The detective told me of a young woman that was found dead on the beach front, her neck was ripped out and her body was drained of blood, I knew exactly what was the killer, it was a vampire, but could I get involved, as my thoughts ran through my mind the detective asked me,<br/><br/>"Do you believe in vampires?"<br/><br/>His question almost knocked me off my feet, if only he knew he was actually talking to one, an old one yes, but I was one just the same, the detective went on<br/><br/>"Our forensic department has come up with this crazy idea that a vampire is running loose on the beach front, it seems the only logical answer to the deaths they say,"<br/><br/>The detective started to laugh aloud as if it was such a joke, but when he saw I wasn't laughing, he stopped and looked at me, saying,<br/><br/>"You do believe in vampires? Don't you?"<br/><br/>I nodded and turned my back on him, I had to take action because this vampire is affecting my business,<br/><br/>"Detective Jones," I said, "I know many things about vampires and their ways, I will deal with your problem if you wish, but there must be no questions towards me, in fact, if you send one of your officers to the parking lot right now you  will catch a glimpse of your vampire, but do not approach him because they will die."<br/><br/>The detective went straight on to his radio, and got a reply of someone or something that moved at great speed and was impossible to follow, the detective turned towards me and with a quizzical look asked,<br/><br/>"Ok sir, you are going to have to tell me something to keep me from asking any questions of you,"<br/><br/>I smiled as I faced the detective, my fangs grew, he stumbled back against the wall and pulled his gun,<br/><br/>"Your gun can't hurt me detective and if you say anything who will believe you?" I laughed, "detective, put your gun away and sit down, I am not going to hurt you it has been many years since I have hurt anyone, what you have killing here is a young vampire I will find him or her and deal with it for you,"<br/><br/>The detective nodded and with a stumble from his chair walked backwards towards the door, I smiled to myself and watched as he left my office, I tidied some paperwork on my desk.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;">______o0o_______</div><br/><br/>The police left the club, and it wasn't long after it was closing time, the staff cleaned up and after they went home I thought I would take a walk along the beach front, it was long before I came across the area where the woman was killed, the tapes were flapping around in the breeze.<br/><br/>I stiffed the air and the smell of vampire was still quite fresh, I felt a tingle on the back of my neck, it was female, she was near, she was watching me, I could feel her presence, and with the blink of an eye I moved to where she was hiding, I grabbed her by the throat and lifted her from the ground, she fought with a zealousness that I hadn't felt for over a thousand years, I changed into my vampire form, saying<br/><br/>"My name is Marius, I am overlord of all vampires, what are you doing here?"<br/><br/>She stopped struggling and I let her go, she got on her knees and pleaded with me not to hurt her, lifting her up I told her I wasn't going to hurt her, I wanted to hear where she come from.<br/><br/>I listened to her story that she was on a ship with her master but he threw her overboard when she couldn't control her urge to feed, she ended up here and has been living in the waste outlet from the sewage system, she told me her name was Rebecca she was eighteen or was when she was taken by her master, she begged me to help her, I told her I would help her as long as she done exactly what I told her, including controlling her urge to feed, firstly though she had to clean up, she smelt awful.
