Lucia dodged a Ghoul that tried to attack her. She looked at the monster in front of her. It had pale skin, some of it was rotting and had maggots eating it. Its clothes were ripped and dirty, not to mention blood covered. Its hair was falling out and part of its skull was showing. Its teeth, all seven of them, were yellow and sharp. It had blood around its mouth and on its hands, probably just killed an animal. Its hands had long, sharp, claw like nails. Lucia looked at the eyes. Black and soulless, there was only one thing on its mind... Feast. The Ghoul ran at Lucia with its arms seemingly having a mind of their own and swing randomly, trying to grab something to devour. Lucia dodged it and grabbed it by its shirt and threw it to the ground. Lucia was surprised by her sudden burst of strength. Just a few days ago, she was on the brink of death and now she is throwing hands and fighting with ease. The Ghoul got up and tried to slice its nails at Lucia. She easily avoided it, again surprised by her sudden speed.

"Alright, time to see what else I can do." Lucia said.

The Ghoul ran at her again and she rolled out of the way of it. She kicked it in the back and grabbed its head. She started to slam its head into the ground.

"Take that you asshole!"

Lucia was so focused on the one she was fighting; she was unaware that Ghouls... always travel in groups. Another one came up behind her and bit down on her shoulder. Lucia screamed in pain as the mindless monster tried to bite her bone. She elbowed the Ghoul and it was knocked back. Lucia put her hand on the wound and pulled back.

"My blood is black... that is honestly the least disturbing part of my day."

Lucia tackled the other Ghoul and held it down.

"You aren't the only one that likes the taste of flesh."

Lucia starts to bite down on the Ghoul's neck. She started to rip it apart, piece by piece. The other Ghoul finally got up and ran at her. It tried to attack Lucia, but it was stabbed by a large blade. Lucia got up and looked at the person that just saved her.

"Word of advice, a Ghoul always travels in groups, so watch your back when fighting them." The mask man said.

He wiped blood off his blade and put it away.

"Who are you?" Lucia asked.

"I'm an ally. I also know you're Luz's older sister." He said, "And before you ask, I saved her a little bit before she saved you."

"Something tells me that... this isn't a social visit."

"This is the seventh Ghoul I've killed. They have been extinct for almost a millennium, but I've doubted that for a while, this just adds to my suspicion. I have an idea, but I need more proof before I could confirm it." There was a Ghoul's cry in the distance, "I recommend you get back to your house, they'll need you."

"Why?"

"Ghouls are the only known creature to eat vampire flesh. Their bite has a venom that can cause physical pain to a Vampire." He said, looking her over, "A Cannibal like you should be fine though, your wound already healed."

Lucia looked at her shoulder and saw that he was right, her shoulder was almost completely healed.

"How did you know I'm-" She looked at where he was standing and he was gone, "A Cannibal."

Lucia ran back to the Owl House, she needed to tell Luz about this. When she arrived, she saw one of Luz's friends. The small girl with silver hair.

"Lucia, you're back!" Luz said.

The Vampire came over and hugged the Cannibal.

"Hey, Luz, what's your friend doing here?"

"Skara came over to give me a folder that she wasn't able to earlier. Why?"

"She's going to be spending the night now." Lucia said, "Hey, Eda? Have you ever heard of Ghouls?"

There was a shattering sound coming from the kitchen. The second Eda heard the word Ghoul, she became incredibly scared and dropped the bowl. She learned a lot during her brief time as a Vampire Hunter, she experienced and learned several things. One thing was that Ghouls are dangerous and unpredictable. Capable of ripping someone to pieces in seconds among a small group. She immediately walked to the living room.

"Why the hell do you know about them?"
