Vampire Hunter (A Twilight Story) - Season 1 - Episode 6

“That’s more than one question.” I answered lightly in an attempt to make the situation less tense. He just continued to stare. Sigh, apparently werewolves have no sense of humor. “Well the first one is a little complicated so to answer your second question the knowledge about the existence of vampires has been passed down for generations in my family.”


He merely nodded and waited for me to continue. My gift was always a hard topic for me to talk about because no one could actually relate or fully understand. Plus it was such a huge and private part of me that I had only shared this knowledge with my family. This was information I never wanted to share but it looked like I had little choice if I were to get the answers I needed. “As for the answer to your first question it’s complicated like I said. Hmmmm how do I describe it? Well I have an ability that allows me to…feel peoples…auras as it were.” They just looked at me, not fully comprehending but this didn’t surprise me. I tried to think of an analogy that may help describe it. While it was not a visual thing, but a feeling, I decided maybe a visual representation would be best.
“Ok what I am about to describe isn’t exactly how it works for it has nothing to do with sight but it’s the only way I can think of describing it so it makes sense. Imagine you’re in a pitch black room with a hundred different people. Each of these individuals are completely blind and can’t distinguish one person from another. However, when I stare around the room I can see everyone. Not their physical features but everyone in the room has their own unique aura or light as it were. I look around in the darkness and see a hundred different yellow lights moving around me, each its own shade and brightness. Furthermore, I can distinguish not only between individual humans but other species such as vampires or animals. Their auras are very different and therefore if I were to go looking for the one vampire in the room it would not be hard. They would be a shining red light among the yellow.”
They stared silently at me and I took a quick breath before continuing. “As for you guys, while your auras are predominately human, in this form at least, there is an animalistic quality to it and that side becomes more dominant when you change. It’s something I have never felt before. That’s how I knew there was something up with all of you.” I finished lamely and hoped that it made some sense.



“Thank you for explaining” he simply said. It seemed like they understood and some were looking at me curiously. Some even looked impressed. I couldn’t help but smile a bit.


“Now answer me this. I overheard you saying you were protectors of your people. I’m assuming your protecting them from vampires.”


“Yes”
“So how do you do that exactly?” I was sure they didn’t carry any weapons on them when they changed and I couldn’t see a wolf being any sort of match for a vampire, even ones as big as them.
“When we change our teeth and claws are capable of tearing through their skin, we’re not sure why but we are grateful none the less. In addition we are also very fast and work as a team in the process. Together it is not a difficult task” A few of them laughed and their eyes shown with excitement. They enjoyed the killing of vampires that much was clear.
All I managed to say was “Hmmmm” While I was never one to ask for assistance I debated whether I should seek their help in the actual killing of the newborns. While I was tempted I decided against it for now since they would not move well in the city, if I was desperate I could always come back.
He stared at me for a moment and seemed deep in thought. Finally he asked, “Why are you here looking for the vampires?” D--n, I was hoping he would save that one for last because I wasn’t even entirely sure on that one.


“I was hoping to find some answers to what has been going on in Seattle.” It was truthful enough.

“Seattle? What’s going on in Seattle that makes you come here?” It was my turn but I let that one go, he seemed genuinely confused.

“You are aware of the mass disappearances and killings right?” They nodded their heads and comprehension eventually hit them.
“A Vampire is responsible!?” It was both a statement and a question and there was obvious anger in his tone. How did he not know this? Some protectors.
“Vampires to be exact.” I corrected him, no way would a single vampire be able to cause that much trouble in Seattle. Well not one with any logic that is. Now it was my turn. “If there are vampires in the area and your responsibility is to kill them, then why do you have a treaty with this particular coven?”
“How did you know about that?” I just stared at him. I was going to get my answers. When he realized I wasn’t going to say anything he decided to answer, “First of all we did not personally make the treaty, our ancestors did and they only did so because this coven is not like most vampires.” The one named Jacob snorted and Sam gave him a glare that was clearly a warning and continued. “They don’t hunt humans. They live off the blood of animals and as long as they don’t harm any human lives and stay off our land we keep the peace.”
I didn’t know what to say. I was at a loss for words once again today, a record. Vampires that don’t hunt humans!? I didn’t think it was possible for them to even live off animals, or have the restraint or desire to do so. How or why would a blood thirsty monster care for the lives of human beings? They were killers by nature, caring only for themselves, consumed on finding their next victim. Well that’s what I had always believed and my past experience supported this. Yet if what he said was true this brings everything into question. I felt like part of my world was being turned upside down. Everything I have believed may have been wrong. Inaccurate to say the very least.
