Chapter Twelve
Thera woke up the next day and looked around. She began to take a look around the place. The whole city was built like a fortress. The old male vampire appeared behind her and said, "I see you are up. Do you like the city my dear?" Thera jumped, turned around, sees him and nods some. She asks, "Why did your people make this city?"
The old man smiled and sat down on the ground. He says, "It's a long story but since you ask I will give the short version of it…long ago our numbers were rather high. Hunters would kill one or two of us a night. But one night, a half demon was born. He had all our strengths and barely any of our weaknesses. True he can't be out in the sun for more a week and has our thirst for blood. He chose to hunt us the more evil ones of his blood."
The old man to a breath before he continued on telling the story. "So as our number began to fall, we made this city. It is a shelter for vampires that need a place of peace or rest. The hunter does not come in here unless someone has a bounty on their head." Thera asks, "What is the hunter's name?" The old man says, "He just calls himself D."
Meanwhile back at the city where Thera was just at, a woman was walking around looking for her son. She was on a hill, when she noticed a dirt grave. She dug through the dirt and saw her son. The woman gasped and started to cry. She quickly ran to the police and told them to help her and that a vampire killed her son. A cop grabbed a memory scanner and the mother led them to the body.
The memory scanner was quickly placed above the boy's forehead. The scanner revealed the images of a vampire feeding off the boy's blood through his neck. The police did not know what to do. They had seen more people come and tell them that the same vampire had bitten them, but had not turned them. Still was a threat to them because she killed the one boy. One policeman decided to hire a hunter to kill the vampire.
It took D three days to get to the city. Although he was not the only hunter who had came. His price was larger than the other hunter but he had a better reputation for doing his job right. So they were willing to pay it. Hunter D set out on horseback to find the female vampire. He did not want to waste any time on this hunt.
