know.
“Die, ghoul!” said the man, slicing his sword
in downwards arc as a ghoul came lunging at him from the trees.
The blade cut deep, running along the ghoul’s
side. Blood splattered against the man’s face, as the ghoul
collapsed to the ground.
The ghoul shrieked in pain, writhing in agony
on the ground. The blood gushed from his body, spewing all over the
foliage around him. Attempting to crawl away, he cried out for his
master.
“Your master will not be coming for you,” the
man said. “No one will be coming for you.”
The ghoul grasped at the nearest oak tree,
pulling himself along, as he left behind a trail of blood and guts.
The vampire blood would sustain him for awhile, but unless he
received a fresh dose of blood, he wouldn’t last long.
“I want your master to know who did this,”
said the man, taking off his Stetson as he knelt down beside the
ghoul. “My name is Samuel Anderson, and I’m coming for him.”

“You’re wake, finally,” said Emily, walking
out of the kitchen. “…Another rough night?”
Emily handed Tyler a glass of water, as he
lay on the couch, dripping with sweat. His eyes were bloodshot from
lack of sleep, and his hands, shaky, as he brought the drink up to
his lips.
“It’s been a week now, and I still keep
having these nightmares,” said Tyler, sitting up. “I don’t know
what’s wrong with me, Emily, I really don’t.”
Tyler brought his hands to his head, and
began sobbing. His hands trembled as the tears dribbled down his
face.
Emily sat down beside him, and held him
gently. She looked him deeply in the eyes, and said, “We all feel
that way, Tyler. Julia meant the world to all of us.”
“Why her, though?” Tyler asked. “What did she
ever do to anyone?”
“…Because of me,” answered Emily, looking
down to the floor in sadness. “Julia died, because I was too scared
to stand up for myself.”
“Don’t blame yourself, Emily,” said Tyler,
bringing his hands down from his face. “Julia wouldn’t have wanted
that.”
“There’s something I’ve been too afraid to
ask you,” said Tyler, rising to his feet. “What are you? What is a summoner exactly?”
“I wish I knew the answer to that,” said
Emily, with her hands caressing her brow. “All I know is that
everyone wants me dead.”
“Why don’t you just pack up and leave?” Tyler
asked, picking up a bat beside the couch, which hadn’t left his
side since the initial attack.
“Where would I go? Should I go to college,
and hope they don’t take down a hundred students on their way to
me?” asked Emily, trembling violently. “I have nowhere to run! All
I can do is wait until they come looking for me again! What kind of
life is that?”
This time it was Tyler who came to aid of the
sobbing Emily. He put the bat down, and tried to comfort her,
resting her head on his brawny shoulder. He rubbed her back
comfortingly, and said, “C’mon now, Emily, don’t cry. Everything’s
going to be fine. Didn’t you just finish telling me that?”
Emily looked up towards Tyler, who was
smiling at her. She playfully pushed him aside, and thanked him for
cheering her up.
“So I take it you’ve decided to stay home
from school?” Tyler asked. “Well at least it will be comforting to
know you’re close by, incase trouble comes crawling back.”
Tyler walked in the kitchen, sat down, and
grabbed the local newspaper.
“It’s been awhile since I’ve read this
thing,” said Tyler, thumbing through the sports section.
“It’s been awhile since you’ve left the
house,” Emily replied.
“Wait…what’s this?” asked Tyler, flipping to
the cover. “Oh my god, Emily; what the hell is going on?”
“The attacks have been happening since Simeon
died,” said Emily, sitting down across from him. “Innocent
civilians have been found, torn apart in the woods. Their bodies
were strewn about the forest, for everyone to find.”
“What do you think it is?”
“Die, ghoul!” said the man, slicing his sword
in downwards arc as a ghoul came lunging at him from the trees.
The blade cut deep, running along the ghoul’s
side. Blood splattered against the man’s face, as the ghoul
