Vampire Hunters Love

Chapter 1

I'm at home with my parents. I grab my phone; I finished early today with all my assignments from my parents. I scroll through some music i found in my very limited free time and found a song that I can definitely relate too. Ronnie Radke's song called watch the world burn. I hear footsteps coming up the stairs and I quickly swipe out of my music app.  

My mother pokes her head into my room, with my back to her, obviously I can feel her staring at me very concerned. I turn around but when I do, I can see her face is not as stoic as it usually is, never giving anything away too easily or to quick, this time was different. I meet her eyes. She looks as if she's looking through me, it takes a lot to make my mom show how truly unnerved she is.

"Yes mom?"

I say nonchalantly. She finally looks up at me, Her stoic expression back in place.

"I need you to come downstairs with me and your father"

She turns away immediately after and walks back down the stairs. Curiosity really has my brain working overtime, my parents never call me down to them together, usually one of them individually comes to me with whatever they need me to do.  Today feels different for some reason that I can't explain. I walk out my bedroom and down the hard wood stairs, creaking softly with every step to let my parents know I'm coming. 

I make it to the final step and enter into the living room, everything as silent as usual, my parents work every day, very dedicated to their jobs. I approach the threshold that separates the living room from the dining room. Sitting at the table next to each other but very still and silent, as much as it has become normal for them to be this silent, I can't help but feel like this time it's very different.

My dad nods to me and motions for me to sit down across from them, as I would any other time that I am being given a task to follow from the orders of the Vampire hunter leaders. I take a seat on the hard wood chair. My mom still looks very much concerned, while my dad is still unreadable. He's always been the stronger one in our family. I wait patiently for them. 

"Rose"

He says in his commanding tone. I nod my head to him. I have to admit even now the silence that I have grown accustomed to is very eerie today. 

"You've been given the assignment to observe the Lloyd family."

I am fearless, I was trained this way from when I was young. I do as I am told, and I always follow through. 

"Dad... what do you mean by observe?"

I see my mother look quickly at him, but her nervousness had stopped. 

"You are to get close to them and see what they are doing, nothing more, think of it as a simple check in task, if anything is off, report back to us or if they are doing something they shouldn't then do as you normally would and take them out."

I nod my head in agreeance. This sounds like a very simple task, should be no problem. I excuse myself from the table and head back upstairs to my room to get ready. I find my black V-neck shirt then I pull on my high waisted skinny jeans, great for kicking ass if needed and also quite fashionable. I leave my long dark brown hair, that falls to half my back, down. I put on my full black converse, my personal favorite. I look in the mirror, I love my hourglass figure it always makes my clothes look good on me. I do a turn around and approve of my choice. I breathe out a sigh.

I head back downstairs and into the living room, I notice they had already left for whatever they had been assigned. I see the file folder sitting on the coffee table and plop down on the couch. It feels good when they're not here sometimes, I could do whatever I want while their gone but I know I have more important things to be doing now.  I open the folder, there's no face picture or profile cover.

"Strange"

I say out loud to myself. I bite on my bottom lip, a nervous habit I developed. How am I supposed to know who to watch out for if I don't have a face. I grunt to myself. There's only 2 pages in the folder, I see these vampires are hard to gain information on, I wonder why they would assign me this without much information, it would be hard alone for even people like my parents with as much experience they have to do this. 

I close the folder, contemplating. The only information I have is that they go to the same college as me. This sends a dangerous chill through my body. He goes to the same college I do but I never knew this whole time and I could have been in danger?!? I slam the papers down on the coffee table, standing up I pace back and forth. How could I have not known this whole time, but I would have sensed it though if that was true, I can see all the signs of a vampire that are within range by observing, but if I don't have a face or picture to put a name to then how can I know if I'm possibly in danger. 

Damn.....I'm going to have to go back to my college, just when I thought that I was catching a break now my school life and my job just became a lot harder. I huff out a breath and run my hand through my hair, visibly frustrated. I go upstairs and grab my blue school bag, I run downstairs and stuff the paper inside the folder and then into my bag.
