses. "If the machine's ok, then we should try again."

"If that doesn't work, then what?"

"Hrm, we can try the old method and compare it with the notes I was about to show you with."

It couldn't hurt to do that. Both Michelle and Julia used the machine one last time, only to receive the same words which became quite annoying to find one species of vampire this blood belong to. So, they had to go with the last resort, breaking out the microscopes from the large, metal cabinet and setting them on the table. Dabbing one drop of water onto the slot and blood with the i drop, placing it under the scope to take a look at, Michelle was surprised about what she saw on the sample, a mixture of both human and vampire cells in one place. The cells stayed in their area, not one attempted to eat the other. This is strange. No wonder why the machine never picked up anything, it would only analyze the vampire cells to tell the species, but never once in a day anyone would see a shared cells of both vampire and human. Interesting.

"So judging from the amount of cells we're looking at, it looks equal without disrupt." Michelle muttered while writing down the notes.

"No wonder why the machine wasn't able to analyze the sample," Julia sighed, so much problems being part of the forensic team hunting vampires and what not. "The confusion of these cells wouldn't read it."

"Now we know what this sample carries, but the problem still lies of what kind of vampire would have both cells without one cancelling out the other to make room." Michelle wondered while Julia looked over the notes. They ended up finding out what the machine could not, but now it only leads them baffled even more than the last case where a few casualties were lying dead and the culprit being a vampire, whom fled from the scene. Couldn't find him/her til eventually that fiend was caught trying to strike again. The brunette picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Julia looked up from the notes as of leaning on the table. "Who are you calling?"

"The ones that found this blood sample and brought it to me to figure out." Julia nodded and resumed back to looking through the notes.

Hello?
Its Michelle.
Oh hey, have you found anything good related?
There are some good news and bad news.
What's the good news? Were you able to find out about the blood sample?
Yes. That is the good news, we had to resort to the old method.
We?
Yeah, me and my daughter, Julia.
Ah, I see. Then what's the bad news?
The reason why the machine wasn't able to pick it up is because there are both human and vampire cells.
