CHAPTER 2: Evangeline's Secrets

As the figure started moving, she began the search for a new prey. Since the news about Sakura being bitten by a mysterious thing spread, nobody dared to get out at night, especially after midnights. She felt nothing although not a single soul is found.

Meanwhile, at the same time, the night patrol team had been geared up for the assault. Chris wears his standard Vampire Hunter attire, while Sherry wears her miko robe, holding a broom in her hands. Resha on the other hand, had a hammer in her hands, wearing a long sleeved black T-shirt paired with a short skirt.

"Don't you feel cold, Resha-nee-chan?" Sherry asked when she saw her twin wearing her usual skimpy clothes.

"Not even a single bit." She responded. "By the way, where's our bait?"

Arikado, who also wearing the same robe as Sherry's, pointed at the figure at the residence's door.

"I'm here." A familiar voice caught Chris, but the face didn't match the voice.

"Amar Ma'aruf…?"

"It's me, you idiotic vampire hunter! You proposed this plan to embarrass me, didn't you?"

"Preposterous! I made this perfectly to capture the menacing vampire…" Chris yelled back.

Amar Ma'aruf had transformed completely into a girl (?!). His hair was light yellow in color, with a ribbon replacing his headband. Amar-chan was wearing an ivory dress, complete with a skirt that reached his knees and a necklace around his neck.

"You look so weird."

"If you're going to blame anyone, blame Chris first."

"GO!"

Resha dragged him away with her psychic powers, and she made him walk around the street where Sakura was bitten the other day.

"You look wonderful, A-chan."

"Shut up!"

As he walked, he kept his eyes in caution. That's when he sensed a scent that seems very familiar….

Coming in sight.

When the figure started chasing Amar Ma'aruf, Sherry appeared, using her broom to knock the mysterious thing.

"Got it!" She screamed, but only to be lifted off the air by the attacker. "HELP!"

"Sherry-nee-chan!"

Without warning, she too was bitten. But not for long…

"Axe Crush!"

The Item Crash made the attacker release Sherry from her grasp. Amar caught her in time before she slams to the earth.

"Grand Cross!" Chris yelled when he got the space to do the Item Crash.

The attack made the attacker's wizard-like hat fell off. The identity of the stalker is then uncovered.

"E-Evangeline?"

"You're able to uncover my secrets, I could say. But I should be going now." She said, as if she's taunting Amar Ma'aruf.

"Wait! Wing card, release!"

"You'll never catch me!" She kept taunting.

"Taking enemy contact, need assistance!" Amar-chan yelled, calling upon his familiars.

"What?"

His animal friends, a cat, a bird, a dragon and a turtle assaulted Evangeline, until she was completely disabled to focus on Amar Ma'aruf.

"Gurthang Blade!" Amar-chan bellowed, driving his claws on Evangeline. She fell off to the ground, but later, she jumped away on top of a building.

Amar Ma'aruf followed suit, turning his mother's staff back to his sword after changing back to his normal self.

"Evangeline, why did you do this?"

She gave out an evil laugh. "I wanted to have fun torturing your soul, that is." She then continued… "I started with Sakura, so I could scrub that cheerful face off yours."

"Damn you!"

Amar swung his katana to the vampire. She dodged it, and suddenly, someone pushed him off the roof. Luckily, he could jump back with his Hi Jump, stomping back on the roof. Then, he could clearly see the attacker; Evangeline's robotic companion, Karakuri Chachamaru.

"Chachamaru?!"

"Finish him off, Chachamaru."

Chachamaru gave Amar Ma'aruf a punch, but he deftly blocked it. However, her punch was like a Golem; it's hard like a rock.

"AAH!"

"I'm sorry, Amar-chan."

He quickly gave Chachamaru a spin kick before he could fall off the roof. As Chachamaru came back, Amar quickly back flipped to the other shop house's roof.

But after he did, Chachamaru used her rocket punch on Amar Ma'aruf. He was thrown away, but Amar managed to control the flip, before he could fall back between the gaps of the shop houses again.

Then, Amar-chan's eyes started to tinge red. Although she couldn't see the eyes, Evangeline could sense the malicious aura building up around him.

"Chachamaru, be careful." She advised the robot.

"Yes, Evangeline-sama."

She was about to strike back when Amar Ma'aruf caught her neck. Both fell off the shop house's roof, and this time, they fell on the grass near a vacant lot.

"Even you're a robot, I could break you off anytime I want!"

Chachamaru used her Energy Blast to get Amar Ma'aruf off her body. The inu hanyou fell unconscious immediately.

"I'd better used this chance while he's out cold."

Carefully, she lifted the inu hanyou, biting his neck.

"That will be enough. Let's go, Chachamaru." She said, after sucking in Amar's hanyou blood.

I had fun tonight. He's much better than I thought. Looks like he's improving every second.

Evangeline disappeared as the others came for rescue. As Arikado and Resha found him, they were horrified that Amar had been bitten. First, it's Sakura, then, Sherry, and then the inu hanyou himself…

A/N: Like in Castlevania Pursuit, a vampire had bitten Amar Ma'aruf. Not like in CVP, however, I would like to announce that Evangeline's bite didn't have much effect like in CVP. This is the first time he's bitten, as a matter of fact and in CVP it's the second time. So, read on and review. TQ.
