It's been a long time since I have refused the ritual of Halloween. The ritual that has countless species to come out at night. This Halloween I would do something about it. I was climbing out of my window in a dark blue vest with a black undershirt, black jeans, and a dark blue scarf wrapped around my face.
"And just where do you think you're going young man?" my mother asked. I had nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard her, but I relaxed knowing it was her and not my father. I wasn't worried about my brother. He was out looking for another mate. His human mate died while they were having sex, told you humans weren't worth the time.
"I w-was.... ummmmmmmmm," I stammered. I wasn't sure if she would approve of what I was doing so I tried to just jump out the window. She grabbed me and told me, "Be careful and don't do anything reckless."
I smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek. "Don't worry about me mom. I'll be fine," I reassured her. Before she could say anything, I jumped and sped off into the darkness of the night.
October 31, always an ominous night. There was even a full moon tonight. That means the were-creatures would be out this year. I sighed quietly as I moved quickly and quietly through the forests.
I spotted my brother not far in away from my current position. He had a human girl in his clutches, probably trying to change her into a vampire. I could hear her beg him to stop. I could see him laugh at her efforts to get away. I saw him lean down to bite her and lost it. I charged at him with a flying kick, one of my favorite techniques. He flew through a couple of trees before he hit a huge bolder with a thud. I glanced at him and saw he wasn't unconscious.
He looked up, his dark red eyes glowing and hissed at me. Then he recognized me. "Isaiah, what the hell are you doing?" he hissed at me.
"Well, I'm out looking for a mate," I said. He looked at me and burst into a fit of laughter.
"You! You couldn't even force a human child to go to bed, let alone force a woman to be your mate. Do you really expect me to believe that you, the virtuous vampire, to actually be looking for a mate?" he asked.
'Well you caught me there, Jasper. I actually came to stop some of this stuff that happens on Halloween."
"Oh really. You couldn't even stop me from killing that elven girl dad brought home with him on Halloween 50 years ago."
Just remembering that event from fifty years ago made me mad. I had been unable to help that girl. My dad held me down as I was forced to watch Jasper continuously bite and stab her with a knife. That was one of the things that motivated me to do what I'm doing tonight.
"You shouldn't have even brought that up, Jasper. You just signed your own death warrant," I said in so cold a voice that even I shivered from the sound of it.
