X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
5 years later...
The moonlight washed over the landscaping, bringing a soft yet dark glow to the objects it touched. It seemed as bright as the sun as it's full embrace captured the land.
Through the darkness among the light that the full moon showered a figure was seen in a small field. Laying still on the ground. If one were to walk by they may think it was dead but then they would hear it. The song passing slowly through her lips. A song filled with a strange bit of happiness and sadness at the same time. One which traveled along the wind and dissapeared into the night sky as if it had wanted to keep the song for itself.

Dark light dark night, soft breeze blowing,
bring to me, bring to me,
The dark man glowing,
Bright moon, light stars, high above me,
Show him to me once again...

"Sada!"
She heard her name called in the distance. She turned her head and looked into the distance at her father coming closer and closer with a lantern in his hands.
"Sada!"
She lay back, and allowed the automatic answer to sound "Yes Father! I'm here!"
His heartfelt sigh sounded as he came closer and closer. "You must not stray too far" he said "The vampires have grown in numbers..."
A small smile and a happy sigh sounded from the young woman on the ground.
Her father noticed this and shook his head with a half smile-half frown, "Sada" he spoke softly "He's...he's not coming back..."
She shot up and turned to her father with a hurt look "But he promised he would! Surely he will come back to make sure we are safe!"
"It's been five years Sada" her father said "...he is a wanderer, a lost soul in a world of paths with none to follow..."
"It's because of mama isn't it?" she asked turning sadly with a twinge of bitterness in her voice "It's because of what mama said. Those words...those horrible words..."
"Your mothers reasoning is understandable" he said.
She sighed "I know" she said closing her eyes "I just wish he would come back soon."
Her father turned away, he seemed plagued...and he was. He was afraid, she was so young to be exposed to such a hero...he was also the only hero she had known. Over the years and even in that moment her image of him might have been aggsagerated, and she may have...have...
"Are you in love with him?"
He had to ask. He had to know if his only daughter was to be tormented for the rest of her life loving a dunpeal hunter with no way in life but the deadly road he walked.
A giggle.
A giggle that echoed with childlike laughter and glee. It melted his heart.
She laughed at the silliness of her father, then climbed to her feet and wrapped her arms around him. He looked to her in surprise "Do not worry father" she whispered "I am not in love with him. I just...want him to come back...like he promised."
Her father smiled in relief at this news.
"I'd never really given any thought to a physical attraction" she said "After all...I'm still young..."
"Your body may be young" he said "But your mind is so much older. Come...let us go to the house..."
She turned and the two made thier way back to the house.
They were at the end of thier road before suddenly a scream rang through the darkness.
Her head shot up and Sada looked up at the house "Mama?" she asked.
Her father pushed her back with his arm "Sada" he said "Go into the barn. Go hide..."
"But Papa..."
He turned "Go!" he said.
She turned and ran to the barn, obeying her father. She ran into the barn, then into the hay stall which was also in the direction of the house. She hid herself in the hay crouching low while peering through the cracks in the barn looking towards the house. She heard her mother's scream before a gun shot let out. A large blast came from inside the house indicating her father had taking out his guns. She then saw figures, figures in the darkness, coming from the shadows of the house. Figures that crawled along the shadows like ants. She couldnt' count how many of them there were but her heart beat pounded in her ears as she knew the inevitable was about to reign it's bloody blessing on her life. She could feel the pain and anguish that was only an incling of the title wave about to shower on her. The gunshots got closer and closer together as she turned unable to watch anymore even though she could not see anything.
The shots and the screams were too much, the growls and the hollers were too much, they were all too much. Her heart broke a little more as she could see clearly in her mind the events that were taking place. She wanted them to dissapear.
She wanted to deafen her ears.
She wanted to blind her eyes.
She wanted to numb her heart.
She wanted to dissaper.
She wanted...him...
She wanted him to come save her.
She wanted to hear the hooves of his horse.
She wanted to hear the jingle of his weapons.
She wanted to hear the crunch of his feet.
She wanted to hear the breath on his lips.
Opening her mouth she let out the hum that had travelled from her stomach, to her lungs, to her throat to her mouth. A tune that she created long ago, a tune that she sang every night in the moonlight, a tune that called to her dark avenger, to her dark hero, to the hero she wished was there.

Dark light dark night, soft breeze blowing,
bring to me, bring to me,
The dark man glowing,
Bright moon, light stars, high above me,
Show him to me once again,
Dear lord show him to me,
Soft wind, blowing over the land,
Bring the angel of darkness,
Forever I will pray for his stand,

"Such a pretty voice..."
Her heart stopped. She could feel the color drain from her face, as she turned slowly to find herself staring into two burning red eyes, her eyes traveled down the pale face to the dripping fangs, and her stomach wretched at the smell of putrid death that seeped from his throat.
"I hope it will taste just as sweet."
She threw herself back into the boards.
"Just like your mothers..."
Her breath she found would not escape her lungs.
"I can feel your heart beating from here..."
His scaley dead fingers reached out and stroked her hot cheek.
"So beautiful..."
She squeaked
"I shall enjoy this."
He opened his mouth and lowered himself. She closed her eyes in fear hiding her neck as much as she could.
'D'
Her heart, mind, and soul cried out for the dark hero.
'Save me!'
She could feel his cold breath on her skin and she awaited the fangs to pierce her skin and the darkness to overtake her.
Suddenly the sound of slicing meet hit her ears before cracking bones and a cry of pain that soon faded. She opened her eyes to see the vampire had a look of complete surprise, and protruding from his chest was a blood dripping blade. Her eyes widened as he fell to the floor to reveal a large black hat, shielding the pale face of her hero. Her heart skipped a beat as the black had lifted and the deep sollem eyes she remembered so well peered once again into her soul. "D" she gasped.

Authors Note: There was initially more to this chapter but I decided that that was a good cliffhanger. Which I love do to.
It was also originally a different ending. I thought that Iíd have her kill the vampire, but decided that since she is to young thereís no reason to place ashes on her hands, and she needed to stay innocent.
Not to mention I wanted that element of having D save her, even in moments that seemed impossible for him to be there added to their strange bond.
Review and you shall recieve! Later!
