The Vampire Slayer

TVS 1: Slayer's Job

F I R E

News Flash:

Three women were found dead in the grassy part of the countryside of Sitio Tumindang.

Both had no blood and had two adjacent marks of suspected fangs on the necks of the victims. We are still asking for a statement from the sitio leadership regarding the said vampire attack.

It's 8:30 in the evening, I angrily turned off the television and quickly slung the arrows and arrows over my shoulder and immediately headed for the said countryside.

While on my way heading to the forest, I heard a few faint crackles.

I listened carefully to where they were coming from.

On the left side of where I stand.

I immediately arranged the arrows and inserted one into the hole of my bow.

I held the bow with my left hand and pulled the string of my weapon as a spurt.

I saw two shadows and I'm sure they were vampires.

All I could think was that I knew immediately that the vampire was in front of me.

I faced my targets, but this time..there are already two arrows in my bow.

3..2..1 ..

Release.

Boom!

And there, bullseye.

A sudden flash of red and orange flames filled the air.

But it vanished fast from my sight.

That was easy.

Now that I'm done, I thought to rest first, my leg was a bit shocked from running. At least I got revenge on the three women.

Vampires are creatures that suck blood just to please their hunger. And I really really really hate them. Hundred times more than I hated stinky smell.

Eew.

That's because of what happened 15 years ago that I will never forget in my entire life.

Wait..

I feel something else ..

That feeling sent me goosebumps behind my neck.

Terrifying.

Someone's probably hiding somewhere. I looked around to see if anyone was looking at me.

I guess someone's watching me from a far. Never mind.

A slayer's job is to hunt them all whatever it takes. Once I find their burrow, I will not hesitate to kill them all even in exchange for my own life.

Everytime I think about hunting all vampires, I always feel the raging anger inside mine.

I studied archery, undergone combat trainings, martial arts and everything about weapons, how to use them and how to kill.

I also studied about vampires. I've read a lot of books about those goddamn blood suckers. I needed to know more about them so that I'll be able to plant my revenge on them.

I wish I could encounter their king sooner.

Yes.Vampires do have a king. A king that will rule them all. Well, in case I see him, I'm planning to kill him as soon as possible.

There was no turning around, dead instantly.

I was so amused by my thoughts that I suddenly felt again what I had felt before.

My gaze wandered to the garden. I slowly approached there, maybe some creature was there in the clump of leaves, ready to attack me at any moment. Maybe a werewolf is in there, a mermaid? Nah. Or maybe even a snake.

Maybe I'm just paranoid.

I was only a few steps away from that garden, and my chest began to throb. I slowly opened the leaves.

And guess what I just saw?

X A V I E R R E

I came down from the summit of this mountain and ended up being in the middle of the forest. I sniffed as I smelt something.

Blood.

They attacked again. I went to the source of the pungent smell of blood and there I saw three lifeless bodies lying on the ground, bloodless and marked with fangs in their necks.

Those aggressive blood suckers are active again, what the fvck.

I am here to unwind and free myself from work loads just for a fucking night and now the mood's ruined.

Thanks to those bastards.

I stiffened when I heard footsteps coming near me. I hid myself in a bush. View from here the bodies of the beauties. Lots of people are gathered, encircling the victims' bodies.

"Unfortunately, the vampires are attacking again."

"I'm scared for my kids."

"Their victims are almost exclusively women."

I hear all kinds of rumors from here in hiding. Later, reporters and police arrived.

Suddenly, a familiar scent crossed my nose. Stinky smell, gross.

Those bastard vampires.

Based on what I can smell, they are just two and I'm definitely happy that their hunger is gone again.

I will kill them when the people leave here.

Later, they removed the corpses, and gradually cleaned up the area as the people left.

Good, what a perfect timing.

I was about to leave my hiding place when I heard sudden footsteps coming into my direction.

I immediately hide back and listen to the footsteps as it come closer.

I can see from here the source of the footsteps.

It's a lady.

A lady in all black with bow and arrow at her back. I watch her as she pull the string of her bow with two arrows and release it gently pointing to the location of the bastards.

He intends to shoot and kill them?

I wasn't mistaken when I saw the place where the two vampires were lit up. I can't help but be amazed at his ability to aim. I think he studied that.

Her hair is straight and as black as her eyes reaching her waist.I can see it from here.

My eyes can't get away from staring at her.Her skin is as white as snow, lips are naturally reddish hmm kissable eh?

I can't deny that she's gorgeous. She has a body to die for and a unique scent that only her and not anyone else possesses.

And her blood. I can smell its sweetness from this distance. Hmmm, can I sip atleast a drop of it?

'Why am I saying such things? What the hell?'

I noticed that he looked around. Probably bothered if someone's staring at her.

I flinched a little when I saw him approaching where I was hiding. What the hell ?! I thought hard about what I would do.

Think Xavierre!

Ugh. Okay, I guess I have no other choice. I don't care if she's going to freak out, or maybe not?

I changed myself into a bat before the woman could see me approaching. Not the bat used in baseball. As in bat, a flying creature. And exactly I flew away hearing her cursing a few times when she could see for a long time what creature was behind that garden.

Whew! Thank goodness I was able to change faster.

Something bothered me.

What's her name?

And why am I even asking for her name? Damn!

TVS 2: The King

X A V I E R R E

"But dear-"

"Shut it and please stop calling me Your Majesty." I calmly said while scanning piles of paper here in my office. He was silent because of what I said. I didn't like his plan.

A war between us good vampires and bastards.

Yes.We are good but not as good as what you think. Those bastards are the ones who suck blood from humans.We good vampires, take animals' blood to survive, we even buy at hospitals.And I don't want to have a war between us again.Madadamay ang tao like what happened fifteen years ago.

"Leave." I ordered Vishnyr to obey immediately.

Vishnyr is my right hand.

A loyal follower to his king.I trust him the most because of the bond that connects the two of us. But his idea right now is something risky.As their king, I don't want to lose some of my people.

I walked into a room.

Weapon room.

Suddenly my attention was fixed on the arrows lined up on a table. Suddenly the woman I had seen in the past came to my mind.

Who is she? I wonder.

I left the weapon room.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" I turned to call me.

I prevented myself to punch this man now in front of me.Sinabi nang wag akong tatawaging kamahalan.I hate it.

"I said stop calling me by that." I said with authority.

"Yes Xavierre."

"Spill."

"A bad vampire was found in the woods earlier by food hunters. What are we going to do with him?"

"Punish him. Behead him."

"Xavierre will follow."

"Wait, I'll do it."

I have encountered many such problems and all of them had the same solution. I'm a very busy vampire so when that's the problem, the solution is immediate.

I'm done scanning tons of papers so I went to the dungeon.

When I entered, I saw a man lying on the cold floor. His hands and feet were bound.

A topless soon to be dead body, looked at the door where I am standing.

He's not weak either strong. He's probably tired. We can see the anger in his eyes. But I'm more angry than him.

I slowly walk towards him as my footsteps echoed inside the dungeon.

I aggressively grabbed his chin up as my nails dug deeper into his pale skin, making him groan in pain.

"There's no need for me to know your fucking name, you'll die anyway." I said in between my smirk emphasizing the word name.

What for? For those bastards to realize that beings as rude as them aren't a loss in the vampire community. Yes, I called it community and not kingdom even if there's a king. Sounds a bit funny but, we're vampires yet mad at vampires who suck blood from humans. They are not like us who know how to persevere in buying blood from the blood market. And we even suck bloods from animals.

I violently let go of his face to make him complain again.

Serves you right, idiot.

I went to the table on the other side of the dungeon where the ones used to kill the vampires were. I take a look at the weapons.

Knives? Does this thing be enough for him to suffer? Nope.

Aha! This! I lifted an ax.A beautiful yet dangerous ax. This one will do.

I returned to the place where the bastard lies. Holding the ax, I hear his pleading ... He begs me to revive him because he has children. Who is he? And he even dared to talk like that to me.

"This won't hurt you a bit, trust me." I said and mercilessly beheaded him. I could smell the pungent smell of his black blood flowing.

I picked the head.

Hmmm..Another collection of mine.

"Throw it in the tunnel." I ordered while pointing at the body, I knew that his body would dissolve quickly, there might be more ash spread here, I don't want my area to be polluted.

"The head will be at my collections." I added.

I'm the king, Xavierre Van Vladymir, my job is to take care of the good vampires' community. And it's really a big responsibility that I must handle. A problem like this isn't new to me.

One thing should be remembered and followed by my descendants and other creatures.

Never ever mess with the king of vampires.

You'll regret why you are born.

I headed my way to the collection room bringing the head with me.

I safely put it in the glass shelves. "There, you are number 101,242." I said as I labeled the head.

Yes, you read it right.

He's the 101,242nd head of bad vampires that I've collected in my entire 200 years of being the king. I was the one who cutted off their heads. Well, you can't blame me. All what I want is the best for this community.

I was appointed as the king when I was 50 years old. Matanda mang pakinggan but in human, the 50 year old me is equivalent to a 5 year old kid. I'm 249 now, turning 25 in human's age. For every 10 years in human, for vampires is only a year for us to age. That's how long we get older, it will take ten years before we see the change physically. At the age of 30 in human's age, we will stop aging. That means even if we reach 1000 or 10000 years old, what we look like once we reach the age of 330 for us vampires of course, our physical features will remain the same.

I have also been leading the vampire community for a long time. And yet I still don't have a queen that will help me run the community. I still can't find her.

I remembered the girl I saw in the woods who assassinated two vampires at a time. She seemed so powerful and smart at the same time. The title MY QUEEN suits her very well. But if she doesn't have the locket ... Liking her will still be useless.

But I have a feeling ... That he has the locket.

I left the room as well as my thoughts and headed my way back to the office, I should take a nap, even though sleep isn't necessary for us, vampires. I deserve some rest after cutting that bastard's head off.

To be continued...

TVS 3: Encounter

F I R E

Here I am, in the middle of the woods, waiting for any blood sucking creatures.

I'm bored that's why I wanted to have some sort of adventure. You may find it weird, yeah the hell I care.

I have my bow and arrows with me, a knife in my right leg, and a gun to the left hidden so if there's any creature that will going to attack me, I guess there's no problem with that.

I feel the breeze of the air coming from the west, making my hair reaching my waist go with its flow. It's relaxing, plus the light coming from the half moon lightens up my mood.

I'm wearing my all black outfit that I usually use when hunting vampires.

I stood up suddenly with a strange presence.

I think there is someone else.

Or maybe a vampire.

I picked up the attached bow from behind. I immediately put its bullet in there, it's better to be prepared than for you to die.

I walked, straight and close to the summit.

And there, I saw a man with a black hair, toned muscles and arms who was noticeable even though it was a bit dark around. Her hair as black as night is just allowed to follow the direction of the wind. He has a pale white skin that does not even show any trace of root despite the whiteness.

He turned around and sat at the top of the mountain, wearing all black same as mine.

I aimed the bow at him, aiming him as my target. I'm pretty sure the vampire is in front of me right now.

Join the ashes of those with you I killed two days ago.

I pulled the string and release the arrow. But unfortunately, he immediately caught the spear with only his left hand which surprised me.

How could he ?!

This man is ... something.

I was surprised when he confronted me. His eyes widened slightly and he looked straight into my eyes. He sniffed a bit as if smelling something.

Do I stink?

"Hey, is this yours?" He asked frantically as if I had done nothing while looking at the arrow that would have been stuck behind him.

"Yeah, practicing archery you know, Ha Ha." I faked a laugh.

"With me huh?"

"Sort of?" I replied.

He chuckled.

I don't know if he's human or what, but he has the same eyes as mine, we have the same skin color, though I'm also a bit white. So most probably he is human. If he was a vampire, he would have longed for the arrow he was holding, it's coated with garlic before I go here.

"Can I..get that back?" I asked.

"Oh this? Sure but not unless you have a small chitchat with me." A sudden smile let out his lips displaying his perfect teeth.

"That's all?"

"Yeah."

"Okay." I approached him. I need to be with him to get my arrow. He's not just anyone, I know that, I might get hurt and what else will happen to me. I punched my gun, knife and bow.

And guess what?

They're gone!

Can anyone tell me how the hell did those run away from my body?

"Ah this?" Asked the man now holding all my weapons.

"How did yo--"

"It slipped away from you. I just picked it up."

"But you didn't leave your post, did you?"

"I did. You didn't just notice it." He said while biting his lower lip and I bet that it's to suppress his laughter. He's hot in doing so.

"What now ?!" I angrily mouthed, earlier because he was looking at me smiling like a dog.

He tapped the space beside him, inviting me to sit. I guess I have no other choice. Rolling my eyes in frustration, I seated.

"So, what are we going to talk about? When it's over and I can go home."

"I want to talk about your life." He said coldly that made my mouth open widely.

.....................

X A V I E R R E

I'm here in the summit of the mountain, sitting beside her. Yeah, and I invited her after what she did to me, throwing arrow to me, to have a chitchat with me that she actually accepted to be able to get her weapons back to her.

"So, what are we going to talk about? When it's over and I can go home."

Short tempered eh?

"I want to talk about your life." I said and that made her cute little reddish lips to be apart.

"A-Are you o-out of your mind ?? Like seriously, you want to know more about me? What the hell ?!"

"Ahh yeah, co'z I'm bored."

I'm damn serious in getting to know her. Curiousity is killing me. And her locket, I need to confirm it first maybe I'm just mistaken. Does she own it? If it wasn't for him, how did it end up in his neck? Oh questions! There are so many questions!

"Oh no Mister, you're totally out of your mind. I'm really really sorry I have to go, it's already 2:47 am and yet I'm here in the summit of this mountain talking to you. Now give my weapons back to me so that I can go. " She said grinning, probably suppressing her anger.

"Is that so? I guess I can't. For now, you can have your arrow with you, tomorrow you can come for us to continue our chitchat, I'll take care of this for a while. Got it?" I said waving her weapons in my right hand while the left toss the arrow to her.

"Arrrggghh, fine! Tomorrow, 10 pm, here."

"Noted." I said and winked at her. I'm looking forward for tomorrow.

FIRE

Did he just winked at me ?! Like what the fuck is he up to ?! Can any living body slap his face right now co'z I'm pissed.

Really really pissed.

When he turns around properly ..

"Wait." I hold back.

He hummed as a response and turn his body facing me. "Can I slap you? In that pale cheeks of yours?" I asked sarcastically.

This man is out of his mind !!

"Maybe tomorrow you can, but not now." He said making my eyes roll.

"And please, please find where you laid your brain, insanity's what's inside of your head Mister."

Right. Don't let me feel sorry for his madness. He's insane for pete's sake! Who the hell will take my gun, bow and knife and throw the arrow back at the same time?

"I swear, I'll take care of it all." He replied.

The madman took a bite, as if I didn't have any other hidden weapons in my house, idiot. It's up to him to wait and whiten his eyes!

I held the locket around my neck. Hayss I thought he got it too, I would be even happier with him if he could remove this thing from my neck.

~ FLASHBACK ~

A/N: Back when fire is 8 years old.But still it's the 23 year old Fire's POV, got it? Thanks;*

F I R E

"Son, Fire .." My mom called me.

"Why ma?" I watched him as he put food in a container and wrapped it in a bag.

"Take it to your Dad, he might be hungry. Eat with him there too, I'll add more food for you."

"All right, ma."

"Will you be careful son?" He said as he approached me and smeared me with some garlic smell.

"I'm leaving, ma." I said smiling.

I wore the black cape that smelled of garlic as well.

I had a few more kilometers to walk so I started to coast the forest.

I had been walking for almost two hours when I reached the creek that came from a cave. I would also pass that cave which was very dark.

As I walked along this creek, I thought to rest first.

I sat by the creek, glowing like a diamond whenever the sun hit the clear water.

I scooped up water with my hand and drank it. My thirst was quenched when I felt its cold caress on my throat.

I also washed my face to reduce the heat I was feeling.

Carrying the food I decided to continue walking.

I finally reached the cave, the last one I would pass before I reached my dad's place.

I was in the middle of walking in the middle of the cave when suddenly ...

They surrounded me, as if they were all around me. It happened too fast. I just sat there feeling so scared.

I could feel them slowly flying away from me.

Hayss thanks, I thought I was at the end.

I was held to my chest, feeling my heart beating fast.

Wait? What is it?

I looked at what I was holding like a necklace. Is it called a lock?

Where did it come from? To bats?

I would have removed the necklace just ...

CAN NOT BE REMOVED!

Why not delete? Whatever I do I still don't want to!
