Modern Vampires of the City started out as a collection of short stories, each based on the songs from Vampire Weekend's third album, "Modern Vampires of the City," but has become more of a novelette with chapters than individual stories. I felt there were characters that ran throughout the songs and wanted to give them a story outside the album they were born on, and Hudson in particular seems to be the idealized youth that all we Millennials feel to be at one point or another, or still do.

I close my eyes as I drop my head. "I was scared that you would reject the bond. I didn't know what I would do if you rejected the bond we have." I say in a whisper. "I wouldn't reject it. I'm a vampire and you're a shapeshifter. Not only are you a shapeshifter, but you're also my true blood singer. Esme was but not my true blood singer.

Hunter (1st Book of the Supernatural Hunters)
IN EDITING. COMPLETE. "There are such beings as vampires, some of us have evidence that they exist. Even had we not the proof of our own unhappy experience, the teachings and the records of the past give proof enough for sane peoples." ~Bram Stoker In our day, people fawn over the idea of supernaturals through fanfictions and novels, but what they don't realize is that these creatures are very real. And extremely dangerous. Especially vampires. They don't sparkle in the light or sweep young women off their feet. They're cold blooded murderers. In order to combat their devastation, an organization of trained human hunters was formed. Each hunter for every creature has a different name. Vampire slayers are simply known as hunters. Victoria Abelard, better known as Vick, was a famous vampire hunter in the early nineteenth century. After a botched job, she was turned into the one thing she hated most. A vampire. Two hundred years later, Vick has learned how to blend in with the human crowd. Her life couldn't be anymore perfect, especially with the disappearance of vampires for over fifty years (which hunters gladly help keep in place). However, her life is turned upside down when two old friends pop back into it. Them requesting her to assassinate the king of the vampires. Just when she thought she was free, Vick is thrown back onto the roller coaster of life. Along the way, she goes through a mess of terrifying memories, horrible grudges, sweet revenge, and love. *Rated mature for violent scenes and language*Complete![But You Can Call Me Gotham (#JustWriteIt #FreshStart) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/48826730-256-k290830.jpg)
