The Hunter's Beloved

I wake up to another day, it's not her, I'm not supposed to be with this woman, I watch the woman lying in bed next to me, but something is missing. I get up and get ready for my day, leaving the female sleeping as I go to the adjoining suite.

It's all blur sometimes, it's her smile that shows her pearl white teeth, her obsidian eyes, and her long dark hair that's all I make out the rest is empty.

I feel empty.

I don't know her but for some reason I find myself looking for her. Oh God

I wake Nina but she doesn't budge, gosh she's such a heavy sleeper so I lie next to her waiting, soon

I feel her stirs, when her eyes open, a smile flashed on her face but frown.

"You're up already," I look at the pretty blonde, I nod we understand each other better, hanging with her is like being with your therapist every day.

She's very spontaneous. She smiles getting out of bed to the bathroom

"I blacked out didn't I?" I laugh remembering what happened last night. She is an easy drunk but takes a little to get her wasted, I nod.

" When will you stop blacking out like a school girl when you drink bourbon?" I always have to carry her from the bar. "You're so crazy,"

"And you love it," she smiles flipping her blonde hair before running to the bathroom.

I've lived for over a century now and in that century I feel like a part of me is missing, I'm a man with all the riches one can only think of dreaming, I have the world at my feet, I have mansions, well-established businesses all over the world, and I can easily get anything I want, women literally freeze when I talk to them but an important part of me is missing, a person. Who is she?

Nina comes out wearing a short towel around her, swaying her hips in a seductive matter before standing between my legs biting her lower lips.

"You ready for me?" I nod looking up to her as she traces her finger from my jawline, I groan, enjoying the touch.

"I want you now," she straddles me, looking in my eyes before we both burst out laughing.

Nina is crazy. Why does she always do that, and I find myself playing along every damn time just to appease her.

Calming our laughs she finally gets off me, dropping the towel to the floor to get ready.

"But seriously dude, I'm naked," she reminds gesturing to her nude body.

"I know, you're literally standing in front of me,"

"And you feel nothing at all?" She asks amused, as attractive as she is I really do feel nothing towards her. Yes, I bed women all the time but she and will never be one of them.

"Nope," I answer getting up to pour myself a glass of bourbon. At some point, we almost dated but we thought it would be better to just be friends, I didn’t want to ruin our friendship, it's so very important to me.

We head out of the hotel, and the valet brings my car.

"Oh Lamborghini, " she squeals running to the driver's seat as I toss her the keys, she looks driving sports cars as much as I do.

"Where to?" She asks not taking her eyes off the road.

" At the organization then office," she salutes

"Ok boss," I throw my head against the seat, lately the organization has been a mess, demanding. Training the recruits and teaching them the ropes.

Vampires have been terrorizing humans, using them as blood banks, some even kill but luckily we are there to stop it.

"Hosea and the council want us to go West," but we were there last year

"Stop," I order her, she oblige, I hear faint sobs and get out of the car, taking in my surroundings, it feels wrong here, this part of the city is deserted. Nina follows suit, drawing out her gun, I go deeper into the alley, and the smell of vampires stronger.

To busy with feeding on some human girl to notice our arrival, but once he does, he backs away holding the young girl tighter around the neck. He gasps when our eyes meet they gasp.

"Deandre Caesar, the Ultimate hunter." I can see the fear in his eyes making him tighten his hold on the girl who whimpers as tears freely falls from her face, looking very scared. I look at the other girl who is struggling in the older man's hold.

"Let us go or they die," the older one with the boy says snarling. But I move closer.

"Don't try me hunter, but I promise if we get out alive, we'll let them go," he says once again, his voice trembling this time and not as menacing as the first time.

I get the small knife in my hand, throwing it with force and it lands right in the vampire's heart. The other female screams lunging at me but before she can come close my partner fills her head with bullets leaving us with the younger vampire, shaking still holding the girl

"Let .. me - me go," he stutters

"Let her go first," he nods slowly doing that with a sigh and tries to move past us, but before he can leave, with my inhuman speed I grab him and swiftly snap his neck.

"They should know you don't make deals with vampires," I nod, Indeed, I'd never, I've been exterminating vampires for a century now, they know me to not make deals with them, they are a plague in the society, they kill and feed like human lives means nothing at all.

And with each kill I make, the desire to hunt them grows and I feel myself getting stronger and more powerful. Unlike other hunters, I have supernatural power. I'm ten times better than vampires.

So they call me the Ultimate hunter, I love how they quiver in fear at the sight of me

My attention goes to the sobbing young adults, assessing their wounds, they will heal but for now, we have to be taken to a hospital at the organization and erase their memories. The people don't need to know about all these monsters roaming around their country, that’s why we are here to keep them safe and one by one we will rid of vampires.

The other girl is bleeding profusely so I carry her, running through the city, building in a blur and the girl has her eyes shut, scared.

I want them all gone, none one left.
