Dead I am the one, Exterminating son
Slipping through the trees, strangling the breeze
Dead I am the sky, watching angels cry
As they slowly turn, conquering the worm
Mercedes stood impatiently watching Blade buy silver. She toyed with her gun, checking its aim. Concealing it back in her trench coat, she walked over to Blade. She pointed her thumb towards the door.
"Going out for some fresh air." Blade didn't look at her, he just nodded. Testing the sharpness of the silver.
"M," Blade called after her. Mercedes turned. "No crazy shit or I'll be busting your ass."
"Sure." Mercedes walked out of the store. The chimes on the door rang. Mercedes put her hands in her pockets. It was cold. She went over to a vacant trash can fire and started warming her hands. She sat down on a nearby car. She tapped her fingers on the car. Bored. She wanted to kill.
From an alley, in the shadows he watched her. His pale eyes lit up in the darkness. The Reaper pulled the hood of his jacket over his head and walked out of the alley.
Mercedes had taken out a silver stake and was scratching a skull into the car. A homeless man came up and leant against the car door next to her. Mercedes put away her stake instantly. She rubbed the loose black paint scratched away from her drawing. Aware that the man was staring at her. Mercedes focused on the fire. The man leaned towards her, whispering,
"I liked your voice."
"What?" Mercedes turned and recognised the hooded man from the club.
Dig through the ditches
Burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula
Dig through the ditches
Burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula
Mercedes recognised him immediately. Dressed in a cheap fur coat and a hooded jacket. Pale eyed and pale skinned with a scar running down his chin.
"You sang at the House of 1000 Corpses."
"Yeah." Mercedes raised an eyebrow. "Then I torched the place. Shouldn't you be a burning corpse by now?" He smiled and looked into the flames.
"My name is Jarred Nomak." He held out a gloved hand with ring on one finger. Mercedes hesitated, and then took his hand.
"Mercedes." Jarred bought her hand up to his mouth and kissed it. Mercedes watched him. No fangs yet. He smiled at her. "Cute. Now take off the hood."
Jarred pulled back his hood. Blue veins covered his bald head. His skin was off. His eyes were glowing dangerously. Mercedes jumped off the car, stake in hand.
"What... What are you?"
"Reaper."
"Reaper? What's that? Some kind of demon?"
"No. I'm the first of the Reaper Strain. A virus designed by recombining DNA of a vampire. I was a failure."
"So your some kind of Super-Vamp?"
"Yes. I am immune to silver and garlic. I feed on both humans and vampires."
"An' if I tried to stake you..?"
"My heart is incased in bone."
"Wow. Anything actually kick your ass?"
"Sunlight." Mercedes toyed with her stake, testing its edge.
"So what do you want with me?"
"Your enemy is my enemy. We could wipe them out." Jarred clenched his fist, bones cracked. Mercedes put her hand over his fist, smiling.
"Sounds like a pretty cool ass idea, Nomak." He looked up at her,
"Come with me."
Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool Weak and what you need, nowhere as you bleed Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat Tender is the fur, dying as you purr
Blade came out of the store. He looked around for Mercedes. She wasn't there. He walked past the trashcans, hobos, hookers and drug dealers. He picked up her scent and followed it down an alley... Blade wield his blade, he shook his head,
"M, gonna bust your ass."

Nomak and Mercedes stood on a rooftop of an abandoned building. Mercedes eyes the creatures moving in the shadows, shrieking.
"They won't touch you." Mercedes shrugged, looking closer.
"What are they?"
"Reapers. They were vampires before I fed on them."
"You a vamp, too?"
"I was born a vampire." Jarred growled. Mercedes pointed to the scar on his chin.
"So what's with the scar?" Jarred laughed.
"Childhood accident." His scar slit open... Mercedes' eyes filled with horror. Jarred took one step towards her. Mercedes instantly had her gun up to his forehead.
"Don't pull any freaky shit with me." Jarred grabbed the gun, crushing it. Mercedes knew how vulnerable she was. She let go of the gun, it clattered on the ground and Nomak kicked it into the shadows. Nomak grabbed Mercedes by the wrist, squeezing it tight. Cutting off circulation.
"I'm not going to hurt you. I need you too much. Do you understand?" Mercedes broke free and silently nodded.
"M! Where the fuck you at!" Mercedes looked down and saw Blade walking through the alley below them.
Nomak looked up at the sky. The Reapers were starting to crawl down the side of the building. Nomak gave Mercedes a glance. "Go."
Mercedes scaled down the building from window ledges and dropped down to the ground infront of Blade. Blade had his sword at her throat. Mercedes put her hands up.
"Cool it, B."
Dead I am the life, dig into the skin
Knuckle crack the bone, 21 to win
Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry
Devil on your back, I can never die
Mercedes gave one last look back at the rooftop and Jarred still standing there. Then turned back to Blade,
"I was just dusting some bloodsuckers."
"I told you no crazy shit."
"Come on, B." Mercedes rolled her eyes.
"Do what I tell you to do, M."
"Boring. Wanna kill." Blade shook his head, giving up.
"Killing is gonna get you killed one day, M."
Blade and Mercedes walked back to the car. Blade looked at the skull scratched into the car.
"You do this, M?" Blade pointed at the skull. Mercedes opened the car door and sat in the seat.
"Like I said, B, bored shitless." She slammed the door shut and turned the radio up full-ball. Blade saw the figure crouched down on the rooftop,
"What the hell..?"

Nomak watched the black car drive off. He got up from his crouching position on the very edge of the rooftop. He started to laugh. He looked at the night sky. He crawled down the abandoned building and kicked a window it and climbed through it. He watched the Reapers crawl down the building to feed. He laughed coldly... He was going to wipe them out!
