In Any Lifetime I'll Find You

Chapter 4

“Bible, that’s the last of it" Bible nodded at his partner and pull down his mask panting. He reached for his phone and call his boss while he twist his arm to see the wound he got from his fight. It wasn't deep thankfully. After 2 rings his call was answered “Sir, the operation has been executed. Send in the cleaning team".

It has been 5 years since he work under vampire hunters association. That unfortunate night where he lost his parents came Luke, a hunter  killing the vampire seconds before it went to Bible's neck.

Bible with his wounded calf could only shut his eyes, accepting his fate. He can reunite with his parents who lied down, dead not far from him.

*Slashed*

A small gust of wind surprised him, Bible opened his eyes and look at his rescuer. His eyes searching for the vampire and he realised there’s scattered dust in front of him. ‘Its dead’. Luke holds his cigarette and clicked his tongue looking at Bible.  He pointed his swords below Bible's chin tilting it up to take good look at the boy. Making sure he's clean from vampire bites.

“What’s your name, boy?”

“Bible” he stared at the man, the dagger in his eyes freeze his blood. Just like that vampire did. But he fought it to appear brave.

Luke nodded, he noticed Bible's eyes shake with fear. Well who doesn't after witnessing your parents passed right before your eyes all because of vampire. He noticed Bible's injured calf. The hunter pulled out his clothes to wipe his weapon clean. He trailed his finger on the sword looking for any defect. Bible continues looking up at him, he haven't utter any words after telling his name.

“That will leave a scar...We better get it treated" he said and Bible look at his wounded legs, his pants already soaked with blood. Bible’s eyes then move to where his parents is. Bible's shoulder tremble and he cries silently for their death. They were happily enjoying their dinner and it went down tragically when a vampire crashed into their house.

Luke bowed his head with guilt. He was few minutes late to save this family. It is not new in his job to come across childrens who became orphan resulted from vampire attack. Most of them he send to orphanage and some he would take them in to be a hunter.

Luke pulled out his phone to inform of the situation and he felt his long coat being tugged down. “I-I want to be l-like you..” Bible said. Luke nodded and held out his hand.

Luke took care of him till he recovered and trained Bible with combat skills. It was not shocking for him that Bible able to climb up and become top tier among other hunters quickly. Bible hold on to his words to make sure to kill those on the list to prevent others from having the same fate as him.

The vampire hunter association only track down vampires who went mad from suppressing their bloodlust and those who freely feed on humans and thus are a threat.

This is his side job, in the morning he is a florist and at night a vampire hunter.

Bible climbed into the van and quietly sat on his seats. His minds being occupied by that beautiful man, a vampire who approached him yesterday.

*Flashback*

The bartender were talking with Bible and he stop to smile at someone behind him. Bible raised his eyebrows slowly drinking the champagne, curious to see who he's smiling at. He turned his head and meet with tall godlike feature approaching towards him. That black deep v neck shirt look amazing on him.

‘A vampire..’ his senses switched on alert to be careful. Jeff reached out his hand, passing his right cheek to take something behind him. A soft brush of wind made his hair bounce off his cheek followed by woody scent he somehow familiar with. This stranger is so close to him, he struggles to breathe properly. He remains still.
