" Why hide, I can smell your blood, and hear your heartbeat accelerate." You could hear a cynical voice being yelled through the dark house.
The thunder roaring and rain smacking the window did little to ease the fear of the two boys hiding underneath the bed in their parents' room.
"Did you see him, Kasaan?," One whispered to the other in a voice so low you could barely hear it.
"Yeah, whatever he is, we have to get out of here, Eddie," Kasaan replied.
" But what about mom and dad?", Eddie questioned.
Kasaan remembered Eddie didn't see what he saw and how he watched the life being sucked out of his father and his mother's leg was broken. She stressed and waited helplessly to be next. The thought almost made him puke.
(This is a nightmare) he thought to himself (I have to get him out of here, we have to live.) At that moment he got out from underneath the bed and grabbed an old sword that was used as a decoration in his parents' room.
"Eddie, there gone." The last thing mom told me was to get you and get out of here." Kasaan managed to say without whimpering.
Hearing that his parents were both gone took Eddie out of this world.
"Shut up stop lying! Your always making stuff up!", Eddie yelling in disbelief.
"SHhhhhh be quiet now he knows we're here" Kasaan exclaimed.
"Hahahaha I already knew you were here, boy" the voice came from the door.
There they finally saw him clearly and shivered with fear. His lips bared back to show four sharp wat appeared to be fangs. Blood fresh on his chin was dripping.
"What the hell are you, you monster!?" Eddie yelled in rage.
The man disappeared from the doorway in that instant and neither boy knew where he was.
" You had to go and piss him off" Kasaan complained.
"I'm a creature of the night." His voice came back, but it came from behind them.
"How'd you" Kasaan asked quizzically and bewildered. But before he could move, Eddie snapped.
"Enough games" Eddie grabbed the handle of the sword Kasaan was holding and pulled it out of its sheath and charged the monster, "this is for my mom and dad you cretin." And slashed but hit all, air. (Gone again), he thought to himself "You coward stop running!
"Hahahaha you sure are a rambunctious one. Why don't we play a ga..."
But before he could get it out, Eddie was already there, ready to slash again, but again hit nothing.
"Didn't your parents ever teach you it's not polite to interrupt someone when there talking?"
As he finished saying that, spit hit him right in the left eye and Eddie slashed again, this time completely severing the monster's left forearm.
"Don't you ever mention my parents, you monster. After what you done to them, I'll kill you."
"Ahhhhhh, what is that sword your holding ordinary swords aren't supposed to be able to cut me. You bastard, I was going to let you go. I was only sent here to kill your parents. You two are not on the list. But you're going to pay for this kid."
But at that moment, the man fell in two from the head down, drenching blood everywhere, and there was a man behind him holding a sword, and he slashed at the air cleaning dripping blood off his sword before he put it in his sheath. "Are you two ok I'm sorry I couldn't get here any sooner."
"Who are you!?," Eddie snapped with his sword, not trusting the man.
"Eddie relax. He just saved us, put the sword down." Kasaan ordered. As his brother told him, he gave the sword back to his brother.
"I'm sorry my name is Apollo Horizon.," he said in an Asian Accent. "I knew your parents. Keisha and Henry were close friends of mine. I'm so sorry I haven't gotten here sooner. They were supposed to meet me 10 minutes ago, and they're never late. I knew something was up, but I never could have imagined this."
"What was that thing?," Kasaan finally broke his silence and got down to business. "I saw it, it didn't just kill them, it feasted on my father like a leach."
"It was a Vampire", Apollo said.
"What" Eddie snapped. "You are not on drugs, are you? Vampire"
"What?" Apollo couldn't hide his bewilderment at the young boy, not even in his adolescence, accusation. "You saw it. What do you call it."
"A Vampire Eddie.," Kasaan stepped in. "You saw it. So fast. I saw it suck dad's blood right out of his neck. You cut its arm off, and it was still moving like it was fine."
"Okay your right.," Eddie admitted. "Where's mommy?"
"You don't want to see that", Apollo warned.
"I have, too" Eddie insisted, looking Apollo straight in the eyes. It was then Apollo noticed the tears falling down the young boy's face. After a moment of awkward silence, they left the bedroom and walked through the hallway and down the stairs. There it was, they were both layinterested out on the floor lifelessness.
"Mommy Noooo daddy!" Eddie called out to their lifeless corpses and fell to the ground embracing them both ." Whyyyy!"
"What's going to happen to them? To us." Kasaan asked Apollo.
"I'll take you in if you want to come with me." Apollo offered. "The supernatural investigation team will come cover the deaths up to look normal. Then we find out what you two want to do."
"How do we become like you?",Eddie interjected."I'll kill everyone of these blood-sucking monsters."
"Like people, not all Vampires are bad, Eddie", Apollo explained. "Some don't even feed on human blood. Some feed on animals. If you want to train to become a hunter, I can help you, but it will not be easy."
"We are ready to endure anything to get stronger," Kasaan replied.
"Yeah". Eddie stood beside him.
