chapter one

Kendra was walking through the dark ally, the streets of London were quiet that night. Her thoughts overwhelmed her and the cold wind was like a dead man's whisper. She looked up at the moon; it was so bright it lit up the night sky. As she was walking in the cold air, she was thinking I don't expect this to end well. She said to herself, I want out of all this but I know I have to kill this guy or my boss will kill me. She lit a cigarette and thought what is my boss hiding and why does he want the night walkers killed. The night walkers are a colony with about twenty-nine vampires that cannot be in the sun but they have no real power, she said to herself.

How could she do this without some kind of explanation on what was going on? I have killed so many of them they have to be looking for me. She got to the end of the ally and on her left there was an old building with dark red paint, she looked up at the roof and at the same time a good looking man was looking back at her. She ran to the fire escape and climbed up to get a better look at this man. She got to the top and she tried to see him without him seeing her. When she saw that it was the man she had to kill she ran after him but he ran to the roof door and opened it then ran down the stairs she went back down the fire escape to cut him off.

He got to the lobby the lobby was dark and musty with old rugs. He ran to the door but before he had time to open it Kendra cut him off at the fount door. When he went to grab the door handle Kendra pushed open the door with so much force she hit him in the face his head flopped back with a jerk. His nose was bleeding and it dripped down his lip and in to his mouth then she pushed it again and when it hit him he flew across the lobby and landed with such force the wind was knocked out of him. Kendra opened the door to the lobby and walked up to him and said "There you are!"

He said "Who are you and what do you want from me?"

"The question is what are you doing up there and why were you looking at me with eyes of anger?"

He replied "My name is Barbas and I was looking for someone, so what are you doing here?"

Kendra replied "I am here to kill you."

"What!!!" Barbas screamed. Barbas tried to get up off the floor but Kendra put her foot on his chest.

"You are not going anywhere!"

He tried to push it away but she was pushing too hard for him to get up. Kendra asked "So how do you want to die

Barbas?"

He laughed "I am not the one that’s going to die."

Kendra picked him up by the shirt and pushed him against the wall. "Hey look I don't want to do this but my boss will eliminate me if I don't, so let’s get this over with." Kendra whispered.

Barbs threw a punch and Kendra ducked and upper cutted him in the chin, Barbs stepped back, stunned from the hit he said "Okay then let’s go."

Kendra round kicked him in the head he flew back and went down with a thump. Kendra grabbed her crossbow and aimed it at him but before she could fire he got up and kicked her in the face she dropped her crossbow and grabbed her face and yelled f**k! She got up and kicked him across the face he stumbled back and hit the wall.

Kendra snatched up her crossbow and fired but before it hit him, Kendra laughed "I told you were going to die." When it hit him he said f**k you!! Then he flopped down.

Kendra left and headed home as she was walking she got the feeling someone was following her but when she turned around there was no one there, so she kept walking. She heard someone calling out to her hey you! But again no one was there she kept walking then she heard it again HEY YOU! She said out loud is someone there?

"Yes" said a dark shadow coming out of the ally.

"Who are you? How did you find me?" Kendra asked with fright.

"I followed you when you were done with the kill."

"Like I said who are you?" much more enraged Kendra asked.

"I am Zepar, and what’s your name?"

"I am Kendra." she replied rudely.

"Why did you kill that vampire?" Zepar asked sadly.

"I was told to kill him by my master he wanted him dead. Have you heard of the soul collector?" Kendra asked.

"No why?" asked Zepar confused.

"Because that is my master why does it matter?" Kendra asked.

"Because you just killed my brother!" Zepar answered with sadness.

"I am sorry now if you please I have to go. If I don't check in with the master he will send Balan to look for me."

"Why does the soul collector want the night walkers dead?"

"I don't know" Kendra replied rudely." The master won't tell me why, he just sends me to kill. So why were you following me?" Kendra thought to herself maybe he was sent to take me out or if not maybe he wants to get revenge for his brothers' death.

"I was following you so I can help you." Zepar said flatly.

"Why do you want to help me, what’s in it for you?" she asked.

"Nothing" he answered "You looked like you need some answers."

"How can you give me what I seek?"

"I overheard my coven talking so I know a little about what’s going on between the colonies" Zepar said.

"So start talking or are you waiting for an invitation, Kendra remarked smartly?

"No," said Zepar "Can I walk with you? On the way I will tell you what I know." She thought to herself if Zepar wanted to kill me he would have done it by now. "So what do you say, can I walk with you?"

"Whatever" Kendra huffed with worry in her eyes.

And Zepar said "Well fifteen years ago your master and my master Victor were on a kill that went wrong and Victor blames your master for the mess up that’s when fighting began and that’s why the two want each other dead for the power."

"So why do you want to help the bad guy?" Zepar replied, "Because I want to get along with all the vampires."

Kendra looked worried with that answer. "So is that all you know about whats going on? Kendra pried.

"Yes," Zepar said "Sorry I can’t be of more help."

"It’s okay," Kendra said to him "Thank you for the info but I really have to go now."

"Okay if I have more info I will find you is that okay?"

"Yes," she said, "bye".

"Bye, hope to see you soon," Zepar replied happily.

When she got back to the cold and dark house, she felt so alone she walked to the master’s room, she opened the door and walked up to the masters throne and bowed at his feet.

"Hi Kendra how did the hunt go?" questioned Jeric.

"Good, said Kendra, all went well."

"Good the power is in my grasp" Jeric laughed, "It won’t be long before this is all over Kendra you can go now." Kendra walked out and went to her room.

Jeric turned to Balan and whispered "When we have the power over the Night Walkers nothing will stop us from ruling all the vampires and I will be a God, they laughed with evil in their voice. "Now go get me something to eat Balan".

"Okay master" Balan said with a smile.

Meanwhile Kendra was in her room laying on her bed thinking to herself why can’t I stop thinking about Zepar? What was so amazing about him? It started to rain, Kendra walked to the window and looked out as she saw the rain fall she wondered why does she feel so alone and when will she get past the pain of wanting someone to hold her. Kendra was staring at the rain and thinking how it would feel to be with Zepar. She thought of him drawing her close and his lips brushing her every kiss and every touch and every sweet word. She knows being with him would end up in her death because the master would have her head for being with the one he's trying to rule. She didn't know if she could see him again without going through with her thoughts of him.

The rain hit her window with a smooth beat and as she listened to it she got so tired. She walked to her bed and layed down and slowly went to sleep with the picture of his perfect body and dark eyes in her dreams.

In the morning she went to the kitchen to get a cup of warm blood but on the way she ran in to Balan, he stopped her and asked "what’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing, "Kendra said "just hungry so I am going to go get some food do you want to go with me?"

"No, he said "but I am going that way can I walk with you?"

"Yes" she answered. As they walked down the hallway Balan asked "what happened last night?"

"Nothing why?"

"Because you came back different."

"It went well he tried to get away but I cut him off and kicked his a*s."

"So why were you acting like there was something wrong?"

"I don't know maybe I was just tired."

"Okay the master told me to ask."

"Why do you do everything the master asks?"

"Because he could have my head in a second if I don't obey him. Don't you do everything he asks?"

"No I have a life I don't need someone telling me what to do."

They arrived at the master's room so he went his way and Kendra went to the kitchen. When she got there it was packed with so many vampires she had to eat fast and rush back to her room. She was writing in her diary when there was a knock on the door she yelled at them to hold on. She got up off the bed slowly and went to the door, when she opened it, the master was there.

"What are you doing here master?" Kendra asked fearfully.

"I am here to tell you that you have the night off."

But if you leave your throne someone will challenge you for it" Kendra said knowingly

"Its' okay no one will do so, they know I will have them beheaded if they try."

"Okay, Kendra replied "So If I have the night off, I will be going out master, I will be gone for a while."

"Okay" the master said respectfully. She bowed at his feet then he left.

She got up and went to her closet and pulled out a pair of leather pants and a leather shirt that had blood red laces on the front, she got dressed and grabbed her crossbow and left for the night.

She was walking through streets looking for some action she was trying to keep her mind off of Zepar. But everything she thought about made her think of him. She hoped she wouldn't run into him but if she did she would try to talk about business to keep her mind off of wanting him so bad. She was walking down 5th street when she saw him coming up to her, so she tried to run way but he ran after her and said "hey, where are you going".

"I need to talk to you" she stopped, turned and said

"What do you want?"

"What are you doing"?

"Don’t you have a kill tonight?"

"No she said I have the night off".

"So what are you doing tonight?"

"It’s none of yours business"

All she could think of was kissing his cold lips. Her passion for him was unbearable but she knew she has to resist him at all costs. He started to walk with her.

"Why won’t you look at me he said?"

She tries to pass off her passion for him as hate and said

"Because I can’t stand you."

"Why, what did I do to you?"

But she did not answer because there was no reason for her to hate him. So she looked at the ground and kept walking.

"Why won’t you answer me?"

"Because you are pissing me off."

"Why?"

"Because I want to be alone."

"Okay, he said, when you want to talk, then come find me I will be around here." He walked away with a look of sadness on his face. She kept walking and looking for a fight. She was trying to not think of him but she was having so much trouble getting him off her mind.

She thought what if I have to kill him what will I do and how can I do it if I am in love with him. My master will be so mad if I don't kill him. What am I going to do? When she saw that there was no fighting around she went back to the house and went to her room to write in her diary. She fell asleep while she was writing and she was dreaming of him she had lots of dreams of him lately. She had a hard time sleeping that night; every time she got up she knew she was dreaming she had so many erotic dreams of him. Her fantasies kept getting darker but much more pleasurable each time. In the morning she went to the masters' throne room to check in. she bowed at his feet when she got up she said

"Hi master"

He looked disappointed she knew that he knows about him. But she did not say anything to him.

"He said you can go now"

"Kendra said but I need to talk to you."

The master yelled GET OUT OF HERE! She walked out with her head down in shame.

She thought to herself how does he know about Zepar then she realized that Balan must have seen her talking to him. She went back to her room and layed down on her bed and said out loud this is fucked up, I shouldn't have fell for him. Now what do I do now that the master knows about him? I can’t get the info I need to stop the fight because Balan might be watching me. So I better look out. Kendra went to her room to get ready for tonight’s kill while she was getting ready her master came to her door to tell her who she was going to kill tonight.

" Hi Kendra the master said"

"Hi, Kendra replied"

"How are you doing?" Kendra asked.

"Good" he said.

The master said, tonight’s kill is Darla she should be at the bar on 6th and red street. Okay she said.

She picked up her crossbow and swords and some stakes and headed out to kill Darla. Kendra was walking down 6th street slowly looking for Darla when she got to the bar she went in, the smoke was so thick she could barely see. She went to the end of the bar and sat down.

"Hey bartender"

"What can I get you?"

"I want a beer"

"Can I get you anything else?"

"Yeah, have you seen Darla?"

"No"

"Okay, just the beer".

As she was leaving the bar she saw Darla walking into the alley behind the bar. She walked behind her but where she can’t see that she is there. She could hear the cries of so many people dyeing that she could not listen to her own thoughts. She got to the ally and saw Darla and told her to stop. Darla looked at her with evil in her eyes and said what do you want? Kendra looked at her and said I am here to kill you. Darla looked at her and stared to laugh evilly at her. Darla ran at Kendra and said get ready to get her a*s kicked. Then Kendra said to her I am better then you at hunting and killing so bring it on.

Darla looked at her and said to her we will see how good you are at what you say. Kendra stared the fight with a round kick to Darla’s jaw then Darla ducked and upper cutted her in the chin she stubbed back as she was getting her balance back. Darla came up to her and keened her in the gut she bent over from the pain and groan out loud. Darla stepped back and looked at her with a winners face. Kendra said was that meant to hurt me? Darla said no but this one mite b***h.

Darla ran up to her but before she got there Kendra did a flip over her and landed behind her and kicked her in the back Darla went down and hit her face on the dirt she got dirt in her moth. She got up and yelled you f*****g b***h I will f**k you up and here you plead for your life before I kill you.

Kendra said I will not be the one plead for my life you are half the vampire I am. You think you are hot s**t but you can’t kill a fly b***h. Darla was so piss off she turned around and hit her in the noes Kendra's head went back then Darla punched her in the gut again but when Kendra bent over this time she garbed Darla waist and she went down heard. Why Darla was down Kendra stared to hit her repeatedly in the face. Darla pushed Kendra off and she said this is not over then Darla ran away into the dark night. Then Kendra got up and look up at the sky and said to herself why is this so heard I don't want to do this no more then she stared to walk back to the house she was so tired of killing and all the dieing.

Along the way she ran into Zepar again but when she saw him this time she ran into the ally right behind her because she could not face him with these feeling's she had for him. Zepar said to himself where did she go and why does she not want to see me what did I do to make her mad.

He kept looking for her but nothing so he left. She looked around the corner to see if he was still there she did not see him. She walked slowly out of the ally and kept looking for him praying he was not withing for her somewhere nearby. She walked fast up the street towed her house. When she got home she went right to her room and sit down on the bed and thought of the men she could not have and why she could not stop thinking of him.

All the passion she was dreaming of she wanted him so bad she could taste it and hear it and see it. It was all too real to her. She was so into it she almost did not here the bang on the door she got up and answered the door but by the time she got there no one was there. She looked at the clock and was it was late so she went to the bed and layed down and prayed not to dream of the men that got her thinking so passionately. She could not sleep so she sit up and stared to wright in her dairy about him she wrote how her passion for him was just too much for her to deal.

This is fucked up she thought to herself all the vampires are talking about her and talking s**t about her music and the men she wanted. She told herself not to think of all the s**t they are saying and just do what needs to be done but she can’t help but think why are they talking s**t about me and should I stop them. They don't know who I am not like I know there kind so what gives them the right to do so. Then she said to herself f**k all them with an evil smile on her face. Someone yelled down the hall for here but she did not respond because of all the s**t that she doesn’t want to deal with so she just turns up the music to drown them out.

As she was sitting there the images of Zepar where so intestine that it made her want so much more then the thoughts of her imagination. Ever kiss was like an explosion in her mind she try so heard to think of killing or something at don't make her want to live the colony.

As she was living the house there was an overwhelming felling in the air of pain and disappointment it was like a stake through the heart she just had to get out of there so she ran through the hell so fast she could not see them they were all a blurry but she had to make it out of there. She was on the step in front of the house and she looked around and said to herself all this is going to end with so many dead and I am going to kill most of them. With that thought she said I better get going.

Kendra was walking the streets of London looking for the nights kill and something to eat when out of nowhere came Zepar. Kendra he softly yelled as he was running up to her hay whit for me we need to talk. Kendra stops and trend and said what’s going on is it about the battle? No it’s about us he replied. Why have you been hiding form me what did I do? He asked.

She said I don't know trying to hide the passion for him that was in her eyes. He said it’s okay. What she didn't know is that he was going thought the same feelings for her but he was hiding them too. So what are your plans for tonight? Kendra said I still have to kill Darla so I am looking for her then I don't know. So he said want to go for some nice warm blood? No she said I just want to get this over with and go back home. Zepar said goodnight and walked way slowly. As Kendra slowly crept around the streets looking for Darla she smelt fear all over it was so intoxicating.

It was like a good fight that she just won but the thought of Zepar was more powerful then the fear. As she was walking she looked up for a moment and saw the full moon and thought when this all will end so I can be happy. She stared walking down Main Street and at that time she saw Darla walking but she did not go to her yet causes she could not stop thinking of Zepar so she would die. All she could think of is Zepar and it was going to cost her life. She stared to walk to the house and as she walked it started to rain the sound of the rain was so loud to her ears it was like thunder.

So she ran to the house to get out of the rain when she got inside Balan came up to Kendra and told her to go to the master room. She did not obey she just wanted to go to bed and try to forget him. As she slept she saw so much of him and her together that she just had to wake up but she knew if she did it would be so much worst then the dream that she could not wake up from. She got up anyway to see what all the noes was as she went up to the door she heard yelling so she just listen.

She walked out the room and saw the master and one of the vampires going at it so she just walked out the house and went to the bar that Darla was going to be at maybe. She was drinking a beer when she thought she saw Darla walk in so she got up to go f**k her up and at the same time she was thinking to herself this will be fun. I will finely have a night without thinking of Zepar. He had her heart on a string and loving him had not been her intention and his love was not a game she could win. When she got to where she thought she saw her Darla was nowhere to been seen so she just walked out of the bar and headed for home along the way she saw him and she said f**k this and she ran all the way to the house. She did not stay long because she had a job to do and if she did not find Darla this would not end and when it does it will end in blood.

She went to her room to get in some better a*s kicking closes then went back out to look for Darla. She was not sure if she would find her but she had to try because she need to get this over with and get out of Zepar life because she can’t handle this no more. When she was living she had a feeling of hate and love for him that rain over her like blood. Her blood lust is like a rain storm that just won’t stop. As she was going to f**k up Darla she got the feeling of warm blood in her heart but she knows that it had to have been the feeling for Zepar. She tried to block out that wonderful feeling because she wanted it so much to feel alive.

But she knows that can’t happen no matter how much her heart want to beat. She went looking for Darla at a club that vampires chill at sometimes. She went in the club. It was called the dome of hell it had the blood of incents on the wall and it was dark and smelled like the sweet smell of blood. It was over packed with so many vampires that she could barely walk without running in to them. She went to the top of the club to see if she could spot Darla.
