The hunter part 1
My name is holly walkman I’m a vampire hunter I been hunting them since I was a little girl. My dad had always taken me with him when he went hunting at night, he always told me that hunting was in our blood. One day my dad didn’t let me go with him on one of his hunting trips he said it was too dangerous to keep an eye on me. Before he left he promised me he would come back, But he never returned and that when I knew that something had gone wrong, when he didnt come back; I had to go and live with with one of his hunting buddies, I was only five. I knew that the vampires had killed my father so now I hunt for him.
I killed over 100 vampires in five years, I haven’t had a boyfriend in four years my last one was killed on a hunting trip. I have sworn to never fall in love again, Until I found and killed the vampires who took my dad away from me. Then I’ll be willing to settle down but, for now I carry on hunting down the blood suckers that haunt the streets at night. The myths about vamps not being able to walk in the sunlight is so not true, there walk among us; you wouldnt be able to recongnize one unless you were brought up huntimng like was, and most the other men and women who hunt them. Most of the hunters who I meet along the road normally hunt in the day time because vamps are less powerful but I find it easier to hunt at night. There are less innocent people who will get in the way of me when I’m killing.
As i stepped through my hotel room door, my phone rang I looked down at the caller ID. It was Tim he don’t normally call unless it was important I answer it after the fifth ring “hey Tim what’s up” I hear Tim start to cough before he says anything to me “hey Hols I think I got a lead on that vamp you been looking for”. When i heard Tim words it made me smile to myself finally now that i know where the bloodsuckers are I can finaly finish what my dad statrted. There won’t hide from me “so.... Tim what the lead then” I hear him cough again I wonder if had a cough “the last time someone saw him he was in New York”. I was about to say something but the line went dead that was a bit odd but I didn't take to much notice inti though. I called the airport to get a ticket to New York tonight, I wanted to get a head start and get ready for the show down. It was about 1am when I boarded the plane it was going to be a long flight, but I had a lot of time to think through my stragity.

All I remember was is being hit around the head and everything going black, then I waking up in dark room tided to a chair. The room smelled like something rotting the thing that had hit me around the head must have notice the movement I had made because suddenly the room was filled with bright lights. Suddenly the vamp that I been chasing not too long ago was right in front of my view that was a bit blury, I tried to focus my eyes as their adjusted to the lights. He smiles at me I could see his bright white teeth “ah your awake sunshine” he smirks again and steps out the way of my vision so I could see the room was full of vampires. Why were there just staring at me by now there would have killed me one of the vamp that crowded around my chair spoke“so... Tim that your name right” I just nodded. The one who spoke had step forward i was sure this one was in charge because everyone stepped back a bit when he stared at them “so you’re wondering why we haven’t killed you yet. Well we need you to bring someone to us”. Who the hell do there want “who do you want” my voice came out a bit to high. One more stepped forward he was smiling but didn't get to close to the boss “your little friend holly walkman” I just stared at them. What did there want with her “what do you think I would bring her to you” the one who just stepped forward held out a picture. A picture of my family “if you don’t help us your family will pay the price so do we have a deal or not” I was torn between my loving family and holly who I had adopted when her father went missing. I didn’t want to do this to holly, but I had no choice my family couldn't defend themself like holly could up against vamps; I didn't want to bring my children into this bussiness. I nodded another one stepped forward when the leader signaled with his hand. The person was holding my cell phone in his hand he dialled hollys number and put it up to my ear. Please don’t pick up please don’t pick up I kept saying that. to most of the hunters who cross her path she seems unbreakable and tough but she only seventeen and deep down she just a scared little girl, who need protecting. I watched her grow up to be a strong girl but she can be breakable, I seen it in her eyes when she comes and visit me I see the pain in her big brown eyes.
The phone just kept ringing I breathed out a sighn of relief, but I spoke to soon her charming voice spoke down the other line “hey Tim what’s up” I started to choke and cough down the phone. I could hear her moving round on the other line “hey Hols I think I got a lead on that vamp you been looking for”. She was quite for a moment and I didn’t want be the first to talk “so... Tim what’s the lead then” I started to cough again. I felt a lump moving up my throat I swallowed it down “the last time someone saw him was in New York” I was about to say something in hunter terms but the vamp who was holding the phone snapped it shut and stepped back. Now I hope she has a brilliant plan if she gets ambushed and I wish they would kill me or something before they bring her here. Every single one of them left the room and turned off the light so the room went pitch black again and I couldn't see anything. So I was left with feeling guilty about putting Holly in danger after promising her that I would keep her safe even though that was ages ago when she just lost her dad. I still feel like I should be there to keep her out of trouble, even if she tells me she can take care of herself. I beg for someone to keep her safe from what I just done to her and if she lives through this I hope she will forgive for doing it to her.

When the plane landed at the airport I stumbled off it tired from the lack of sleep I had on the plane, because of the little kid who sat next to me wouldn't stop hitting me with his teddy. I only brought a rucksack with all the weapons I needed for the fight of my life. The thing I had to do before I could get to my hotel is get past the guards with my weapons. It was fine in the other airport because I had a friend working there,he would pass me with an all clear. I went into the bathroom and got my weapons out of my rucksack left the wooden stakes in there but got the metal knifes and swords out and rolled them up in sponge and plastic. After I did that I put them back in the rucksack and walked out of the bathroom.
When I was far away from the airport I sat down at a bench and got out my knifes and swords to position them somewhere that would be easier for me to get to in bad situation. The swords over lapped on my back and the knifes were positioned inside my high heel boots. Then I got out my stakes out and put them either side of my hips now I ready to head off in the night. Sleep can wait till the morning.
As I was turning the corner to an alley something knocked me to the floor I turned on to my back to see the figure move into the shadows. I jumped up to my feet and grabbed for my swords, I pulled them out the swords made a scratching sound when there moved against each other. I span round and the figure moved over to the other side I span the swords in my hand and lunged for it and came crashing down on the leech. I had the thing in my reach when something knocked me flying across the floor and made me collide with the garbage bin. I jump back to my feet to find I was surrounded by about five vamps I felt a bit dizzy from where my head collided with the corner of the garbage bin, I think I could at least kill four of them before getting court by the fifth one. I lunged for one of them my sword swooping through the air and came down across his neck.I easily chopped his head off, his body slumped to the floor as it started to burn. I watched as he turned to ash and the flames dieing down. Where he was standing just moments ago there was a different vampire there were five again. I went for the vamp that just showed up but the one behind me had grabbed my waist and span me around into a wall. I fell to the floor, before I could get up the vampire who just chucked me into the wall jumped on top of me.
