The girl stopped in an alleyway that was familiar to her. Leaning against a wall she cried. Mentally battling with herself over what she had just learned that had happened to her. Only hours ago she was getting ready to go out with her friends and have a great time, now she was...she was dead. Getting off the wall she looked at herself and looked at her skin. It was pointless as the lighting in the alleyway wasn't the best, but she could see as if the sun were out. Her skin was pale. Looking at her finger nails she saw that they were thicker. In anger she scratched at the brick wall, the nails were only slightly damaged. Shaking her head she went to start walking away when her stomach tightened and she clutched it, falling to her knees. Tears and gasped of pain escaped her and she clutched her stomach so tight she could feel the skin being broken by her own nails. Her face dropped as she could feel her face changing, suddenly she looked at her arms and saw the skin went a little darker. Then, moving her hands to her face she felt it...it had been contorted. Her eyes widened but only for a millisecond as the pain in her stomach forced her to stand and howl in agony. Suddenly, there was a smell, there were a few smells. Although one stood out to the others. It was blood. Licking her lips involuntarily, she was off, looking for the source of the smell. Her new instincts taking over. she was only vaguely aware of what she was doing.

Colin followed her as quickly as she could move and waited at the top of the roof of the building she was making her way to. There had been a fight and one man's nose had been burst open. Colin glared down at the man who had been punched, he had attempted to rape a young woman in that alley. The young woman's boyfriend had found them and heard her pleas, saved her and then taken the man outside and beaten him severely. The couple went back inside the building to call the police, if Colin had gotten there before the boyfriend, the rapist's would not be breathing. He returned the throwing star to his pouch and watched as the girl he was tracking changed back to normal and made her way swiftly to the back alley. He watched her with malice, although as much as he hated her and her kind, it was not her fault. It was Leucien's...and Leucien wanted her alive. So Colin could only watch in complete and utter disgust.

The girl still had her dress on from being out with her friends, it was a little dirty and a little torn, but the man in front of her wouldn't mind. Even though the girl's features had sharpened to make her look even more irresistible than she already did, underneath the facade was the deadly Night walker that plagued the streets, stealing lives. Unknown to her untrained human side, the girl was approaching the man with a Cat Walk like swagger. She approached him silently as her heels had been previously been abandoned and the man sat up and only noticed her just as she got within a foot of him. He eyed her up and down and Colin noticed the glint in the perverts eyes. It made him tense and made him want to slaughter him then and there, but he had to let the girl do this. Her first kill had to be alive or the Vampire side of her would die and so would her human side as they were now one.

"What's a pretty little thing like you doing out here all by yourself?" He asked with pleasant enough voice that shocked Colin.

"Looking" She whispered seductively.

She knelt down next to him and looked into his eyes, his heart beat quickened and she giggled and helped him stand. He had been wearing a suit that was now scruffy, he looked like your average person, tall, dark hair, not ugly not handsome. Although he had that look in his eyes that made him different.

"Looking for what?" He asked her.

The girl looked into his eyes and leaned up to reach his lips. He refused to kiss her, instead, he grabbed her by the waist and turned, throwing her against the way. Groaning she hit the wall hard, her hands now pinned against the wall. Keeping her eyes closed, she tried to be patient as the hunger for blood got stronger. He pushed against her so hard she could feel him hard against her. The man pinned both her hands above her head with one hand and used the other to unzip his trousers, the belt already unbuckled. He got even more excited. The girl's human side made her cry a little and she whispered;

"You monster"

The man looked at her and got a little angry, but that fueled him a little more, her dress was short and he pushed up onto her, being blocked by her pants. Growling but loving the wait, he reached up and grabbed her pants, ripping them off. He went to thrust into her when something caught his eyes. He looked into her face...her now distorted ugly face. He was frozen to the spot as the reality was hitting him; she was a Vampire.

"Hm" The girl moaned.

"Not up for it now...tiny?" She cackled as she glanced down at his naked bottom half.

Moving forward with such ease, the man tripped over his trousers and fell onto the ground. The girl laughed again and hovered over him, straddling his stomach, making sure to keep away from his exposed area. Licking her lips she bent down and licked the dry blood from his nose. The man stuttered a plea and she laughed.

"Would you have stopped if I begged?" She asked.

"Y-yes"

There was a hard slap across his face and she hissed in his face.

"Liar!"

Colin put the throwing star back in it's pouch and turned away from the scene, he didn't need to watch her as she bit down into his now exposed neck and take the life from him. He screamed but his scream turned to gasping and eventually silence. Colin cleared his throat and then dropped down next to the girl and the body. Gasping she pulled away from the man's now drained corpse and fell onto her butt, shuffling away from Colin. He saw her then in her human form. Scared, unsure. He felt pity for her but pushed it away, she was a Night walker still.

"Come" He said.

She stared at him and he grew angry.

"Do you want help or do you want to forever walk this Earth as another doomed Night walker?!" He asked angrily.

The girl looked at him and began to stand, she was shaking but then her skin rippled and she turned into the Vampire form. He stood in a stance, ready for action, hand behind his back in the star pouch. The girl's Vampire face disappeared as quickly as it came and she gasped and fell to her knees; the process now complete. The girl punched the ground and screamed, Colin began to move towards her when the fire exit doors of the club opened and a security guard came out. His face went pale at the sight of the half naked man on the ground, the crying girl and the strange man who looked like Van Helsing. He quickly radioed his friends and started to search for his mobile phone. Colin rolled his eyes and grabbed the girl and began to run. A car pulled up outside the alley and Leucien was driving.

"Get in"

Colin had already thrown open the back seat door and tossed the girl inside. He then ran back to the body.

"Colin get in!"

Colin ran to the body and checked it for any sign of life, any sign that he would return as a Vampire; there were none. Colin kicked the corpse int eh face. The security guard now joined by another four large looking men. Colin grinned.

"Burn the body so he doesn't come back as a Night walker" He said.

"What happened?" One man asked very authoritatively.

"He tried to rape two young women. one turned out to be a Vampire who sucked him dry then fled. The other girl is my sister, I'm taking her to the hospital to gt checked out. You really should be more careful of who you let into your clubs"

Colin seemed to have vanished. The security men looking for him, confused. The car sped off and they were left with the body.
