"Chase NightKiller CH2" by Omri Gottlib

We were walking peacefully down the street when then out from the alley and from behind us came out some men. There were many of them. They began to circle around us and then they stopped us from walking any farther. One of the men came up in front of us and said, Give us all your money and you live. The man had black hair and a short beard. His dark brown eyes lusted with greed. He wore a short jacket and tight jeans. His whole left arm was one giant tattoo. Him and his whole gang of fourteen men, all looked horrible. Then their eyes turned to look at Hailo. The leader started walking around her examining her. Well, well what have we here, he stated to his companions as he touched her. Get away from her, I shouted in anger. A man behind me hits me with something hard and I fall to the ground. He quickly picks me up and tosses me into the bushes so distance away. Then they laugh and the leader says, I have ‘first shot’. I heard what they had said about Hailo and with rage I flew at them and knocked several of them down on the ground. Then Hailo too went into joining in on the hunt. They drew their swords and attacked us. Remembering I was weaponless I used my speed and strength to pin one of them down and I feasted. When they saw me drink the blood of one of their friends, they began to scream and run away. Hailo walked after them and they led themselves down into a dead end. We walked up to the shivering men and one of them fainted. We attacked them and drank their blood.

The next night was quiet. I had a weird feeling that something was wrong. Something is following us, I whispered to Hailo. I began to think what it must be. My first thought was that it was a vampire hunter. Then I though that it was most likely another bandit, in the dangerous nighttime streets of Great City. We quickened our pace and then something flew with great speed, right past our faces. We stopped and then the man flew in front of us, or better yet he seemed to have teleported there. What do you want? Why have you followed us, I asked the mysterious man. My name is Dorian Amanrak, of the Red Fang clan, the man stated with pride in his voice. And I come seeking a love. I was in the tavern and I saw you there. I wish to wed with your daughter, the man continued. I gave him a look and said, She is taken by me, her husband. You cannot have her now leave us be. The man looked at me with a smirk and said, Do you not know the ways of the vampires. You cannot keep a bride that is wanted, if you cannot defend her against others that seek a companion. Come a duel to the death. Do not worry my amateur friend. I will kill you quick and painlessly, laughed the man. I gave a look to Hailo and she knew that I could not say good-bye. She walked up to me and handed me a sharp blade. I immediately felt a surge of energy flow through me. She then came to my ear and whispered, It’s my fathers. Its called Sorven, it will serve you well. Go get him. She walked to the sidelines and sat there watching. I walked into the clearing. The man gave me another of his smirk’s, and unsheathed his Lang blade, a long sword that is hollowed out to lighten the sword. The blade is made of steel from the Gian Mountains. The hilt was decorated with rare magical crystals. I then unsheathed my short sword. Its hilt had one dark red stone, and the pommel was a hollowed out crystal. We then charged at one another, exchanging quick blows and slashes. Somehow I was faster and the mans movements seemed to go in slow motion. I just stood there in amazement, dodging every single attempt to hit me. I took my blade and began to fight back. I managed to cut the man several times. He darted away from me and landed on the ground. The man gave me a look and raised his hand up at me. His hand began to glow and before I could figure out what he had done, I was frozen. I focused on breaking free but It was Impossible. The man came to me and with one look readied to finish me off. Then Hailo came from the sidelines and swung a punch at the man. He quickly grabbed her arm and tossed her into a building nearby, shattering the brick wall. In a rage I never felt before I screamed, shattering the unbreakable ice and darting at the man. I cut his arm off, severing it clean. I took a deep breath as I neared Hailo. She was alive but badly wounded. In rage the man focused all his energy and he began to glow a deep blue. Then with a scream he let out a wave of energy shattering the buildings nearby. I was alive, but wounded badly. My left leg had gone limp but I could still fly. I picked up Sorven and charged at the weakened vampire, stabbing him in the heart. I felt new power flow through me and I somehow now knew the way to cast the skills that were used against me. The life force left the leader of the Red Fang. I knew that with his death I would get hunted down, but I had gotten to keep my beloved Hailo. I flew to her landing on my knees. I picked her up flying away into the night.
