The moon, how beautiful it was, with its silver or white coloring (depending on if you are living in the city or in an urban area). And tonight it had a even redish tint to it. Usual that means that danger wasn't far off.
A life as a hunter, however, tend to be dangerous so the moon was never a good predictor. It was good for keeping track of days as well as cycle of those who live for the night. Well in my case it helps me keep track of time.
Why don't you use the sun? Simple, because I am rarely up to see the sun. If I am up its because something bad has happen. And you don't want to see me up in the sun anyways. I am all cranky and grumpy.
Great, I am rambling again... Sorry I do that sometime. Being alone most of the time. Ok, that is a lie I am not always alone. Sometime the ghost of a little girl is around. I don't always enjoy it when she is around. She has this habit of complaining or at least whining about what I am doing and how I shouldn't help people. Blah... blah... blah... blah. I swear she can get on my nerves, but I am cursed with her so there is not much I can do about (trust me I tried).
Well, lets get back to the topic at hand the moon. I am what you call a dhampire, or at least that is what my enemies call me. So unlike most vampires (those who not the first) can't go out into the sun. They basically fried, fi they do which makes for a pretty fire display but smell awful. Ash and sulfur would be what I describe it.
--------------
So the moon is up and I am stuck in the forest because my last client didn't pay me. So now I am stuck having to listen to Rae complaining about how she keep seeing random ghosts who won't talk to her and if we stayed at the hotel she could at least had someone other than myself to talk too. About this time I begin to block her out as I try to rest. I was hungry and thirsty... the deer blood just doesn't last as long as it use too.
"Rae... stop it. I am tired, we'll get paid some how some day...." I whispered. I could hear the wolves and other creatures playing. some where was a witch trying to perform a spell and close by the river was a werewolf changing for the fourth time. So a new baby, but so far has the best control I had in a while.
I closes my eyes trying to adjust on the branch. Rae has started on the werewolf I just mention. I lift my hat up and look at her. "Seriously? Don't you have someone else hunt or a great spirit to visit?" I growled.
"No, you know that!! I am cursed with you until you are dead." She growled at me. I just looked at her.
"I'm already dead..." I chuckle. I could feel a slight push as Rae tries to push me down. "Calm down... "
"I wish you were ash!!" She screams at me. With that she was gone.
"Peace at last..." I whispered. I felt bad about bringing up the fact that I wasn't dead. Not for her lack of trying. At one point she hated me so much, but slowly for what ever reason she stopped. We started to actually get along.
Kind of hard to be friends with someone who killed you. Of course it was an accident, but that doesn't matter to a gypsy woman and her family. I hear a howl off in the distance again. "Hmph... werewolf... so noisy." Snuggling back up, and I try once more to go to sleep.

she heard the werewolf again that she had heard before but this time it gave the howl of death as it its head was ripped off and tossed to the side and then slowly Ammon looked around through the slits of his mask and as he looked to his hand of which was covered by blood a strange blue fire covered it and the blood faded away and then when he looked to the body of the werewolf his eyes flashed and it was caught on fire as it was burned to nothing and only its smell remained in the air and then after he had finished with the purifying of the beast he started to head towards the last know location of the demon that people had been talking about.....the one that traveled with spirits...

"It's quiet... finally... wait..." I looked around. The Wolf hush, no, he shouldn't have hush already. "It takes hour for the change to settle and lots of energy. He wouldn't have hushed already."
Wolves take a long time to change and the amount of energy a change takes cause a wolf to be a little on the grumpy side which is why they make so much noise at first. I didn't like this. Something wasn't right and Rae hasn't come back to bug me even though she was mad at me. Sighing, I decided that tonight I won't be able to get rest. The Sun will be up in a few hours, so I need to either move now or stay put until dark. Moving now sounding like the best idea.
Climbing down I begn to cloak myself. Hiding what scent I may possess and heading toward the nearest town. A day walk, but I had business there. A young woman went missng, like they always seem to do, and apparently a vampire was the cause (like always). Man, this was starting to feel like a classic vampire movie starting. Hmmmm.... well like superman would say "I am off to save the day..." Or maybe that was someone else? Who cares...

Ammon kept moving and as he passed the spot where the dhampire had been and when he did he stopped and looked around and he smelled the air and as he did he smelled two things..one was the smell of the dead....a smell of the other realm...and only vampires who were taught to pick up such things would be able to smell that and the second was far more rare....A Dhampire...also know as a day walker and half breed.." interesting....i think i might have found my target..." He smelled and started to lose the scent so he just moved in the direction it was heading last and as he did he looked up and saw that the sun was going to rise soon.

The sun was slowly rising, man it sucked. I pull my hair further down my head to block out the sun as much as I could. I continued walking who ever was following wasn't far behind. Hopefully he wasn't an ancient like myself. I closes my eyes as I continue to walk. Hopefully this client will pay me. It's not like money makes the world goes round, but it makes my life easier.

Ammon stopped as he looked to the sky and the sun was now filling the sky and he let out a sigh as he looked around and he didn't see anything that would work as a proper shelter to protect him from its rays so he looked to the ground in front of him and help out his hand and as he did the dirt and stone started to move and shift and slowly a deep hole was made for him and he then walked forward and his body turned to mist and it started to seep into the hole and as it did the hole started to close and once everything was done there was no hole and no sign of the ground being disturbed and Ammon was now resting and gathering his strength for the next night and hopefully he would find the reason for the mysterious deaths and missing persons.

Arriving in town, the scent and smells hit me. I could hear everybody's heart beat. It was driving me a little crazy. "You are already crazy..." a voice behind me said. I didn't jump, but it's not like I haven't had Rae sneak up on me before. After a while you slowly get use to it. I looked over my shoulder as if she studying the place. I whispered under my breath, "What's up? you ditch me last night and now your are bugging me? make up your mind." I sigh. I could really use something to drink. with that, I head to the local tavern. There I can get a fill for this place. maybe figure out what is going on. Walking in, i can feel eyes on me.
Mainly because I was a female, I couldn't hid that, and because I was a stranger. Oh well, they can kiss my ass. I head to the bar and order a drink. Alcohol doesn't affect me and it took a lot for me to feel anything as far as drug is concern. I see the guy looking me. "Can I help you?" I asked in a cold tone. The guy didn't say anything as he walked away.

Ammon was laying down within the hole of his making and as he slumbered he had the same dream that he always had....the one of the old woman and how his mistake cost him eternity and sadness to no end....He saw it happen as if he were watching from the side....he saw himself get a sword from a display on the wall and he cried and yelled for his past self to stop but it was too late....he watched once more himself kill the old woman that was there to save him and thus he made his own life a dead one....a cursed life....and he was the first to start the chain of the undead but he most certainly would not be the last....He watched over the years as his youthful face became pale and dead and he watched as he read from the ancient book and found the spell that had been givin him and how if not removed after a curtain amount of time...that blessing would change into a curse of drinking blood and living forever....as a monster.
Ammon slowly opened his eyes as he felt that the sun had lowered again and with the most simple of efforts his body faded and he slowly appeared like a ghost above ground and just in time to watch the sun set and fall behind mountains. " Always beautiful...." He turned and once again started to head in the direction of the small town was not far off.

Listening to the bar, I can hear tons of hearts beating. My thrist already upon me. I closes my eyes as I block out everything but the sound of people moving around me. I looked up to see the bartender once more staring at me. "Can I help you sir?" I asked in my most polite voice. I can hear Rae laughing as she see me fighting not only with my thirst but with a jack*ss in front of me.
"WE don't like new people... especially a female who just comes in and start drinking." he growled. The Bartender had to be in his late 30's maybe early 40's. You could tell he was the type that would rather abuse a woman than call her his equal. Just being near him I can smell fresh blood on his flesh. He better pray that I don't change my mind about feeding on human. if I did... I would make sure he be the first to perish in this time.
"Well why don't you, Zena (short for Alexina)..Come on... can't you hear it? Doesn't he smell so good? I bet he enjoy beating her up. Mmm, I bet he..." Rae was trying to bait me. I glared at her, though nobody could really see what I was doing other than the fact I moved my head to the side. I look back at the man before.
"I'm a female? Haven't noticed. Thanks for telling me. I would have been confused for the rest of my life." I looked up at him. I could tell he was spooked by me. It is not every day you see a female with almost pure black eyes starting at you. Kind of makes you want to go back to church and pray for a few years.
The bartender back away and went about his business. I can feel the restlessness of the other customers in the tavern. I sigh as I climb off the stool. Throwing a few coins down, paying way over the normal price of the drink, I head out into the street to go meet my client. The Sun was starting to set. I Could feel it, who ever was tailing me earlier would be up and about or starting to get up. I begin to walk toward the run-down church not far from the tavern. The place smell of evil and blood. Something long time ago was done here to stain that land.
A church stained? What? How can that be? Is it not holy ground? It is as long as it is blessed with salt and by a priest that is not corrupted. A hundred years ago- a priest went crazy and killed a lot of his followers. Claiming it was because God told him too and that they must bath the land in blood, when it was actually 1200 years old Demon who manage to possess him due to the affair he was having and drove him bat crazy. Shaking my head. Strange how places will change faster than the people will.
I tried to cleanse the place the best I could, but being that I am techincally consider evil- well all I could do was to keep demons away from this place. So, if I was able to at least do that then why am I coming back to this place for a client? Simple- according to the information I gather, 15 children has gone missing over the past four months. I can keep upper level demons from visiting this place, but not vampires or succubus, or even witches for tha matter. That is whole another evil to have to contain and cleanse. I enter the church. I stopped in my tracks the second I cross the threshold. Fresh blood... two maybe three days fresh. I glance around. My seals have been broken all right. Crap, what human was dumb enough? I place my finger to the bridge my nose. Great, so it could be a demon. If you murder someone on this ground all that cleansing I was talking about goes out the window. I look up to see a middle age woman looking at me. I glance to Rae.
Rae was quiet. Something wasn't right if Rae wasn't talking. "What's up? What do you feel?" I asked her. Rae just looked at me. I could see she was shaken by what she saw.
"There's tons of them. I can hear them crying. They broke it... they broke the seal on purpose. They listen to false lies." She whispered. I glance back to the woman before us.
"Is she real?" I asked. I knew what Rae meant a few seconds ago. Somebody promise this town something and the town took it. With this gift came strings that nobody foresaw and nwo they want me to clean it up. This means I will probably not get paid, again. Goodie- screw goodness.
Rae nods her head. "She is very real. Clean and has nothing attach to her. Why would she pick htis place?" she asked. I start to walk ahead.
"I don't know... but I think she want to know if I can smell it. If I am real or if I am a fake." I spoke. I could see the woman studying me. I hated it when they do it. They summon for a hunter, and I appear and the next thing I know I amd one 50 millions test when I should be out there hunting what ever it is I am getting paid to killed. I reached the lady. I could feel the sun setting even more.
The magic surrounding this place flares. I could smell the evil and the creature that use to linger in that place. It was a demon at first, but the smell shifted and change. It almost smell... no... it couldn't be. It couldn't be him. I shook my head. My father has long since died and went to the other world. It would be no way that he could cross that. The Great spirit wanted to keep him there to keep from the would blowing up. I should know... I helped the Great Spirit do that. Of course that means, Daddy is very piss with me. But I could live with that if it means that this planet lives. Also means I wasn't engaged any more too-- thank goddess. I wonder what ever happen to him? Shaking my head I pull myself back to the present. I listen to Rae as I begin my introduction and begin to ask about what is going on.
meanwhile- I don't realize that my follower is getting closer to town.

Ammon kept moving and in no time he was able to pick up the scent of the dhampir and that other scent....as he followed it he saw that she had gone into a bar...interesting place for a dhampir to go, if she were looking for a meal it would be easier to hunt in the darkness unless she were looking for information...As he closed his eyes he was able to pick up and actually see her move into the bar and then when he was about to stop using his vision he saw her leave and head towards....The church?
He was about to head that way but he figured he would go into the bar and follow in her footsteps. As he moved towards the door he reached for it but he stopped as he very lightly muttered a spell of vision to make himself look like a man of his thirty's and once he was done he walked in and he made his way to the bar and right when he sat down he was asked what he wanted to drink but he ignored the man and closed his eyes as he started to watch and pick up on things that were said....the words were still in the air....and the feelings...
She was hungry.....and this....man...or Jack@$$ as he was thought to be really didn't like her.....will at least they had that in common...because he didn't like the guy either. Ammon slowly opened his eyes and looked to the guy and he spoke lightly to him..." Treat women better....or you'll meet a horrible end...." Right after he said that and before the guy could say anything Ammon let his eyes flash a bright red and he showed his fangs as he looked at the man with anger and then after the man backed away and nodded quickly and said to himself over and over again that he would treat other women better and with that he turned and left the bar and he took his normal form behind his mask and cloak and he walked towards the church and as he did he felt something that was wrong...very wrong...and the feeling was.... growing...

I looked at the woman. She was simple, reminds me a lot of Rae's mom. She was soft spoken, but I can sense a determination. "You're a witch, or are you just stupid?" I asked. The lady was shocked. Apparently nobody asked her such a question. I listen to Rae as she started talking about the woman.
"why does this place smell of blood? It was suppose to be cleanse a long time ago." I spoke. I listen to the woman telling me the life long history. "Ok, but that doesn't tell me why is there fresh magic lingering in this place?"
"One of our local priest when missing for a few days. When he came back, he was different... darker." she said. "He began to sway our younger people to come here and do god knows what."
I shook my head. "Any idea where this priest is?" I asked. The woman of course said yes. She pointed me toward a new church. Of course, one corrputed church then corrupted another. I pull my hat down as I turned to walk out. "All I request is a place to stay were I can be alone and that you keep everybody away from these two churchs. My fee is 5,000 pouds." I contiuned out of the building. I could hear Rae grumbling how we wouldn't get paid. I rarely did. I brush dust off my jacket. "Off to go look at that other church."

As Ammon was heading towards the church he stopped really quick and then he felt the dhampir coming towards him so he turned to mist and spread out to hide his location and his scent from her and from the spirit that traveled with her...if anything they would sense the energy coming from all around them but they might mistake it for the evil that surrounded the place..unless the knew exactly what to look for they shouldn't be able to locate him and that would be good sense if he was going to confront this dhampir he needed to make sure it was in a secluded area without innocence near by so that no one would get in the way. but not only that....this dhampir seemed to be looking for something so if he could continue to follow her and learn more than that would help in the long run.

I kept walking as I my mind drifted over the information I had. Who could it be? I didn't know, but I had guess. Once I am able to meet the priest, I can pick up who it is that is being naughty.
Lucifer was kind of picky as to who would leave. Same with the light realm who ever ruled that now. I looked over at Rae. "You don't think?" Rae didn't say a word. I could understand why. She was as lost as I was. Well more like trying to put pieces together and figured out what's going on.
I stopped not far from the church. I felt something. Something old... of course not as old as me. I looked around. So, my follower found me. I didn't get it. Why was I being followed? I didn't have time to question who ever or what ever it was. I needed to figure out who killed those children. Chilren really? Why did they go after the innocent? Virgins are better...r ather it be virgins than children. I sigh as I contunied my path. Tonight was going to be long.

Ammon watched her closely and now that he could see her it was easy to see that she was powerful and very old even older than himself and last he had heard he was the oldest....well it seems that life surtainly can still surprise even the immortal beings that walk among the mortals.
He watched and then when she started to move again he knew she had sensed him and he would have to show himself but he still wanted to see where she was going so he just stayed as the mist and continued to follow the Dhampir to her next location and also to a place that would cause questions to be asked.
