Undying

Chapter 10: A LEGEND IS BORN

It's been a month since I take on my alter ego, X. The Hunters have been gaining many supports and money around the world since many supernatural beings have been proven that they exist. The Hunters has becomed a rich terrorist organization than I expected. Many people has even sign on to become our member.

We became heroes and many people loved us even though we were terrorist. We even reduced the crime rate over 70% but we still have some dirt on us. We kill criminals without remorse and we even steal their money for our organization to become better and bigger. We managed to eliminate some vampires and werewolves that are a big problem to us on the way.

Goverments around the world noticed our doings and ordered a thousand men to hunt us down. But they can't, because I am now the leader of The Hunters and I am already planning to rule the entire world and free humanity from the monsters that have enslaved them.

Our member are now over 400 and we have enough weapons to defeat an entire country. Still, The Brotherhood and Sabre Tooth haven't made a move. I have to be careful since I'm putting many human lives in this game.

I have been a leading a double life, one is a private investigator that only takes the case if it interested him and the other is a masked terrorist wearing a dark trench coat with black shirt underneath and also known as X, the leader of The Hunters and the man who will free humanity from monsters and rule the whole world.

Since then, I have discovered many supernatural beings and I have also made many friends in this new life.

Finally got a bedroom actually. Two of them. A lot has changed in this damn house.

I have given humanity what they haven't felt for a long time............ Hope.

I leaned back on my seat and grabbed my strawberry sundae on the table.

"This double life is getting on my nerves." I muttered

"That's because you told your name is X and lead a criminal organization that is also a revolution against vampires and werewolves when you can just live an immortal life!" Tara shouted.

"That would be boring, besides I still didn't find my killer nor even a big hint on him. Before I died, I was investigating a business man named Harry Warren. He was suspected of smuggling drugs and weapons into the United States. I have already assumed that he was the one who killed me. If I see him right now, I'll kill him but.. I can't! Since he is already dead. He was murdered after the day he killed me. And I still don't get why I'm the only detective was killed, many were suspecting him and he has enough power wipe them out. Since then I can only believe that he was just a hindrance that is just means to an end." I continued eating my sundae.

"Ugh! I can't do this anymore! Ryan! You even used me so you can make The Huntes your ally."

"Um, yes. I'm really sorry about that, but it was the only way I could make the hunters since they are trying to kill me. Besides that, you were the who gave me that idea and you also told me that you are tired of this current world. So, I'm just fulfilling your wish by changing this rotten world you hated." I was then interrupted by the ring of my cellphone.

Franz is calling me. Franz Damian is a vampire information broker that would do anything for money which made me believe that I should not trust him very well. Still, he's my friend and ally, for now. He's not in league with The Hunters and he only knew me as Mark Rockstone which is an alias. I have met him on Manhattan when he was about to sell information to a Sabre Tooth member. There! I confronted him and killed the member as X. He begged for his life only to to be sent and work for one of X's best men named Mark Rockstone which is still me and he didn't even bother to notice. He doesn't know much since the only one who knows my true identity is Tara Dracula with the exception of Shiva and Leon Fletcher.

I put the phone on my ear and answered him.

"I have got an interesting job for you Mark!" He exclaimed with excitement on his voice.

"What is it?" I licked my fingers as I finished my sundae.

"Um, there is this very creepy giant house on Attica, Kansas. It it said that the house is found with dead bodies and it is haunted by a ghost which I do not believe because ghosts do no exist. I can only say that there is different supernatural being that lives in there. I don't know, there could be vampires, werewolves, witches, or fucking warlocks in there, playing a sick game. Also, the pay is good. Some rich guy is willing to pay for whoever solves the mysteries in the house. I'm already here! Waiting for you. Anyway! That's all!" He ends the call.

This is interesting. Fine! I'll play your game. Whoever you are. Justice will prevail.

I smirked deviously and clenched my fists. I wore my black leather hoodie, black shirt, and black gloves. I head out as I carried my bag filled with weapons and equipment to the trunk of my car. I slowly walked back to Tara. She's sitting on the couch lazily and watching some romance drama movie.

"Once you get back. I have something to tell you." She said without looking at me and her eyes still glued to the screen.

"Can't you say it to me now?" I scratched my nape.

"Your busy right now. So.... No. Now leave! You must do it quickly on this job. Leave!" She shouted. Her voice echoed throughout the house, making me look down as I slowly walked out and closed the door. I heard sniffling and crying.

She's crying? What have I done? I have done nothing to her. We never even speak or look at each other. So what is bothering her? Whatever! It's none of my business.

I walked to my car and opened the door before entering. I then inserted my key. I turned it and the car's engine suddenly starts. I sighed and checked my fuel. I can't reach Kansas with this. I then drove to a nearby gas station and filled my car with gas before driving to Kansas.

It's been a while since I refueled. I usually have men to do this. But this is life.
