Chapter 10

The next morning I was moved to an estate. The property extends to one-tenth of the island. There were gardeners, security and the works. I was told that my job was hunting vampire hunters. I had a lot of rage in me so I said I will kill every vampire hunter there if they let me kill the man who murdered my mom. They agreed to my terms. They send a gofer to convince him that the government has come to his rescue. He walked out not knowing that the actual guys were stuck in traffic.

He was brought to me and I asked him why he killed the man in the car. He said, "I was told that my version of the super soldier was inefficient. The researchers that made me have heard of a lab that was working cutting-edge technology and with mythological creatures. These will be the next generation of super soldiers. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't obsolete. I want to be a super soldier. I got there to collect the samples. But the samples and the original specimens were destroyed. The building was in ruins and was covered in a cloud of thick smoke. This dude was seen running with a metal briefcase. It had to be the one who had the only sample. He was taking it as proof. I tried to acquire but he had already entrusted someone to dispose of it. I have been looking for it. My marriage to your mother was a cover till I did." I turned into the monster and he knew that I was the one who took the sample before he had arrived. He became the Jekyll monster and we charged at each other to see who was the best.

We fought each other. I grabbed him and flipped him on his back. He grabbed my hair and pulled me under his arm. I felt my hands turn to claws and I ripped his arm off. He screamed in pain and he turned into the full Jekyll monster. I happily turned into a full hybrid monster and we went head to head. I punched him in the diaphragm and watched him cough a few times before he tried to punch me. I was faster than him. He kept moving forward and I backed up till I reached the wall. I quickly climbed it. I wasn't fast enough. He grabbed my leg and I was swung to the floor. I braced for impact. I had enough so I wrapped my leg around his and watched him fall. I stuck my hand claw first into his belly and reached past his diaphragm. I felt my way in his lungs and gripped his heart. He released what I was doing. He tried to pull out my hand and he unknowingly assisted in ripping out his own heart. He gave me a look of surprise. Then his eyes became empty as he died.

I changed back to myself and walked out of the room. I asked one of the abetters to clean up the mess. He called a cleaning crew. I was met with Maeve. She is the head of the house of Morgana. She was fanfare-skinned curvy, had waist-length curly raven hair. She spoke with an accent. I was told she was turned during the eleven years war in Ireland. She was not happy that I was part of Norsemen. She approached me asking if I would join her house. But before I could answer Craig spoke on my behalf. He said something in Irish and she walked away angry.

I was instructed to find a vampire hunter community here in Hawaii. I had to find myself in disguise. I went through a magazine and saw a girl my age posing on one of the pages. I thought she looked amazing. I looked at the mirror and wondered what it would be like to be her. I turned into her. Hair and face matched the girl unmistakably. I was shocked to do anything when the door opened and a gofer came in. He saw me and he screamed intruder. He pulled out his gun to shoot me. I quickly ran behind the bed and pulled my out compact. He showed up so I ran to the bathroom and locked the door. He tried to kick it down. I looked at the pane of glass in the vanity mirror. I focused hard. I desperately wished I was me again. Nothing happened at first but then slowly I saw myself change back. I thought someone was behind me. I turned around to see the gofer staring at me dumbfounded. I gave him the look of death. He apologized and walked mumbling false alarm.

Craig met me outside with a bag of clothes. He was explicit with his instructions. I can't contact him until the job is done. I have to find a way to feed without being discovered. I got out of the property and hopped on the ferry to Honolulu. I have been living here for a year and a half but still this place amazes me.

I searched for a rogue vampire since they are the easiest target for these guys. My next hope is the clubs since they always attract hunters. They will use silver and garlic to kill them. I Google searched recent activities and I found a fat load of nothing. I remembered that there are people who are dedicated to keeping war a secret. I walked into a diner and saw a man wearing an off white T-shirt drinking coffee. What had attracted my attention wasn't that he had a tattoo on his arm. Nor was it the dog tags around his neck. It was the fact that he was a vampire that was talking to humans about hunting vampires. I was intrigued to hear more. He was informed by a gofer that was an informant that a vampire has been sent to kill them all. So be vigilant. This vampire is different from the ones they have met. Whoever it was is stronger than the vampire hunter himself. This unknown person is a local Hawaiian according to his intel so be careful. The vampire-hunting vampire promised to be careful and thanked him for his insight. They both have each other a fist bump and the other guy left to find out more.

I walked past him to the bathroom and changed my look. I pretended to be a hobo and asked him nicely if the seat was taken since there is no other place to sit down. He gave me a bored look and gave me a nod as he inhaled deeply. He was curious about me so he asked me many questions. I had drunk from many people and had their memories so I managed to dupe him. He let his guard down and I was able to prise some info on him.

He was born a vampire because his mother was bitten while she was about to give birth to him. The doctors did a C-section and got him out. She turned into a vampire and tried to kill the doctors. A hunter had been there collecting meds for a rainy day. He killed her and had a friend raise him to be a hunter. When he was old enough he was trained to kill them in honor of his mother. I felt ashamed by his honor so I confessed that I was here to kill the vampire hunters.

He saw the genuineness so he asked me to tell him everything. So I did. He was shocked to hear about the supersoldier thing. I kept the video of the him killing the guy in the car. I showed it to the hunter. He was upset at the sight of his death. I told him that this very monster married my mom as cover and then he killed her. Vengeance had consumed me so I made a promise. He asked me what promise did I make with the vampires. I said that I accidentally promised to kill any vampire hunters they send me to kill if they let me kill the man who murdered my mother. He asked me what I wanted.

I sadly explained that I want to break my promise to hunt vampire hunters. He asked me to prove that I am a vampire. So I opened my mouth and extended my fangs and made my eyes turn red. He froze for moment and he smiled. He said he will help me if I help him find the person who attacked his mother. I explained that I have seen the vampyre hall of records. They don't keep records of people they hunt. Records are only kept of names of gofers and abetters so that the higher ups can decide if they are fit to be vampires. This seemed to intrigue the man.

He asked me if I wanted to be a vampire hunter. He said he can get me a serum that will help curb my thirst. I told him that I have gone through an entire year of therapy so now I only drink blood once every two weeks. It is not for the thirst but for the sake of information. He was curious so I asked for a drop of his blood to explain. He obliged my request. I blinked a few times then I asked for his phone which he gave me looking suspicious. I turned the screen towards him and unlocked his phone. He was shocked. He asked if other vampires can do that and I said that no other vampire I have seen can do it. He asked me if I wanted to be a vampire hunter. I explained that I have already killed a few hunters which means that I am not welcome. He said he will handle it only if I agree to be a hunter. I promised if I am not given any serum. I used therapy and other things to curb my insane thirst and dual personality. He said he will think about it.
