This is a fun little story about a slayer and a vampire, they meet, and lemony goodness ensues. Both of the characters in this story are my own creations. Please do not use them for anything other than your own amusement.

Here we go...
As I walk towards the dining hall, my leather boots making no sound on the worn cobblestone floor, I feel the goose bumps rise along my bare arms.
I know exactly what it means, *Stupid* I chide myself *You should've ASSUMED vampire. You should've prepared better*
I take stock of what I'm carrying, *Silver dagger and four stakes in my belt, vial of holy water in the pocket inside the ankle of my boot. My Revolver with wood tipped bullets, specially blessed by Father O'Halloran, the guy who thinks he's my boss, and a large bubble of unease rising in my chest.*
I force it down and square my shoulders as I enter the dining hall.
He's sitting at the head of the table, inhumanly beautiful, almost too much so to be a man. I mentally slap myself *He's NOT a man. He's a monster. One that you've been hired to kill.*
A wry smile tugs at the corner of his full lips, "So. You're my assassin." His voice is smooth and dark, I feel a flutter in the pit of my stomach, my mouth is suddenly dry, but other parts of me are suddenly wet. I nod, "I am."
He smiles, fangs glinting in the candlelight, "Then you'd best get on with it." He says, saluting me with his wineglass.
