I'm just posting this to see how much interest is in this for now because I'm writing it at the moment and want to know whether to continue or skip to another of my project.

Please leave a Review if interested.

He was running, dodging past the few students who were on their way back to their dorms. Something was following him but he wasn't quite sure what it was. Actually, he was pretty sure that it was human – or at least it should have been. That thing was anything but human though and he had to admit that he was scared.

Barry had been on the way to the library when the back of his neck prickled. He might be a little bit oblivious to things sometime but that didn't mean that he didn't realise when someone was following him. Over the next ten minutes, the feeling had intensified until he had seen something. It was like a blur in an alley that ran alongside the road he was taking. That was when he had started running.

"Woah, careful," a girl laughed when he basically ploughed into her.

"I…" Barry looked around nervously, panting heavily. Maybe he should try to get in shape. He felt like he was about to die "Sorry. There was."

The girl waved him off "No harm, no foul." She smiled at him "I have to get going, so…"

"Right, sorry," Barry apologised, stepping to the side. He looked after her, having noticed the light accent that wasn't quite British. While the university of Central City was a good university, they didn't have as many international students and the girl looked barely old enough to attend university anyway. Then again, it could have been the braid that made her look younger than she was. That and he was crap at judging girls' ages just by looking at them.

He shook his head and continued on for a few more meters before he felt something grab him from behind, slamming him into the next wall. Barry let out a sharp scream when something pierced his neck.

Sif had just walked away from the guy that had run into her, searching for that thrice-damned vampire that had been killing people. Normally she didn't really care much if others were trying to expose themselves but this specific vampire was from a group that she had a bit of a grudge against. They had been around for several centuries and were of the mindset that they could do no wrong and Humans were too stupid to put one and one together.

"Ahhh." The scream made her whirl around and smirk darkly. There you go. Right on time.

She ran off into the direction the scream had come from before roughly pulling the vampire off the guy "You really shouldn't have done that," she whispered, twirling the stake in her hand "You really, really should have been more careful. You never know when someone might try and take care of the problem." The vampire bared his teeth at her, trying to fight against the tight grip she had on him. A groan startled Sif out of her glaring match "Well, so much for that." She narrowed her eyes on the vampire and quickly plunged the stake into his heart.

"What… was…?" Barry breathed, his hand clutching at his throat.

"A vampire," she pointed out "Come on. Up you get." She held out her hand, helping him to his feet "I'm Sif, by the way."

"Barry," he mumbled, swaying unsteadily.

She blinked "Oh, right. Blood." She bit into her wrist, not caring that he saw her vampire features. Sif had a feeling that she would have to explain whether she outed herself or not "Drink this. Don't look at me like that. It'll heal you even if it sounds disgusting."

"What the hell?" he asked as soon as he felt the blood working "What's going on here?"

"It's a long story," Sif grimaced.
