Tina was standing against a tree far behind me with a smirk on her face. I pointed at her and said, “okay, let me rephrase my question, what the hell are you?”

She shrugged and said, “our kind don’t have a name and we seem to discover new powers everyday. We just reach a certain age and then stop aging, no one understands it.”

“So you’re a mystery immortal creature with teleporting powers?” I said.

Tina smirked, “Oh I’ve got way more than that.”

I shook my head, “whatever I don’t care, what the hell do you want from me?”

Tina pushed herself off the tree and walked towards me with a teasing little sway of her hips, “every creature has a purpose Bette.”

“What is the purpose of a vampire then T?” I said falling into the same teasing tone.

“T,” she said looking away thoughtfully, “I like it.”

I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

“Not every single creature has a purpose, just like not all humans serve a purpose,” Tina said, “but some of us serve a greater purpose.”

“And I suppose that purpose is what? Massacring an entire city?” I said sarcastically rolling my eyes, “I thought I did enough damage during the American Revolution and Civil War.”

“I don’t think it was a bad thing at all Bette,” Tina said, “you completely obliterated a Confederate base because they discriminated against you.”

“That’s not an excuse to kill hundreds of men!” I cried.

Tina laughed teasingly. What the fuck is so funny! “Maybe I should tell you my purpose, then you wouldn’t be so damn defensive.”

I crossed my arms over my chest and gave her a ‘go ahead’ nod.

“The people of my clan and I are vampire hunters,” Tina said.

I took an instinctive step back.

“Just relax,” she said putting her hands in the air.

“How the fuck do you expect me to relax when you tell me you’re a fucking vampire hunter? I’ve been chased by vampire hunters before and they’re ruthless,” I said.

“My clan doesn’t chase, we just kill and never fail,” Tina said, “but don’t you worry, we only kill vampires of the evil kind.”

“Evil kind?” I said incredulously, “well I’ve killed people. A lot of people. So I guess we’re in for a fight? You guys got tired of keeping the risk alive?”
