My so called life has always been about one thing and one thing only-Hunting. My childhood a boot camp, my teenage years a war zone. No boyfriends, no prom-no friends at all. I never in my life thought I would find 6 other people that do this, people to share this life with. Not like you can just walk up and tell someone ‘Hey, I am a vampire hunter’ and expect a good response. Most people don’t even believe they are real.
My father always told me I would be alone, then I would die. We all fall into the hands of evil eventually, is what he told me. Don’t be shocked when it happens, he said. I wasn’t shocked when they died, I was sad. I was so alone in the world. The very description of orphan..that was me.
Here and now, in this demon bar 6 new players entered my life and for the first time I felt genuine excitement, happiness if you will. A sadness was slowly lifting from me with every moment. No matter how battered and bruised I was-I was genuinely happy to not be alone anymore. Strength in numbers. Abby didn’t seem all that thrilled about the new additions, but I was.
I was also bleeding fairly heavily, so it could be blood loss talking. This time there were people to help me when I got hurt. I wouldn’t have to hobble back alone and try to sew myself up. 7 strong people might be hard to mesh together-but once we do I think we will be a force even the demons will fear.
