I can't believe it. He is still stalking me! I look to Rae. "Who is he?" I whispered. Rae just ignored me. She usually does that when I am talking about another vampire. This one is old. Probably one of the oldest of the water down version of my blood. I pull my hat off as I crotch low on the hill as I observe the church below. "Wish he would just show himself. I am really too busy with this case to figure out... who broke the seal." I closes my eyes as I listen to Rae talk about all the ghosts she see.
"So much death Zena... you know who it is... don't you?" She said.
I open my eyes, which begin to take on a violet, silver and red coloring. Usually this means I am pass my limit and need to hunt, but when I am to this point I can use it to pick up trails of what ever demon I am hunting. The world look like big giant laser show in this state. I saw black and silver line lingering around the church. "So... death has grace this place. Why would they let a demon in?" I am missing a big piece of the puzzle.
Rae sighs. "People are stupid... I mean look at you. You went all crazy and killed me and mine..." I growled at Rae.
"Really? You are judging humanity base on me?" I shook my head, "People usually are wonderful... were you this cynical when you were alive?" I barked.
Rae just glared at me. "No... you made me this way."
"I didn't... I just made you dead. You could have still be happy... I might actually enjoy it." Rae just turned away from me. Great, silence treatment again. Hope there isn't anything I need know.
I look over my shoulder. He is still there. "Mind hurrying up and showing yourself? Getting a little tired of being followed."

He was behind her and he was tired with sneaking around and it didn't make any sense to keep it up if she knew he was there so he figured he might as well do what she asked...." Alright sense you have asked i'll do it...." Slowly the mist gathered and the dark mist started to become the black cloak he wore and as it was finally done he stood behind her with his bask on that his his face and on the mask there was only one eye hole and behind it rather than there being a red eye there was a blue one and as he looked to her he bowed low and then once he stood straight up he started to speak." A pleasure to meet you....however i regret to tell you that i have come here to kill you. I have been hired to kill you for what you have done." As he stood there a ball of fire appeared in his right hand and a ball of lightning appeared in his left.
"its nothing personal ..its just business..cant allow you to live after what you did.." He slowly raised his right hand as he looked to her and then she raised her hand and he stopped because it looked like she wanted to say something...he figured it wasn't so bad to say your final words so he waited before he attacked.

I glanced over my shoulder. "Really? Got to go with the classic? You couldn't go with something more original?" I tap my finger on my knee. I could feel Rae not too far. I looked back at the church. "Hush... I am trying to find the...." I stopped when I heard him speak. I glance back at him. "Beg your pardon?" I raised my hand to hush him then I saw that fireball. What did I do? What crime? I haven't done anything in over a 100 years. I wasn't about to explain that to this water down version of myself.
I quickly wave my hand back, faster than he could see, and threw him backward. Vines grew out of the ground and began to form a cage. I shook my head. "Really? My death? What on earth is my crime? And how made you judge and jury? Can you not use your eyes and look to see I am working right now? Kill me after the demon is dead. You are not strong enough to face a demon alone. Nobody else... man you are stupid."
I can't believe how stupid this man is. If I was going to kill someone and that person is doing a job, I would use that person to complete the job then take them out. That is smarter than wasting your energy.
I look back at the church. "Ok... he is there, but what is he doing?" I couldn't figure it out without a closer look.

After the vines grew and turned into a cage he stood up and composed himself as he started to explain..."Well it would just so happen that this contract of mine is a little order than 100 years....you see there is a family called the Benadicts of whom have contracted me...it seems that long ago you had stumbled onto a house while the need for blood was taking you and any of those who you saw you attacked and ripped them apart. The father Daniel Benadict was the only survival and he passed it down through his family that a monster with your exact description was wanted for murder....hence the reason i'm here. I met them and took the job because i feel that this world doesn't need creatures like us especially the evil blood thirsty ones....Any of this ring a bell?" He just stood in the little prison waiting for his moment and to see if the elder one would even remember something for long ago.

I caught a sight of the priest. "Over a hundred years hunting for someone like me?" I looked over my shoulder at him. "Honestly no... that does not ring a bell." I look to see Rae starting at me. The last and first family I destroyed was hers. I whispered softly, "Don't look at me..." I turned and looked at the water down version. "Think... you can hold off trying to kill me until this contract is done?"
I didn't know what else to say. I do not remember this family. Of course I didn't remember Rae's either. 200 years ago, lets say I wasn't all there. My father decided to curse me for joining against his enemies, both Lucifer, God, and the Great Spirit. In cursing me, my father release a thirsty I have never known. I went insane because of it and did many unspeakable things. Slowly over time, I was able to gain my back senses though my memory is scatter. At time, I can remember bits and pieces from those time.
I been spending the last 100 years, trying to make up for the crime I committed. So me killing someone in the last 100 was impossible. I look to Rae and could see she was thinking the same thing I did. Who is acting like me? All my father's follower didn't know I lived. They thought that i was killed during the great war. Only God, Lucifer, and the Great spirit knew different... well of course my father. My blood was needed to seal him away.
I look back at the guy. "Who hired you?"

Ammon calmly waited as she spoke her mind and then when she was done and asked him who had hired him he had no problem with telling her. " Sense you are being civil i see no reason not to answer your question..." He thought for a second and recalled the conversation back in absolute clarity and then he gave the answer. " it was an old man....said he was a blood relative to the family to were said to have killed...he payed handsomely for your death...in fact..now that i think about it he paid a little to well for a man his age..I had never asked questions before about the one i'm being hired by because usually i'm able to feel if ones intentions are pure....for some reason i couldn't read this man but his story checked out so i began my search for you and here we are. " He looked at his cage and then he looked back to the dhampire." if you don't mine i'm going to get out of this cage now." He looked to his cage and then he held out his hand and as he spoke a few words to himself blades of wind shot out and cut the cage of vines to peaces and then once he was out he bowed a little and asked one more question." So shall we get back to the situation at hand?"

Rae smirked a little. She was beginning to like this guy, which mean it could be really bad for me. I had a feeling he could get out of it. If he couldn't, I would have to question a lot of his skills. I felt him break the vines. Simple magic, but it helps at time. I thought over his story. "When did this happen?" I was curious. If someone was accusing me of doing a crime, like to know when. I kept records of my travel, a dairy you can say. I kept my back toward him, but always aware of him.
Rae was gloating at the fact that someone was here to kill me. "Goodie... a new player. And maybe this time he can kill you and free me." She smirked at me.
I just rolled my eyes as I watch the priest. He felt human, but something was up. I could smell death, and blood as soon as he walked out of the church. I glance over my shoulder. "I am sorry, you were saying that we should get back to something. What exactly? You trying to kill me or my contract?"

Ammon looked to her and started to walk a little closer but he moved slow as to not make her jumpy and he kept moving until he could get a good view of who or what she was looking at and then he spoke." I don't usually do this but how about i tag along to see what it is your up to and then after your done with whatever your job is then i can complete my contract. I'm in no hurry and as i watch you i become more and more curious about what it is your suppose to do here and with that priest so by all means continue what your doing and i wont get in the way...i may even help...if needed." He said from behind his mask as he looked from the priest to the girl who was quickly becoming more interesting by the second.
Ammon lowered himself as he saw the priest look around and then he spoke lightly to the Dhampire ." so why are you after this priest anyway....from here i can feel that something is off but what...is the question. maybe you could feel me in?"

I looked to Rae, she was bugging me a little bit. She seem a little too happy about our new guest. I felt the stranger move closer to me. I almost reached for my knife, but kept my pluse and reaction calm. I looked back. I cursed under my breath as I hear the sound of children. "Sounds like a plan... for now." I spoke. I looked over as I heard him address me.
"Got a message through a contact about a month ago. Couldn't come straight out. Over the last years, more than 25 children has gone missing which is big in a small community as this." I looked back as I began to straighten up and started stepping back toward the road. "This place... during the great war housed many strong demon. After a war, the daughter of our cursed father came back and cleansed it. Saved the people from the hell that rised here. Someone was able to break a steal and let a demon rise here." I brush my hand back against my pant. "I need to go talk to the elders. They may shed some light on this priest."

He watched and listened closely as she told her story and then as she started to move he moved as well to give her all the space he thought she would want and the whole time he was listening he could sense the ghost that had been following her near by...he had watched her closely and he had seen her react to things that he did not do and from that he knew the ghost was connected to the Dhampire...he had heard that sometimes if you kill someone a connection could be made and as long as you lived the spirit of the deceased would forever follow you he knew that his was the case but such things were not as important as what this woman was doing.
He pushed out the meaningless thoughts of the ghost and followed the woman and made sure to keep his distance...and it was not to protect himself but to maybe ease the mind of the contract he was following. He was starting to think that maybe she had been set up. One of his gifts was the ability to sense if someone was lying and the woman's story all checked out...nothing was out of place or being hidden. " You think that the priest down there is responsible for the missing children? What would a priest need with children unless he was trying to summon a demon....or to feed something..."

Rae was very curious about our guest. I can see her hovering close to the guy. I rolled my eyes as I pull my hat lower.
"Rae... seriously? Can be more stalkerish?" She just laugh at me.
"Can you appear to be even more insane?" She replied.
"Can you shut up?" I responded. I looked over my shoulder to see the stranger was still with us. My mind was lost in thoughts. I don't understand why they would break the seal, or rather who would talk someone into breaking the seal. Someone of great magic had to commit a crime of unspeakable, but they had to have a blessing of someone. It just doesn't make sense.
I heard the stranger talking to me again. "Yes, I do. He has this aura around him. The human soul that was once there was killed and I believe a demon possess it. It's not unheard of, but for someone of good character be possess they had to be involved in the most in something evil and corrupted."
I could feel eyes on me as I contunied walking. I didn't need any other pigs getting on my case today. I detour off toward a more wooden area. "Elders tend to live out of town. They feel it would allow them to be unbias." I hope nothing happen to them. It was them who really contracted me and that is never a good sign. It means the witched who use to live here was the blood spilt to break my seal. What has happen?

As they walked he nodded in response to the woman's words and then he looked to his left and he could see the outline of the spirit that was with them and he smiled from under his mask....so it seems that he wasn't the only curious one out of the three...the spirit was moving quite close and although he could see it in detail he knew it was looking at his mask probably trying to see what he looked like...it wouldn't be the first time someone was curious to see him masks were good for making people and creatures curious but they were also good at hiding identity's as well." Why hello there..." He said as he looked right at the spirit and then he looked forward and kept following." The elders who contracted you? I take it there the type to not want to get there hands dirty...hence the reason they send you and not take care of it themselves?." This was all getting very interesting....missing children...demons....ghosts...blood...something told him that things were going to get very crazy if he were to continue to travel with the two.

Rae stopped moving. He could see her, how odd. I noticed the look on Rae's face. So our guest can sense her as well as almost see her. hmmm... interesting. I stopped in the path. I looked around as I smell something. I looked over my shoulder.
"Great, it seem that the villiage let out that I am here." I shook my head.
I was so hungry. Hate my thrist rise at the weirdest time. I look over at Rae then to the stranger.
"Short of... they do what nobody else can do, but in away nobody know they agreed to it. A lot of politics, wouldn't want that job." Already had a job like that. I like not having to worry about how my actions affect another person.
"Still there... I have no idea who it is. And I rather not risk their safety until I know. I guess I'll go once the sun is up. Have a feeling who ever it is... won't think anything if I did that."

He stopped as well and looked to her." Why is that a bad thing...are you not trying to help these people...or are you afraid that because they know that your hear it could complicate things and make it harder to do your investigation. If that's the case then perhaps i could help out with that. Some persuasion might be beneficial to this situation but only with your okay of course...I'll take your lead for i am only a guest in this mission of yours." He waited for her answer as he looked towards the spirit again and noticed she was still hovering close by. " Curious as to what or who i am I'm guessing?" he asked the question more to the woman sense the spirit seems to still want to hide from him and not say anything.

"Because if the priest suspect that I am not a traveler then he could do something to turn the town against me." I looked around. "If I visit them when they make their trip tomorrow to get food, won't be so odd. Visitors do it all the time. local Custom."
I could see that Rae was debating on showing herself to this stranger. I would rather she didn't, but I can't control any more than she could control me. I look back at the stranger.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked. "She is just being a freak."
"AM NOT!!!" She yelled and before I knew she was there for all to see. I slap my forehead as I stared Rae.
"Great, thanks Rae." I said.
