Chapter 2

The words rang through the blonde vampire hunter's head. Running a hand through his hair, Leon sighed. Sunrise was to arrive soon, and the man wanted to leave by then. Rolling onto his side, he closed his pools.

The first streams of light streamed in through the glassless window, hitting the blonde on the face, causing him to stir. Moaning he looked up at the ceiling, mentally checking off a list. 'First things first I need to get some supplies.' Pushing himself off the bed, he walked over to the other side of the barren room. Grabbing his whip, and pouch Leon left through the door, leaving the inn.

Heading down the stone paved street ways, the man looked back and forth at the beginnings of the daily hustle and bustle of life. A child ran up to his leg, tugging gently on the red and white material. Looking down Leon smiled, bending down to the child's height. "Hello. And who might you be?"

The girl giggled, bring her chubby hands to pick at the bottom of her frayed brown cloth. Dirt covered her face, and clung to her red hair. "My name is Rebecca. Mommy says when I get older I'm going to meet someone special. Mommy said that person would be a icky boy. Will I fall in love with a icky boy one day mister?"

The child's innocence radiated. Chuckling lightly at the girl's antics Leon decided to put his mission on hold for a few moments. "Well this mister says yes. Rebecca where is your mother?"

The child looked up, blue pools full of unshed tears. "She was taken away."

Leon tilted his head, puzzled by the child's odd behavior. "Taken away?"

The girl started to sob, hiccupping with each intake of air. "M-m-ommy was w-wa-s t-t-t-ak-en a-w-ay." Leon extended an arm around the small body, ignoring the grime and filth transferring itself onto the white. This calmed the girl enough for her to talk without the slight stutter. "She was taken away by a man with red hair, green eyes and really long front teeth." Leon tensed slightly, the description of the supposed vampire. The girl noticed, pausing in her tirade to look up. "Mister is something wrong."

Leon shook his head no, voicing his answer aloud. "You shouldn't worry..."

"Rebecca come back here." An older woman with graying hair called out. The same grime and dirt clinging to her body, as the same torn, tattered brown cloth.

The child looked over, then back at the blonde hunter. "I have to go Mister, but we can hang out again right?" The older woman called out once again more forcefully this time.

"Sure." Leon stated simply, knowing the words weren't true. The girl seemed satisfied though, turning her head one more time, waving then running off laughing. Alone once more, the hunter continued to walk, more hastily this time in an effort to make up for lost time.

Making it to the end of the street, Leon turned to a small building with a wooden sign above it. The store was filled with potions, antidotes and other herbal medicines. Walking over to the counter, he stocked up, ignoring the look he received from the keeper. "Thank you." Placing the items in his pouch, Leon left ready to face whatever laid ahead of him.

It took less than half a day for the sight of a large stone castle to come into view. Leon had passed very few travelers, but had gained a little more information. A nameLooking up at the castle from his distance, the hunter braced himself, knowing that once he passed that point there would be no help. 'This is for you Sarah and all the other's who have suffered your fate.' Deciding to wait and rest, until the next day to continue, Leon set up camp.

Hours later in the dead of the night, a scream rang out. Leon jolted up, causing dirt to fling into the air. Looking around frantically he tried to get his bearings. Above him was a small figure dangling in the air, being held by an invisible force. "Rebecca." The man whispered, as the figure moved into the moonlight. Slamming a fist into the ground, he looked up at her retreating back one last time.

"I must move out and save her before any harm befalls her." Quickly packing, Leon left his camp, the innocent child motivating his insane move.

From behind the brush, Joachim stepped out, wiping away any dirt "He finally left." The man looked down the road, with a sympathetic look. Shaking his head quickly at the pang of sympathy he felt. 'I am a soulless being. Soulless beings to not feel sympathy.' This thought led to other's the vampire did not want to tread on. He had a mission to accomplish and nothing would stop him.

Quickly gathering himself, Joachim started to float down the road, silently. Creeping in and out of the brush and trees, following the other. The castle seemed to glow with glee, at the notion of two more victims. Something that the being noticed from a distance, giving him a sense of weariness.
