A night of darkness and rain was upon the Dunan army area, water pouring like there was a never ending river between the black clouds that disrupted the rays of the moon, while thunder screamed every time the sudden flash of lighting filled the land, under this weather was a shadowy figure standing on an old tree that had no leaves, he was smiling widely as he stared from the dead branch he stood on, watching as one of the knights of the dark swung his sword with a roar of pure anger.
'hehehehehe…I am glad I took the time to see this…after that dumb war ended everything was as dull as Apple's war strategies…' he watched as the sword of the dark knight slowly embraced the flame of the rage rune equipped on it.
Pesmerga's King crimson sparked with fire as it met with Yubers sword, retracting his sword the vengeful knight swung his sword upwards diagonally, only to be blocked by Yubers two handed weapon, the hate and rage taking over Pesmerga with every attack he delivered to the demon in front of him the one that took all from him…the one who made him only feel pain and nothing else…the one that made him suffer…these thoughts bounced inside Pesmerga's head causing him to go berserk swinging at his enemy over and over from every direction, not stopping until he'd destroy the cursed demon that caused him immense pain.
The blond dark knight was beginning to regret angering the black knight more than he had to, but this was no time to shuffle through failures but instead to look for solutions, but being in the situation he was in now it was hard to even think let alone block the slashes that were accompanied with the flames of hate and rage.
'heh…pitiful maggot…too bad I didn't kill you when I had the chance…' barley blocking another slash that had enough power to slice off his upper body, Yuber finally saw an opening in Pesmerga's barrage of attacks, not wasting a moment he swiftly swung his sword horizontally aiming for Pesmerga's waist, succeeding he drew blood with that slash, suspecting the dark knight to kneel down in pain he raised his sword to finish this long fight that took a lot of his time and strength.
Then the blond haired demon delivered the slash, only to let his sword meet the ground, while his black armor met his hunters burning two handed sword, easily slicing through it and spilling his demonic blood.
A scream of pain was heard from the Eight fold rune bearer, he gripped the massive cut that was inflicted on his body trying to stop the blood from gushing out of his body, but to no avail, the blood rained on the earth while pain kept running through his body.
"DAMN YOU MAGGOT!!!!" Yuber roared as he ignored his pain and slashed at his enemy with all the speed and strength that was left in his body, causing a massive wound to appear on the vengeful knight's body.
Pesmerga shrugged of the pain from his newest wound and replied with a swift side slash wounding the demonic knights arm, ignoring the pain he felt from that attack Yuber slashed vertically with his sword, causing another wound to be implanted on the vengeful knight's body.
Their swords kept piercing and cutting through their armor with ease, none of them showing pain or mercy, all that mattered to them was to cause more damage until one of them met his death.
Behind the dead tree that had a great view of the battle stood the Coven mistress Sierra Mikain, she watched the two knights of darkness wound each other to no end causing a rain of crimson blood to quench the thirst of this war cursed land, seeing more of the red liquid her vampiric senses began to strike at her mind, causing her to bite her tong lightly to stop thinking about this, although she had full control over the Blue moon rune it still kept trying to persuade her to become the carnivore vampire she once was, ignoring the temptations of the true rune she kept focus on the battle, half of her mind wanted her to jump in and fight along side Pesmerga, but the other half kept telling her that he can handle it 'you fought by his side before at the war you should know that he is able to handle himself in battle' she mentally scolded her self for doubting the dark swordsman's ability.
'besides he'd probably get angry even more for interfering with his battle' she kept convincing herself 'he'll probably beat that demon…' she mentally said to herself, hopping that he would obtain victory.
Once more the cycle of pain kept rolling, the two massive swords cutting through black armor drawing blood with each slash, the times when they would block the attacks would become less and less, the sword wielders brushing closer to their demise with each swing, Pesmerga did not care, as long as he can take Yuber to his grave he didn't give a damn what would happen to him, but the blond haired dark knight although blinded by the blood lust inside of him did not want to die here, knowing that if this battle continued he'd be lying motionless like the many victims that fell under his sword.
And with no second thoughts the Eight fold rune bearer, summoned the power of his true rune, causing him to teleport avoiding the King crimsons burning slash.
Pesmerga looked around him, his eyes scanning any sign of the one he craved to kill, but he found no trace of Yuber.
"as much as I…would like to…continue this…little game…I have better things…to do…" hearing the voice that annoyed him the most, the vengeful dark knight turned around, his eyes fell on his nemesis, standing far away from him as if on instinct the raven black haired knight dashed toward his enemy with all the speed he can summon from his wounded body, the distance between the two knights was diminishing by the second, but soon the distance between them grew back to what it was, as Pesmerga flew back hitting the ground hard.
Not understanding what just happened Pesmerga pulled himself up, witnessing the cause of his sudden trip to the ground, a giant humanoid like shape stood in front of him, masculine in every part of its body, claws shined as lighting gave one of its sudden bursts of light, also showing a face that only belonged to a demon.
"of course…I wouldn't leave you with out proper company…I will see you again…if you survive…" the blonde haired dark knight still exhausted laughed hysterically then he called upon the powers of his rune once more and he was gone.
The vengeful dark knight got up ignoring the wounds that were embedded on his body 'damn you Yuber…' he stared at the monster that was in front of him, knowing that Yuber is now long gone, and he had to take care of what ever leftovers his prey leaves behind, namely this monster, and being injured was not helping the black knight's situation.
The demon in front of him delivered its battle cry into the area, ready to rip the wounded dark knight to pieces, noticing this Pesmerga gripped his sword firmly and got into battle stance, ignoring the pain that surged through his injured body.
'I can't be defeated!!!' he mentally screamed at himself 'I must kill Yuber' his thoughts wandered into the reason of this quest that has lasted for many years, then he watched the monster near him, he was about to run at the summoned demon, but then he plummet to one knee as if his body ignored the orders of his brain, all that Pesmerga could do now was watch how the demon would finish him.
Then three wounds were embedded…on the monster's body, Pesmerga stared as he saw his enemy get slashed by some one to say the least he didn't expect to see, just then the attacker landed her leg on the monsters face pushing against it she bounced of the demons body, doing a back flip in the air and elegantly landed on her feet, next to the dark knight.
Sierra the coven mistress stood next to the vengeful knight and gave him a look of interest "it's a bit late to be wandering outside don't you think so…dark knight?"
"what the hell are you doing here vampire??!!!" the words that escaped his lips were laced with anger and surprise, Sierra was probably the last person he expected to see, what is she doing here? Why did she come? How did she know that he was fighting his nemesis? All these questions wanted to burst out of Pesmerga's head and get launched through his mouth.
"is this anyway to speak to a lady? But maybe we should save this conversation after we take care of this little nuisance" the pale girl spoke as she turned to face the monster in front of her.
Pesmerga growled at her then glared at the enemy in front of him, making a mental note not let her walk away after the end of the battle unless his questions were answered with answers that would please him, then as if they acted on a plan that was written beforehand, they both charged at the enemy, Sierra hovered towards the monster at great speed, before passing the beast she quickly slashed it with the tip of her hand, carving a wound on the demon's gigantic body, before the monster could turn around to attack her, it was met with a quick vertical slash from Pesmerga's King crimson, then the black knight shoved his sword into the monster's body, piercing its green skin, finally the black knight raised his sword while it was still inside the demon's body, cutting through the summoned beast's guts, spraying its demonic blood on the ground that drank a lot of blood on this night, causing the demon to scream in pain.
Planning to deliver another slash to the demon he pulled back his broad sword, but then the wounds on his body started to release more blood, forcing the vengeful knight to plunge to the ground in pain, supporting himself on his knee and sword 'it seems the battle with Yuber took a lot out of him…' the vampire mistress started to focus on the dark rune embedded on her left hand, the rune of darkness gave out a purple flash "final bell" the pale girl said, then the barriers from this world and another started to disrupt, causing a dimensional hole to open and expand in mid air, then a stream of chaotic energy was unleashed from the dimensional hole, circling the monster as a wolf would do its prey, then it slammed into the beast from its right side phasing through the demon like a phantom but not with out burning its flesh with its merciless purple flames, the monster released a cry of pain, before it stumbled on its knees.
Grasping the opportunity the vengeful knight retreated a few steps away, and quickly opened a bottle of mega medicine, he drank down the healing liquid, in a few moments the contains of the bottle started showing results, the two handed sword wielders wounds started to close up, the pain that accompanied the many injuries started to disappear as well.
Back on his feet and ready to swing his blood thirsty sword, Pesmerga charged at the summoned demon, pulling back on his two handed weapon to get enough momentum, once he reached the summoned slave of his nemesis he swung his two handed weapon horizontally cutting into the monsters chest spilling its purple blood, before a screech could be heard from the demon, out of no where Sierra appeared, but that was not strange, the thing that was out of order was there was a Sierra in front of the monster and another behind it, they both started attacking the monster, the one in front of the demon stabbed her left hand into the monster's chest, while her twin ran the same hand through the summoned beast's back, then quickly they both started delivering many slashes with the hand they had inside the monster cutting through its innards.
Removing their left hand from the wounded demon, the vampire in front of the demon phased into the one behind it, the Coven mistress got ready to cut the monster once more or she hoped to do so, but her strategy was torn apart as the demon's massive claws came crashing down on her, just in time she phased a few steps away to see the monster's attack rip into the ground, noticing the opening in the summoned monster's defense Pesmerga delivered a raising diagonal slash cutting into the monsters chest, a roar of pain filled the air alarming every one that stood in these grass fields on that night, Pesmerga raised his sword once more and delivered a vertical slash to the monster's badly wounded chest, then the black knight started hammering away with his King crimson each slash coming stronger than the one before it, each slash coming from a different direction, each slash spilling more blood, each slash causing more pain, because with each swing of his sword Pesmerga thought more of his nemesis.
How he hated him so, how he loathed him so, how he despised him so, he wanted nothing of this world but to kill that demon, no not just kill, death wasn't enough of a punishment, he wanted to make him suffer wanted to make his death a slow and painful one, and thanks to this demon his enemy escaped so this monster also deserved a slow and painful death.
Reacting to the emotions that Pesmerga felt now, the rage rune on his sword engulfed his weapon in flames, causing each slash to burn through the demon's body, and cause unbelievable pain to the demon.
Finally the monster kneeled down as if it was begging for mercy, but even if it was pleading, everyone knew that Pesmerga was not some one to have mercy on his enemies.
Pesmerga pulled back his sword planning to finish off the summoned slave of his enemy, and then with all his power he brutally swung his weapon at the monsters head, planning to slice it off with a horizontal slash.
But things don't always go according to plan, out of pure desperation the monster swiftly backhanded the dark knight sending him slamming into the lone dead tree, causing the tree to shake violently.
The shadowy figure on the tree drove the claws on his feet into the branch, hoping that the branch is strong enough and it won't break, Pesmerga got up feeling the taste of blood in his mouth, sensing the red liquid trickle down from his lips, as he was about to get into stance he saw the demon rise up as well, but he also noticed a black pit slowly growing under the summoned beast, slowly the pit started to form a sphere of darkness that started to consume the monster, growing with every second that went by, the sphere of dark chaotic energy in no time consumed the whole body of the summoned slave.
Not a scream was heard and not a trace was left of the demon, the explosion of dark energy left nothing, as it cleared, Sierra Mikain the caster of that spell, walked elegantly towards the dark knight, her steps slow and steady, once she was one step away from him she stopped her vampiric eyes starring at his half covered face.
Pesmerga was expecting a lot of things, but not this… the vampire queen was moving her face towards his, to be exact her mouth was lunging at his lips, his mind was a blur at this moment, he didn't know what was going on, or what to do about it, what and why this blood sucker was doing this, he didn't understand, but he got his answer soon enough, as the pale girl stopped an inch from his mouth, her tong brushed against the trail of blood that began near his lips, licking the red liquid only leaving few marks of dry blood.
It didn't take a second for the vengeful warrior to piece together a picture of what he thought the female vampire was planning, and he didn't like it, at all 'no…I won't be food to a vampire' his hand swiftly moved to her neck grabbing her, Sierra was surprised not anticipating this harsh reaction from the dark knight she just saved, and before she knew it, a sharp pain ran through her back and head, being slammed into the old tree, she once stood behind, stone hard fingers pressed against her neck, stopping the air from entering her body, she faintly gasped but she barley got anything into her lungs, the dark knight pressing harder hoping to break the bones of her neck, but before he could do that he saw two pale hands wrap around his strangling hand, trying to pull his fingers away.
Even with all her physical power she couldn't upstage the strength of the vengeful knight in front of her, she wanted to turn into a bat and escape but she couldn't concentrate with all this pain that kept her away from the simplest thought, she knows that the only way to stop his fingers from snapping her neck like a twig is to some how make it clear to him that she knows what he is and why he is after Yuber, and she would do just that.
"I…know…" the words barley escaped her mouth in a voice that was lower than a whisper, but it did what it was supposed to do, the anger that possessed Pesmerga loosened its grip on his soul, causing him to loosen the grip on the pale girls neck "what?" questioning what she said not being able to hear it properly, for some reason suspicion entered his cold heart, she didn't reply or respond in anyway, he gripped her firmly once more "WHAT?" his voice rang in her ears, wanting to ease this feeling that nagged at him.
"I know who…you are…dark knight of Vansel" she said trying to catch her breath.
Pesmerga to say the least was shocked, never in a hundred years he expected to hear that name once again, a name from his distant past, a name that should have been erased from the pages of history.
His fingers slowly began to lose their grip on the female vampire's neck, finally her hands pushed against his, freeing her self from his grasp, she fell to her knees on the soaked ground, holding her neck in pain, the Coven mistress sat there gasping for air, as the dark knight who almost killed her stood still, stunned by what he had just heard.
Finally beginning to breathe normally the vampire queen slowly rose to her feet only to feel a cold edge touching her neck, she didn't need to look back to know who was the one that drew his sword at her.
"how do you know that name vampire??!!" the vengeful knight asked as he kept his sword to her neck.
"is this anyway to treat a lady especially one that just saved your life" Sierra looked back at him a smile on her face not the least bit afraid of the sword that was near her neck.
"not one who followed me and tried to feed of me" he answered her with a voice coated with rage.
"I wasn't trying to drink your blood human, I just couldn't watch those sweet drops of blood be wasted in this blood drenched ground" she answered him hoping he would put his sword down, she knew that there wasn't a chance that it would happen " and the reason behind following you was…I was bored" she simply answered with a faked innocent look in her eye.
Not phased by the look in her eye, he kept his sword at her neck, although her answers seemed strange he felt they were true, still the first answer annoyed him, he decided not to dwell on it "how do you know that name?" he asked his eyes not getting off her.
This time anger flared into the pale girls eyes "I will not answer any more of your questions dark knight unless you sheath your sword" she spoke to him.
"I will not allow you to escape vampire" he spoke ignoring the look she shot at him.
Finally she could not tolerate the way Pesmerga treated her as if she was a thief who was accused of stealing his money, she turned around facing the dark knight, looking into his eyes that were hidden under the front side of his helmet "if I wanted to escape, I would have done so even your swift sword at this close distance wouldn't stop me mortal" she said to him in a serious tone.
The dark knight looked at her serious eyes, while his mind considered the thought of her being able to escape him 'she is a vampire she could simply turn into mist and escape…' he thought as his sword slowly began to move away from the vampire queen's neck.
A smile slowly appeared on Sierra's face, like nothing had happened here to upset her, while the black knight kept starring at her the rage in his heart slowly began to fade away, his eyes switching their rage filled stare into his usual emotionless gaze.
The rain also began to fade, for days it had kept pouring into the ground, then suddenly with out warning it started to stop, the black clouds begging to crack open letting the rays of the full moon pass on to the earth, the vampire's smile widened as she looked at the full moon, gazing at it as she laid her back against the tree "ahhh…that's better" she took a deep breath.
Pesmerga kept staring at her, his eyes focusing on her every move, making sure she wouldn't try to attack him or escape, he didn't trust anyone and he didn't want to begin now "how do u know that name?" he asked his voice bearing no emotion.
The vampire queen shifted her attention to the black knight "Vansel…how do I know that name" she answered him sarcastically, his only reply was grasping the hilt of his broad sword.
"oh…that Vansel…" smiling at the dark knights expected response, she walked past him "the forgotten city…humans decided to forget about it but I didn't" she looked back at him from the back of her eye as she stopped her movement "I was there when the first cobble stone was put and when…"
the shadowy figure that witnessed many things on this night was left dumb struck 'a minute ago he was trying to kill her…now they are acting as if they were chums' he chuckled as he sharpened his senses not wanting to miss a word of this conversation "hehehehehe…I never thought it would be turned into something like this" he stared as the features of the dark knights emotionless face began to slowly change.
The black knight kept his back to Sierra, the words that she spoke spiked into his cold heart, he did his best not show her the effects that her simple words had on him "you know so much blood sucker…but what do you hope to gain?" he looked back at her his half masked face smiling at her with a wicked a smile.
She giggled softly at the dark knights reply "lets just say I would like to intrude on your little game of cat and mouse" she then looked at him showing him an innocent smile that she understood he would identify it as a fake one.
He turned to face her, his cloak flaring around him "this is my concern, you have no place in this vampire" he spoke as he crossed his arms.
"I know but it would seem you need a little help taking care of him" she said not hiding her amusement of his reply to her.
"I don't need your help vampire" he answered her coldly.
"really? How many years have you been hunting him human? Four hundred years? Or maybe six hundred years?" she said in a voice coated with pure sarcasm.
Before he was going to answer her she continued speaking "and how many times have he escaped you?"
"what do you want vampire?" he asked as he looked her in the eyes.
"I help you with your problem you help me with mine" she pushed back a strand of her hair from her face.
He looked at her suspiciously "meaning?" he asked.
"I have a little problem with a vampire who has been escaping me for the last three hundred years…if you help me kill him…I'll help you kill Yuber…so what do you say dark knight?" she said then crossed her arms on her chest awaiting the vengeful dark knight's answer.

Pesmerga pulled back his sword planning to finish off the summoned slave of his enemy, and then with all his power he brutally swung his weapon at the monsters head, planning to slice it off with a horizontal slash.
But things don't always go according to plan, out of pure desperation the monster swiftly backhanded the dark knight sending him slamming into the lone dead tree, causing the tree to shake violently.
The shadowy figure on the tree drove the claws on his feet into the branch, hoping that the branch is strong enough and it won't break, Pesmerga got up feeling the taste of blood in his mouth, sensing the red liquid trickle down from his lips, as he was about to get into stance he saw the demon rise up as well, but he also noticed a black pit slowly growing under the summoned beast, slowly the pit started to form a sphere of darkness that started to consume the monster, growing with every second that went by, the sphere of dark chaotic energy in no time consumed the whole body of the summoned slave.
Not a scream was heard and not a trace was left of the demon, the explosion of dark energy left nothing, as it cleared, Sierra Mikain the caster of that spell, walked elegantly towards the dark knight, her steps slow and steady, once she was one step away from him she stopped her vampiric eyes starring at his half covered face.
Pesmerga was expecting a lot of things, but not this… the vampire queen was moving her face towards his, to be exact her mouth was lunging at his lips, his mind was a blur at this moment, he didn't know what was going on, or what to do about it, what and why this blood sucker was doing this, he didn't understand, but he got his answer soon enough, as the pale girl stopped an inch from his mouth, her tong brushed against the trail of blood that began near his lips, licking the red liquid only leaving few marks of dry blood.
It didn't take a second for the vengeful warrior to piece together a picture of what he thought the female vampire was planning, and he didn't like it, at all 'no…I won't be food to a vampire' his hand swiftly moved to her neck grabbing her, Sierra was surprised not anticipating this harsh reaction from the dark knight she just saved, and before she knew it, a sharp pain ran through her back and head, being slammed into the old tree, she once stood behind, stone hard fingers pressed against her neck, stopping the air from entering her body, she faintly gasped but she barley got anything into her lungs, the dark knight pressing harder hoping to break the bones of her neck, but before he could do that he saw two pale hands wrap around his strangling hand, trying to pull his fingers away.
Even with all her physical power she couldn't upstage the strength of the vengeful knight in front of her, she wanted to turn into a bat and escape but she couldn't concentrate with all this pain that kept her away from the simplest thought, she knows that the only way to stop his fingers from snapping her neck like a twig is to some how make it clear to him that she knows what he is and why he is after Yuber, and she would do just that.
"I…know…" the words barley escaped her mouth in a voice that was lower than a whisper, but it did what it was supposed to do, the anger that possessed Pesmerga loosened its grip on his soul, causing him to loosen the grip on the pale girls neck "what?" questioning what she said not being able to hear it properly, for some reason suspicion entered his cold heart, she didn't reply or respond in anyway, he gripped her firmly once more "WHAT?" his voice rang in her ears, wanting to ease this feeling that nagged at him.
"I know who…you are…dark knight of Vansel" she said trying to catch her breath.
Pesmerga to say the least was shocked, never in a hundred years he expected to hear that name once again, a name from his distant past, a name that should have been erased from the pages of history.
His fingers slowly began to lose their grip on the female vampire's neck, finally her hands pushed against his, freeing her self from his grasp, she fell to her knees on the soaked ground, holding her neck in pain, the Coven mistress sat there gasping for air, as the dark knight who almost killed her stood still, stunned by what he had just heard.
Finally beginning to breathe normally the vampire queen slowly rose to her feet only to feel a cold edge touching her neck, she didn't need to look back to know who was the one that drew his sword at her.
"how do you know that name vampire??!!" the vengeful knight asked as he kept his sword to her neck.
"is this anyway to treat a lady especially one that just saved your life" Sierra looked back at him a smile on her face not the least bit afraid of the sword that was near her neck.
"not one who followed me and tried to feed of me" he answered her with a voice coated with rage.
"I wasn't trying to drink your blood human, I just couldn't watch those sweet drops of blood be wasted in this blood drenched ground" she answered him hoping he would put his sword down, she knew that there wasn't a chance that it would happen " and the reason behind following you was…I was bored" she simply answered with a faked innocent look in her eye.
Not phased by the look in her eye, he kept his sword at her neck, although her answers seemed strange he felt they were true, still the first answer annoyed him, he decided not to dwell on it "how do you know that name?" he asked his eyes not getting off her.
This time anger flared into the pale girls eyes "I will not answer any more of your questions dark knight unless you sheath your sword" she spoke to him.
"I will not allow you to escape vampire" he spoke ignoring the look she shot at him.
Finally she could not tolerate the way Pesmerga treated her as if she was a thief who was accused of stealing his money, she turned around facing the dark knight, looking into his eyes that were hidden under the front side of his helmet "if I wanted to escape, I would have done so even your swift sword at this close distance wouldn't stop me mortal" she said to him in a serious tone.
The dark knight looked at her serious eyes, while his mind considered the thought of her being able to escape him 'she is a vampire she could simply turn into mist and escape…' he thought as his sword slowly began to move away from the vampire queen's neck.
A smile slowly appeared on Sierra's face, like nothing had happened here to upset her, while the black knight kept starring at her the rage in his heart slowly began to fade away, his eyes switching their rage filled stare into his usual emotionless gaze.
The rain also began to fade, for days it had kept pouring into the ground, then suddenly with out warning it started to stop, the black clouds begging to crack open letting the rays of the full moon pass on to the earth, the vampire's smile widened as she looked at the full moon, gazing at it as she laid her back against the tree "ahhh…that's better" she took a deep breath.
Pesmerga kept staring at her, his eyes focusing on her every move, making sure she wouldn't try to attack him or escape, he didn't trust anyone and he didn't want to begin now "how do u know that name?" he asked his voice bearing no emotion.
The vampire queen shifted her attention to the black knight "Vansel…how do I know that name" she answered him sarcastically, his only reply was grasping the hilt of his broad sword.
"oh…that Vansel…" smiling at the dark knights expected response, she walked past him "the forgotten city…humans decided to forget about it but I didn't" she looked back at him from the back of her eye as she stopped her movement "I was there when the first cobble stone was put and when…"
the shadowy figure that witnessed many things on this night was left dumb struck 'a minute ago he was trying to kill her…now they are acting as if they were chums' he chuckled as he sharpened his senses not wanting to miss a word of this conversation "hehehehehe…I never thought it would be turned into something like this" he stared as the features of the dark knights emotionless face began to slowly change.
The black knight kept his back to Sierra, the words that she spoke spiked into his cold heart, he did his best not show her the effects that her simple words had on him "you know so much blood sucker…but what do you hope to gain?" he looked back at her his half masked face smiling at her with a wicked a smile.
She giggled softly at the dark knights reply "lets just say I would like to intrude on your little game of cat and mouse" she then looked at him showing him an innocent smile that she understood he would identify it as a fake one.
He turned to face her, his cloak flaring around him "this is my concern, you have no place in this vampire" he spoke as he crossed his arms.
"I know but it would seem you need a little help taking care of him" she said not hiding her amusement of his reply to her.
"I don't need your help vampire" he answered her coldly.
"really? How many years have you been hunting him human? Four hundred years? Or maybe six hundred years?" she said in a voice coated with pure sarcasm.
Before he was going to answer her she continued speaking "and how many times have he escaped you?"
"what do you want vampire?" he asked as he looked her in the eyes.
"I help you with your problem you help me with mine" she pushed back a strand of her hair from her face.
He looked at her suspiciously "meaning?" he asked.
"I have a little problem with a vampire who has been escaping me for the last three hundred years…if you help me kill him…I'll help you kill Yuber…so what do you say dark knight?" she said then crossed her arms on her chest awaiting the vengeful dark knight's answer.
