Setting
The Story Thus Far...
It was 2am in Trinket City. The police called it the Wolfing Hour, and for good reason. No police came into the city at 2am; they were all hiding in their apartments, doors locked, guns trained at chest-level, safeties off. 2am was when all the "wolves" came out to play; the scum of the city oozing its way out of the sewer, congealing itself into near-human forms stuffed with smoke, blood, drugs, and bared teeth.
You walk down the sidewalks. The city reminds you of Tokyo, almost, with all the neon lights, fast food advertisements, and 60-story buildings of glass. But Tokyo had a feeling of sex, of cars going too fast, of naughty thoughts and wishes come true.
Trinket City was different. It felt like being choked, drowning in some strangers bathtub, the hot pulse of a cigar between thick lips, the needle piercing you skin, shooting you up, bullets riddling your body as they hold you down. The hot burn of whiskey as you watch the blood dribble down your wrists into the street drains, the rats clawing and pushing for the chance to feed on your flesh.
No, Trinket didn't feel like sex. It felt like a wolf fight.
But why is Trinket City so different from any other crime-ridden city? Because 20 years ago a virus broke out; they call it "vampirium".
The first victim was Dante Lucretio, 35 years old, a constitutional law teacher at Trinket School of Law and Order. He was arrested for killing his students. When being interrogated, he killed the detective. He was sentenced for murder as a capital crime, and set to execution. When being prepped for death by lethal injection, it was discovered that his body was in a state called "suspended animation". He wasn't technically even alive. He escaped the prison and hasn't been seen since.
Soon other arised. It was declared a pandemic. Anyone showing symptoms were quarantined, and killed by being burned "alive". The infectees -vampires- feed on human flesh and blood.
Outraged by the crime at their "people", the vampires rebelled. Broadway Bloodbath; that's what they call it. Six teenage vampires killed over a hundred humans, and took twelve hostages at the Broadway theater.
The Freak Parties came next. Humans who got a kick off of being bit by a vampire. Vampires who liked to party and do drugs. Soon, vampires had taken over the cocaine industries. Then the races came. They'd stick two or more humans half-starved in an alley and told them that the first one out would get to live, and the others would meet a lesser fate.
After a while, they'd taken over the city, police stations abandoned as the army was brought in. Riots littered the streets. Children were homeschooled. And a war was started.
During the night, the vampires rule the city.
But during the day, when the vampires are weaker, the police come back in. Taking Hostages, killing, burning buildings too the ground.
So which side do you take? Are you a vampire; fighting for your right too live; to belong too someplace and be free? Or are you human; fighting for your home, your city, your children, and your own right too live?

I watched the woman go in and the exchange with the deamon and disreguarded any potential danger. I then lept from rooftop to rooftop searching for any sign of the person or persons that had been following me for the past few weeks. A sudden scream came to my attention and I soon found my target of the night and his victim a young girl this time. I Jumped down then letting out a long loud and screaching whistle while pulling out my weapon of choice, and knocking Jack to the ground. The young girl ran at my authorative command, "So Jack did you miss me, I can't wait to kill you. See this whip I use your types fangs and crush them into powder. I combine the powder with silver and have it blessed so that any vampire can be killed with it and becuase, of my lineage I am the only one who can wield it." I laugh as I throw the whip and the smell of burning flesh is instant after a loud scream. Jack went for a kill shot but never made it, I threw the whip around his neck and yanked Jack went down I approached with caution and Jack luached himself at me and managed to graze my shoulder before I killed him and ripped his fangs out. "Not so tough now are you? Pathetic actually you were to easy to kill," I say sarcasticly. I hear the scuffle of a shoe and the clanking of a glass bottle being kicked. I knew it was deliberate and ment as a scaring tactic, this part of town was known for feeders and kidnappers. "If you think to scare me, you should try harder," I then laugh sarcasticly at the pathetic attempt to scare me. All of a sudden I felt tired and knew I had a bleeding wound, soon darkness took hold of me...

After work, another worthless, wasted attempt at finding a Master, Lucretia decided to take a walk around the city. Yes, it was stupid, but at the moment she could care less.
As she was walking, she heard someone screaming. A girl, no doubt human. Another rogue vampire? It was creatures like that that made the whole race hated. Suddenly, the girl, frantic, ran out of a nearby alley. Lucretia could her shouting, and the crack of a metal whip. Against her better judgement, she walked into the alley, just as the vampire collapsed.
As a weak attempt at looking tough, she kicked a can, hoping it would work. But the attempt was null and void, as the girl collapsed to the ground, unconcious.
Concerned, Lucretia nervously edged her way to the girls side. Once she was sure she was really unconcious, she kneeled beside her, stuffing the whip through her sarong so the girl wouldn't get to it when she woke up. There was blood pooling underneath her from a shoulder wound, and under closer inspection, she wore an assasin's badge from the Human Eradication Force.
The Human Eradication Force (HEF) was out too kill all vampires - rogue or not. Sighing, despite her common sense, Lucretia tore a piece of her sarong off, bandaging the wound to the best of her knowledge to slow the blood flow, and hoisted the girl's arm up over her shoulder. Slowly, she made her way to the University, the HEF hospital, in hopes the girl could be treated there. Because no vampire clinic would treat her - hell, they'd probably eat her.

When I finally came to I realized that I wasn't in the alley, I looked at my shoulder but the wound was bandaged and thier were bands on my wrist. I saw the girl who had been talking to the deamon and went for my whip but came up only with air I looked down to see I wasn't in my clothes at all. My viel thank fully remained, "Where am I, who are you? Why would you speak to a deamon are you one if so you will die, and where are my clothes and weapons did you think to steal them from me?" I say harshly and look all around the room keeping an eye on the girl infront of me. My search turned up nothing, I began to search for the message I had to deliver and collect my pay check for the spying I did for the humans and soon found it. The girl watched me as if stunned, I looked away in regret. "Are you the one who has been following me for the past few weeks or maybe its your patheic master," I ask sarcastically. She shook her head no and so I managed to sit painfully down and check the bedside drawers and find my clothes. I quickly put them on and attempted to take off the wrist bands, but I didn't succeed so I put on my boots and went to the door now blocked by the girl. "Move or be knocked out it's your choice," I say coldly.

"You're at HEF," she said. "I brought you here so they could treat you. None of the vamp clinics would."
She glanced down at her feet. "I don't have a Master." She looked up then, and took the girls whip from her waist. "You kill rogue's right? I, um... thanks. This was with you when I found you."
She stepped aside, wincing slightly at the girls threat. "I'm human. Otherwise the HEF soldiers would have killed me all ready. I'm sorry I got in your way." She glanced at the wrist bands. "The doctor in the front should be able to remove those for you."

"Forget the bands, as for being treated i'll live I have had worse done to me. I kill rogue's to protect the humans, I come from a long line of hunters. Stay away from the deamons or you will perish." I take the whip and march out of the room with my head held up high, soon I found a pair of scissors and removed the bands. I watched the girl come up beside me and I put the scissors down and then walked off and I heard her following me. "What is it? What do you want?" I say without turning around. I see her bow her head and stare at her feet, I look away and continue to walk away. "Well well if it isn't our rogue spy, alive I see. Your losing your touch maybe even getting old Nightmare," I hear my boss say to me. "Yeah yeah just give me my paycheck and hears the information you needed. Also you need to up the security becuase, I am being followed by one of the deamons and if you don't get him I will." My boss hands me my paycheck and I head home this time the girl didn't follow me. I jump onto the couch and crash as soon as I get to the old run down apartment. I heard a rustling in the corner of my apartment and withdrew my gun agian,"I just can't get a break tonight," I say to myself. I aim the gun and see the girl from the clinic agian. I put my gun back in the holster, "How did you get in here? WHat do you want with me? Do you want me to kill you sheesh?" I yell at her harshly.

Lucretia stared at the gun, unperturbed. She'd let people tear into her neck with her teeth. People who could bench press cars, without breaking a sweat. A gun wasn't so scary after that.
"I was wondering if I could help you. I... I know things. I can give HEF information, from the inside. I can be a spy." Lucretia walked towards the girl. "Please. Let me help." She got on her knees. "Please."

I stared at the girl for a while as if she'd grown two heads, then tossed my head back and laughed. "You want to be a spy? Why on earth would you eant this job? The pay is less than average, you have no social life, hours that can't be changed, you have the enemy constatly following you twenty-four seven. You have to kill the ones that get to close to you eventually. You don't want this life trust me," I finish with sadness and walk swiftly to the window to look out on the city. The young girl came up behind me and asked why not. Without turning around I told her my story,"One night I was in the stable with my mare just brushing her. I heard the screams of the people claiming to be my parents, they would say that when friends and media were around, behind closed doors it was drugs for them abuse for me. In short I could care less that they are dead, I watched the house burn down. I saw there lifeless body's and one night they found me at first I thought I'd gone crazy, I soon realized what they were and killed them. Now only the memories of them haunt me, I am know as the rogue of the spy's. Why would you choose this profession, why me?" I walk into the kitchen and grab a beer. I offer the girl one but she refused. "Your to nervous and jumpy and defiently to shy. You need to be bold and fearless, you couldn't last a night in the boots of a spy but if you still want to call this number and they will asign you to someone." I say with no real emotion and give the girl the number and watch as she leaves. The next night I am up on a cathedral balcony barrier and looking down on the world looking for the follower at every angle. A sudden noise alerts me to the presence of someone coming I quickly access the roof and wait, I didn't have to wait long as a small figure came out I pounced grabbed the neck and put the gun to the forehead of my next victim. I come face to face with the girl agian, I sigh and get up. " What are you doing hear? I could of killed you, why do you insist on following me? Who sent you? I want awnsers and I want them now." I order the girl.

Lucretia stared evenly at the girl. "I asked if I could help you, not an orginization. The orginizations kill all of the vampires. I'm after the rogues - and I have inside access. I work for one of the three Masters of the City. I can help you; a lot. I know their daylight locations, and they trust me. I feed them. I can help. Let me prove it."

"I won't risk a civilians life. If you have been turned it would be wise that you go now." I say and then walk way heading for the bad section of town. I head for a known slave trafficing area. Once thier I quickly head into the building and immeadiantly see the deamons feeding on the feeder's, I breathe calmly so I wouldn't kill them and head for a dark corner. I videotape everything with a hidden camera for a few minutes and then stop the camera after a while, I search for anyone keeping to close an eye on me. As I turn my head I see some of the deamons watching me, I sneak out to the alley way and then head for the hide out. I reach for my whip as I hear someone behond me, and see the girl again. I sigh, "Why do you insist on following me? Look if you can prove to me that you can hold ur own then I will allow and I use the term loosely but I will allow you to shadow me and teach you the trick's of the trade." I shoved the girl behind me as a rogue came striding up,"Run!!!" I yell to the girl and she does as she is told, I crack the whip which sounds as loud as thunder in the dark and silent streets. "Dimitri we meet again. Did you honestly think I would let you live once I found your latest victims?" He looked at me and then growled from deep in his throat,"Moonrise you are weak you can't defeat me? You hit like a kitten, oh by the way how is that scar of yours?" I unconciously rubbed my left shoulder, and then toss the whip which wraps around his throat. "You will die tonight," I growl angrily. He lunged at me them and bit my other shoulder, I shot him in the head. "Great another matching scar, oh well what can you do these days," I mutter to myself after collecting the fangs and headed for home. I saw the girl coming up to walk beside me, and I looked at her. She looked at me sadly,"What it's a stitch up job, I'll be fine." She shook her head,"What was that all about?" I sigh but tell her,"Dimitri was an old friend of the family and I found out his secret. He tryed to turn me after I threatened to rat him out, and he tryed again just now. No biggy." Once home I stitch up the small cut after peroxiding it and flop down on the couch. The girl fell asleep in the chair, once I was sure she was asleep I went out and checked into work. I handed the tape of to the boss and was sent to a deamon bar. "Why can't I just get a vacation for once?" I said to myself.

Alex kicked down the door. He was on a solo mission to rescue a Lieutenant Colonel who had gotten careless and was captured by a group of rogue vampires. He was sent in solo 'cause a squad would attract too much attention. Alex was at a warehouse often used for sacrifices and blood rituals and whatnot. Raising his pistol, he popped off a lone vampire that was on lookout. He was instantly rushed by about 3-4 vamps, who honed in on the gunshot.
Alex pressed a small button on the side of his pistol, and a knife slid out of the bottom. In one quick motion, he shot two of the vampires in the head, and slit the throat of another one that was charging him. But the one he had missed had jumped from behind Alex and knocked him unconscious.
He woke up about maybe three hours later. He hadn't been bitten, which may surprise you, but Alex had been injected with a special serum that killed any vampire that bites him. The downside? It was REALLY expensive, and only lasted about 7 hours. He had injected it right before the mission. Vampires could sense when it was being used, and didn't take the chance of dying.
He looked around, he was in some sort of bar.......at least that's what he thought. There were creatures, demons, vampires, the like. "Ugh. They got my pistol." he felt in his pocket, and smirked. "But not the smg." He pulled a small device out, and opened it. Inside were all the pieces to a sub machine gun. Not wanting to attract attention, he didn't assemble it. Besides, he rarely used it, for his pistol did more than enough damage.
Alex stood. Looking past the dancers, he saw some really tough looking bouncers guarding the door. "Crap. They'll never let me out." he muttered.

I move close to the stage and see my next target. After he finishes his song of love and woes, he came down and I attracted his attention. When I realized that I had it I went out of the bar this time passing the guards. One of them grabbed me by the arm, "You smell good young Nightmare. You must have gotten sloppy. I smell your sweet blood oh and only recently. Won't you join us?" I half pulled out my whip. "Regaurdless of what you may think deamon I don't join your kind I kill them. Want to and another link to my chian of whips?" He released me, I smirk and half laughed at him,"I thought so." By this time my target was closing in on me, I walked past the curtens and ran for it. I chose to go into the alley this time and when I got to the dead end turned around and pulled my gun out and open fired when me target was within a few inches of me. I retrived the fangs and was imediantly aware of someone's presence,"Show your self or die coward." I said without raising my voice.

Alex thought for a moment, trying to figure out a way to get out. "Maybe if I......" he checked his belt. Yep. Holy powder. Could be useful. Alex crept up behind the two bouncers, threw it in their faces, than ran. The bouncers were too stunned to follow. Alex stopped when he heard someone yell in his direction. "Uh...ok?" He said, stepping toward the voice.

I charged the quavering voice knocking the victim to the ground and aimed the gun at his forhead,"Who are you?" I say then change my mind as I realize he is a human. "Never mind civilian, as you were." I say then turn in the direction of home after a while make a phone call to my boss using my cell phone and informed him that the target was anihilated. I flopped down on the couch when I had gotten home and slept drianed of energy. When I woke up in the morning I crushed the fangs to powder and make them into links of silver and attach them to the whip. I change and cleaned the claw mark on my shoulder, and then fall back into a restless sleep again. When night fell I noticed it was raining so I stuck with rooftops and waited for the rain to stop which finally did after another 30 minutes, I jumped from roof to roof. I finally came to the area where I had met the girl only days earlier. I crouched down on the ledge making sure my presence was well known and waited for the next target, a sudden noise was instantly brought to my attention. I turned expecting to see the girl, but saw nothing. I jumped to the ground rolling as I did so, I stood up and walked into the bar and chose a dark corner to hide in and watched the front door intent to see who was watching me for the past few weeks, but he or she for that matter didn't come into the bar.
I left a message for my boss agian saying I was being followed and then searched the crowd for my next target. This time I was in disguise wearing a bar maid uniform, I served through most of the night and finally realized I was being watched. I looked around but no one seemed to be paying me any close attention, the hair at the back of my neck stood up. I went about my business acting like nothing was wrong. Every once and a while I scanned the are but nothing turned up. I saw a man walk in but paid him no mind, their was a girl called "baby" singing some kind of love song and the girl who was now a room mate was entertaining one of the "Masters'" I was supposed to detial and spy on. I soon came to the table wear the man had sat down had asked,"What will you have sir?" I looked up and reconized him instanly it was the civilian from the other night. I quickly got his oder and vahemantly denied any recognition of him, then I walked out of the door hurrying for home not realizing I was being followed.

I managed to get home without incident. Soon the day light hours would come, I flopped down on the couch and fell into a restless sleep. I dreamed that I had been captured and turned into a slave for the filthy vampiric deamons. I was used as nothing for than to be fed on, it was then that I realized that my work was getting to me or was it something else? I turned over on my side and was jolted awake I rolled and came up with my whip in hand. My breathing was rapid and I realized it was the young girl I hand come within inches of killing. She didn't seem to notice the whip, I suddenly realized that I was sweating badly and the bite mark was starting to burn. I ran to the bathroom and after throwing up I cleaned the wound which had become infected. I flopped back down on the couch after putting a cool cloth on the back of my neck. I tried again to fall asleep but I couldn't seem to do so, becuase I seemed to be agitated and restless so I paced back and forth like a caged animal.
