The Monster Tamer

Chapter 27: Fighting a Vampire (2)

'Beheading a vampire is one of the better ways to kill them.' I remember Stephen's words. 'They have regenerative abilities as well, and so you need to deal a lot of damage to kill one. But I suggest to behead them in one fell swoop to kill them swiftly.'

I swung my sword and was about to hit the vampires neck when he came out of his frenzied state and looked up at me. His eyes were bloodshot while looking at me and was surprised to see me coming for him.

With a swift motion, the vampire leaped out of the way and was able to evade my attack.

"That was close." The vampire said. "You are a feisty one, little kitten." He smirked.

I did not loose my momentum and rushed towards the vampire with the courage that I have mustered. If there is a chance to kill him, then this is the time while he was caught off guard. I swung my sword swiftly, aiming to cut off his neck.

The vampire was on the defense. He had a shocked expression on his face while evading my every attack. To my surprise, I was able to match his speed. I did not ponder in the thought for long and just focused on my attacks.

"What the…?!" The vampire said while evading my every attack. "How can a human match a vampire's speed. Wait, are you one of those enhanced humans I have heard about?" His words caught my attention.

"What do you mean enhanced humans?" I asked while still attacking.

"You do not know? Aren't you one of them?" The vampire had an angry face. "You humans delved into the occult and opened the gates of hell just to gain power. When that backfired on you, you experimented on us supernatural beings and your own species as well. Your species gained the power we supernatural beings have. And now that daemons run rampant on the face of the earth, you use those enhanced humans to fight against us."

I gained some information from what the vampire was saying. I would like to squeeze some more information from him but his started fighting back.

"Hoe dare you humans play God!" The vampire said with anger and started attacking me swiftly with his sharpened nails. "We may look like monsters, but we tried to co-exist with you humans thru the millennia. But what you did while opening the gates of hell was selfish of you. Now that the daemons came out and run rampant, we all have to fight to survive."

The vampires words were full of anger. I cannot believe that vampires can feel emotions as well. It feels like they also have a heart.

"You are not worth giving to our mistress." The vampire said. "I will kill you here and now!"

The vampires attacks became more aggressive. I was pushed to be in defense. His sharp nails were landing at times when I was not able to block his attacks and blood started to gush out. I then realized that every time I bleed, I can see his irises get bigger but he snaps out of it and persists in attacking me.

'Does my blood make him go in a frenzy?' I remember what happened a while ago when I was a the top of the tree. 'This can give me a fraction of a second.' I thought.

I placed my blade on my arm and cut deep until blood gushed out. The vampire stopped on his tracks after seeing me bleed. I am sure he was smelling what he just said 'my sweet blood'. He rushed towards me with only focusing on my bleeding arm. I did not waste any time and meet him head on. With a swift movement, I swung my sword and slashed his neck without any second thought.

The vampire's head rolled down the ground and his body fell with a thud. I was panting hard after battling a vampire.

"H-How…" The vampires head was still able to talk. The body started to turn into ashes slowly. "You blade… it is a sacred one blessed by the gods. I cannot believe that… I will be killed by a human. Haha."

After his parting words, his head started to crumble until it became ashes. My body lost strength after feeling safe and relieved. My legs gave in and I fell on the ground shaking.

"I did it." I said. "I cannot believe I killed a vampire."

I was just feeling relief when I heard rustling at the bushes. I then saw the other vampire coming out with shocked eyes.

"How dare you?!!" The vampire shouted. "You killed my comrade! You are going to pay with your life!"

I was surprised to see the other vampire that my mind blanked out. The next second I saw the vampire rushing towards me in haste with only one thing in mind, and that is to kill me. I quickly pulled my gun out, thinking that this was a an emergency situation that I would need to use it. I would think about the consequences later after I come out of this alive.

When I was about to pull the trigger I saw a white blur jump out of the trees and hit the oncoming vampire. From out of nowhere, I saw a gigantic white wolf pressing down the vampire on the ground. It must be at least eight to ten feet in height. I can hear it snarling on the vampire from where I was sitting.

"Werewolf!" The vampire screamed in rage. "How dare you trespass in our territory?!"

The big white wolf did not let the vampire talk anymore and started to bite him off with its huge jaws and razor sharp teeth. I can hear the vampire scream in pain until it became silent.

After it was through with the vampire, the white wolf looked at me. Its red eyes were boring into me intensely. I gripped my gun but I became entranced with his red eyes that I was mesmerized. I was deep in amazement until I realized that the big wolfed shifted into a man.

The man was completely naked and walked towards me. He had a well built body with chiseled muscles at every inch. He had platinum blonde hair and his red eyes were like gems. I was in awe when I realized that he was walking towards me with huge steps. My body started to become hot for some reason and my heart was thumping hard inside my chest. When he got near, he knelt in one knee an looked at me straight in the eyes.

"I found you at last, my mate." The man said. I was at a loss of what he meant.
