Chapter One: Something Strange…
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Hunter D. I don't have enough money to be sued by those who do own VHD. So please don't sue me for copyright infringement, I'm not taking any credit for D or left hand or any other unoriginal ideas in my fic, it wouldn't be worth it anyway, I'm broke!
D couldn't quite put his finger on it, but there was definitely something odd about this town. It wasn't exactly a dangerous feeling town, but still…something was amiss. It was like something was lacking, something that D expected to feel wasn't there. He had heard there were vampires in this town, but it just didn't feel the way a noble-plagued town normally was….
D was a Hunter, A vampire Hunter. But he was more than he appeared, for the enemy of the vampires was also the son of one, the son of the most infamous Noble, the Great Ancestor himself, Dracula. This made D a dhampire, a half-breed between a vampire and a mortal, blessed (or cursed) with at least 50 of the vampires' unnatural attributes. However, a dhampire could walk by day, they ate human food and if they chose could live a relatively normal human life. However, dhampires also were forced to bear the curse of the Nobility, a lusting for human blood. The dhampires, as a whole, did not succumb to the lust, but were still hated and feared by the humans that they sought to protect while their Noble relatives looked at them as though they were traitors and below notice.
D had finally figured out what was so odd. The people here seemed happy, utterly devoid of the vampire-induced fear of the ones he had gotten his information from. He closed his eyes to think. Since there seemed no need of his services here, the hunter decided he would just water his mount and be on his way. He found an uncrowded well and dismounted. There was one other person at the well, a girl of about sixteen. She turned around quickly at D's approach. "Oh! Hello sir! Did you and your mount want some water? I'll get it for you!" The girl turned and drew the water from the well. D led his mount to the trough and did hit statue impression while it drank. The girl presented D with a bucket and dipper full of cold water. When D hesitated, the girl let out a trilling giggle. "I promise its fine. It's not like we spike our wells with garlic or anything! It's fine. Really!" upon hearing that, D's eyebrows shot straight up into his hairline. Many frontier towns had taken to spiking their wells with garlic in hopes that it would deter the nobles from preying on them. Of course, thanks to D's ever-present hat, the girl couldn't see his eyebrow acrobatics. Something about him must have alerted her to his surprise, because she giggled again. "You're definitely not from around here! Come with me, its almost dark. You can stay at my home for the night. There's plenty of room, and ill fill you in on the town joke." She bounced away, leaving a stunned D to follow in her wake.
