Hunting chapter 1

A scream. My mother's scream came from downstairs and I ran out my room to her. "Mommy! Why are you screaming?" I asked and walked into the kitchen. There she was. A tall man was holding her limp body. The man looked over at me and smiled. Blood covered his mouth and his fangs where shining in the light of the lamp. I looked in horror at him, who was this guy? What happened to my mother? The guy walked over to me and dropped the lifeless body of my mother on the ground. I stepped backwards but the man was suddenly behind me. I could feel his breath in my neck.

"You smell so delicious.. even better then your mother." the man's voice was soft but I knew he was dangerous. I wanted to run but I couldn't move, my body refused to even move an inch. The man turned me around and I looked straight into his dark cold eyes. He smiled and licked his fangs.

"W-what are you?" I asked and he started laughing, an evil dark laugh.

"I'm a vampire, kid. And you know what I do? I drink blood of people, like the blood of your mother and in a few minutes I'll drink your blood too." He smiled at me and I looked back at my mother that was lying on the ground.

"B-but she c-can't be.." I couldn't say the word, she couldn't be! Five minutes ago I talked to her, she was making dinner for us, we where going to have a family night.

"She is, your mother is dead. D-e-a-d, gone. Just look at her if you want." the man and puched me to her and I looked at her face, her eyes where open in horror.

"Mama? Mama! Please mama say something!" I screamed and knelt beside her.

"You see kid she is gone, I killed her." he laughed. Tears appeared in my eyes, I stood up and walked to the man.

"How could you! She is my mother, she was the only one I had!" I shouted with tears streaming down my cheek. The man grapped me by my shirt pulled me up into the air.

"I'll help you with that problem kid, say goodbye to your little life." the man smiled and I could see his fangs, white and sharp in his mouth. I wanted to scream but his fangs where already in my neck. Pain flowed trough my body and more tears appeared in my eyes.

"Pl-please s-stop you're h-hurting me.." I whispered. The man put his fangs out of my neck and smiled.

"I'm sorry kid but you taste too delicious, your blood is so sweet." he started to drink and I could feel how my body was losing his power. Pain was everywhere, I wanted to stop him but I couldn't, I even couldn't move my arms. Then I heared the door open and I saw the figure of an other man. The man that was holding me let me go and I fell on the ground. I felled too weak to scream but there was so much pain. I looked at the man that walked in and at the vampire.

"Your days end here vampire, you will not take the innocent life of that child." he said and pointing a gun at him.

"Aww there you are, Bryar my old friend, where have you been?" the vampire smiled.

"I'm not your friend Way, you took too many innocent lives and I'm here to stop you." Bryar said and fired the gun at the vampire. He started screaming and covered the wound on his arm with his hand.

"I'll come back Bryar, that boy will be mine." Way said and disapeared.

Bryar ran over to me and put something on the wound in my neck. "Hé kiddo, can you hear me? You are safe now, I'll protect you." he said and I looked at him.

"Wh-who was that?" I whispered to him and Bryar lifted me up.

"Donald Way, the oldest one in the Way family and a vampire. I'm Bob Bryar and a vampire slayer, I hunt vampires like him and kill them so they can't hurt no one anymore.." Bryar said and looked down at me. ".. but I wasn't in time here to save your mother and I'm sorry for that. I promise you I'll hunt that vampire down even if it is the last thing I do. You come with me, I'll protect you, I'll never let them hurt you, I promise." Bryar carried me out of the house in his arms and walked down the dark street.

"Th-thank you.." I said and he looked at me.

"What is your name?" he asked.

"Frank, Frank Iero." I said and he nodded. I felt still weak and the pain in my neck was still there.

"Frank try to sleep, the pain will be less then." He said and I closed my eyes. The picture of my mother in the man's arms was still there. Her eyes open in horror, her scream that will hunt me in my dreams forever.

I opened my eyes and looked at the dark ceiling. Same dream, every single night. The memory of when I was six still hunts me in my dreams. Even now fourteen years later. I got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom. I looked into the mirror and looked at myself. The wound in my neck was now covered with a scorpion tattoo. I signed and turned the shower on. I took off my clothes and stepped under the hot water. "Ah…just right." I sighed as the water flowed down my body, relaxing all my muscles. I stood there for a few minutes, feeling the water soak every inch of my being before I reached down and grabbed the shampoo bottle. After the shower I put my clothes on and walked downstairs.

"Good evening Frank, any plans for tonight?" Bryar asked while he was drinking his coffee.

"Same as always." I smiled to him and he nodded. After Bryar took me in he learned me how to kill a vampire. Seven years ago I went with him on my first hunt and killed my first vampire. That same year we saw the vampire that ruined my life. Donald Way was feeding on a young girl. We weren't in time to save her but Bob killed him. That basterd finally got what he deserved. I didn't get my mother with it back, but it's good to know he is gone forever.

"Where are you thinking about?" I looked up at Bryar.

"Nothing.." I said and took an other sip of my coffee.

"Frank I know you longer then today, what is on your mind." he grossed his arms over his chest and looked at me. I sighed and put my coffee back on the table.

"It's just.. I was thinking of him again.." I said quiet and looked at the table.

"Frank, it happened a while ago and I know it it hard to forget it but you have to let it go. And he is dead so he can't hurt anyone anymore." I looked up at him and smiled.

"I know.. I think I'm gonna go and do my work." I stood up and walked to the door. I picked up my two guns and picked three spicks and put them on my belt. "See you in the morning Bob." I shouted and walked out of the door. It was dark and cold night here in New Jersey. I walked down to the park, at this time of the night there were always one or two vampires. After a few minutes I heard someone walking behind me. A vampire. In a second it stood in front of me. She had long brown hair and green eyes. She smiled at me. Those sick animals.

"Where are you going honey? Looking for company?" she said in a soft voice and wrapped her arms around me. "You smell so.. delicious." she smiled and I saw her fangs. I pushed her away and pointed my gun at her before I fired it a few times. I hit her and she fell on the ground in pain. I smiled, holy water always burns their skin, and ran to her and put one of the spickes into her heart. She screamed before she turned into ashes. I smiled again and stood up. That was one. I walked further and looked around me. after hours of walking through the city I saw the sun came up behind the buildings and I knew that there will be no more vampires here by now. I sighed and walked back to Bryar's house.

"How was work today Frank?" his voice came from down stairs. I walked into the basement and saw him working on more stuff to kill vampires.

"Usual.." I sighed and walked over to him.

"I have something to tell you Frank.." Bryar said and turned around. ".. someone said to me that the Way family is back in town, this time it are only the two sons of Donald." He gave me two pictures and I looked at them. "Gerard Arthur Way and Micheal James Way. The Way brothers are really close and hard to kill, really dangerous." I looked at the two. One of them was tall and skinny with brown hair and glasses on. The other was shorther then the first one but had long jet black hair and green/brown eyes. Both where very pale, but they were vampires so it's normal, and they were in black.

"I'll take care of them." I said and looked up at him.

"Are you sure Frank? I mean those two are really dangerous." I nodded at him and he sighed. "Alright then.. if you want it." he walked back to the table and gave me a letter. "This is the letter I got from the person who said it to me. Read it and we'll see tonight what we are gonna do with it." he said and I nodded again. I went upstairs to my room and lay on my bed. The letter as still sealed but I didn't want to open it. In it would stand about the sons of the guy that murdered my mother. But.. I had to kill them, for my mother. I sighed and put the letter on my nightstand. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
