Coven Contest Short Story
"Can you help me take Revenge?"
That's what people want from me every time they manage to walk into my private hide-outs, call me using numbers that aren't traceable, or manage to 'stumble' into me while I'm doing something in public. And I say what for for every one, and if it is good enough I help them for a price. Since I am already rich, I don't need money so I ask them if they are willing to die to see this revenge fulfilled and after the see their wish, I make them keep up their end of the bargain, but it's usually without them knowing. Heads cut off, hearts torn out, throats slit, its all the same to me, but how they want the revenge taken upon another person always differs.
Now you may be thinking that I'm an assassin, and I guess that I am, but after a hundred years of life wouldn't you have the art of killing perfected after being trained to do it from the day that you turned. Oh I'm a vampire, if you didn't get that from earlier, but the sight nor scent of blood doesn't make my fangs come out like seen in the movies, well not anymore. I used to have troubles of controlling my killing impulses, but not anymore, and that's why I am a killer for hire...to those that can find me anyways. Then another one came, and it was one that I didn't expect.
I was watching TV like a normal person of this time would do when a knock at the door caught my attention, well it was more like banging on the door, but all the same to me, and I had gotten off of the couch and made my way to the door and the scent of wet dog hit my nose. What was a werewolf doing here? I breathed in the scent once again and smelled that it was female, a female werewolf with the scent of betrayal all over her. I opened the door and saw her standing there soaked in the rain and she looked at me with her deep Onyx eyes and asked that one single question that everyone loves to ask me once they find me.
"Can you help me take Revenge?" she said and I nodded and took out a dagger before examining it in the moonlight to let the silver metal shine in-front of the other person.
"For who? To who, or What?" I said and she took a deep breath.
"I want revenge on my pack and my mate, the alpha, who rejected me after I told him that I killed his other family" she said "I told him that it was an accident, but he didn't believe me and when he found out that we were to be mates, he cast me out of the pack and made me rouge, hunted by all" this was interesting and it caught my attention.
"Okay show me where" was all I had to say before she shifted and ran off, and I quickly grabbed and put on my things before easily catching up to her as she ran towards pack boundaries. Your from one of the powerful ones huh, no wonder they rejected you. They want to seem like they are still strong, and you look weak, owell. They've all been given their death sentences by this one lady werewolf.
"Okay where are they" I asked when we got into a clearing that washed away their scent and I looked behind me to see that the lady werewolf wasn't there, and then wolves surrounded me and I chuckled. Another find me, lure me into an ambush type thing. Whatever, I was ready for whatever they threw at me.
Then one close to me shifted and came up a little closer to me and I tilted my head and pulled out my swords.
"Look now you think that you may be able to kill me 'once and for all' as your species seems to think, but I've had much, much worse ambushes than this" I said and didn't even give them the chance to react. My speed unable to be matched, and unseeing as I raced through them cutting off all of their heads with my swords made of silver, and when I stopped the settling sound of all of their heads hitting the ground made me smile.
The alpha standing before me looked at his dead pack, of what hundreds, maybe close to a thousand and I saw him take a step towards me and then fall apart into hundreds of tiny pieces. I chuckled and then went to find the lady werewolf that had tried to trick me into running into my death, but I found her unconscious on the ground and she had blood leaking out from every part of her, and I mean every part of her. I just took out one of my knives and stuck it through her heart, and then I turned and ran off. Past my recent hideout, and into the city where I stopped at an abandoned warehouse, and sat on one of the higher beams as I listened to the sounds of the city for three more days. And then it began again, but this time the person was human, or seemed human, and she came for revenge.
"I wish to seek revenge?" she asked immediately as she spotted me on the beams and I floated down to her level and asked
"For who? From who" I clasped my hands in-front of me and I didn't notice the glow in her eyes until it was too late.
"For my family" she said and her hair started to move, there was no wind today "because of you" she said and then I felt a sharp pain in my back and through my chest and I gasped in shock and looked down to see that one of the beams had been torn away and was now sticking through my chest. And then something sharp crossed my vision and I pulled her into the large piece of wood with me just before my world went black, and my head fell off.
The vampire ghost sat in-front of a camera with others watching him in shock, humans that were responding to a ghost sighting, and there he was, a ghost right in-front of them.
"So I ask you before your souls are mine" his teeth glinted in the light of the moon shining behind him as lunged and the camera's screen tipped over to show the ceiling of an abandoned home, as the screams of four humans, two women, two men, came through the air. Sounding like chorus' to the vampire ghost's ears as his knives of moonlight sank into each one's soul, turning their skin pale, and their forms stilled like stone.
Then the vampire went back to the camera and lent just so that it could see him.
"Who seeks revenge against you?" then the feed turned into static.
