-Chapter 2-
I had returned to HQ about a half an hour later and I told BLADE about what had happened.
Unfortunately he didn`t believe me.
"I`m serious, she remembered me," I tried to tell him.
"You don`t know that. It could be a set-up, after all, you did tell her all that
information while we were at the nightclub," he responded.
"I know, but I know Gabby, she isn`t lying or trying to set us up."
"You know Gabby as a human, not a vampire. What do you think will happen when she gets
a thirst for blood?"
I tried to reassure myself after the last thing BLADE said, but he was right. I knew
Gabby when she was a human, now as a vampire, she might as well be a stranger. I finally agreed.
"Ok ok, maybe you`re right," I said, "so what do we do?"
"We will give it a few days. If she doesn`t show any sign that she`s telling the truth
I`m not going to hesitate to kill her, but if she does show a sign of any change..."
"So you think I`m lying, is that it?" BLADE was interrupted by a female voice. We both
looked up and saw Gabby standing on the rafters. I felt relief, but took into consideration
what BLADE just said. Gabby jumped down from the rafter and landed infront of me and BLADE.
"So, you think that just because I told Matt those things after he gave me all of that
information, that I`m trying to trap you somehow," Gabby said pacing back and forth.
"How are we supposed to know?" BLADE asked her. Gabby then stopped pacing and looked at
BLADE.
"How else would I know that about a year ago you lost your partner in the war against the
vampires?"
"That doesn`t mean a thing, vampires remember anything from their vampire life," BLADE
mentioned. I just stood back and hoped that Gabby could convince BLADE.
"Yes, BLADE, you`re right about that, so I guess I can`t convince you..." Gabby said. I
was starting to get a little worried, maybe she was lying.
"But on the other hand, how would I know that those two police officers tried to kill me
and Matt? Or when his car battery died over a year ago and that tall man came to help us?"
As the smile on my face grew bigger, I looked at BLADE, but he still had the same look on
his face. Gabby continued.
"But I recently realized that that man was Viscortho. So, I have one more 'bit of
evidence' that only Matt and me know. Two and a half years ago, July 17th, me and Matt first met,
at the rave called Blackout. We first noticed each other at the bar, remember Matt?"
I smiled and nodded. "How could I forget?" I stood there and looked into Gabby`s eyes,
while she looked back at me.
"Maybe you are telling the truth, but we still can`t be too sure," BLADE said.
"Yes, I know. But Gabby, how can you know so much of that? Are you human again?" I asked.
Gabby chuckled. "No, I`m still a vampire. That night after the club I spent the entire
night thinking, until it entered my head, all those memories from my human life. I didn`t realize
how much I had missed those thoughts."
Gabby checked her sunblock.
"Well I`m relieved," I said. Gabby glanced at me and smiled. "So what are we going to do?
Are you on our side now?"
"I`m sorry, that`s not..." Gabby started, but was interrupted by BLADE.
"No, she can`t join us, it would be too risky," BLADE said.
"Then when?" I asked.
"Not too long from now," Gabby said, "Viscortho is planning on visiting a night club two
weeks from now, Club 21 at midnight, you should be able to kill him if you attack quickly."
"Why would you tell us this?" BLADE asked Gabby, "Vampires are always loyal to their
master."
"True, vampires are loyal to their masters, but Viscortho isn`t my master. You have
probably noticed by now that I am always around four women. The one with long black hair, Ivory,
is my master. Viscortho is her master," Gabby described.
"So you are telling us this because of her?" I asked Gabby.
"In a way, yes. You see, Ivory wants to become the strongest vampire, with Viscortho in
the way that will never happen for her. She never says she wants him dead, but I can tell that
she does."
"Well you tell Ivory that if she wants to be the strongest vampire she won`t just have to
kill Viscortho, she`ll have to kill me," BLADE said.
I could see that Gabby started to get mad. "Well maybe when you go to kill Viscortho I
will kill you in the process."
BLADE quickly drew his automatic handgun and fired at Gabby. With her great speed she
easily dodged and jumped up onto the rafter.
"BLADE, if you decide to go to Club 21 to kill Viscortho, watch your back," Gabby said.
With that she jumped through the skylight and was gone.
"What the hell are you thinking?!" I asked BLADE.
As I said that BLADE kicked me in the chest. I fell to the floor and BLADE aimed his gun
at me. "What are you thinking? Are you siding with the vampires?" BLADE asked me.
"Not the vampires, just Gabby," I said as I sat up.
BLADE just stood there, aiming the gun at me. A few seconds later, he put his gun away
and walked out. I stood up and grabbed my chest as a sharp pain went through it. ::What was going
to happen?:: I asked myself. Would Gabby kill BLADE, or vice versa? Will BLADE still decide to go
to the nightclub to kill Viscortho, after what Gabby told him?
Later that day, while I was cleaning off my butterfly knife, BLADE finished his training
and walked into the room I was in.
"Still carry around that puny knife?" BLADE asked me.
"Never know when I might need it," I responded. Setting the knife down on the table I
got up from the chair and leaned against the table.
"So, what are we going to do about this thing at the nightclub?" I asked.
"What do you think?" BLADE asked.
"Well, are we going to go? Will we still kill Viscortho after what Gabby said?"
BLADE turned and faced me. "This is a war, a war that isn`t going to end unless the
vampires die, or we die. We are going to stick to the plan and kill Viscortho. If any other
vampire, including Gabby, try to get in the way of that, expect me to put them out of their
misery."
For the next week we did what we do best, wiping out vampires at the clubs. We got to a
club and made our way in, apperently the vampires were too busy dancing to notice us. BLADE
stayed at the entrance while I pushed my way through the crowd toward the DJ booth. The DJ was
too busy with the music so I was able to sneak up to him without any problems.
"This area is for DJs only," the DJ said to me, still looking down at the turn-tables.
With that I pulled my Sig 229 from my jacket and shot one round, blowing the headphones
off of the DJ. I stepped over the lifeless body and unloaded three more rounds into the console.
As the music suddenly stopped all of the vampires looked up at the booth.
"Well damn, looks like this party died," I shouted out in an attempt to rile the
vampires. As the vampires snarled and closed in on my position I knew my attempt had worked.
"Yeah, come on bloodsuckers," I called out. Suddenly one of the vampires jumped from the
crowd and landed to the right of me. I quickly grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"This area is for DJs only," I said, and threw him off of the booth. As the crushed
speaker exploded I whipped my Sig 229 around and started firing continuously into the crowd,
picking off vampires left and right. Five male vampires made it to the stairs of the DJ booth
and were running up when I noticed them. Shooting one round into the lead vampire`s head I
grabbed a flagpole and jumped down the stairs, impaling the remaining vampires. Now on the
dancefloor I saw that some vampires were trying to escape, while the rest came for me. Those
that were trying to escape were being mowed down by BLADE, those who were attacking me would get
the same treatment. Soon a wave of around twenty vampires was charging me. I pulled out my AK-47
and enjoyed watching the wave stop and try to flee in the opposite direction. As they turned
their backs to me I squeezed the trigger and killed around sixty vampires. With the place nearly
empty I switched to hand-to-hand combat. Targeting a drunk vampire I quickly took him out with
one roundhouse kick, which snapped his neck. Shortly after two vampires rushed me. The one coming
in from the right I knocked back with a kick to the stomach. The other pulled out a samurai sword.
"Oh please," I said as I chuckled. I quickly turned my attention to the other vampire and
saw him pull out a mace while he was bent over in pain. A quick double-roundhouse kick to his
face and the mace was now mine.
"Thanks," I said as the vampire hit the ground. Now it was fair. The vampire and myself
stood still until he charged me, raising his sword above him. He swung it downward and caught
the dance floor. He looked up at me just as I kicked him in the face. He stumbled back a few
yards and quickly recovered. Charging again he thrusted the sword straight, but I caught it with
the mace and elbowed him in the face. By now his nose was bleeding. He jumped back and as he
wiped the blood from his face he began to laugh.
"What`s so funny?" I asked.
"I fucked your girlfriend Gabby," he said, laughing harder. I knew he was lying but
the comment still enraged me. With his guard down I quickly darted at him and kicked the sword
out of his hand. He quickly stopped laughing and an expression of fear spread across his face. He
tried to run away but before he could I swung the mace around and slammed him on the back of his
head. He grunted at the impact and hit the floor. I ran over and knelt down ontop of him.
"Big mistake saying that," I said, swinging the mace into the vampire`s head repeatedly,
hearing the agonizing pain in his voice with every blow. With the vampire`s head bashed in and a
pool of blood quickly getting bigger I stood up and saw that me, BLADE, and the vampire corpses
were the only things remaining in the club. BLADE was looking at me with an expression of
disappointment.
"Forgive me, he said something that angered me," I told BLADE.
"Expect that of Viscortho," BLADE responded.
Around two days later BLADE and myself started to prepare for the "final fight". In one
day we planned to take Viscortho out, thanks to the help of Gabby. That night I went to a vampire
nightclub, the one I first saw Gabby in. Again she was there, with her friends. I stood against
the back wall and watched Gabby`s every move. The longer I stood there, the more the vampires
around me got enraged. I knew that my time was limited. As I started to leave I saw Gabby and her
friends get up and head for a door. As they stood up Gabby glanced over in my direction. I did
nothing to get her attention, but she still noticed me. With a quick smile and a wink she turned
around and followed her friends, but not before I had the chance to silently say those three
important words to her. With that, I pushed myself away from the wall and left.
Night had turned to day, the very important day which would mean the end of someone`s
life, either mine, BLADE`s, or Viscortho`s. Again we spent the entire day preparing, loading our
weapons into the car and doing some last-minute training. 11:25 rolled around and we dressed in
our best attire, black clothes, bullet-proof vest, and the black trenchcoats. The club was about
twenty minutes away so we decided to leave a little early.
We arrived at the club around 11:48, parked the car someplace where it wouldn`t be seen,
and made our way to the club. Once inside the club we began to look for Viscortho.
"Not here yet," I told BLADE.
BLADE looked at his watch. "Five minutes to midnight."
We stood against one of the walls and decided to wait.
"Will Gabby be here?" BLADE asked me.
"No, she told me she was going to be at another club with her frie..," I had fallen into
his little trap, "you know I`ve been going to the clubs late at night don`t you?"
"Well you need some work on sneaking around," BLADE said.
I chuckled a bit then turned my attention towards the entrance.
"Shit, there he is," I informed BLADE. Viscortho had made an appearance.
"Be alert," BLADE said.
"Don`t worry about me."
Standing alertly against the wall we watched Viscortho walk towards the back and through
a door, along with five of his security staff.
"Geez, what`s with these clubs and back rooms?" I said sarcastically.
Preparing our pistols me and BLADE made our way for the door. Strangely the door was
unlocked so we snuck into the hallway. With the door closing behind us we stood silently and
heard nothing. The hallway infront of us winded to the left. Quickly and quietly we moved forward
and around the bend until a door came into view. The door was again unlocked. Swinging the door
open we revieled a dark staircase leading downward.
"Okay, shouldn`t be so hard." I had gotten the words out shortly before a vampire at the
bottom of the stairs began firing a machine gun up at us. We dodged and jumped out of the
doorway.
"Your move," BLADE said to me as the bullets ripped at the door frame.
"Lucky me," I said, as I whipped into the doorway and fired my M-4 down into the
darkness. A few moans and a soft thump later we proceeded down the stairs. Down at the bottom of
the stairs was a narrow, and very dark hallway, being lit up by three dull lights. The end of the
hallway wound to the left. We ran down the hallway and made the bend, only to notice a door at
the end of this stretch.
"Oh look, another door," I said with sarcasm as we proceded.
We got to the door and took the time to reload our weapons.
"It`s locked, Viscortho must be in here," BLADE said.
"I can`t find a magazine for my gun," I said as I searched. But I was taken by surprise
as the door swung open and a tall figured grabbed me and threw me into the room. As I recovered I
heard the door being sealed, and I realized I dropped my M-4, out in the hall.
"Well, looks like the odds are now in my favor," the familiar voice said to me.
I stood up and faced Viscortho. "We`ll see."
"Then may the best man win," Viscortho said before charging to the left.
I pulled out my Sig 229 and started firing at Viscortho. But with his speed, all of my
bullets were hitting behind him. I swung my arm to the left and fired again. As the bullets hit
infront of Viscortho, he quickly stopped and rushed my position. I fired five more bullets at
him, but he managed to dodge them all. Before I could get another shot off Viscortho kicked me in
the face. I flew off of my feet and landed on my back, the force of the impact causing me to drop
my gun. As I laid there on the ground, Viscortho walked up to me and put his foot on my chest.
"Down so quick? This is boring," Viscortho said.
"Don`t be quick to assume," I responded as I reached in my pocket and pulled out my
butterfly knife. Grabbing his ankle I jammed my knife into his thigh. As Viscortho stumbled back
screaming, I did a kip-up to my feet, roundhouse kicked Viscortho in the head, and ran over and
grabbed my gun. I swung around and aimed my gun between Viscortho`s eyes.
"Think I fall so quickly huh?" I said to Viscortho.
"Only if you think that gun will put an end to all of this."
As I stood there, holding back the hesitation, I pulled the trigger. The next sound was
the click of the hammer, and Viscortho laughing. My gun had run out of bullets.
"Like I said," Viscortho said, still laughing.
In a last-minute attempt I threw my gun down and swung at Viscortho. As I swung he caught
my arm and punched me three times in my stomach. I keeled over in pain and received a large blow
to the back of my head. Now lying on the ground Viscortho kicked me five times, then picked me
up to a standing position.
"Nice try foolish human, but you fail," Viscortho said bringing his arm back. I almost
blacked out as Viscortho gave me an uppercut to my chin. Again I laid on my back. For a moment I
thought I was going to die until I heard the door swing open. I turned my head in time to see
Gabby and BLADE dragging me out of the room, and what must have been Ivory, firing a pistol at
Viscortho. I was dragged out into the hall as the door was again closed.
"Stay here, I`ll clear you a path," Ivory said before she ran down the hallway. As I
looked up at the ceiling, I could see Gabby looking at BLADE, and BLADE looking at Gabby.
"Get him out of here," Gabby said.
BLADE nodded and with that Gabby opened the door and went into the room.
A sudden wave of energy rushed through my body.
"Wait!" I screamed out as I stood up. I tried to open the door but it was sealed. As I
banged on the door BLADE grabbed me and swung me around.
"We have to leave, now," BLADE said, handing me my M-4. I took the gun from BLADE and
reloaded it.
"Let`s go," I said. We rushed down the hallway and could hear gunfire infront of us. We
got to the stairs and saw Ivory at the top, holding off the vampire security. She turned around
and saw us at the bottom.
"All clear," she said, before a bullet ripped through her shoulder. She fell down the
stairs and landed infront of me and BLADE. I kneeled down as BLADE ran up the stairs. As BLADE
began firing I held Ivory`s head in my hand.
"Get out of here, I`ll be okay," Ivory said.
I nodded in response. "Take care of Gabby for me."
I set her head gently down on the floor and ran up the stairs. BLADE was already out on
the dance floor. Holding my M-4 at an alert position I met up with BLADE and we ran out of the
nightclub. A fire had broken out somewhere in the club and it was now getting out of control. We
got to the car and sped off, leaving the club behind us.
After that night we never heard anything from Gabby or her four friends. For two weeks we
searched all the clubs, but found nothing. By the end of the third week Blade had stopped looking
and went back slaying vampires. I, however, kept searching. On Friday I searched three clubs, but
my search ended at Club Kill. As I entered the club I looked at the table section and saw three
girls sitting at one table, one of them was Ivory. I tried not to get my hopes up as I neared the
table. I climbed the stairs to the table section as Ivory spotted me.
"Matt, hey, it`s been a while," Ivory said as I approached her.
"Ivory, hello," I responded. "So how did everything go? Is Viscortho dead?"
"Yep, killed him myself after you fled," Ivory answered.
"And Gabby? Is she alive?"
Ivory nodded.
I let out a big sigh. "Good."
"But she`s obviously still a vampire," Ivory stated.
"I know, but we can make her human again," I said. But as soon as I said that I quickly
remembered someone. Karen Jenson helped us become humans with her serum the last time. But since
then she has disappeared, her serum too.
As I stood there with a bewildered look on my face I felt a hand on my right shoulder as
I was turned around. I looked up at Gabby as she looked back at me smiling. We didn`t exchange
words, we just stared at each other.
"Hey kiddo," I said after about half a minute of staring.
"Hi," Gabby said back to me. She started to cry. "It`s good to see you."
We hugged then walked over to a couch and sat down.
"Where have you been?" I asked her.
"Around," she answered.
She put her hand in mine. "Now we can be together forever."
"But there`s a problem, we don`t have the serum to make you human again."
Gabby sat with a puzzled look on her face, then looked up at me and smiled.
"It`s okay," she said to me, "we`ll work something out."
We kissed then hugged. While we hugged I looked over at Ivory, who was smiling at me. I
smiled back at her and felt a sudden relaxation, and a feeling that everything was going to be
okay, then I shut my eyes as Gabby sunk her fangs into my neck.

nothing to get her attention, but she still noticed me. With a quick smile and a wink she turned
around and followed her friends, but not before I had the chance to silently say those three
important words to her. With that, I pushed myself away from the wall and left.
Night had turned to day, the very important day which would mean the end of someone`s
life, either mine, BLADE`s, or Viscortho`s. Again we spent the entire day preparing, loading our
weapons into the car and doing some last-minute training. 11:25 rolled around and we dressed in
our best attire, black clothes, bullet-proof vest, and the black trenchcoats. The club was about
twenty minutes away so we decided to leave a little early.
We arrived at the club around 11:48, parked the car someplace where it wouldn`t be seen,
and made our way to the club. Once inside the club we began to look for Viscortho.
"Not here yet," I told BLADE.
BLADE looked at his watch. "Five minutes to midnight."
We stood against one of the walls and decided to wait.
"Will Gabby be here?" BLADE asked me.
"No, she told me she was going to be at another club with her frie..," I had fallen into
his little trap, "you know I`ve been going to the clubs late at night don`t you?"
"Well you need some work on sneaking around," BLADE said.
I chuckled a bit then turned my attention towards the entrance.
"Shit, there he is," I informed BLADE. Viscortho had made an appearance.
"Be alert," BLADE said.
"Don`t worry about me."
Standing alertly against the wall we watched Viscortho walk towards the back and through
a door, along with five of his security staff.
"Geez, what`s with these clubs and back rooms?" I said sarcastically.
Preparing our pistols me and BLADE made our way for the door. Strangely the door was
unlocked so we snuck into the hallway. With the door closing behind us we stood silently and
heard nothing. The hallway infront of us winded to the left. Quickly and quietly we moved forward
and around the bend until a door came into view. The door was again unlocked. Swinging the door
open we revieled a dark staircase leading downward.
"Okay, shouldn`t be so hard." I had gotten the words out shortly before a vampire at the
bottom of the stairs began firing a machine gun up at us. We dodged and jumped out of the
doorway.
"Your move," BLADE said to me as the bullets ripped at the door frame.
"Lucky me," I said, as I whipped into the doorway and fired my M-4 down into the
darkness. A few moans and a soft thump later we proceeded down the stairs. Down at the bottom of
the stairs was a narrow, and very dark hallway, being lit up by three dull lights. The end of the
hallway wound to the left. We ran down the hallway and made the bend, only to notice a door at
the end of this stretch.
"Oh look, another door," I said with sarcasm as we proceded.
We got to the door and took the time to reload our weapons.
"It`s locked, Viscortho must be in here," BLADE said.
"I can`t find a magazine for my gun," I said as I searched. But I was taken by surprise
as the door swung open and a tall figured grabbed me and threw me into the room. As I recovered I
heard the door being sealed, and I realized I dropped my M-4, out in the hall.
"Well, looks like the odds are now in my favor," the familiar voice said to me.
I stood up and faced Viscortho. "We`ll see."
"Then may the best man win," Viscortho said before charging to the left.
I pulled out my Sig 229 and started firing at Viscortho. But with his speed, all of my
bullets were hitting behind him. I swung my arm to the left and fired again. As the bullets hit
infront of Viscortho, he quickly stopped and rushed my position. I fired five more bullets at
him, but he managed to dodge them all. Before I could get another shot off Viscortho kicked me in
the face. I flew off of my feet and landed on my back, the force of the impact causing me to drop
my gun. As I laid there on the ground, Viscortho walked up to me and put his foot on my chest.
"Down so quick? This is boring," Viscortho said.
"Don`t be quick to assume," I responded as I reached in my pocket and pulled out my
butterfly knife. Grabbing his ankle I jammed my knife into his thigh. As Viscortho stumbled back
screaming, I did a kip-up to my feet, roundhouse kicked Viscortho in the head, and ran over and
grabbed my gun. I swung around and aimed my gun between Viscortho`s eyes.
"Think I fall so quickly huh?" I said to Viscortho.
"Only if you think that gun will put an end to all of this."
As I stood there, holding back the hesitation, I pulled the trigger. The next sound was
the click of the hammer, and Viscortho laughing. My gun had run out of bullets.
"Like I said," Viscortho said, still laughing.
In a last-minute attempt I threw my gun down and swung at Viscortho. As I swung he caught
my arm and punched me three times in my stomach. I keeled over in pain and received a large blow
to the back of my head. Now lying on the ground Viscortho kicked me five times, then picked me
up to a standing position.
"Nice try foolish human, but you fail," Viscortho said bringing his arm back. I almost
blacked out as Viscortho gave me an uppercut to my chin. Again I laid on my back. For a moment I
thought I was going to die until I heard the door swing open. I turned my head in time to see
Gabby and BLADE dragging me out of the room, and what must have been Ivory, firing a pistol at
Viscortho. I was dragged out into the hall as the door was again closed.
"Stay here, I`ll clear you a path," Ivory said before she ran down the hallway. As I
looked up at the ceiling, I could see Gabby looking at BLADE, and BLADE looking at Gabby.
"Get him out of here," Gabby said.
BLADE nodded and with that Gabby opened the door and went into the room.
A sudden wave of energy rushed through my body.
"Wait!" I screamed out as I stood up. I tried to open the door but it was sealed. As I
banged on the door BLADE grabbed me and swung me around.
"We have to leave, now," BLADE said, handing me my M-4. I took the gun from BLADE and
reloaded it.
"Let`s go," I said. We rushed down the hallway and could hear gunfire infront of us. We
got to the stairs and saw Ivory at the top, holding off the vampire security. She turned around
and saw us at the bottom.
"All clear," she said, before a bullet ripped through her shoulder. She fell down the
stairs and landed infront of me and BLADE. I kneeled down as BLADE ran up the stairs. As BLADE
began firing I held Ivory`s head in my hand.
"Get out of here, I`ll be okay," Ivory said.
I nodded in response. "Take care of Gabby for me."
I set her head gently down on the floor and ran up the stairs. BLADE was already out on
the dance floor. Holding my M-4 at an alert position I met up with BLADE and we ran out of the
nightclub. A fire had broken out somewhere in the club and it was now getting out of control. We
got to the car and sped off, leaving the club behind us.
After that night we never heard anything from Gabby or her four friends. For two weeks we
searched all the clubs, but found nothing. By the end of the third week Blade had stopped looking
and went back slaying vampires. I, however, kept searching. On Friday I searched three clubs, but
my search ended at Club Kill. As I entered the club I looked at the table section and saw three
girls sitting at one table, one of them was Ivory. I tried not to get my hopes up as I neared the
table. I climbed the stairs to the table section as Ivory spotted me.
"Matt, hey, it`s been a while," Ivory said as I approached her.
"Ivory, hello," I responded. "So how did everything go? Is Viscortho dead?"
"Yep, killed him myself after you fled," Ivory answered.
"And Gabby? Is she alive?"
Ivory nodded.
I let out a big sigh. "Good."
"But she`s obviously still a vampire," Ivory stated.
"I know, but we can make her human again," I said. But as soon as I said that I quickly
remembered someone. Karen Jenson helped us become humans with her serum the last time. But since
then she has disappeared, her serum too.
As I stood there with a bewildered look on my face I felt a hand on my right shoulder as
I was turned around. I looked up at Gabby as she looked back at me smiling. We didn`t exchange
words, we just stared at each other.
"Hey kiddo," I said after about half a minute of staring.
"Hi," Gabby said back to me. She started to cry. "It`s good to see you."
We hugged then walked over to a couch and sat down.
"Where have you been?" I asked her.
"Around," she answered.
She put her hand in mine. "Now we can be together forever."
"But there`s a problem, we don`t have the serum to make you human again."
Gabby sat with a puzzled look on her face, then looked up at me and smiled.
"It`s okay," she said to me, "we`ll work something out."
We kissed then hugged. While we hugged I looked over at Ivory, who was smiling at me. I
smiled back at her and felt a sudden relaxation, and a feeling that everything was going to be
okay, then I shut my eyes as Gabby sunk her fangs into my neck.
