Vampire Hunter (A Twilight Story) - Season 1 - Episode 7
Sam cleared his throat. I struggled for a second to come out of thought and pay attention to the man in front of me. “You said you were looking for answers but why here and if you find them what do you plan on doing with that information? It’s not like you can do anything to stop those in Seattle so why do you care so much?”
I couldn’t help but laugh a little. “I care because once I find the information I need I plan on putting an end to what’s going on in Seattle. I feel that the vampires near by may have the information I need to do this.”
They stared at me and when they realized I wasn’t joking a few began to laugh. I was used to people underestimating me though I was the epitome of never judge a book by its cover. Still their laughter annoyed me. Sam didn’t laugh, nor did Jacob.
“I admire your bravery but I don’t see how that is possible” Sam said “unless there is something you haven’t told us.” The suspicion returned.
Determined to wipe the cocky smirks of their faces I raised my head a fraction and spoke, “Well when you asked me how I knew about vampires I spoke the truth. That knowledge has been passed down for generations but for a specific reason. I come from a long line of vampire hunters and have been trained on how to kill them since I was a young child.” They were silent.
Sam finnally spoke, “You’re not kidding are you?”
“No. I have killed eight vampires in the last six years. The last three have only been in the last few weeks in Seattle. That’s why I have come. Seattle is overrun and from little information I have gathered I have a feeling I’ll find my answers here.”
Sam began to speak and seemed to be choosing his words carefully, “Please take no offence but how is that possible. You’re just a regular human girl. How can you possibly track, capture and kill a vampire?”
“I’m far from regular I assure you of that.” I smiled, “As you know my abilities allow me to sense others nearby. No matter how fast someone moves I will always know where they are.” They were listening intensely and as the sun began to sink behind the horizon a few rays escaped the clouds casting streaks of light upon their chests. “However, I can do much more than sense ones aura. If they’re close enough I can actually manipulate it. I can essentially stop them in their tracks and make it impossible for them to move for a brief period of time.” Their eyes widened as they processed this information and I couldn’t help but feel a little smug. “As for killing them I have specially made weapons for that task.” My tone was such that I conveyed I would speak no more of that topic. I didn’t want them knowing everything.
Sam took another step forward. “Why did you want to speak to us if it’s the vampires you wish to talk to?”
“I came here looking for information that may lead to their location and I found you. You have knowledge of their whereabouts I assume and I was hoping you would tell me where I could find them. It is of the utmost importance.” I was doing my best to get them to trust me and understand the gravity of the situation.
He seemed conflicted. “I don’t know if I could do that. It may violate the treaty.” He paused, stared at the one called Jacob for a second and turned back to me, “I am, however, willing to attempt to contact them and give them the choice whether or not they wish to speak with you.” Though he said it in a calm and respectful manor I could tell the idea of approaching these vampires still disgusted him. Jacob turned his head and gave Sam a hard look that I didn’t understand.
I almost sighed in relief. “Thank you, I truly appreciate it.” I walked over to my car, pulled out a piece of paper and wrote my cell phone number down. I handed it to him. “You can call me anytime, day or night. I look forward to hearing from you, no matter what the news.” Not that I would stop looking if they refused, I would just need to get a little more creative. He merely nodded. This was not a man of many words.
We shook hands briefly, his scorching mine, and I got inside my car. As a pulled away and they disappeared back into the forest my mind began going a million miles a minute. While I had finally received some of my answers I still had more questions, most of them focusing around the nearby coven. The knowledge of their chosen lifestyle had truly shaken me. I didn’t know what to expect and therefore I was unsure of my next course of action. I would just have to prepare myself for any possibility.
If they didn’t harm humans were they truly monsters then, despite what they were? Did they deserve death merely being what they were? Should I hunt them despite their chosen lifestyle? I wasn’t sure of any of anything anymore. The very foundation in which my beliefs stood upon had crumbled. As I drove back to the hotel to wait for Sam’s call not once did these questions leave my mind.
What was I going to do?
