Chapter 2

The Secret Vampire Hunter

Author POV

No one knew what happened after that besides Ben. This part of his life was completely dark, and never was destined to find a light.

Yes, the dream was a memory.

A memory which highlights how bad can a vampire attack be.

Past time

After the ceremony of his parents, 5-year Ben stood near their grave, trying to hold his tears. No one believed on him, but he was still firm on his statement.

Even grandpa Max tried to confront him that it was otherwise. But, while the time, no one could hear the silent vow he took 'I will surely find out about this one'. Yes, he expected that it may be an alien attack, but it wasn't.

While on the Rust bucket, he saw someone peeking up from the forest and seemed that he was calling him. He then got off the RB (Rust bucket) but when he ran a few steps, he suddenly felt two hands grabbing him and within a second he reached to the forest. The man then let him down and asked "Are you okay?"

Ben looked up, wanting to see his face whoever called him off his RB. He had blonde hair, which reminded him of his mom. He mostly looked like he was Russian. He didn't know the man. He never saw or met him. But when he saw his eyes, he slowly backed away in fear.

He was one of them. Who killed his parents.

His mind kept screaming 'Run! Get away from him!' He was scared. Why, it was unknown. But he knew better. If he would run, something bad would happen. They might threaten him to keep this a secret. So he stood there, giving a glare to the man. But, of course, it didn't do anything to the other man.

He was surprised. He couldn't believe that the boy, a small boy who witnessed the death of his parents in the front of his own eyes, was even capable of just glaring at him. He wasn't even running, which a normal kid would do. He was impressed, really impressed.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard the angry voice of the boy. He couldn't make out whatever as his mind was elsewhere. But the boy repeated it again, reason unknown, and this time he could make it out clearly, "What do you want?"

The man kneeled his right leg down, leaving the other leg in a sitting position. He let his hand towards the boy, who instead backed away. Then he held his hand out a little more further, but this time, the boy somehow stood there and let his hand on his shoulder.

He asked, in a friendly and calm manner, "Ben, is it?" Ben nodded. He again spoke, "Do you believe what happened at your home that day?" Ben instantly knew whatever happened and slowly tears started to form in his eyes, but he shut his eyes, stopping it from falling and nodded. The man again asked, "Who or what do you think did this?" Ben paused a bit. His eyes showed anger, towards them and the man in front of the man whom he didn't knew, but rather answering it, he asked, "Who are you and why are you asking this?"

The man never expected the question. He knew that he might have to tell him but he never thought that it would come this fast. Somewhere in his mind, Ben was impressing him more and more.

The man replied, "I am Samuel Jackson, but you may call me Sam." He paused for some time, looking into his eyes, and then spoke, "Please Ben, I want to know."

"A vampire" Ben answered, eyes looking at the ground. Ben added, "You either must think me insane or-" "Ben, I know it must be hard but whatever you think is true."

Ben looked up, not expecting it. He has totally forgot that he might be a vampire. He was really confused that how it might be, and asked, "W-Wha-How? But they said-"

Sam again cut in "And you believe whatever others say? Look, they don't know about us, or the Vampire Verum, so they think that it's a myth. But we are real. We m-" Sam was cut by the panicking voices of the people, including his cousin Gwen and his Grandpa Max. He changed the subject by saying, "Ben, I think it's time for you to go. They are searching for you." Ben turned around to see others searching for him. He turned around to see Sam, but was surprised that he was still here. He stood and looked towards Ben, and said, "Its time for you to go. But before that, remember, both of them, Sarah and Charlie, are really sorry for your loss."

Ben, in the first time in a few days, smiled and said, "Okay, see you next time."

The man too smiled in return and let Ben get back to them. He really was wondering how an accident matured the boy before it was necessary. He could clearly hear him make an excuse for it, and the people were just satisfied with it. He really felt bad for the boy, he was orphaned beforehand, and he really hoped that they didn't treat him that bad.

Sam continuously paid visits to Ben. Many times, the guild was annoyed with him disappearing like this without telling them, but they know that he cared for him. He never wanted anyone to face this, let alone a small boy. But, someone had to.

They didn't expect Ben to forgive him as soon as he met them. They never expected something like this to happen, but it did. The one whom they hurt, unintentionally but still hurt, forgave them. That really took a burden off from their chest.

Ben, after finding out everything about vampires, took the job of a vampire hunter, and the youngest member of the Vampire Verum. But not the ordinary ones, he killed only those who drank human blood. He kept his identity a secret, by creating a hunter name 'Bennoni Tennifer'. After the accident, he never wanted anyone to have to face anything like this. So he started to somehow get his hands on pure silver, the only thing through which the vampires can't heal in a super fast rate, and made four blades. Two, hidden in his rubber plate of his shoes, and two at his upper arms, always hidden by his jacket. He also accepted the fact that he will be turned at the age of seventeen, because at that age he will be officially a part of the guild.

Present time

"Ben, where have you been all this time?" Rook asked angrily to Ben, who came home late after killing another vampire who was trying to kill a small boy who was poor. He helped him up and sends him back to his home, which took him two hours, and he returned at 02:24 am.

"I wanted to check the town! Can't I even do that?" Ben exclaimed angrily, annoyed at his unremarkable worry. Then he mumbled to himself "As a precaution" Rook ignored whatever he said, and spoke, "Okay, go to sleep now."

Ben replied jokingly, "Okay Mom" and walked towards his room.

Geez…wrote this in one day! Well, you can see the changes. Ben is an orphan, but is living in his original house. And you have noticed that Rook is acting like his mom, but that's because when he heard that Ben's parents were killed…you know! And a small gift for the patient followers:

Next chapter: …I thought that I will give a summary…but I myself don't know where should I take it…so sorry guys…

Anyways…tab tak te liye…bye!
