Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Chapter 3 - Vampires of New York , beware

‘’Well, isn’t this a red letter day.’’

I murmured when I saw another vampire in a far corner of the central park. The New York City

authorities should name this park a vampire sanctuary. Not that they had any idea who rules this

place at night. I had never failed to hunt down one or two vamps each night I search this area.

Central park was the ground zero for most of the vampire signals these days. It was like they were

heating up the place for a special purpose.

 A male vampire, isn’t this a day to remember. Yeah, it’s going to be. Male vamps are rare. It’s the

females who rule and run the vampire race. But the few males they somehow manage to create

were really powerful and easy to kill because of that same reason. They were overconfident about

their powers and always underestimated their opponents. There were rumors within hunters that

male vamp numbers are going up.

I hid my Duffel bag behind a tree and loaded my weapon kit with as much weapons I can carry in

my belt and small back pack. You need to be ready for anything when you‘re fighting with a vamp.

You’ll never know what they will bring to a battle.

I moved closer to take good look. Lucky for me the clearing was covered with a circle of trees. The

vamp was feeding off a young man. Must be 19 or 20; yeah, somewhere close to my age.  The

vampire looked to be in his mid thirties. But hard to say if it’s true with a vampire, they were always

way off from their visual age.

‘’Are you looking for something’’. Uncle Samuel must be rolling in his grave, where ever it is. I just

forgot his first lesson. All ways watch your back!

I turn around to see a man who should be in his late twenties glaring at me. With his nerd good

looks and suit ,anybody will think he’s a businessman here to take a rest after a long busy day.But

with my hunter senses I knew I was in audience with another bloodsucker.

‘’This is not a good place for late walks you know. This place is full of robbers.’’ And leeches.

He studied my Denim jeans, light blue shirt and back pack so I knew what he was thinking. A stupid

college boy, they are always easy targets but after the high school kids of course, all ways in the

wrong place at the wrong time. That’s all you want to fool most of the vamps.

‘’ I think I saw some guy killing a man i'm calling the call the cops’’. 

I took my phone out trying to look harmless and scared as possible. This job is not so fun unless

you make it so. I decided to play with him for a while, it’s nothing more than they deserve.
