"Oh no you don't, get back her I don't want to ruin my new shoes!" Why is it that these vampires she has to chase after never seemed to realize that running in heals is extremely difficult, and a great way to totally destroy them? Do they think it's funny that I have to chase after them at all evening hours leaving me no time for a job, which is what I need to pay for more shoes? No consideration. All my hard work to control their population and what to I get for it! "I told you to stop!" Serena screamed as she thrust a stake into the vampires heart. "That's what you get for making me- "Let me guess, ruin your new shoes?" The voice sounds very deep, and somewhat scary. Serena's blood seems to pulse even faster as she listens. 'Who is this guy? He must have seen me stake the vamp. This is gonna be a long night.' She slowly stands from her position on the dusty ground. Serena turns toward the voice, but found only the brick wall of a building. 'What?' She quickly scans the ally that she is in. 'Ok two brick walls, dusty dirty ally floor, and no creep talking person who followed me here. This is a little odd.' "You were so caught up in the condition of your shoes you didn't even see me following did you?" The voice stated again. As a tall man in dark form fitting, and what a nice form too, outfit jumps from the sill of one of the second floor windows. He spoke again, "My name is Darien, and you'll be seeing me again soon. Try to spot me first though. You never know who else could be following you." With that he jumped back up onto the windowsill and quickly jumped away into the dark night. 'Ok that isn't something you see every day. Extremely handsome, yet very creepy man follows me into an ally, sees me stake a vampire, spouts some weird lines, and then jumps off into the night. That's weird even by the standards of my life, and I chase around at all hours of the night killing vampires, and assorted other demons.' Serena let thoughts of the strange man consume her on her walk home. Who could he be? What could he be? What's with the creep factor he's emitting anyway? Random questions fill her head. She has plenty to think about on her long grueling walk home.
