Vampire and Hunter part 1

[cw: stalking, kidnapping]

Zoe was walking down a quiet when out of the corner of her eye she spots a strange lady following her at a distance, she knew this was vampire territory and so steeled her self for a hunt, she had been trained for this exact scenario and slowly walked around a nearby corner to wait for the vampire to jump her...

But it never did, she waited for a good few minutes and to her surprise the vampire didn’t round the corner after her. But her mistake came when she looked around the corner expecting to see nothing but came face to face with a tall imposing figure; the vampire stood at 6’4” towering over the 5’4” tall Zoe, her brown hair shone in the moonlight with burgundy undertones, her crimson eyes looked at Zoe with a piercing gaze that seemed to freeze the poor girl in place. The vampire wore jeans a band shirt and a zip up hoodie making her look disheveled compared to Zoe who was wearing white blouse tucked into a long black skirt with tights underneath, she was returning home from her office job after all.

The vampire seemed to know what Zoe had planned and anticipated her move, Zoe knowing she couldn’t out run a vampire decided to go on the offensive, but as she threw her first punch she felt her hand stop as the vampire caught her wrist, ‘tch tch tch’ she tutted raising Zoe’s wrist with her hand, ‘what have we here? a little hunter that thinks she has us figured out? Your little trick might have fooled my spawn but not me’ the vampire spoke in low measured voice. Zoe tried to struggle her hand free once the vampire tightened her grip and a wave of pain ran up Zoe’s arm from the site of the grip. ‘Come little hunter I think you enjoy a night in my care’ the vampire said before in a flash restraining Zoe using duct tape on her mouth and her wrists and ankles so that she couldn’t squirm as they disappeared into the night.

Untitled Mech story (pilot)

The cockpit is silent and bathed in a red glow as Avalon sails through the air towards the atmosphere, her hand on the hilt of her sword now sitting in its "Stone".

'Avalon you have about ten seconds before hitting space' crackled the voice in her cockpit, her stomach twisting and turning from not just the g-force but the anxiety of starting her ARC suit, what if this doesn't work? She thinks what if i plummet back down she knows better than to let her anxiety rule her, she is a Ruler-Class pilot after all and she had trained for this moment; She is Avalon wielder of Excaliber and pilot of the ARC suit Aegis.

'5 seconds Avalon be ready to soul charge' the voice chimmed in again with a worse crackle than before, Aegis limply sailing out of the atmosphere, Avalon counted down on her head as her now sweating hand held the hilt of Excaliber.

Avalon felt the shift as Aegis finished its ascension, she grips the hilt firmly and and channels her soul into the sword; a pale green glow emitting from the visable protions of the blade as channels transport her soul around the cockpit.

She feels the suit begin to fall back into the planets orbit c'mon...

A loud boom sounds as the falling stops and the red glow of the cockpit is replaced by the pale green glow of Avalon's soul energy 'core online, sensory systems online, computer online, weapons platform online. Welcome Avalon' the suits onboard computer says to Avalon's relief; a successful launch.

'This is Ruler-Class pilot Avalon Pendragon reporting in: we have a successful launch of the ARC suit Aegis' Avalon says not bothering to hide the relief in her voice, with this her people now stood a far better chance.

'Very good my Queen now return to the barracks for debreifing' the voice from before speaks clearly and concisely without any of the prior crackling.

'Training sim start' said the computerised voice of the training deck.

Avalon stood and drew Excaliber from her side; a long sword of exquist make, its pummel and hilt made from a dark steel, its grip wrapped in an alabaster leather, the blade a shining reflective grey with vein like channels covering its length.

As Avalon drew her blade she imbued it with her soul performing a "Soul Charge" a pale green light pulsed down the length of the blade only its veins.

Avalon dashes forward sword at the ready, charging the vaguely human holo-drones.

She blinks from point to another leaving behind motes of pale green light as she goes, she slashes with her sword the same pale green flashing out of her blade at three drones to her right.

Blink

She plunges her blade into another after appearing above it.

Slash

Four more dead from a blade of light.

She reaches the finale two holo-drones and lunges at the left one with her blade stabbing its neck fataly before flicking her blade out and slahsing the other holo-drones neck, decapitating both in the process.

'Sim completed, finishing time 00:00:07.32 seconds. The time to beat is 00:00:03.92 held by Veronica' the computer read out her time and the time to beat, Avalon was breathing heavily as sweat dropped from her chin onto her clothing and the floor, Excaliber pulsing with red light.

Avalon looks up at the time and says exhaustion obvious in her voice:

'Will I ever be better than you?'
