Entry 11

Eliza looked to me concerned, but took a deep breath and approached the machine, she began to get strapped in and I could almost hear her heart beating through her chest. Eliza was completely immobile and Brandon began talking,
"I am sorry Eliza but this has to happen if we are to defeat the vampire's and the Vatican" Eliza just nodded, Brandon began to recite what sounded like Latin and his hands where rubbing together, Eliza began to scream I could only look on, the temptation to stop him was clouding my mind,
Brandon's dark art is Blood manipulation he is heating her blood up which is causing extreme pain hopefully awakening the power within her Brandon is a master of his craft once he thinks she has reached her limit he will stop.
I turned to Brandon and said, "enough she is in to much pain.."as I shouted this Eliza let out a deafening screech and her whole body seemed to tense up, her eyes where pure white her hair was like it was submerged in water, Brandon had stopped his expression was that of amazement, he turned to me and said,
"Regnum it would appear we have found our first magic user, once a person awakens their power they will be able to wield it like they have known it all along, it is like learning to walk or talk, you seem to tick a box once learnt you never forget".
I scurried to Eliza who was panting and sweating in the machine I asked concerned "are... are you alright," she turned to me and between deep breaths said "I.. feel born again", Brandon interrupted, "Now then, Regnum", he gestured toward the machine and raised his brow, I took Eliza in my arms and looked at her and asked if she was definitely okay, she replied "excuses Regnum just get in the machine we have work to do", I smiled at her, and then took it upon myself to enter the machine. Brandon wasted no time and clasped his hands together, I tensed up and the pain was unbearable my veins felt ready to burst open and cover us in a crimson mist, then suddenly I felt calm, I was relaxed and in a dream like state, I looked to Brandon and asked, "I thought this was suppose to hurt..." he was just staring at me as was Eliza, I was confused and curious then I looked down to my chest and there was three runic symbols burned into my skin. Brandon quickly said "This is not possible... it really can't be"

"Brandon.. tell me what has happened, or so help me god I will strike you down where you stand" I replied with some intent. Before he could answer me we suddenly heard cries and screams, Brandon rushed to see what the commotion was, he shouted "Vampires... here but how, Eliza create a barrier", Eliza looked puzzled and said "How" Brandon replied, "What ever form of liquid you touch will become blessed there is a vial of water on the table use that!" Eliza put her hand in the water and it began to glow a brilliant white, "Now throw it toward the door" Brandon said quickly, Eliza grabbed the vial and did as he said, the water became crystallized and was contorting to match the shape of the door, just then, a vampire stood in the doorway gazing at us and howled bearing its fangs fresh with the blood of humans.

"So... are you going to tell me why I have three runic symbols in my chest" I asked Brandon, to which he replied, "oh yes about that......"

Entry 10

When we entered the room our eyes had been deceived the area we was standing in was large in scale there was various tests and experiments taking place, potions bubbling smoke rising and the clatter of equipment being used,
"There will be plenty of time to look at our work but first come with me," Brandon said as he escorted us to a private office area, we walked in, there was books and manuscripts neatly arranged I noticed a very detailed drawing of the human anatomy, he asked us to sit down and offered us a drink, to which me and Eliza both said yes, Brandon sat at his desk and placed his glass of brandy down taking a sip then saying,
"The Vatican has been in league with the vampires for many years and now I will tell you both what you are so eagerly awaiting to hear, I am aware that you both have experienced how the vampires have begun to manipulate the elements, this has been what the Vatican has been keeping from the hunters, you see there is not only vampires and humans on this earth, there is also dark arts and magic residing in people that needs certain.... shall we say conditions to awaken, it is usually brought on my heightened emotions or traumatic experiences, the reason why vampires can wield the powers is because of a relic that the Vatican have kept secret for over 2000 years, this relic when touched can awaken the powers instantly but the relics power is to much for any human to withstand, the Gorey details need not be mentioned but it will end a humans life, are you both still with me?" he questioned,
"Yes because vampires are already dead the relic is powerless to stop them, the Vatican has always been impatient and this is reason enough to side with the vampire hordes, but why are the vampires hunting far more aggressively, I replied.
"The answer is simple, the Vatican is waging war on the world with a vampire army but they need human vessels to swell there ranks, The Vatican want to purge this earth of everyone and everything. they think that god didn't create the filth and mess that humans dwell in and believe that vampires are a gift from god, to start the earth anew, so Eliza, Regnum we have a experimental method of awakening your dark art or magic," Eliza interrupts,
"what is the difference?"
"Dark arts are just that, manipulating the dead. plague control, making people go insane manipulating the elements to your will this is why every vampire awakens dark arts because they are the embodiment of death and decay, where as magic is more pure and can effectively be used to heal wounds blind enemies in flashes of white light, there is no known person who has awoken the magic within them as there is no way we can anticipate what powers you awaken inside you until we at least try my method, I must warn you it will not be pleasant but it is necessary if we are to stand a chance against the vampires and the Vatican.
"Okay Brandon I am willing to try, the vampires are getting far to strong we have just been lucky in our encounters with them, one or two we can give them the final death, but anymore I feel we will struggle," Eliza agrees with me and Brandon takes us out of his office and we ascend a spiral staircase to a room with a contraption where I assume we will be getting strapped in I turn to Eliza and then look and Brandon and say,
"Well then lets get this over with"

Entry 9

In the church gardens, what greeted us was sea of broken gravestones, and a stone path leading to the church doors, we cautiously approached the doors opening them seemed to breathe life into the place, the wind whistled through the piles of rubble and dust, the pews in the long hallway had been long forgotten rotting and damp. We walked down the aisle and stood before an alter, the alter had not fell victim to the surrounding area, it still stood tall and proud, it was as if god protected it. Eliza noticed a symbol drawn in chalk on the alter, it looked runic in lettering, and it was written on the right hand side of the alter.

"What does this mean, it must have been written recently" I said as I blew excess chalk of the alter.
"Eliza was rustling around the alter then we heard a click and the alter began the shift away from us revealing a stone staircase into the depths of the earth.
Eliza look enthralled and said to me,
"This is rather exciting shall we descend?",
"Yes but first we need a light source who knows what we will stumble across in the dark" I said as I looked around Eliza just looked at me and I knew what she wanted, I passed her the sack, and she pulled out a small gem which she then rubbed against her leg, the gem suddenly shone brightly, I just said to Eliza, 
"I won't even enquire as to why that happens lets go". We descended the stone stairs and at the bottom of the stairs we heard scurrying rats scattering, if there was anybody down here they have learnt to live within the darkness of the church, we walk down the pathway weapons in hand, in the flickering light we seen a figure at the end of the path we both stopped and as Eliza aimed her crossbow I said,
"State your name or my partner here will shoot you between the eyes even in this light she will not miss"  then the person answered, 
"I mean you no harm I am the one who sent you the note please lower your weapon Miss Eliza,"
"How do you know who I am speak sir" Eliza hastily replied,
"I can explain everything if you just follow me", the figure stepped closer we could now see this man, tall and slender very well dressed for such a dirty dusty place, he had a well kept beard and short hair his presence was calming.
"Please follow me" he asked, I looked to Eliza and nodded she lowered her crossbow and we reluctantly followed the man, as we walked he started talking.
"My name is Brandon Godfry, I have been watching you both for a very long time I was at the Vatican for a number of years but, lets say my methods of vampire slaying are somewhat unorthodox, he paused
"I am intrigued" Eliza promptly said,
"Where was I, oh yes I was removed from the ranks of the Vatican slayers,  around five years ago and since then I have been using spies to keep, an eye on the Vatican filth. You see the intelligence my group have gathered puts the Vatican in a very compromising situation, they are in league with vampires all for power and wealth this ungodly act must be punished, there is something the Vatican has been keeping from its hunters and it will open your eyes to everything" he stopped talking we reached a iron door which was sturdy and seemed impenetrable a stark contrast to the ruins above. Brandon pulled out a decorative crucifix and place it in a groove in the door, the door clicked and as Brandon pushed it open he said,
"Eliza, Regnum welcome to Pessum Dare Lamia"

Entry 8

"Well Regnum what is in there" as she said this I began pulling out clothes for both of us fresh bread and water and finally there was a map of London, there was a church circled in the same colour ink as the note that accompanied the bag, before I could show Eliza she said,
"Regnum listen to me, what happened in the mansion was no mistake I have always wanted you but let me explain why vampire blood makes me seem like a different person, vampires are like wild beasts when craving human blood, they become feral and animistic, this is even more apparent now that the human populous is dying due to disease and old age. I don't know when it began but vampire blood has a similar effect on me. and already lusting for you I really could not control my urges."
"I am sure there is a explanation for this we just have to find it, and I have always wanted you and I could not stop myself, I think it is safe to say we shall be companions for a very long time and I now I don't think we can trust the Vatican not until we find out who sent this bag, we have to find them Eliza look at this" I showed Eliza the map and pointed to the church,
"We have to go here" I looked to Eliza and she smiled at me and said
"Teacher and pupil relationships, it is a good thing we will not be contacting the Vatican, I know where this Church is it has been abandoned for years and it lays in ruin."
"A good indication of a secret society if ever I saw one lets leave with the haste." I hurriedly said

We ate the bread and drank every last drop of water not even thinking it maybe poisoned we needed the energy, as we was about to leave Eliza asked me.

"Why was I not informed you had a brother?" I sat on the bed and replied,
"I didn't think it was important, he was in the ground dead, the maggots feasting on his corpse but it was all planned it was a ruse me and my brother's history is not important, what is important is why he is a vampire and also he seems to be a coven leader, he showed more skill than me at hunting and this gives me a sickly feeling deep down in my gut, I can guarantee we will be seeing him again."
"Okay Regnum I accept that as an answer and heading to this church we may cross paths with him sooner than we think", Eliza threw the sack of artifacts to me and and continued talking,
"Well shall we go" I got up and headed toward the door opening it saying,
"Ladies first"

We walked away from the shack and headed to the church located in the map, we walked for a few hours the welcoming busy streets of London where an indication that the vampire's had not pillaged this city for everything it had we still had time, I could see a church in the distance and I knew this was the one from the map we briskly walked up to the abandoned church and found a broken wall to climb over. What awaited us here was it a trap or was it our salvation.

Entry 7

"Elric" I shouted as I tried to fix my clothing Eliza look puzzled..
"Regnum it has been too long" he said calmly
"I was at your funeral what madness is this..." my voice was quivering
"You see brother I have been a bad bad man, for I have joined the next step in evolution I command armies of undead and can eradicate entire cities with my power", his voice was maddening.
"Your a vampire no Elric what have you done...",
"Brother brother now come on don't be like that join me...."he said opening his arms. All I could do was stare at him and at what he had become, Eliza decided she had heard enough.
"I don't care who you are your all scum of the earth to me" she screamed and ran toward Elric, Eliza was skilled possibly the best hunter I have ever had the pleasure of meeting but Elric was just avoiding all attacks maybe she was weakened from what had just happened between us.
"My my your a feisty one Regnum she may make a man of you yet" he exclaimed,
"BROTHER" I shouted as I leaped toward him, now myself and Eliza where both  attacking him we where fatigued and Elric knew this he was toying with us, he jumped to the upper floor balcony looking down on us he said.

"Well this has been enlightening but I enjoy being challenged and for now I am disappointed in you Regnum, I was told that you are a legendary hunter but all I see is a horny boy in a mans body goodbye for now dear brother" and with that he vanished out of sight.

"ELRIC, ... why" I shouted
Eliza put her hand on my shoulder and said.
"Regnum we need to leave now, we can discuss what has happened in safer surrounding."

We left the mansion but first we grabbed the sack of artifacts and slowly walked away we needed to find somewhere to rest as we are both weak and if we get attacked I am unsure will survive to see the sunrise in a few hours.


We walked silent but Eliza broke this by saying, "Regnum there", pointing to a small woodcutters shed that had obviously been abandoned, we entered with caution and surveyed what was in there, it smelt of damp wood and old smoke, there was a bed small in size but that did not matter the fireplace was well used but still functional, I grabbed what scraps of wood there was and tried to create a spark to light the fire, Eliza interrupted me and grabbed something from the sack, I was expecting something unusual but she pulled out lighter and said,

"Well, you never know when one of these will be helpful", I smiled as she got the fire burning, sitting on the hard bed my eyes where shutting and my limbs where relaxed Eliza lay on the bed and rested her head in my lap saying,
"We can talk about what happened in the mansion at first light we..." she looked up at me and I was already asleep.

I awoke to rustling from outside the shack, Eliza had already taken position behind the door crossbow in hand. I crouched and met her, I quickly opened the door but all that greeted me was a bag with a note on top. I grabbed the bag and quickly looked around nobody was in sight, bringing the bag in I read the note,


I know who you both and what you are trying to do our brotherhood is at your service, don't trust the Vatican they are allied with the vampire hordes, you are the only people who can end this.

Entry 6

Leaving the sack in the garden we slowly walked toward the Mansion, our eyes darting in every direction, Eliza tapped my shoulder and pointed to the main entrance, there was two men standing guard. I turned and shook my head at Eliza I grabbed her hand and we walked to the left side of the mansion where Eliza had dispatched a vampire, I knew the crossbow bolt was not as powerful as her bullets she must only use the derringer if a vampire gets to close, the dead vampire had not started to decompose, which may work in our favour.

"There" Eliza whispered as she noticed a side door with only one guard, this was alarming to us the vampire's have never been this cautious or well behaved someone or something must have domain over this dwelling, someone of importance. Eliza readied her crossbow, but I put my hand on it and lowered it,
"My turn" I said confidently,
I crept moving closer toward the mansion, I pressed myself against the wall and edged toward the guarded door the liquid we drank was working the vampire would of picked up my scent by now, I took out my dagger and slid in front of the vampire the blade sweeping across its neck exposing the thick blood, spin throwing the dagger to my other hand the moonlight reflected the vampires eyes as I grabbed it and moved backward thrusting my blade into the heart of the vampire, as I pulled the blade out the vampire slumped to the cold floor and remained motionless. I was concerned the vampires had not died the usual way, there must be an explanation.

"Well Regnum I see your having fun" Eliza said as she met me at the door,
"Why yes my lady this liquid concoction of yours is truly delightful" I replied,
"How is my dancing Eliza?" I questioned,
"Full of flamboyance and grace" she said said smiling beneath the mask I knew she was smiling as her cheekbones raised.

The door was open and we entered the building, we was in a bleak hallway the smell of rotten flesh filled our nostrils, this was only masked a little thanks to the smell emitting from our pours, we walked down the hallway eventually hearing somebody talk, we stopped and heard footsteps it appeared someone was walking toward out location, we leaned against the cold wall facing each other then turned to look down the dark hallway, there was two vampires heading down the corridor Eliza readied her crossbow, I had my dagger firmly grasp in my hand, I nodded to Eliza and began running down the hall Eliza stood behind me her crossbow aiming down the corridor, I grabbed my second dagger from is sheath and heard Eliza had released the trigger of her crossbow, I slide to my knees, a dagger in each hand the vampires had been alerted to our presence they tried to approach Eliza but one vampire was met with a crossbow bolt to the the  cranium its head violently shot back, I sliced the shin of the vampire and used my other hand to do the same to the second vampire the vampires then fell to the ground with a crash I raised both hands and thrusted my daggers into the hearts of the vampires, Blood erupted and sprayed the corridor crimson, why did the demise of these differ from the two previous kills, then it dawned on me new born vampires don't die the same as fully formed vampires, the vampire clans use these as decoy's to make people think they are just mere humans.

I looked to Eliza and explained this and it was clear that we had found a vampire breeding plant. There was no time to waste it was apparent that the now disgusting pile of vampires we had just left had alerted the remaining brood, we heard a voice shouting,
"DOWNSTAIRS now all of you there is no fresher blood to taste than that of humans it is intoxication don't you crave the sweet nectar, taste it smell it now get going!"

My mind was racing for I recognised the voice but before I could dwell on it more, my body started to ache had it been an hour already... I looked to Eliza she was facing away I seen the torn bit of fabric she had used on the floor it was obvious what was going to happen. My gut was in knots my eyes where bulging and I could feel the vomit racing through my body the pain was excruciating I don't know how Eliza kept her demure, I was shaking as I exhaled the vomit, it splashed on the wall mixing with the blood of the dead vampires. I tensed up one more time and took as deep a breathe as I could, in the corner of my eye I could see a figure rushing towards me, I turned my head and vomited a second and final time on the floor in front of me, the figure suddenly was off balance it must of stepped in my pool of vomit and fell to the ground, I seen Eliza rushing past me, her expression had intent, she had a crossbow bolt in her hand, she threw herself on top of the figure and raised her hand her gripped tightened as she thrust the bolt into the heart. of the victim, she shouted to me,

"Crossbow now", I scurried to grab it and threw it towards her, she was turning toward me as she stood up, catching the crossbow, then quickly she loaded the bolt that was protruding from the dead vampire, she spun round and took aim there was at least 3 more vampires rushing towards us, but Eliza did not hesitate, she released the trigger and in a dance of death she began to massacre the vampires, the shot hit one directly in the heart, she rolled forward the lesser vampires seem to be one move behind, she grabbed the corpse and lay on her back the vampire blood staining what was left of her, dress, as the two lesser vampires leaped for her they only managed to gnaw and rip and the corpse of their fallen comrade, Eliza slid away from what was now a shredded body standing up she looked directly and the vampires who both turned there heads towards her, she just smiled and said,

"The wretched corpses you possess hold nothing but death and decay, my name is Eliza Cromwell and I have been sent from the blood of this world to destroy all those who wish to taint it."

The vampires stood up and before they could say anything, Eliza had already decided their fate, swiftly moving in between the two vampires she raised both arms and extended her arms straight and the vampires heads jolted then a fountain of blood spurted from them, Eliza had more tricks up her sleeves literally two hidden blades coated in her favourite recipe from headquarters, she walked toward me biting her lower lip and wiping her blades on her exposed legs the vampires behind her still twitching from the kill, her dress was sticking to her firm body the blood had soaked it, I could see her erect nipples through the blood soaked dress the blood was like an aphrodisiac a trigger, I began talking to her,
"Eliza you di..." I couldn't finish, she began to kiss me, her breathing was heavy her body smelled of blood, she grabbed my hand and pushed it up against her inner thigh the skin was sticky with sweat and blood I squeezed her leg, she let out a small sound and threw me to the ground,  her dress was already torn and falling apart, she mounted me and began to remove my buttons from my trousers the blood and sweat was mixing and it was giving us this intoxicating feeling we both felt, I sat up and nestled my face in between her breasts the taste of blood and sweat was only filling me with more desire my blood was pumping my penis was erect she removed it from my under garments and caressed it with her hand, she raised her body slightly, and slid her underwear to one side, placing my member inside her I lay on my back again and she leaned forward her fingers in my mouth she was pushing down as hard as she could even the fatigue of killing did not phase her from this feeling, she began pushing harder and faster you could hear the sticky blood covering our bodies intensify to a slapping sound I grabbed her bottom and forcefully made her thrust on top of me, we was approaching climax her eyes where wide her breathing was short as was mine, my hands where firmly grasping her bottom I was moving her body aggressively and she was receptive of this she was no longer sitting up she lay on me our bodies interlocked in a state of passion our hearts beating rapidly and within that moment we both knew this was the moment we would climax, our bodies stopped moving our minds racing, Eliza looked at me and I could see in her eyes that this moment of passion would not be our last. We both heard clapping then a voice said,

"So sorry to interrupt this moment dear brother but I have alot of dead employees, and there is two of you I am just going to have to cut you up into tiny pieces as retribution"

Entry 5

I made my way to the stinking pile of vampire remains, the smell made me gag and Eliza started laughing and said,
"Why Regnum do you need a bucket?" I replied, "No that will not be necessary but it pains me to say this we will have to burn this place down" 
Eliza knew that this had to happen and she realised that there was no time for fond goodbyes, scooping the remains into a wooden box and then sealing it shut. We burned the wooden box, and the fire engulfed the place Eliza called home, we could not leave any trace of what occurred here for it would bring us attention and that is the last thing we need a house fire could be easily explained if the situation called for it we hoped. We gabbed an empty sack from one of the shelves and filled it with whatever curious items we could throw in before leaving the place and the horrors that unfolded there behind.

"So Regnum where to?" Eliza asked, "Now Eliza don't be so impatient, you will find out when we get there?" I retorted. We walked the streets of London for several hours heading toward a secluded mansion which I know is rife with vampire activity, I could smell them in the air, I could taste the blood on my lips. I startled Eliza by asking her to crouch down and keep quiet, for in the distance I could hear talking and movement. The voices seemed deep and manic, we slowly approached the mansion trying to edge ever closer, we waited for what seemed like a eternity then suddenly we heard a scream then silence. I looked to where the scream came from and it was on the balcony of the first floor, I could see what we now know is a vampire just finishing its quarry, I heard Eliza load her crossbow and then shoot. The bolt was swift and silent, travelling through the nights sky, it hit the vampire in the chest right where the heart is and the vampire dropped out of sight instantly.
"Even though that was a very impressive shot it looks like we have no chpice but to clear out this mansion now Eliza thanks to your hasty judgement" she confidently replied by saying, "This is why you want me by your side is it not?, my aim is true and my thirst to kill vampires is never quenched"
"You do have a point there my lady, lets try not bring our presence to the vampires" Eliza quickly replied,
"I can see to that", she rummaged in the sack of antiques we managed to salvage from her home, eventually pulling out a small bottle filled with an unfamiliar liquid.
"Just what have you found there Eliza" I asked,
"This is what will help us remain undetected, but I must warn you it is unpleasant for the duration it is flowing through our bodies."
"Well this sounds like fun my lady do explain" I asked her curiously
"Okay but I did warn you, this is made from vampire sweat, saliva and.......semen, once you consume it, you will start producing a putrid smell from every pore and the result makes vampires unable to sniff out humans, we will smell like one of them for exactly one hour, then our bodies will violently throw up until every drop is out of our system, are you ready you only need one mouthful."
I take the bottle from her and drink then Eliza does the same, I immediately hold my throat and try not to bring it back up the taste is foul and the smell is instantly noticeable, I then hear tearing, Eliza had  ripped part of her dress and began to tie it around her mouth she then hands me a piece and I do the same,
My body has stopped rejecting the fluid and I turn to Eliza and say,

"Well my lady shall we dance" she looks at me and says
"Only if you are good enough to lead"

Entry 4

Eliza dragged me to the back room where she lay me down and began searching for things to close my wound, eventually she found rags, a bottle of whiskey and a needle and thread.

"I think you know what is about to happen Regnum," she asked and I replied, "Yes my lady just get on with it will you, if you want me to clean up the pile of dead vampire mess before I am rotting in a pile of dirt myself".

She smirked and began tending to my wound, her touch was soft and gentle, her beauty is captivating, the hours of training I endured with her seemed a fair trade off to gaze upon Eliza any chance I got. Eliza has been a hunter since the tender age of 13, she has shown no remorse or guilt killing the vampire swarms and it seems she rather enjoys it.

I bite my lip as she splashes the whiskey onto my arm I flinch and Eliza rubs my hand to soothe me, it works. She begins to talk in an attempt to distract me, "Where do we go from here Regnum, we have to find out how the vampire found my home and put a end to this massacre of humans and hunters alike," she said concerned, I answered her abruptly "I want you by my side at all times Eliza, I am fully aware of your skills as a marksmen and my abilities are best exploited up close and personal with the vial creatures, well what do you say is my trainer to become my partner?" she stood up replied, "the vampires are stronger, smarter, quicker and more deadly than ever, so two vampire hunters is better than one" as she said this she walked over to the far wall and grabbed a weapon it looked like a crossbow, a very plain looking design, it looked well used and the only thing that stood out was the glistening silver bolts, which where made the same way as the bullets she used on the dead vampire. She spun 180 degrees and aimed the crossbow at the table I was laying on pulling the trigger, I watched the bolt travel toward me and it whistled past my head landing between my legs inches away from my crotch.

"So Regnum now your arm is no longer my concern, are you going to clean up that mess in my hallway or am I going to have to place my aim a little higher? I rolled off the table and stood up straight then said, "but of course my lady I would be delighted".

Entry 3

I shouted to Eliza "Stay back!"

As I said this I felt the air around me turn into a mist, the vampire was just laughing hysterically, it must have bewitched the dust left from the now obsolete door,
"HEY, catch" the vampire shouted
The mist had obscured my vision, and then through the mist I could see the horrified expression of the woman's head hurtling toward me I managed to duck but not without the warm crimson blood treacling down my hair, neck and face, I could smell the death and decay and it was distracting me from my target.

The vampire made its move, the speed was lightning quick the mist was lifted for a split second and I could see the vampire come at me with grace and speed it raised its hand, fingernails like claws and then swiped at me I let out a unfamiliar wail, as the vampire clawed my forearm, blood started to pour from the wound I could see the greenish yellow flesh appear as the blood splashed on the floor, I rolled forward and stood up clutching my arm, the vampire was hidden in plain sight, I could sense it's presence but was unaware of its location, my heart was beating faster and faster the sweat on my face is mixing with the blood from the woman's head my vision is blurred and I slowly stumble against a wall for minor comfort, everything was in slow motion. I hear a scream from the other side of the room it was Eliza.

"Now now pretty lady I only want to play a game, do you want to play with me?" the vampire said staring beyond Eliza's eyes and into her soul to which Eliza said,
"But the game has already been won" the vampire then heard a slight click and then seen a small spark Eliza was not only my friend but my tutor and like clockwork the vampire assumed that a young pretty girl like Eliza would be a easy feed, vampires maybe strong in body but are relatively weak in mind they get a sniff of sweet blood and nothing else matters.

The vampire lunged at Eliza but she just gracefully spun away like a finale of a London ballet, she had something in her hand it was a Derringer pistol, petite and precious just like her. but this was not the only thing up Eliza's sleeve, or dress in this case the vampire was swiping at thin air grunting at its frustration the anger intensified on its face as it yelled,

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE YOU FUCKING WHORE" to which Eliza confidently replied,
"Why are you feeling unwell oh you poor thing the pain will not last that much longer, you see in my weapon I have used bullets which where forged in the fires of the Vatican encrusted with cystalized garlic cooked by priests of old and cut with silver blades then soaked in holy water for 40 days and 40 nights so you see your insides are about to rupture, your veins are filling up with poison you will bleed from every orafas you have and then you will simply cease to be."
"You fucking bitch, I am going to eat every inch of your body and the.....uuug.....arrrrghhhhh" the vampires eyes filled up with blood, the blood was like rain on a window dripping from the sockets, the vampire curled up into the foetal position the pain intensified then it shifted to laying on its back in a violent and abrupt manner you could hear the bones crunching and contorting, its body was convulsing uncontrollably blood began to burst from every vain like a knotted hosepipe that has just been untangled, the skin of the vampire could no longer be seen all that was left was a pile of bones and blood.

I slowly dragged myself along the wall and Eliza came to comfort me her embrace was intoxicating and staved of the pain for a few seconds I turned to her and she said.

"Once I patch you up Regnum, your going to clean that mess up"

Entry 2

A few days have past since I fought the vampire, I needed find out why the vampire's where being less careful and killing in plain sight, where they getting desperate for food was the hunger taking over. I had to find out. I grabbed my hat and coat and braved the winters cold air.
I resided in London the smell of rat excrement filled the dark dank streets, ladies of the night echoed down the cramp streets like a choir of succubi.

I decided to visit a, lets say friend of mine yes friend that will do. I walked the twisting alley ways only stopping to get my bearings my friend didn't like people knowing where she lived and living amongst the maze like London alley ways is a good way of not being found. I finally gazed upon the doorway where she resided old cracked wood splintered forth like a forest of needles, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a pocket watch placing it up against the door, the hands started spinning wildly only coming to a stop when I moved the watch around the door, finally the hands stopped spinning and I heard a click then a creek as the door slowly opened I returned the watch to my pocket and entered the home.

Every time I come here there is even more curious items and artifacts of what I assumed are great wealth. the hallway leads to a circular room with a desk at the far end sitting at the desk with her feet up was my friend, her name is Eliza she is twenty seven with deep red hair which runs down her back like a cascading waterfall, her skin is pale with a porcelain like complexion her eyes are bright green and if she wills it you can be hypnotised by her beauty she is a mousy character with a soft voice and a welcoming presence in the murky sea of whores and murderers.

"Regnum, how nice of you to come visit me, to what do I owe this pleasure" she asks as she sits upright in her chair. To which I retort, "why to gaze upon your infinite beauty my lady" tipping my hat in respect.

"Oh really Regnum is that all" is her hasty reply
"Well mostly yes..."
"I always know you have more reasons to see me than you say" she interrupted.
"Your wit is as sharp as your tongue Eliza, and of course you are correct I am here for information"
"What kind of information" she reluctantly replies.
"Information regarding the recent vampire attack, it was right in the open there could have easily been witnesses they are becoming careless and it worries me."
"Well it should worry all of us, this is all I know, whispers from high command mention that vampires are being impatient and the food is getting snapped up faster than we can deliver it, we have had a working truce for many years it was simple, we provide food, and we don't make their breed extinct, but they have killed around ten hunters in the past 3 years and i can only assume, feel their time on this god forsaken planet living in the shadow's of men should come to an end."
She voiced concern and it sent a shiver down my spine.
"Well my lady this cannot happen we must train hunters quicker, the vampires seemed more skilled than I can remember, they can now manipulate the elements and we must counter!" I said angrily.

Before Eliza could reply I heard a scream from the other side of the massive wooden door, then to my amazement the door contorted and creeked like it was being sucked into a black hole, it then shattered and once the dust and debris cleared there was a hulking figure of a man with a woman's head grasp in its left hand the expression on her face was sheer horror, then the figure walked into Eliza's home, slowly took its right hand and placed its finger on the lips of the woman's head and just said.

"Shhhhhhh"
