As Jonathon turned the corner down the dark alleyway, he started puking his guts out. He couldn’t help himself. His stomach could take blood and gore but what he had just witnessed. Oh! God, what he had just seen with his very two eyes could not have happened but his stomach proved otherwise.

He had to keep running. Maybe he could find a diner or something and lay low for a bit. They wouldn’t dare come into public and attack him. Not like Cherise. But she was instigating them. Provoking them to take her. She had been so arrogant, thinking she was smarter than the killers of the city. Only she didn’t know. And he didn’t know. How could he? These things were just horror creatures made up to scare the minds of little children. And here, right before him sat the real live thing…well, not truly alive.

Down a few blocks, the 3 girls ate their fill. They quenched the thirst of blood. Young 30 year old had been easy bait. She had thought they were just serial killers but soon found out the truth behind it all. And she was still breathing as they took their turns sinking white, pointy fangs into her flesh over and over again. Each time she screamed in agony at the piercing pain of needles poking thru her flesh. She could feel her life draining away. But soon a shadow was cast over her. Was that death? Was she to be spared of this pain?

“Step away, girls.” The voice sounded harsh but deep like a male, “Let’s see if this pretty one would like to be added to the cause or just be meat tonight.” He turned to her. He looked at her dimming green eyes. It seemed compassion was filling his heart for this beautiful kindred child. What a wonderful addition she would make, not to mention maybe a bride before the next moon. After stroking her hair and listening to her wisps’ of breathing, he asked her one question, “Do you wish to die a young age pretty one, or would you like to be spared and part your ways with humanity and be one of us?”

She could barely understand this shadowed savior. But it seems he was giving her a way out. A way into peace and mercy.
