The air bit at his nose,as he sat in his tree perch.The air was cold up here,and on any other night it might of bothered him.But tonight was a hunting night.

A teenage girl walked past the tree.Her thoughts were scattered,and almost painful to listen to.“Why did I stay that long?I’ll be lucky if the shelter is still open when I get back”

Homeless.That made her the perfect candidate.He could here her heart,quickly dragging the blood he so viciously craved through her veins,as she walked down the twisting road.

If it were any other night,he might of felt sorry for the fate that lie ahead of her.But it was late,and Alister needed to feed.

The vicious hunter easily dropped from the 40 foot tree,landing only with a slight thud.He silently walked up the the meal.Using all the vampiric charm he could muster he lured her.“It’s dangerous to be here this late,should I walk you home?”

The girl jumped at the sound of his silky smooth voice.As she gathered her wits she looked at this strange guardian.He appeared no older than 16.Had she know who really stood before her, she would of bee more apt to run,for the teenage boy before her was actually over 2000 years old.

But she didn’t know this,so instead she replied,"I don’t really have a home…But maybe you could walk with me to the shelter?"Why not?She’d seen men much bigger than him,and plus how could anyone wearing custom made,specialty Converse (she’d recognized his shoes) be a serial killer?

Oh how mistaken she was.She turned to show him the way,and the second her back was turned,Alister opened his mouth exposing his fully elongated fangs.

He drank until she was losing consciousness.He had to pull away,the sun was rising.He raised from her body and pulled out a cell phone.

“Tomas?I need a clean up job in Redwood.Instruct the other elders to deconstruct the tent.We have to move soon”

“Yes,my liege.Yes,I will dispatch them myself.But…But…Sir!With all respect,I can handle this country’s military.That IS why the elders put me as High Councilor.Goodbye sir.”

The seemingly teenage vulpine ran his fingers through his black hair.Though Alister was the High Councilor and oldest member of his race at 2895,in times of war the eldest of the two original families,Hatter and Blare,step forward as Vampire King.Alister was still in charge of the country’s military,but most of the decisions were made by Alexi,the newly appointed King.

The military brought up a whole new problem.The Slayers were growing in number.There had been 4 assassination attempts on public officials in the past month.

Info had recently reached Alister’s office that a Slayer unit was approaching the capital city,Radia.Currently Alister was putting together the retaliation team.

Evelin never really liked the Council Tent.The layout of the rooms was constantly changing,there was never any privacy in any of the rooms,and the rug padding that they used as a floor was always getting caught on her 9 inch spike heels.

But all that aside,she’d been summoned.And considering her only service was death,when she was summoned,it was essential.She was one of the nations top fighters,

As she walked down to the conference room she had been ordered to,she saw him.Alister Bane.If he’d summoned her,this was bad.

She walked up to the makeshift door and threw it open.

“You didn’t knock,Evelin”

"Does this look like the face of a girl who cares?"She emphasized the fact that she was a human vampire,not a vulpine.

Alister leapt across the across the table and held her up by the throat with dizzying speed,even for a vampire.

"I don’t need your opinions about me,"he whispered through clenched teeth.

He tightened his grip.

“I need you to fight.”

The door of the conference room opened.

"YOU INVITED HIM?!?!?!,"shrieked Evelin.

“Great to see you too,Ev.”

“That’s no way to treat Niko,Evelin.”

Alister rested his hand on the ginger vulpine’s shoulder.

“Let’s get down to business.Evelin,Niko,you were both called here to retaliate against a Slayer unit headed straight for us.We’re heading on a road trip.Meet here tomorrow at 0600 hours.”

It was a cold evening.The fact that the trio of vampires were running att speeds approaching 70 mph didn’t make it any warmer.As they neared the edge of he forest,a small camp came into view.

Reaching out with his mind,Niko found the thoughts of 9 Slayers.

"How many,Niko?"whispered Evelin.

“9”

“Experienced?”

“Not very.”

Alister gave the go command.

The trio sprinted into the camp with all the speed they could muster.The first three slayers were caught off guard,sitting around their fire,and were easily broken…literally.

The others,however,weren’t.Two slayers took to battling Alister.A stake flew at him.He back flipped away from it,while simultaneously unsheathing one of his 14 knives and hurling it into the first slayer’s head.

Alister sprinted at the second,unsheathing another knife.The slayer pulled a stake,and stabbed it at Alister’s midsection.Alister easily blocked and threw a roundhouse into the slayer’s head.The slayer’s head turned violently and the the small crack that Alister recognized as a snapping spine.

Finished with his battle,Alister looked to see how the others were fairing,to find Niko biting and draining the two slayers unfortunate enough to confront him,and Evelin jabbing her spike heel int the neck of the only remaining in the camp,the other’s mangled body next to the one she had just finished.

Now to get back to the capital.
If only they knew,that was the least of their worries.
