Blood Ties: Book 1 In The Blood Curse Series

chapter 5

Aries Flash Back********************
     I watch my pray walk out of the bar and into an alley, he speeds up sensing he's being hunted. Two thieves appear at the end of the alleys. Once they conner my pray I jump in bashing their skulls against the cold hard brick, satisfying me with with a loud crack and blood running down wall. The pray looks for some where to run but he's backed up into the wall. He starts shaking and begging me to leave him alone but I flash my fangs at him successfully shutting him up.
   He snaps out of his terrified state and starts screaming for help. Then, before he can blink I'm at his throat.
    Before I can finish him off hear a gun shot and feel pain in my stomach. I cover the bullet wound with my hand and look at the man who shot me. He's shorter then me and holding a pistol, his hat and the shadows cover his face making the details hard to see. But the sliver cross on a chain around his neck gives him away. "Hunter." I growl
"Vampire." He replies in low voice.
   I charge at the hunter, dodging the bullets he shoots at me. I easily pin him to the wall and laugh when I see he's face up close. "You're a child, the hunters send children to fight now? What is this world coming to." Still laughing I let him go and back up. "I have no interest in fighting a child, go back to your family." After saying that I back towards the street. Just before I make it to the sidewalk I hear a gun shot, I jump to side barely avoiding the bullet. Looking back towards the boy I see his gun raised ready to shot me. He looks me in the eye and says, "I'm not child, I am a hunter."
   But before he can shoot I use my vampire speed to tackle him to ground and pin him. I glare at him and move his wrist so I can hold them in one hand. With my free hand I tilt his head to the side, "I don't kill children, how ever you need to be punished." Seeing the fear in his eyes I look at his neck," I think you'll make a good vampire."
