This chapter was inspired by the Witcher 3 Trailer 'A night to remember.'
Somewhere in Norway:A beautiful woman with red hair, wearing a dress and cloak looked up to the nights sky singing an old song near the bank of the river.
"Wolves asleepin' midst the trees, Bats all aswayin' in the breeze, But one soul lies anxious, wide awake, Fearin' all manners of ghouls, hags and wraiths." She sang.
"That's a nice song. Been awhile since I heard that one." The teen known as Hellboy said, putting bullets into his gun. The ends of his coat flowing in the air.
"Most of the folks here had forgotten it." She remarks, as if she had expected him to come as she calmly picked up a handmade doll.
"They have...Other things on their minds."
" Things like me?" She asked the half demon, turning to him and undoing her red hair.
"I was sent here for you." Hellboy said, unfazed as he was finished putting the last bullet inside his gun and pointed it at her.
Said woman smiled and continued to undress walking with a very calm expression as the young half-demon narrowed his eyes at her. "Times past, no one with the amount of courage like you, would convince a halfbreed to take this job."
"Times changed lady. Now you can either come quietly or we do this the hard way. Frankly I don't give a damn."
"Yes they have. Haven't they?" The lady asked still smiling, still undressing.
But just when Hellboy pulled the trigger, she transformed into something invisible and quickly disappears into the nearby barn.
Hellboy turned to look at the nearby barn that was old and abandoned and couldn't help but rub his eyes. "Ah, crap." he said, as he grabbed a nearby wood cutting axe and followed her inside.
Once he was in, he looked around and saw she was nowhere to be seen. "Come on out lady, I'm not in the mood to play hide and seek." He said, pointing his gun around and losing his patients.
He then slowly grabbed a glass ball from his utility belt, and looked around to see where the lady was. He then heard a creak coming from the open attic of the barn and threw the ball at her. Small specks of glitter like silver spread around the room, which eventually revealed the lady's presence as she fell to the ground.
She charged at him and Hellboy threw a left hook, but she unsurpisingly caught it. He then took another swing with his axe, which she easily dodged. He continued to swing his weapon at her, which she kept dodging.
She then started to attack, which made Hellboy narrowly dodge, but she soon got up to his face and stabbed him with her long fingernails. Hellboy grunted in pain but took the chance, as he grabbed her by the neck with his demonic hand and slammed her to the ground. He swung his axe down, attempting to behead her, which she also dodged and turned invisible.
Hellboy looked around, clutching his wound trying to see where she went off to. But he was met with a wagon, which was thrown at him and knocked him to the ground.
While he was dazed the lady who was defintlly a vampire took this chance to disarm him and started to throw him around the barn.
"Son of a-" Hellboy said while getting thrown, until finally getting slammed face first on the ground. "-Bitch."
He groaned as he struggled to get up. But the vampire managed to get behind him and bite down on his neck. He pushed her off of him and she hissed at the paranormal investigator.
but due to his demonic blood, she started to fell like her entire body was on fire. She roared at Hellboy with rage and was punched by a giant ghostly fist to the other side of the barn.
Hellboy grabbed his axe, and when she charged at him he dodged her swipe, grabbed her arm, and cut it clean off. He then swiped her in the face with the axe and punched right outside of the barn doors.
The vampire thrashed around and pitifully tried crawling away. Hellboy, in pain, followed behind her and shot her a few times with his gun, preparing to stab her with his stake, but he collapsed alongside her, seeing her in her human form, and he could've sworn he still heard her sing.
'Birds are silent for the night, Cows turned in as daylight dies. But one soul lies anxious wide awake. For the hunter, brave and bold. Paid in coin or gold. He'll chop and slice you, cut and dice you. Eat. You. Up. Whole. Eat. You. Whole.'
And with that song ended, he passed out.
A few hours later:'Hellboy. Hellboy. Hellboy respond.' A static voice said, which made Hellboys eyes open.
He looked at his target who was now a shiviled corpes. She must've burned in the morning sun.
'Hellboy do you copy?'
"Yeah, I hear you loud and clear Abe." He groaned, talking in his walki-talki.
'Oh, thank God you're alright. And here I thought I'd have to tell the proffesor that you died. Speaking of which, did you get her?'
"Let's just say... She's got a little burned out." Hellboy joked, which earned a groan from Abe.
'Well at least she won't be killing any villigers anytime soon.'
"Yeah, listen. I'm gonna go to the nearest town and get me an Asprin and some breakfeast. I'll catch ya later." He said, turning the device off.
He then look at the nearest town and began to walk in that direction, enjoying the peace and quiet.
