The last days of a Vampire Hunter

Chapter two

Angelus was the leader of the vampire clan in the u.s. he was tall and huge and his retractable claws and fangs were longer than a normal vampire’s. He had the harlot vamps on his sides massaging him and trying their best to impress him but he was not interested them at the moment. His mind was in what lay in front him. the stacked up bodies of juvenile vamps. Amongst them was the blown open head of his nephew, Trecor. He stared at the bodies in silence for like a minute or two before speaking up.

‘who did this’ he asked in his low and coarse voice.

His female colonel spoke up ‘we are not exactly sure sir but we think it was done by human. Our human intel told us the man is kinda old coz he has grey hair and beard and a somewhat wrinkled face. This description corresponds to the same suspect involved in the garage incident.

Angelus kept mute. Then he spoke up. ‘restrain all vampires from leaving their houses’. No more partying, no more gaming, no more vacations, no more lazying about.

Ok sir’ the colonel replied.

Tell my boys to assemble we are going to hunt down that asshole.

Meanwhile

Pitman was very excited after that meeting. He had never come up with this kind of idea of wiping away this whole menace. This idea was just a more easier approach. He had always thought of doing this his crazy manually but as they always say ‘science is magic’. Science had just proved its prowess once more. Now all he had to do was to approach them in one of their crazy parties, release the gas and watch all of them slowly burn to death. He was glad that his dreams would be finally actualized. He picked up a small framed family picture, and gazed at it as tears tears flowed down unrestricted. He was going to make them proud.

In his younger days, Jacob Pitman was a very handsome man. What contributed to this was his well built body and his tall stature. While in college the ladies craved for him and as expected he showed a lot of interest in that direction. He was like this until a new joined them in their final year. Her name was Jorja Fineseed. She was also hot and within no time started receiving a lot of attention from everyone even the male teachers. This got the females teachers jealous and they developed an understandable hatred for her. But unlike Pitman, she did not reciprocate this attention, she was like more concerned in her studies. Pitman expected her to come flocking around him but unfortunately she didn’t. It was on their graduation day that they first spoke. Pitman had felt it would be stupid enough if he did not talk to her on this last day of College.

So he, full of courage approached her and spoke to her. And that was it. They later agreed to meet in a regular restaurant and that was how their dating began. While Pitman joined the u.s army, Fineseed got a job with the real estate agency in town. Then they got married and moved in. as flawless as they may sound it was not so. This was because Pitman was being assigned to different places outside New York. He was even among the troops assigned to Afghanistan. He was there until the troops were withdrawn. So in this way Pitman did not have much time to spend with his family which he often regretted. His three children of two girls and a boy often longed to see him.

So when on the celebration of his promotion, he was given the letter to come home, he knew it was a necessity and all necessary things must be done. So two days after this news, he resigned from duty. His General was quite surprised because he knew that Pitman was among the best soldiers the u.s has. But he did not have a choice than to grant him this request. So now having been granted permission to be excused from the US Army he set off to enjoy the vacation with his family not knowing it would be one of the worst events of his live, an event that would change his life forever.

..........................................................................

Meanwhile Angelus was arranging his boys, getting ready for attack. He was still kitting up when Deborah came in and started romancing him. He knew it was not the time for this, so he simply shrugged her off and whispered to her,

This is not the time for this,

She quickly understood and left him to be. Angelus left setting off with about twenty five of his boys in a bid to get to the man responsible for the elimination of his young clansmen.

They were able to track him down to his apartment that night little did they know that he was prepared for the worse and of course knew what was coming. When Pitman noticed the queer movements of some people in his neighbourhood he knew it was the vamps and as expected escaped through a little trap door in his apartment.

After series of monitoring an inspection, Angelus and his boys stormed inside the apartment but were shocked to find no one there. They were disappointed at this development and they went home sadly.

------------------------------

Adrian was the only trusted friend pitman had. He always ran to him in times of trouble and Adrian never minded helping him, after all Pitman was just like savior to him. One who came when he needed him most. It was in this kind of situation that Pitman needed Adrian. He took a cab down to Adrian's house and knocked.Adrian's wife answered,

who is at the door,

A friend of your husband's, he replied.

Honey are you expecting anyone tonight, She asked Adrian.

Not really, Adrian answered, but let me get it.

Adrian approached the door and peeped through the door hole and saw Pitman. He knew at an instant that there was a problem some where and he did not hesitate to open the door.

When Pitman was in, he locked the door behind him, and called out,

Honey one of my employees is passing the night with us,

I thought you said you were not expecting anyone, she replied in askance.

This one just escaped my memory he answered.

Have a seat buddy, he told Pitman.

Pitman sat down on the couch and began admiring the house. It was not the first he came to his house but this time around was different because today, he took his time to admire the house. From the exterior look one would know that the house cost millions of dollars. Then the interior was far more captivating than the exterior. The couches were covered with high quality Italian leather, the chandeliers were gold rimmed, the rest of the furniture, he knew for sure that they would cost a very pretty sum.

Come have dinner with us, Abigail, Adrian's wife called out to him thereby disrupting his imagination and admiration.

Dinner was served with some expensive food items he knew he could not purchase on his own. Even the cutlery an the dishes were all of expensive chinaware. The Adrians had all these expensive resources but what they lacked was a child. After eight years of marriage the Adrians failed to bring forth a child. Abigail was really disturbed about this but she had the support of her husband who didn't feel the bothered about this. Although Pitman knew he was really disturbed. Whenever they met with some of Adrian's business associates and they came along with their children and asked Adrian of his, he always felt embarrassed. Most the time in situations like this Pitman would cover up for him by trying to change the topic in one way or the other.

So where do you live, Abigail asked him thereby shattering his thoughts once again.

I live at the Fleetwood street downtown, no: seven. Don't worry it is a low class area.

Abigail immediately understood, knowing that Pitman was not privileged like her.

Pitman had barely eaten when he told Adrian,

Adrian can we talk?

Adrian looked up he knew what it was all about but he didn't want to get suspicions from his wife so he pretended as if he didn't know and said ,

you can say it here, trying to pass a message with his eyes.

No it's important and some how confidential, Pitman replied and also urgent.

Adrian had no other choice than to oblige him.

Excuse me honey, he asked his wife.

Abigail completely clueless, permitted them to go ahead.

Then they went to a faroff corner and Pitman man opened up,

The vamps were on me tonight, they stormed my apartment.

How did they know your whereabouts, Adrian asked surprised of the situation.

I don't know he replied, but remember they can smell blood and even track people down with just the scent of their blood.

You are obviously passing the night here right? Adrian asked.

Sure, but what about that your scientist and his invention?

He is still on it, Adrian answered.

Tell him to be fast about it, the earlier the better.

I will, Adrian answered.

My wife is getting a room ready for you just give her five minutes.
