Red Eye

1

I casually strolled through the woods, making my way to the supposed hunting grounds of a vampire priest. That is always confusing to me. Vampire and Priest. WHY THE HELL DOES THAT EXIST?!?!?!

I walked for another minute or 2 till I reached a clearing with a mausoleum.

"They never even try to hide." I said as I grabbed my blade from my back. My sword was almost as tall as I am. I stand at 6'4 and my blade is 6ft. It's completely black except for the silver edge and it has no sheath, instead it has bandages that run the length of the handle and it runs off the back in a final strand that can stretch and that acts as the sheath to my blade. (To see what the blade looks like. Look up Zangetsu and you will see the famed blade of Ichigo Kurosaki. Don't judge me I like that sword)

"Guess it's time to knock." I closed my eyes and brought the blade up so it was level with my face. "Hunters Art: CRIMSON SLASH!!" I brought the blade up and back down in an arc that manifested a crimson energy wave that shot through the air and ripped the top of the mausoleum clean off. Within seconds the damn Vampire within came flying out.

"WHO DARES DESTROY MY HOME!?" He yelled.

"Oops. Was that your home? My bad." I said sarcastically.

"You." He said pointing at me.

"Me." I said back in a mocking tone.

"I know who you are. You're a Hunter. The best they say. Or so I've heard." He said slyly.

"The best huh. Well sir I am flattered." I said bowing. "My name is Jacob Cross." I said putting my sword over my left shoulder. "And you're going to die." I rushed at the Vamp with blinding speed but he was quick and he easily dodged my swing but I accounted for this and I quickly followed up by dropping low and kicking his feet out from under him causing him to lose balance and come off the ground. I then took the opportunity to dig both hands into the ground and use them to propel my feet into his chest sending him flying into a tree.

"Yep. As I expected." He said getting up from the ground. "You won't be as easy as the rest. Now will you." He got up and clapped his hands together and formed a black sword made from shadow. "So I'll have to resort to different means of dealing with people like you."

I then said something that caught him off guard.

"People like me." I closed my eyes and when I opened them instead of them being their normal rich brown color they were the same color as the moon, "There's nobody like me." I then rushed him and he swung his sword at me but I blocked it and he was obviously confused as to why a physical blade blocked one made from shadow. "Demon killing weapons. Gotta love em." I said as I pushed him back.

He gained footing and rushed me and when he did he actually caught my side with his blade.

"Ngh." I grunted clutching my side. "Alright you got me. But..." I looked up and stared right into his eyes. "You should check yourself."

He looked down and saw a huge cut on his side that he quickly realized wasn't healing and I took this opportunity to rush him and drive the blade straight into his heart but he was quick enough to plunge his into mine as well.

"AHHHH!!" We both screamed I felt his blade dissipated and we fell to the ground and I was using my sword as support.

"Ha... *Cough*"  I coughed up blood. "Gotcha."

"You may have. But I got you too." He said gesturing to the hole in my chest.

"Maybe. But you'll die before me." I said smirking.

"What makes you so su AHHHHHHHH!!!!" I started to push the blade in deeper.

"That's what makes me sure." I said laughing as I felt the strength leak from my body. The vampire then burned up with the agony still on his face and he turned to ash. "I win." I smiled and fell over. "Man is this what dying feels like. This sucks." I closed my eyes and everything went black.

Seras P.O.V.

"So this is where you heard it?" My master asked.

"Yes master. I'm sure of it." I began looking around for any signs of life at all when I smelled fresh blood. I looked to where I smelled it coming from and I saw a guy with an unusually large sword laying on the ground bleeding out but he was still breathing. "Master look."

"Hmm." My master turned his head to where I was pointing. "Well look at that. A bleeding man. Or dinner depending on how you look at it." He said.

"He's still alive." I said defensively.

"So. I've eaten plenty of people when they were alive. Politicians, Kings, Queens, militia men. The list goes on and on. What's the difference here. Eat him and leave. No harm no foul." He said shrugging.

"Exactly. No harm. He hasn't done anything to you. Or me. So why kill him?" I asked.

"Then what are we going to do hmm. Make him a fucking get well soon card; or maybe send him flowers. Oh wait I know maybe we could... JUST FUCKING EAT HIM!!"

"NO!!" I screamed. I immediately cupped my hands over my mouth.

"Well look at you Mrs. Too big for her sports bra. Getting feisty now are we?"

"I'm sorry master." I said quickly.

"For what?"

"I yelled at you." I said confused.

"Please dear. I've been called, seen, and heard worse. Plus when you yell it reminds me of a kitten trying to attack a lion. That shit actually happens. Once the kitten won. That lion had no idea what hit him. One minute it was batting the cat away and the next the cat was in his eyeball. It was glorious."

While my master was talking I walked over to the incapacitated man. He had pretty hair. It was long and deep red. Also he wasn't as muscly as you'd expect someone to be that has a sword that size he was actually kinda thin. But you could tell he was strong. I then looked to his chest and saw that he had a hole right where his heart was. I looked down further to see a gash on his side.

"POLICE GIRL!!"

"Ahhh yes master." He pulled me from my trance I was in at the sight of all the blood.

"What are you going to do?" He asked me rather seriously, which was uncharacteristic of him.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You have 3 options. Leave him. Eat him. Or... turn him." He hesitated a little when he said the last one. 

"Well I don't want him to suffer. But he might not want to be a vampire. He also hasn't done anything to hurt me so eating him is off the table."

"Then what are you going to do?" He asked again.

I looked back to the man who was obviously in pain but was knocked out from how much blood he was losing. I looked to my wrist and back at him.

I extended my fangs and drained him completely. Then I bit my wrist to draw my blood and put it to his lips to let the blood go down his throat.

"Is this really what you want to do?" He asked again.

"I don't know." I said honestly. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see my master there looking down at me and him.

"Let's get you and him back to the mansion. You're going to be tired and feel like you're dying in about... Now."

I felt my chest throb like it had when I'd gotten shot all those years ago by my master. I felt my strength leave my body and I fell over.

"Master... What's happening?" I asked kind of frightened.

He leaned down and put his hand on my head.  He then spoke in his original deep Romanian accent.

"Worry not little one. Everything will be fine. Rest now. Regain your strength."

I did exactly as he said and closed my eyes and went to sleep.
