Chapter 1
It’s snowing again. I’m not quite sure why I’m even upset about it. It always snows here in Detroit, Michigan. It’s another typical winter , however many of the townsfolk seem to believe that this weather is much worse than normal.
Winter doesn’t bother m e much. In fact, I happen to enjoy the crisp cold air against my pale skin while I’m patrolling. Winter means more work for me, and I enjoy what I do. All work and no play has become a bit of a lifestyle for me. I can’t see myself enjoying anything other than my profession.
I’m a Vampire Hunter. It’s a strange line of work, I know it, but Vampires have played a major role in my life. They are the reason I am what I am today. Vampires, were the vicious murder ers of my parents, leaving me to witness the aftermath of their crimes. It was stupid of them to do, especially since they have a sworn enemy for many years to come now.
Once your eyes are open to the danger and madness of these ruthless and selfish killers, you’ll never be able to close them again. Killing Vampires is what fuels me. It’s an exhilarating feeling destroying these creatures. As I stare out the window watching the sunset, I know that my home has now become a target for them. Vampires love winter, simply because the days are shorter and the nights are longer. More time for them to hunt and feed on us.
Ten years ago, humans were exposed to the truth that Vampires and Werewolves exist. They have walked among us for centuries. For a few years, humans tried to co-exist with the two species, dominance was nothing short of human nature. Our political leaders wanted to control them, but the creatures would not be controlled. They had been at the top of the food chain for centuries and they liked it there. Therefore, a war that broke out, it lasted three years and thanks to science—we won. We discovered a biological weapon that remained harmful to both Vampires and Werewolves while also being completely harmless to humans.
I still remember vividly the day it was announced. Some of the hunters and I returned to one of the strongholds after a routine patrol. As we walked through the door a thick musk of copper invaded our nostrils. Blood.
Somehow the vampires had gotten into the stronghold and killed everyone. Blood covered everything. They didn’t even bother to feed off us anymore, they already had enough from the hundreds of thousands of human casualties during the war. We were losing the war badly at the time. It was in the bleakness of that room that the message of a new weapon was blasted over the radio. A weapon that would change everything and put us on level ground with both vampires and werewolves had been created. This weapon in its liquid form, was injected into bullets, making Vampires and Werewolves an easy kill.
Politics are not my thing, but our leaders are working with the Vampire and Werewolf communities to work out a treaty. Until then, the extermination of those who’s cross human boundaries nothing more than pest that need to be terminated.
Vampires and Werewolves now claim our local state parks and forests. It’s safer that way, and as long as they stay there they get to live.
After watching the sun set from the apartment window of my loft, I knew that it was time to get to work. It’ s only 5:00pm, but the moon had risen, shining brightly over my damaged city. I don’t know why, but I felt slightly uneasy about today. I had butterflies in my stomach, but no reason to have them. It was just meant to be another normal day. I should’ve trusted my gut instincts.
Chapter 2
My name is Hanah, and most would see me as an average causation female. I’m attractive, but not beautiful enough to call myself model material. I stand five feet six inches tall, which is actually considered short in my city. I’m petite and curvy, but you’ll never know it because I keep my figure buried in my combat gear.
Work starts at nightfall, and there is no
