It was October 30th reaching the end of the 8pm, and the sun had gone down, draping darkness over the land. You wouldn't think North Carolina to be a horrifying place at night, but driving through the highway and along the wooded area, it took on a brand new definition. It was especially spooky considering all the missing reports around the area that sparked the interest of Lyle.
Lyle drove along the deserted roads with his high beams on in front, speeding in his black truck, and looked on for interesting sights. There'd been reports of attacks all around the country side, and locals even recall seeing two women attacking cattle. From cattle came local business owners. They were mostly men, as Lyle had figured. He conducted his research learning of the break in at the local mausoleum where the bodies of two girls had gone missing.
The police suspected theft, but Lyle knew otherwise. The master vampire was near, and his prey was now hungry predators. He finally reached the end of the road looking out on to a half built construction site. He knew this is where they would likely be hiding. If not here, then underground. When he stepped out from the truck, he could smell the rank odor of corpses. He covered his face cringing, he just couldn't find where they were being stashed. Obviously the vampires were prone to feeding and not producing new vamps, which was a relief.
Lyle took his sword sheathing it along his back, and held out his crossbow preparing for the trip. He slipped on his head light and turned grabbing his cell phone. He took a soft breath and rang his cell preparing to hear his wife's voice just once before he went in to battle. He'd heard the ringing and turned yelping in horror as a male vampire shambled out from the darkness lurching at him. He dropped the phone along the ground and wrestled with it, rolling around the ground and pinned it down with all his might. With one swipe, he sliced its head from its shoulders and stepped back as the body went limp.
He panted wiping his face, annoyed at the sloppiness, and rushed over to the phone hearing "I'm sorry," over the phone from. He picked up and held his phone up listening for a moment, "Jenny, I'm here." She sighed saddened and continued, "I'm leaving you, Lyle."
"What?" he gasped looking back.
"I've been seeing someone else for the last year," she sighed, "I just want someone not so committed to his job."
"I told you my job isn't easy."
