All copy rights and the like belong to their respective parties. At least in the case of Lyconus and his wolfy self. He basically belongs to me. This is a re-write of what began some years ago after watching the first Underworld film. Which inspired me to do my own Werewolf story. I figured that since my writing has improved since I first started writing the story years ago. That it was high time I tried re-writing it. Anyways.. enjoy! And leave some feedback if you wouldn't mind.
In the absence of light, darkness prevails. And if the majority of people knew what exactly went on in the prevailing realm of darkness, theyâd be calling on a way to keep darkness away. Either that or better night lights in the areas. But for one lone Vampire, he was quite happy the Happy Meals on Legs didnât know crap just yet. And he hoped it stayed that way. But in the mean time, he was going to enjoy his current hunt. Which tonight was a lovely young brunette in her early 20âs. One he happily came across quite luckily in his estimation. Seeing a chance, he quickly snatched her into a near by alley followed with a muffled scream from the girl. The fear he could feel off the girl was like a sweet nectar to his heightened senses and he reveled in it immensely. âShh.. shh my sweet, no one can hear you. Might as well stop your screams. Even if help came, no one would help you.â He said to her quietly followed with a lick of his tongue on her exposed neck. Tears licked from the girls eyes as she realized she was more then likely going to be very dead very soon.
Very quickly she gave in to the vampire as she realized what was going to happen soon. At least when she went, sheâd go with out no regrets in regards to her friends and family. Sensing his prey had given up, the vampire smiled in a victorious manner. âOhh yess my sweet, you have done well this night. I shall drain you dry in honor of your deed!â A dark chuckle emanated from him and mentally extended his fangs, he lowered his head into her exposed neck.
But just as he was about to bite into his preyâs delicious looking neck, a rattling sound was heard near by. Forcing the Vampire to look up in alarm and annoyance. Giving a quick look and not bothering to use his senses he returned to taking his preyâs blood from her lovely body. But another loud noise was heard and he looked up again, but this time in clear anger. âAlright now.. whoâs out there!? If you want a bite of this youâre gonna have to find another Happy Meal!â Having used his senses, the Vampire realized that someone was there in the dark alley with them. But still being a relatively young Vampire of 180 years, he still had a hard time telling if they were Human, Vampire, or something else. Like one of those werewolves heâd heard about but never saw.
âHappy meal? If I wanted one of those, Iâd just go to a McDonaldâs man.â Came a light hearted response from somewhere in the darkened alley.
The Vampire just growled at the smart assed response he got. âReal funny man, I know thereâs one two blocks away, so why donât you just go on about your way there and forget this even happened.â He knew it was slim beyond belief that the wise cracker would actually do it. But hey he had to try anyways.
With a silent grace, the newcomer walked into what little light there was. But it wasnât enough to help the Vampire see what the intruder looked like. âWell its been said I can be a real funny guy. But leaving a girl to a Vampire? Not something thatâs ever been said about me. And I do mean EVER.â He said it with a firm voice that made both the girl and the Vampire believe it.
Deciding that the intruder on his dinner was a threat. He pushed the girl roughly away from him. Causing her to fall hard to the ground in some near by trash. And then turning all his attention to the intruder. âWell hero, guess Iâll kill you first and then get back to what I was doing previously. Ooh I can feel it now.. two kills!! The rush! Oh my!â The Vampire had a very disturbing smile on his face and went to charge at the man.
Unfortunately for the Vampire, the man was a bit quicker then he was. Causing the blood drinker to fall hard into a nearby pile of trash. Making Mr. Blood Drinker smell worse then what he previously was. Another thing his poor prey had to suffer with. He quickly stood back up with a guttural growl coming from his throat. Which was loud enough for anyone in the area to hear. Causing the girl to whimper in fear, due to still staying in the spot she was thrown into before. He made to charge again with a right hook but the intruder simply moved to the side and grabbed the Vampireâs fist. Which due to the momentum and the speed the Vampire was at. Caused for a very painful meeting of bones in the arm. Making the blood drinker howl in agony. âYa see.. thereâs no need for this man. Yet you waste time escalating things anyway.â The intruder said in a calmly yet at the same time oddly amused tone of voice.
He still had a grip on the Vampireâs fist. And with one fluid motion, snapped the wrist. Causing the Vampire to once more howl in agony. The intruder then let go of the otherâs hand. Letting the Vampire hold his hand while he stumbled around due to the shock of the pain he was in. The man watched the vampire for a few minutes before sighing to himself and reaching inside his coat pocket and pulling out one of the few stakes he kept in one of the inner pockets of his jacket. It paid to wear a trench coat with inner pockets. Granted it sucked wearing it sometimes when it was really hot out, but you learned to deal. He walked quickly to the Vampire and grabbed him by the shoulder and spun the Vampire around to face him. âBy the way my good man, you go bye bye now.â And before the Vampire could react, the man shoved his stake into the Vampireâs chest. Effectively striking his heart and turning to ashes very quickly.
He walked away from the ashes and went towards the girl. But stopped and turned back to the pile of ashes. Saluted it and then went on to the girl. But his nearing presence caused her to whimper in fear. Fear that he might want to finish the job her would be attacker would have finished. He then got as close as he could with out scaring the poor girl anymore and bent over a little to extend his hand for her to grab. She in return just looked at him in confusion and fear. Wondering if it was a trick. Noticing that, he tried to hide a grimace. Inwardly cursing himself for not thinking about a reaction like that from her. Sighing as quietly as he could to himself. He then spoke. âHey, its okay. Iâm not gonna hurt you. I just want to help you up.â His words were spoken as caring sounded as possible. Not wanting to make things worse.
The girl just looked at him some more. And with a few whimpers, scrambled quickly away from him. Having trouble even believing anything he said. Quickly making it to her feet, she ran as quick as she could to get out of the alley. Hoping and praying that sheâd make it home and never think on this night again. Looking in her direction, he sighed in an exasperated manner. âYouâre welcome!â He called out loudly to the fleeing girl.
Shrugging his shoulders, he shoved his hands in to his jean pockets and started to walk out of the alley as well. Coming out onto the sidewalk, he looked upwards into the sky and at the half Moon. Silently giving respect to the Moon. Shrugging his shoulders again. He went on about his business. As he had a very important appointment to keep. âNot even 2 hours into New York and Iâm already fightinâ vamps and savinâ girls.â He muttered to himself as he walked onwards.
