Blood on the Moon
Chapter 2
By: IceQueen
I smile as I save for the final time, and log on to the Internet. That's another one of humanity's greatest inventions~ the Internet. I transfer my file~ chapter 15~ to an email, which I send to my editor. She'll get a kick out of this one.
I can feel dawn's pull and know that soon, oh so very soon, that cursed golden disk will rise into the sky again, forcing me into a sleep like death, but not close enough to it.
I go to the large window that overlooks my territory. That's right~ my territory. No one shall take it from me. Not that anyone would be even close enough of a match for me. Milwaukee was my land now. I'd even killed another vampire in Oak Creek just to be sure.
I sigh quietly, looking on in amazement as the condensation on the glass forms. Daylight comes. I can see it's pale pink upon the horizon now.
I go back into my sanctuary with its blackened windows and its solid door with rubber lining on all four sides. I lie down on the bed, and as dawn steals my consciousness I think, 'I wonder why there is blood on the moon...'

Heero Yuy woke just after dawn. He rolled over and stared bleary-eyed at the alarm clock resting on his bedside table. Four thirty-seven in the morning. Not nearly time to get up.
He shifted so that he lay down again, and tried to sleep. Really. He did. The sun, however, had other plans. It kept shining in his eyes, flickering back and forth through his blinds. Finally Heero couldn't take any more and shot out of bed to eat to take a shower.
After his shower he dressed in chinos and a deep blue shirt, getting ready to start work. Before hand though, he sat down had a bagel and watched the morning news. He switched it to FOX6, and watched Katie Kureck talk on the Morning show.
"Last night 23-year-old, Daniel Keller was found dead outside Seaside Heights apartment buildings. It looks to be the work of some completely deranged sociopath. At least that's what MCP criminal psychologist, Michael Creis tells me. Isn't that right Michael?"
"Yes, quite right Ms.Kureck."
Katie cut him off before he could say whatever else he wanted to. "Daniel was found brutally beaten to death, with his throat ripped out, and drained completely of blood. You're telling me that a human did this?"
"I am, Ms.~"
He was cut off again. "Daniel Keller was twenty-three years old, a senior at UWM, studying pre-med. His life was brutally ripped away from him at such a young age. What is doing to assure this crime from repeating itself?"
"Well, we at the MCP are doing everything in our power to find out who Mr.Keller's murderer is, but when locating sociopaths it can be a difficult task."
"I see. What type of sociopath would it take exactly to do this type of thing?"
"Well, counting the throat ripped out, and the blood completely drained out, we're looking at someone with a fixation on the morbid. Vampires, werewolves, the whole caboodle. Especially vampires. But a sociopath can look like anyone else. It's not like you can walk down Wisconsin Avenue and point saying, 'Oh yea, he's a sociopath.' That's not how it works. It takes intensive psychological study."
"Well, thank you very much Mr.Cries for your time. We certainly hope that you catch Daniel's killer soon. For everyone's sake."
Michael Cries nodded and walked off as the camera zoomed in on Katie Kureck. "Psychos on the loose with vampire fixations.... Is this the kind of world we want our children to grow up in? If not, please do your part and donate to the 'Daniel Keller Memorial Foundation.'"
Click. Heero turned off the T.V. Another kid dead.... he hoped he'd get some customers today...
