East Forest, 8th March 2011

Elektra chided silently as she rubbed her sore neck. It had been a tiring night for her. She killed a Succubus earlier tonight before going to the graveyard and killed the uncontrollable zombies. They were tiring creatures, really, causing her enough trouble than she could ask for.

Succubus can be a considered as a very dangerous creature. A female demon appears very enchanting and alluring. They seemed like human, appearing like a very beautiful woman, which makes it hard for anyone to realize it. They seduce men, sometimes-even women into having sexual encounters with them before leaving them dead.

Not all of them are evil. Some of them are just being them, living in their nature and some others thought it would be fun to kill their prey, taking in too much of them until they lose everything.

The Elves came to her and told her that there was a Succubus in town and this one is probably looking for more. Elektra had never met them before but she knew how they work. Due to the Succubus nature, she had to snuck into a club and watch her every move, which left her disgusted half of the way before going into action when she was about to kill the man she had seduced.

Elektra, however, made a stupid move. She underestimated the Succubus. They were good fighters. The demon managed to make her sword fell off far from her. The Succubus almost bit her neck off if it wasn’t for the dagger in her pocket. She managed to plunge the dagger in the Succubus' eye, before rolling to her sword and cut its head off.

Sighing as she straightened her sore back due to the impact from the battle, she had with the Succubus, she entered the forest, patrolling with the moonlight guiding her way.

When she was deep in the forest, her eyes spot an orange glimmer in the dark few metres away from her. Her brows furrowed and she titled her head to the sky and saw smoke rising above the green trees.

Fire.

Without wasting any time, she started running towards the orange glimmer. Heat smacked her skin as a flaming house came into her view. The sudden noise few feet from the cottage made her turns her head swiftly. She saw a few men running from the scene. Judging from their speed, she knew they were vampires.

Sweats started to cover her and soot hung above her. She looked at the house and thought back to the vampire that escaped. She could feel that something was just not right aside from the burning cottage.

The door of the cottage was open, and thankfully, it was not covered with flames. However, she could see how bad it was inside of it.

She craned her neck as she knew what she was about to do was stupid before running into the flaming house.

The heat amplified and stuck on her skin. The soot in the air made her cough and she was sure her face was painted with them.

She stood on the wooden ground that was not covered with fire. The walls both on her side were not burning horribly, making her able to get out if she was fast enough.
