Snippet #2328824

John slowly opened his eyes, sitting in the back seat of the chauffeur's car whom had picked him up from the airport. He pulled out his phone and pulled up the GPS app on it, he could see that the Penumbra Bar was just a few blocks over.

"'Scuse me sir, could you let me out here?" He asked of the chauffeur. John got out of the car, told him to drop his suitcase off at the apartment, and gave him the money he owed and a tip. Walking to the sidewalk in the direction of the bar, John checked the time before putting his phone back into his pocket. Midnight. Perfect time for everything. He thought to himself. John observed all the people he passed by, there weren't many out now because it was so late, a lot of them were vampires. He could read guilt, hunger, pain, mischief, and other assorted emotions, all over their faces. Stopping for a second before continuing, he looked up at the moon. It'll be full in a few days, guess I'll find out then if vampires are the only creatures that live in this city.

The closer he got to the bar, the more the air smelled of blood. He heard yelling a block over and picked up his pace. The first thing his eyes caught as he round the corner was guy with a girl in one arm, and one at his side. Then John noticed the blade on his arm, the blood that dripped from it, and the noise that was coming from the bar.

John felt an urge to draw his sword, but didn't just yet. "So, uh, you wanna tell me what's going on here?" He said to the man as he walked closer.
