Vampires; at a young age parents fed their children stories to think of these creatures as blood sucking animals who fed on the weak and the inferior. Roaming around the areas looking for their next victim they could quench their thirst on, tossing the remains of their body deep in to the forest for them to never be found.
Humans were never pleased to how they were below these cold blooded, pale supernatural beings. Time after time humans tried to eradicate the vampires: garlic, sunlight and silver. But as time passed they became immune. At the age of 15, the human government would gather all the strong children of that age group, training them in combat and speed.
The 'manhunt' was a group organised by the human who wanted to demolish the existence of vampires. So far, they haven't succeeded.
Their only hope was Skylar B. Jennet. At a young age she had already expressed her hatred towards vampires. Getting recruited at 11 to bring down the Vampire King. Once the Vampire King is down, the whole vampire community will soon follow.
"Are you fully prepped for this?" Questioned the leader.
"I was born to do this, to give back our people their earth. We were born to control this area. Not being ordered by these pale blooded creatures." Answered the already excited 11-year-old.
"I like the way you think, you'll need to undertake training for a couple of years. Your enthusiasm is really astonishing for someone in your age range, but we need your speed to increase as those supernatural beings have very high speed."
"I'm not the stereotypical girl. Whilst they like barbies, I like creating plans on how to destroy the vampire species. Maybe this is the only reason that my father has finally decided to give me away."
"Where is your mother, if you don't mind me asking?"
"I don't know, I was raised by my father. Just me and my dad. I hope he doesn't get ill again and is able to look after himself when I'm gone."
"Have you finished packing all your belongings."
"Yes, let me just say a final goodbye to my father."
Running quickly back into the living room and into his arms, she wrapped her caramel arms around his bony neck, not wanting to let go. Salty tears dropped down her pigmented cheeks and landed on his thin white shirt. He lifted her chin up and wiped her tears and whispered gently in her ears: "I will always be here, whenever you are feeling the need to come home."
One of the leader's soldiers entered in and grabbed the little girl off her father's lap and placed her gently on the ground. With a gruff voice he said that "it was time for them to leave and that she should hurry her goodbyes."
"Bye daddy, I will always be thinking of you."
"I will be thinking of you to baby girl, do me proud." He managed to crack a smile, even though his heart was slowly breaking.
Mr Bennet walked them out and gave her one last hug as she entered the black van. With all the other children that have been collected from her area. She was the youngest there.
The key was in. And they were on there way. Waving until her father was out of her eyesight. She looked around the oddly spaced van, trying to see which girls or boys she could hang out with. But the question is would they accept her for being small and curvy or being that age.
Sitting on her own, a girl who looked to be about 12 or 13 came and sat next to her. Putting her hand out so they could shake hands. She put her much smaller hands in her big hand.
"Hello, my name is Jennifer and you are."
"Skylar, how old are you?"
"I'm 13 and you."
"11 years old."
"Wow you're so young."
"I know." A strawberry coloured blush tinted her caramel cheeks.
The journey wasn't that long. Only a 30-minute drive from where she used to live. She collected her small bag and suitcase. Following Jennifer out of the van and into the assembly hall where there would be a briefing and they are then able to walk off and tidy up their rooms and wander around the training facility.
"Hello and welcome, to the 'manhunt' me and my comrades, fellow manhunters picked 100 out of the other 15 year old American kids. And two of our youngest Skylar and Jennifer aged 11 and 13. Today you'll just wonder around and enjoy the rooms. I hope you enjoy today and tomorrow is when the real training begins. You are split into groups and will be lead by our oldest students, so you can become better and be able to destroy the creatures we despise."
Everyone stood up and cheered. One; exciting that they got chosen. Two; that there is possibly a chance that the vampires might get eradicated.
