Lady Of The Night (56)

"Who is it?" a soft voice came from the other side of the door. The voice was gentle and melodic with the hint of an accent that Lily did not recognise.

"Good day sir. My name is Lily, and I am with the Hunters Association. May I speak to you for a moment regarding the recent vampire attacks?" Lily politely asked.

There was a brief moment of silence and then the red door slowly opened. 

An elderly man came into view, and he was dressed much differently than the other residents of the village.

He wore a sharp black tuxedo and a plain blue tie that complemented his doe-shaped eyes. 

There was a well trimmed beard covering the bottom half of his chin and the wrinkles on his forehead only added to his charm.

He had the appearance of an elderly gentleman and there was an aura of kindness wrapped around his body.

"Please come inside… you can call me Joseph," the elderly man softly whispered as he gestured for Lily to enter his home.
