When Cai took out the wooden spear, he knew he
made a mistake. As a human, he was no match toward an ancient vampire; even as
a vampire hunter, he was as slow as a turtle to a fox. But, when he reveled his
identity, the vampiress was distressed and lost all hope. This was strange for
this particular vampire. For he knew her. This was Mezo, the most feared of all
vampires. He has hunted her for years.
"Go ahead." She said in a soft voice. It made
him lower his weapon. Mezo looked up at him with her fiery hazel eyes. But she
didn't look at him, she looked passed him, like she was blinded.
"To do what?" Cai asked, honestly confused. A
glint of mad anger crossed Mezo's face.
"To kill me! It's what you wanted,"
"What..." He interrupted, but the vampiress
raised her voice and talked over him.
"I know who you are and you know who I am! You made
the mistake of telling me your name and letting me see your face! You must be
pretty cocky or else thick to think you could kill me like that! What if I got
free? What would you do then?" Cai wasn't offended, he was being thick,
thinking he could just waltz up and kill a vampire without them finding out who
he was. He was expecting her to run and tell all her friends about him. But she
didn't move. She just stood there, looking and not looking at him.
"I'll leave then," Cai said, dropping the
spear, "and live in fear for the rest of my life."
"You're not," Said Mezo, it sounded a lot like
an order, "It's my fault you feel this way, I promise I won't tell
anyone." She gave him a sly smile and walked away into the shadows leaving
Cai stand there, dumbstruck. Your the best, he thought, unable to get the words
out of his mouth. He turned the other way and left. That wouldn't be their last
meeting.
