Hunter's Moon Chp. 1

Printer-friendly version

Cara races down the highway doing 90 mph on the stolen custom Harley Davidson motorcycle. She had taken refuge in an old mausoleum last night. It was located way back in the local graveyard away from sight. She glances back behind her to see if the people she was running from, we're still chasing her.

She was stupid for killing the one that created her. The slimeball tricked her and only held up part of his promise. He transferred her soul to an actual girl’s body that had died of cancer. Then turned her into a vampire. After he had turned her, he took advantage of her. He forced his will upon her and to make her have sex with him and several of his kiss.

After he made her take her clothes off and was forcing his will on her to submit. She managed to summon enough willpower to fight his control and stabbed him in the heart with a pencil. His body exploded and she felt it. Which meant, that the other vampires he created would feel it.

She hurried as fast as she could, so she could get out of the house he was using before the others came after her. She knew she was taking a risk as she made her way up from the basement and outside. The sun was raising and she could feel the burning sensation as she tried to run as far as possible from the place.

She managed to find shelter inside an abandoned van. It felt weird to her, as she felt her body just shut down. Her soul traveled to another place that was like a void in the universe. It was boring and there wasn’t anything for her to do there. When she woke-up eight hours later. She was extremely hungry and needed blood. She peeked out from her hiding spot to see if there were anyone waiting to pounce on her.

She crawls out and looks around. She feels the hunger inside her, building. She had second-degree burns where the sun touched her exposed skin. She moves as far as possible looking for someone to drink from. She couldn’t go back to the house, so she kept running. She found a deer and fed off it. The blood tasted nasty to her, but it fed her hunger.

She could feel the other children of the one that created her waking up. She could feel their anger at her for killing their creator. She ran as far as she could until she found a custom Harley Davidson motorcycle. It took her a few tries to learn how to ride it, but she managed.

That brings her back to her situation she was in now. She peeks her head out and carefully move to where she hid the motorcycle she stole.
Cara doesn’t sense any supers nearby. She mounts the motorcycle and leaves the graveyard. She wasn’t hungry right now, but she will need to feed by morning.

Tiger couldn’t believe her friends got her to dress up as a goth tonight and talked her into going to the new club The Reaper's Arms. The music wasn’t her style, but it wasn’t often she got out of the house. Her foster parents were real douche bags and controlled everything she did. She had no freedom.

Tiger feels her ass grabbed as a guy wraps his arms around her. She tries to shrug his arms off her, but he doesn’t let go.

“Come on baby, let’s go and get to know each other better.” He drags her out the back of the club and into the alleyway.

“I said let me go!” Tiger fights against the guys hold on her.

“Keep fighting baby. You’re just making your blood richer.” The guy exposes his fangs and leans in to bite her neck.

“HELP!”

Cara hears a young woman scream and heads over towards where the scream came from. She could feel another weaker vampire near a
hysterical gothic chick. He was getting ready to drink her blood.

“Get off her leech face.” Cara charges towards him.

The young vampire notices a woman with short strawberry blonde hair coming towards him. He could feel she was a vampire herself.

“This one is mine, get your own bitch!” As he sinks his fangs into Tiger.

Cara doesn’t even respond, but just punches into his chest and pull his heart out. Cara watches as he screams and burst into a bloody mess.
She catches his victim and could see where he sunk his fangs into her artery. She licks her finger and presses it against the teeth marks to seal it.

“What am I going to do with you?” Cara looks at the unconscious teenage girl form.

She tosses the girl over her shoulder like she was a sack of potatoes and head back to her motorcycle. There was no way she was going to be able to support this unconscious girl and ride at the same time. She puts the girl in front of her and maneuvers the motorcycle carefully. She could smell the girl’s blood beneath her skin, but it didn’t bother her.

She manages to find an abandoned warehouse where she could take shelter for the day. She still didn’t know what to do with the unconscious teenage girl. Cara could feel the sun rising, which meant, whatever she was going to do, she needs to do it now.

“Forgive me for doing this to you, but I can’t have you screaming your head off while my body is asleep.” Cara secures the teenage girl's legs and hands. She then puts the girl in a room with high windows, but only one door.

“Now, to find a safe place for myself.” Cara scouts out a place she can hide her body while she slept.

Just as she makes herself comfortable. She feels her spirit leave her body and head for the void.

Several hours later, Tiger wakes up and finds herself bound and locked in a room. She could see sunlight coming through windows that were
high up. She couldn’t understand why she was here. She wonders if the vampire that attacked her last night was responsible for her being here?

She tries to free her hands and legs, but whoever tied her up. They did a good job at it. She tried screaming for help, but all she did was make her throat sore and herself thirsty.

Tiger naps throughout the day. By the time the sun goes down. She hears movement coming towards her. She wonders who it could be.

Cara woke-up and was feeling hungry. She didn’t want to be near the girl, until she fed. She left the safety of the warehouse and found a drug dealer dealing drugs not far from the warehouse. She takes him down fast and hard. He deserved what she does to them.

Cara does strip them of their money, weapons, and head to the nearest convenience store. She buys a few bottles of water and some beef jerky for the teenage girl. She takes the purchases back to the teenage girl.

Cara opens the locked door and gets ready to face the music. When she walks in, she notices that the Gothic girl was looking at her with fear in her eyes.

“Please, don’t drain my blood. I promise not to tell anyone about you.” Tiger looks at the short strawberry hair girl as she carries a bag in with her.

“I’m not going to drink your blood. I have had my share of throats tonight. I brought you some water, beef jerky and a bag of chips.” Cara walks
over towards the girl and slices through her bindings.

Tiger just looks at the young petite vampire. She wonders what happened to the other one that had tried to drink her blood. She looks at the
woman. She looked rather young for a vampire. She could barely make out her features.

“What happened to the vampire that was attacking me?” Tiger was curious as she stuffs her mouth with the jerky.

“I killed him for attacking you. What were you doing with him back in the alleyway?” Cara was wondering if she was one of the types that
enjoyed having sex and giving their blood to the vampires.

“I was dragged outside by him. I didn’t want to go with him.” Tiger slows down eating the beef jerky and drinking her bottle water.

“Well, tell me where you live, and I’ll make sure you get home safely.” Cara would make sure she got home safely.

“Why would you help me?” Tiger didn’t know what to make of this woman.

“Because you’re innocent and can still enjoy life. Now, let's get you home.” Cara holds her hand out to the girl to help her up off the dirty floor.

They head to the motorcycle as Tiger climbs behind Cara. Cara drives Tiger towards her place. When they get there, the place was very quiet. Tiger was about to get off the motorcycle.

“Stop, I smell blood. Stay here till I give you the okay.” Cara was smelling fresh blood coming from the house.

Tiger stays with the motorcycle as Cara moves quietly towards the house. The closer she got, the more she could smell the blood, fear and the
stench of death. She carefully walks into the house and notices that there was blood everywhere. Cara finds the bodies of Tiger’s parents torn apart.

It was her fault that Tiger’s parents were murder. She killed that young vampire and his kiss must have sent someone to take revenge. Cara heads back outside to where Tiger was waiting.

“Are my foster parents dead?” Tiger didn’t know if she should feel thrilled or upset that her foster parents were dead.

Cara looks at Tiger “I’m sorry Tiger. It’s my fault that your parents are dead. Because I killed that young vampire, it would appear they wanted revenge against your family.”

“Why killed them, because you helped me?” Tiger couldn’t figure that out.

“I don’t know, but maybe something can be done about it. I still don’t know all the rules or how things work. So, maybe we should find another
supernatural to ask?” Cara figures they might know how to go about getting justice done.

Cara was still getting used to being, a vampire. She still didn’t know what all the rules were or about what she could or couldn’t do. She didn’t want to go and ask another vampire, because of what was done to her. She didn’t know who she should talk too.

“Well, what can we do now? The police are going to come and investigate this matter.” Tiger didn’t want to be here when the police arrive.
She’s been in enough trouble with them.

“Come on, let’s see what we can find on our own.” Cara mounts the motorcycle.

Tiger wraps her arms around Cara’s waist. She feels the motorcycle startup as they drive away from Tiger’s house. She wasn’t sure where they were going to find help or information.

Cara drove downtown looking and following her nose. There had to be other super’s around, other than vampires. As she gets close to a bar called The Quack Dogs Inn. Her senses pick-up something strange emanating from it.

“I’m going to pull in here. I’m getting a strange sense from it. By the way, what is your name?” As Cara parks the motorcycle and looks at the teenage girl cling to her.

“My name is Tiger Robinson. What is yours?” Tiger looks towards the young vampire that saved her.

“Just call me Cara for now. I don’t have a last name yet.” Cara gets off her motorcycle and wonders if she should take Tiger in with her or leave her outside.

“You better come with me, Tiger. I don’t want anything to happen to you.” Cara holds her hand out for Tiger to grab.

“Okay.” Tiger reaches for her hand and holds it.

Tiger couldn’t believe how small Cara’s hand was. It was childlike in her hands. She moves when Cara moves.

When Cara gets closer to the door, she could feel a different type of energy coming from it. It wasn’t like vampiric energy, but wilder and Earthly. She walks in and as she steps past the door. The conversions and such that was going on, come to a complete stop. A few heads turn towards her and Tiger.

Cara looks around trying to spot who was in charge here “I need to speak whoever is the leader here.”

“Why, do you need to speak to them, leech?” Two huge guys that look like they were lumberjacks was approaching Cara and Tiger.

Tiger steps closer to Cara for protection. She wonders why the men were being such dicks towards them. All they wanted was information.

“Look, I didn’t come here to cause problems or to be called names. I need to know how I report a crime committed by a vampire?” Cara was watching everyone in the bar.

“Was the crime committed by yourself?” Trey was curious why this newborn vamp, wanted to report a crime committed by their kiss.

He also noticed a gothic teenage girl standing close to the one speaking. He wonders if she was her snack or pet?

“The crime committed was against my friend Tiger Robinson. Her family was killed by the kiss group that made me. I believe it was in
retaliation for me killing one of their newborns who had attacked my friend here.”

“Why didn’t you tell your maker?” Trey watches the young strawberry blonde hair teenage girl as she stood protectively over the other girl.

“Because I killed the bastard for what he was about to do to me. That’s why.” Cara was let the man questioning her hear her anger.

She couldn’t see the man speaking to her, because he was behind the two meat trees. She could feel him. His presence was powerful.

“You killed your marker?” Trey couldn’t believe a newborn could kill their maker.

Normally, a newborn was under the sway of their maker, until they got used to being who they were. They needed their master's help to control
their hunger, so they didn’t go on a killing spree.

“Yes, I killed the bastard. After he gave me this body. He wanted to have some fun with me. I never agreed to anything like that. So, when the opportunity presented itself, I killed him.” Cara didn’t want to become anyone’s sex toy.

“Let them pass Tony and Ralph.” Trey wanted to know more about this girl and her companion.

Tiger couldn’t believe what she was seeing and hearing. Who were these people? She stays close to Cara as they walk towards a fellow who looked out of place.

He was wearing a three-piece business suit and look like someone who should be on the cover of a GQ magazine. He looked to be in his late twenties and was skinny, not beefy like the two that had been blocking their way. He had short black hair that was styled. She wouldn’t have recognized him as someone that would be a super.

“If you ladies will follow me please.” Trey escorts the two girls towards the back of the bar.

Cara notices that the people in the bar were following her and Tiger’s movement. A sly smile appears on her face. She’ll show them she isn’t afraid of them. She might be a newborn vampire, but that doesn’t mean she is a pushover.

Trey liked the spunk of the newborn he was escorting. He sits down in a throne-like chair that had wolf heads at the end of the armrest.

“Please, sit.” He motions towards some chairs that were in front of him.

Tiger looks at Cara to see if she was going to sit down.

Cara notices Tiger glances towards her to see if she was going to sit down. She sits down in the offered chairs. She didn’t feel anything strange about the chairs.

Tiger sits in the chair next to Cara. She felt uncomfortable with everyone watching her. She kept a firm grip on Cara’s hand.

“Now, why don’t you tell me what is going on from the beginning. Don’t leave anything out.” Trey was curious about the newborn and her human friend.

“Well my original name was Brandon Harrison and I use to live in Roanoke, Virginia. I was about to take my life because I wasn’t comfortable living like a male anymore. As a matter of fact, I really did want to kill myself. My family didn’t understand how unhappy and jealous I was of my
mother and female relatives. I was about to hang myself when Leonardo Villard appeared and offered to give me my deepest desire. He said he could transfer my soul out of my male body and place it in the body of one of his female servants. In exchange for him doing this, I would willingly become a member of his kiss. I know I screwed up, but I really wanted to be turned into a girl.” Cara knew she fucked up accepting the deal.

“So, I take it, he transferred your soul into the body you have now, and he transferred the soul of the girl whose body you have, into your old body. Did he kill your old body?” Trey was curious.

“Something like that happened, but what he did with the soul placed into my body. He turned that person into a vampire, just like he did me. After he finished making us into vampires, he was going to force me to have sex with him and every older vampire in his kiss.”

“I take it, that wasn’t part of the deal?” Trey could see where this was going.

“No, it wasn’t. I managed to fight his power over me and I killed him. I put a pencil through his heart.”

A smile appears on Trey’s face. He could imagine the look on Villard’s face. He knew the old bastard and his love for children. He could see that the body Brandon had been placed in, was in its late teens. Around sixteen or seventeen years old.

“Go on.” Trey wanted to hear why the other girl was involved.

“Well, I went on the run, avoiding members of my kiss. I manage to avoid being found and feed off drug dealers and animals.” The blood from
animals tasted nasty, but it feeds her hunger.

“Now that is weird. Most vampires would stick to just drinking human blood.” Trey wonders if vampires have been lying about animal blood not sustaining them?

“The other night, I came across a newborn vampire trying to feed off my friend here. She was screaming for help. So, I stopped to help her. I put my fist through his chest and pulled his heart out.”

“So, you were being attacked and screaming for help?” Trey was directing his question towards Tiger.

“Yes sir, I went to the new club called The Reaper's Arms with some friends. That’s where the newborn Cara told you about was attacking me. He came up behind me and wrap his arm around my waist and literally dragged me out into the alleyway. Once we were out there, he started to attack me. I managed to scream out for help before he locked his teeth into my throat.” Tiger touches the spot he had bitten into her skin and vein.

“Then what happened.” He wanted to know how Tiger came to be traveling with Cara.

“Well, since it was getting to be sunrise. I tied her up and locked her in a room until I woke up. After I woke up and brought her some food. We went to her home, where I found her whole entire family torn apart. I mean whoever killed them, tore their arms and legs out of their sockets.” Cara couldn’t believe someone would do that.

“Did you call the police?” Trey was wondering if he needs his men in the police force to cover this up.

“You got to be kidding me? Call the police about two dead people? They would want to interview me. I have no id and they would try to blame
me for the murders.” Cara wasn’t stupid.

“Are you the only one who went in.” Trey looks towards Cara.

“Yes. I told Tiger to wait outside while I was inside.”

“Give me the address and I’ll send a clean-up crew to handle it. As for informing the proper authorities about what or who killed your parents. That must be submitted to Riker and his crew. They handle all complaints against vampires. In this case, there was a clear violation of the law. There’s nothing that can be done for you, Cara. You agreed to become a vampire. However, you had the right to do what you did with your maker. He tried to make you do something you didn’t agree to. That was your right. However, you’re going to be a target by other Master vampires. They don’t like it when one as old as Leonardo Villard is killed by a newbie. You’re going to have to learn to fight to prove you are dangerous. It will send a message that it would be a fool’s errand to come after you.” Trey looks at Tiger as she yawns.

“As for you Tiger, the vampires had no right to attack and kill your parents. That is against the rules and risk exposing us. Therefore, Riker will be informed, and he will say how this matter will be handled. Until then, you are under my pack’s protection and you can stay at my place till this matter is settled.” Trey figures she’ll be safe with his pack guarding her.

“Will Cara be allowed to stay with me?” Tiger looks over at Cara.

Trey thinks about it for a second. He looks at Cara and tries to figure out if it would be advisable to let her stay with him.

“I feel that wouldn’t be advisable. However, she may stay at one of our safe houses with a few guards for protection.” Trey didn’t want to take the chance of his people being attack.

“Then, I want to stay with her. I trust her, I don’t trust you.” Tiger didn’t feel safe without Cara being near her.

“Very well.” Trey felt a little angry about what she said, but he understood why she felt that way.

By the end of the night, Trey and his people take Cara and Tiger to a safe house. It had a basement that Cara could lock from her side. They also informed Riker and he said that King Quail's group was in the area and they would be handling the investigation and punishment.
King’s wife was a vampire and she had full council power to disband or kill a kiss and their marker.

Trey has never met the members of Team Four, but the rumors he has heard of them. They weren’t people to be messed with. He had orders to protect Tiger Robinson and Cara till the matter was taken care of.

Interesting beginning and I

Interesting beginning and I will most definitely be waiting for more chapters to appear.

Looks really cool

I wonder what will happen with a human and vamp hanging out but this is a super cool beginning and I look forward to more.

Rules are rules

Jamie Lee's picture

Violate the rules, or an agreement, and suffer the consequences. Had the Villard told Brandon after being transferred she would become a sex toy, Cara wouldn't be retelling her story. But he paid for stepping over the line.

Several lines were crossed, it seems. The vamp who took Tiger risked exposing everyone. Then killing her parents, more risk of exposure. Riker is going to be busy dishing out punishment.

What's to become of Cara and Tiger if her kiss is hunting her for killing Villard?

Others have feelings too.
