Chapter 1
Nicholi, the waiter in charge of receiving orders for cafe'e colit,moving through the vast number of customers the cafe had,Nicholi focused his attention on the round table closest to the shop window.
"Good day for a cup of coffee ma'am,don't you agree" said nicholi as he smiled
"Have I seen u around,because i could swear your face looks familiar" asked the lady by the table
"Probably not,not that I can remember. It's a small town" gesturing to the menu
" so would you like to try an americano or an expresso with double whipped cream at its bottom, sprinkled with human blood"he said, he then took a step backwards. The lady at table still awestruck by Nicholi's words, her veins throbbed,her heart beat increased in an unrealistic manner.all she could think about was she was in for it now,she quickly decided to make a run for it.
"I won't do that if I were you"said Nicholi with a straight face,Nicholi was about six feet tall,with tanned black hair. One could say he was a teenager who does regular workouts.
The lady shoved Nicholi to the desk, which alarmed everyone at he cafe,she knocked over some tables.her heart pulsed rigorously as she made it for the door leading to the alley.
A man stood blocking the exit of the alley,as he leaned over holding his chimera blade(a sickle sword)it's length 50-60 centimeters ,with a bronze base and curved steel edge.
" you don't strike me as a vampire,I must say"said Fredrick playing with his blade as though it was the first time he had seen it.
" how do you know what I am"she said in utter confusion her mind still racing for the quickest exit, but her eyes still perfectly synced with Fredricks.
" we are hunters, we can see anything beneath the vail" replied Nicholi,walking out with his chimera blade.
Still awestruck "hunters" she said in confusion, then she smiled
" well various types of your kind never live to tell the story"said the Fredrick.lifting his blade he swung it twice diagonally in quick succession,twisting all parts of his body from left to right.she ducked dodging both attacks,still in motion she and punched him on his stomach,she twisted his hand and shoved him to the wall, then drop him like dirt on the ground.
"Such weak fellow,is this what stand for hunters these days"
"I must say Fredrick,seems to me you have lost your touch,perhaps a demonstration will motivate you" mocked Nicholi,knowing he was beaten far too easily.
"So you are Selka I presume" he said,as he enchanted his sword with fire,he walked slowly almost like he wasn't really moving,taking each step with caution, he knew what he was up against.
"It's funny how I found you attractive young lad, to bad I'll bath in your blood"she charged towards him fangs drawn out, beneath her eyes black veins appeared beneath,as she took each step with speed. Nicholi counted her steps. Throwing her hand towards him.he ducked took her by her left arm with his right and threw high over his shoulders.
"Argh" yelled selka,her left arm was dislocated. In no time at all she restored her hand back to its original position. Ajitated he swung his sword slashing her arm and her tigh,she screamed as she held his hand preventing him from slashing her the third time,as both prevented each other from making a move hold each other dead to right,Nicholi allowed his sword drop from his hand. In that particular order he contracted his knee to look like a spear, pushing his body closer to hers he connected his knee to the blades heel burning and slicing the lower part of her rib cage.
Both hands disconnected as now she was injured below the third layer of the rib.she quickly drew back into the alley.
" I'll advice you choose your last words carefully selka"as he moved forward with the intent to kill selka
"Burn me human for all I care, u will never get anything out of me, human or hunters your all the same waiting to be devoured" selka backed up against the wall, trying to support her self on it, she staggered to stand, her face facing down, she looked towards the the sky.the sky portrayed the elegance of royal blue at it display,the moon had reached its peak,gathering the last ounce of strength she had,she made her way through Nicholi.she was a creature of the night(vampire).
The night gave her renewed strength, knocking Fredrick over as he tried to find his way off the ground.
"he did leave a message for your organization " with the stern look on.Nicholi was unfazed he raced towards her causing his swords to glow brighter.
" what is dead May never die" said selka as she leaped behind an automobile vehicle,and the vanished into thin air.
Nicholi still puzzled,refrained from the pursuit,he turned towards Fredrick
"She got away and it's on you Nicholi "he said,still in pain.she got him bad on his rib.
Thoughts rushed through Nicholi's mind,he helped Fredrick into the bar.
"You could have trapped her you know that right" said Fredrick as a sipped the cup of coffee offered by his partner
"There is a big difference between could and can't Fredrick, if I was going to pull that stunt,it could have gone wrong. It's not like as if u we're willing or able to help me trap SELKA,after all she dumped you on the ground like wasted cabbage"he yelled.he began pacing around the counter, he realized he let his anger get the better of him.
"Selka, why do you say that name with such familiarity Nicholi" creeped a voice from the dark end of the cafe. He was a man at the least within the ages of 40 to 45.he picked up his black hat,walking slowly towards them,he adjusted his trench coat abit to the right,taking off his gloves.he sat down beside fredrick, Nicholi poured him a cup of coffee.
"Sir Vladimir, I do not know selka by person, I had only heard of the rumors of her rain of terror over this end of the city,that all sir " stammered Nicholi, Vladimir was a high ranked hunter specialized in training the newbies of the organization.
"So then why didn't you finish her off,mind you I watched from above. I wanted to see how you were progressing"
" he probably has a thing for the vampire" chipped in Fredrick.he smirked and took another sip of coffee.
"You do know, failure to annihilate the target brings punishment, report to Kendrick's tomorrow." He said vehemently, turning towards Fredrick he looked at him as if flipping a coin in motion to find head or tail.
"A human outdid you today,looks to me it's not all about your heritage or strength but your heart and fighting techniques you pick up along the way,to defend those who do not know what runs a-mock at night,"he said picking up his hat, and adjusting his trench coat,as he walked slowly towards the door.
"Good work boys"he said and shut it. Fredrick frustrated from the words that came out of Vladimir's mouth.
"You know you just got lucky" he said turning towards Nicholi, with rage trapped inside his heart he walked out the front door.
Nicholi's mind still on the words that came pouring out of Vladimir's mouth, he trashed both cups in the bin and locked up for the day,he looked at his watch, because earlier that day he promised his little sister to be home on time to read her bed time stories.
" oh shit I have to hurry" he said as he raced through 20blocks although he could have gone by train.
On getting home he saw his sister was fast asleep on the sofa, he gently thrusted both his arms around her, lifting her from the sofa,he knocked over some dolls on the ground,in which in that moment made creepy sounds.
"Holy"he said as he jerked, he opened her door which was atleast 5cm from the parlour,tucking her in bed, he covered her with the bed sheets,she leaned over to the left.
"Goodnight Nicholi" she muttered as she readjusted her sleeping position.Nicholi paused then smiled
"Sweet dreams Ariana" as he kissed her on the cheek,walked towards the door.looking twice before he actually closed it for good.
