Kit was following the two women and hearing one talk about a vampire attack. Such a notion skipped right over Kit’s head. Vampires were all fake stories to make children fear the dark and give a spooky touch to Halloween. This had to be a mistake, they must be mistaken, or they were nuts.

An odd pair of eyes watched the three move across the town. The slits of blood shot pupils starred at the three like a wolf looks at a deer or a lion a gazelle. More eyes focused on the trio as they moved and hungry mouths opened to reveal long canine teeth dripping with fresh blood. The three were young too, that always made the blood taste sweeter.

The three continued to move across the town to find somewhere to shelter themselves. Kit was about ready to just turn and walk home. These women were insane, vampires did not exist.
“Wait one minute! This is crazy vampire don’t….”
The boy was caught off by a low growl that came from behind him. Then the growl multiplied and seemed to be all around them. Shadows began to walk out of the darker alleys and side streets. They walked casually towards the three humans and showed no fear. There were so many of them it seemed surreal. At least 20 were behind them, another 20 to there right came from the alleys, 30 or so from the left jumped down from roof tops, and 40 walked towards them from the front. All exits where blocked and all the colored drained from Kitsune’s face. The woman with the sword looked like she could handle some of them, but there were so many.
A blast came from in front of them, and a man could be seen walking there way. The figures in front of them scattered and reformed closer to the oncoming man. Another blast and two of the shadowy figures just seemed to vanish, like into to dust. Another shot and another one went to dust. The man was now easy to see and close enough to hear.
“good evening. Shall we move?”
He raised a hand holding a sawed off double barreled shot gun and fired at one of the figures at random. He put that weapon in a side holster and clicked open a similar weapon in his other hand. Two smoking shells feel from the barrels and two fresh ones replaced it. He quickly changed out the weapon and reloaded the other. The man turned and waited on the others.
