Monster Hunters: Beat Grave and Erina Hell's Adventures.

Chapter 30: The Blood Rose

In a dark street, a girl is walking home after working in a pub as a waitress. That day had been terribly bad for her. Her boyfriend left her and she saw him with other girl already, a perv drunk man tried to sob her while working, she was looking for a new job of what she could do thanks to her studies, being a chef, but nothing came out. She truly was angry because of her bad luck. But after this night, she would think that all before in her life was a lucky day.

A black haired vampire with a scar in his left shoulder was walking around the same street and he left in the ground a little black ball. The girl noticed that and she grabbed it. The ball exploded leaving a smoke of a sleeping drug that left her unconscious. Then many vampires came to the area and started to drink her blood until they left her dry.

After several days of lonely and easy work, Beat was bored and just wanted a more hard case. Erina was happy with the cases she had, even if they were easier than the ones she solves with Beat. Also it meant that she was a good monster hunter since many of the cases she had, the people asked for her and not anyone else.
But Beat and Erina did not expect this case. Last time they both heard of vampires was in the house of Ceasar Winggates and surely they both did not want another encounter with vampires.

Erina arrived to White Hope HQ with a black T-shirt with a phrase: I'm from White Hope, so what? and the symbol of White Hope, some blue jeans and black sneakers. In her left hand she had a black wristwatch.
Lately she met many people of White Hope and she went to talk with Carlo. An italian man with long black hair, black eyes, he looked pretty strong. He always used a red bandana as a headband, always wore a black tank top, black trousers and black shoes. If he was cold he put a jacket and go on. He always was flirting with girls. First time he tried to flirt with Erina, he got knocked out by her when he went too close.
-Carlo: Hey bella ragazza! How's going all?
-Erina: Pretty well. But you never give up?
-Carlo: Never! When I see a girl, I have to try to flirt!
-Erina: Well, thanks for the compliment.

Beat saw Erina talking with Carlo and for a moment he got angry. Then he calmed himself down. And Sylvia was looking at Beat and started giggling.
-Beat: Calm yourself. Carlo is like that... Leave the bird fly.
-Sylvia: Someone is jealous....
-Beat: No! It's not like that! I only don't want to scare a good girl like Erina with Carlo's puny tries of flirting!
-Sylvia: You can't lie to me so easily. You love her already.
-Beat: It isn't like that at all.
-Sylvia: Geez. Beat, lying isn't your strong point. You wouldn't be watching her talking with Carlo if that was true.But you don't want her to know how the others died. All of your companions. Also, she's so nice that even your heart melts. How could you not fall for her? That was my question. Still new case. Just keep your smooth talk.
-Beat: She surely hates my style of working.
-Sylvia: Well, nop. Only the part of kill at first chance.
-Beat: It's for her safety.
-Sylvia: But is a little merciless. But she'll understand why you do that when I tell her that you were watching her while talking with Carlo. Overprotective companion that wants to become something more for the girl that he loves.
-Beat: Don't tell her that! Please! Also, why she would be with a guy like me. I cannot die.
-Sylvia: Since she arrived you have stopped in searching a way to die. She gave you the will to live.
-Beat: I learned that I couldn't take care of this curse. So I decided to live with it. But... Life without her starts seeming boring.
-Sylvia: Go for it, Beat. I might even try to help you.
-Beat: Well, a girl like you may be of help.
-Sylvia: I know. I have a new case for you two. I'll send the info to Erina.

Meanwhile, Carlo and Erina were talking of music. But Carlo was unable to find a music that he liked and Erina liked. Erina recieves a message in her phone with information of the new case and Beat starts walking to the garage to grab his car.
-Beat: Erina, let's go.
-Erina: (smiles) Yes, boss! See you later, Carlo. But you should listen more rock and less of that techno music and KPOP.
-Carlo: Arrivederci, ragazza! “That Beat, coming and taking out Erina like that! How he dares!? Wait... And if he... It could be, she's way too nice. Then I'm lucky to be alive."
Erina and Beat go inside of the car and go to the scene of the crime.

I've been in a writer block lately with this story. No way to do a good chapter blocked like that.
