An unexpected kind of love

Laya

"LAYA GET DOWN!" I quickly duck down as Tess throws a stone at a demon lunging at me from the opposite direction. I look over at it lying in a heap and smile at her.

"Thank you dear. I almost missed that one." Tess laughs and we run off together killing any demons that dare get in our way.

In case you don't already know, me and Tess are vampires. For the past 500 years we have been inseparable. I honestly couldn't imagine living throughout eternity without her.

Tess is a tall and muscular woman with dark skin and short curly hair. She was a slave in her human life who was turned into a vampire by a woman that pitied the sad life she was living.

I on the other hand, am rather small with fair skin, but don't let that fool you. With the help of my charms and my small frame I am able to nimbly swoop in and kill my prey without so much as breaking a sweat.

My combat skills are far more advanced than Tess's because i was apart of the royal guard in her human life.

Yes, there are women in the guard.

I was trained to live and fight for the royals when one night, as i was enjoying a night out with some friends, a woman coaxed me into a corner and turned me into a blood sucking vampire.  

At first I was upset because honestly, who wants to be a vampire?

It was a real drag knowing id have to pretty much spend eternity alone. There was no point in creating any new relationships just for me to have to watch them die. Being alone seemed to be the best option.

I was minding my business one night when a group of men approached me as I was passing an alley way.

"Aye there sweetie. What are you doing out here by yourself?" I rolled my eyes and tried to keep walking when one of them blocked my path.

I sighed looking them over unimpressed.  "Listen gentlemen, I have an appointment tonight so if you want to live another day, I suggest you move out of my way."

I go to push through them when suddenly one pushes me against the alley wall and gets in my face.  "Now now precious, what's the hurry?" He pulls out a knife and slices a slit in my skirt cutting my leg a little. "Were only looking for a little fun."

I look down at my ruined skirt and glare at him with my eyes glowing red. "That was my favorite skirt."

Fear plagues his eyes, but it's too late.

In a matter of seconds I slice through each of their necks,ripping out their throats.

I watch as they all fall in a heap and sigh at the condition of my skirt. "Well poo. Now I have to buy a new skirt."

Im about to clean up the scene when I feel a chill run down my spine followed by a voice. "Hey there. I was on my way to help but it seems like you were able to handle things on you're own just fine."

In one swift movement, I raise a dagger up to her throat but meraculously she stops it.

I raise an eyebrow at her as she smirks at me.  "Man you're quick. I was almost a goner."

I scoff and pull my knife away. "Let me guess, another vampire?"

She smiles and points at me. "Bingo. And Here I was thinking you were a damsel in distress." I roll my eyes and go back to moving the bodies completely ignoring her.
