A vampire crept down the alley way running his hands through his greasy
dirt brown hair nervously. Something was following him but he didn't know
what. The vampire glanced over his shoulder and saw a pair of glowing amber
eyes before they disappeared into the darkness. The vampire started to
shake involuntary. He was a creature of the night meant to kill and feed on
his prey. He was the hunter and wasn't supposed to be hunted. His angry
thoughts changed quickly to that of deep fear as a serpentine creature
slithered out in front of him. It rose up on its long coiling tail and
snarled. The top half of the creature was a body of a woman. At the waist
it turned to a thick black serpent's tail. The creature rose to its full
height which was about 10 feet. She still had an extra 12 feet in tail. The
vampire looked up into the females dark amber eyes. A snake tongue
flickered out of her mouth and over her large glittering fangs. The vampire
started to shake with fear. This creature wanted to feed on him.
"I am Morgana" The snake demon hissed, her forked tongue flickering from
her mouth. The vampire's eyes grew wide as he saw venom drip off of the
demons fangs. Her scaly tail curled around the vampire's legs knocking him
to the ground. She reared up above him and prepared to strike. She was
suddenly pulled back when someone grabbed the back of her tail. Morgana
whipped around, fangs bared and ready to sink into flesh. A booted foot
kicked her in the nose.
"Scat" Another female voice commanded. Morgana hissed in anger. No one
treated her like river scum.
"Shoo" The voice commanded again. Morgana met the silver eyes of her
assailant. A smirk flickered over her fanged lips.
"Ah Shade" She hissed "Long time no see"
The silvered eyes vampire didn't seemed affected by the knowledge that this
demon knew her. Shade just narrowed her eyes and pointed a finger at the
sewer. Morgana grinned and hissed in Shades ear, "I know what you are and
what you did"
Something flickered in Shades eyes, an emotion that was quickly buried.
"I'll be seeing you Shade" Morgana laughed.
"Get out of here Morgana" Shade snarled back. The Snake demons cynical
laughter lingered as she slipped down the sewer drain. Shade turned back
to the frightened vampire lying on the ground.
"Thanks" He muttered climbing to his feet "for the help back-"
He was a pile of dust even before he had finished his sentence. Shade bit
her lip trying to hold back the tears. She wasn't a demon or a human. She
couldn't live among either of them. Alone was what she would always be.
"But what if I don't want to be alone?" She whispered to the wind. No
answer. Not that she had expected one. Shade spun on her heel and left the
alley. Tears ran down her cheeks gleaming silver in the moons pale light.
She didn't notice the blonde haired male vampire step from the shadows and
watch her disappear. He dropped his cigarette to the ground and crushed it
with the toe of his boot.
"You won't be alone forever, luv" he muttered with a thick British accent
"You wont be alone"
