The Mates of Dragons

Not A Vampire

"I'm telling you, it's a group. You can't deny that there are vampires hiding here." Bryce said and there was a bit of head nodding.

"There is, but I think that there is something else around here as well. I can feel it, like a pulse or something. I feel this strong energy from time to time." Kendra said. She really did, she could not put her finger on it. Like she was just missing whatever it was.

"Well that doesn't help us much, and we haven't found anything to go on. There are plenty of local legends and half the town says they've seen flying demons. Doesn't help us. I think this is just a case of crazed vampires. So we'll seek them out, destroy them and head home." Riley said and there was an agreement among the group.

Kendra was happy to go home, but she was also sad to have hoped to see something as legendary as a dragon. Though hoping that something like that was real, was about as childish as believing that the world was a peaceful safe place.

"So how are we going to draw them out?" Kendel asked. A taller thinner man who was wicked with a blade. Kendra glanced at Derrick who leaned back looking bored. He wasn't really needed for this part, he was the doctor/vet and it wasn't his duty to go out hunting.

"Kendra draws them like a magnet, so we'll use her and Lee. Bryce you're loud with natural energy, you'll draw them to you as well." Kendra made a circle on the table with her finger. She hated playing bait, more than not you ended up needing some kind of medical attention.

"The sun is just setting, they come out within the first hour to prey on us. We'll try to find their nest. We already have the area they like to find their victims ." Kendra just listened and moved off when dismissed to go and get ready. It took her a short time and she had on black slacks and a white blouse. A few weapons tucked on her.

They had been here over a week, and scoured the entire area looking for any sign that the attacks here or neighboring areas were something other than the already known. Not one sign that something like a dragon was in the area, just a few "sightings" here or there.

A young local boy swore that he saw a man with wings come down from the mountain and land in an alleyway several days ago. But seeing he was the only one, and enjoyed comic books to much he was dismissed. Though you would be surprised children weren't normally making it up.

"Try not to drink to much hey?" Derrick said giving her a smile and she blew him a short kiss.

"I love my liquor what can I say?" She looked at Lee, who dressed up looked pretty hot. Bryce moved out the door before them already deciding on where he was going to go and scope it out. The rest of the team was just going to wait in the shadows and watch.

Kendra moved from the building and found her way into the town, she made a few stops moving about. She was very good at playing like she was so absorbed in looking at all the things around her that she was oblivious to others. However time went by and nothing happened. Looked like a bust tonight. It was well past when vampires normally fed now. Kendra just gave a sigh moving into what was like a very small bar.

She sat down and asked for a drink. Thinking that you'd manage to find them in your first try was pushing it. As much as people might think you went out, and bam there was the bad guy, you were more likely to get mugged than attacked by a vampire. They just weren't that common.

She gave the bartender a smile and in the local dialect got her drink and sat there. From the corner of her eye she was watching the others in the bar. Several were watching her and a few made comments that her ears picked up but she ignored. There was one man that caught her eye, he was thin and taller. From here she could feel oddness to him. It set off her warning so she kept him in her sights, and he was watching her. She knew he wasn't human, maybe she was lucky this time.
