CLICK...CLICK CLICK CLICK. Vinyl glanced up, chuckling quietly.

"Wow, big bad Hunter, can't fire a gun." she laughed, shrugging Cheerilee's foot off of her and sitting up. Cheerilee grit her teeth, twirling the pistol around and holding it like a small club.

"You are seriously batshit crazy lady, ya know that?" Vinyl asked as she stood.

"Stop it!" Octavia yelled. "Look! She gave me the list! She's had every chance to show herself as a monster and instead she allows us in here with our weapons and doesn't even put up a fight?"

Cheerilee wasn't buying it though.

"You're a vampire, just some sack of undead flesh feeding off of humankind. What do you get out of all this?" she demanded.

"I already told you. Big Boss killed my father. He ruined House Filigree and he's dragging innocent people off the streets and turning them into cattle. You can think whatever the hell you want about me or about vampires in general. I don't give a damn. But don't put me in the same boat as that sick fuck." Vinyl spat. She drew the dagger from her coat and stabbed it into the table, turning her back on Cheerilee. The Hunter chewed her lip for a moment.

"And if I choose to believe you? What then? How can I be sure you won't stab us in the back?"

"Look, I get it. I'm a vampire, I'm the bad guy, I'm the big bad monster. Its always the same with Hunters. Some freak ruined your life and you gotta take it out on all of us. You know what, I get it!" Vinyl laughed, tears in her eyes.

"Cause I feel the same damn way...my father was a good man...the greatest I ever knew. He fought to make peace and it got him stabbed in the back by his best fucking friend." Vinyl sniffed, clearing her throat and clenching her fists.

"I'll make you a deal. You help me tear down Big Boss, and I'll give you a ten second head start." Cheerilee spoke up. Vinyl chuckled, shaking her head.

"Fine. As long as that bastard goes down."

Cheerilee scanned every inch of the room, realizing it was completely sealed off from the world, several wards and powerful magic kept it from peering eyes.

"Miss Cheerilee...aren't these the same symbols you drew before?" Octavia asked, pointing to a patch of sigils. Cheerilee ran her hand over them slowly.

"How does she know these?" Cheerilee wondered.

"You could just ask me yourself." Vinyl said, leaning against the doorway. Cheerilee glanced over her shoulder at the Vampire. She didn't even hear the door open...she was getting rusty.

"Alright then. Where did you learn these?" Cheerilee demanded. Vinyl plopped down on her couch and lightly kicked the table. A small drawer slid open and within was a small black book.

"My mother was a Hunter. All I got was this book when she died..." Vinyl sighed as she picked up the book.

"It seems rather sweet...a Hunter falling for a Vampire..." Octavia smiled.

"Theres nothing sweet about it. He probably kept her as a pet." Cheerilee mumbled. Vinyl slammed her fist into the table, growling and clutching the book.

"You take that back!" Vinyl demanded. Cheerilee raised an eyebrow.

"Or what? I seem to recall that you need my help."

"I don't need jack shit from someone who is just gonna talk a bunch of crap."

"Why must you two argue over everything?" Octavia sighed.

"Hey! I saved your life!" they both yelled before glaring at one another. Octavia shook her head, pushing between them.

"Miss Cheerilee. I am grateful for your help, if not for your arrival...well, I would not be alive today. I can say the same to you Miss Scratch. Had you not shown up, I would probably have joined my sister..."

"Th-that was your sister?" Vinyl stammered, her eyes wide.

"Yes...so, believe me when I say that I understand you." Octavia smiled. Cheerilee rolled her eyes, grabbing hold of Octavia and looking into her eyes before tilting the girls head to glance at her neck.

"Really lady? Really? You think I'd be low enough to Mesmerize her?" Vinyl deadpanned. Cheerilee simply glanced at her.

"Of course ya do. Why did I even ask? Okay, look. You want me dead, I want Big Boss dead. So we gotta get to work fast. He's got control of over half of the Downtown District and he's makin' a move for upper Celamont."

"How do you know all of this?" Cheerilee asked

"I think you missed the part where he killed my pops and I've been hunting him down for the past few months." Vinyl grumbled. She sighed, grabbing her flask and taking a quick swig before tucking it away in her coat pocket.

"Okay...I've got an idea. You'll probably love it."

Vinyl whistled loudly, flipping her dagger through the air and calmly catching it.

"You said they'd show up. So where are they?" Cheerilee demanded through her ear piece.

"For a Hunter, you're really dense." Vinyl mumbled. She took a slow breath and snatched her dagger out of the air, spinning in time to slice clean through a leaping vampires throat.

More crawled out of the shadows, not even caring as their friend gagged and drowned in his own blood on the ground.

"Vanessa Diamondheart Filigree. You got a lotta guts showin' your face 'round here." Dusk chuckled, twirling a similar dagger to the one she held.

"Well, you know me. I'm just an idiot. But at least I'm smarter than you." Vinyl chuckled. Dusk sighed, spinning his dagger between his fingers.

"You know...Your old man had that same look in his eyes...right before I gutted him like the pig he was." he grinned, watching as Vinyl began to shake.

'He's just baiting you!" Octavia yelled into the ear piece. Vinyl froze, panting slightly and forcing herself to relax.

"You're full of shit. My pops wouldn't lose to a weak ass punk." she spat, pointing the dagger at him.

"Really? You wanna dance? Is that really the smart thing to do...V?" he chuckled. Vinyl felt her heart stop at the sound of chains. Her contact Zero Cool, best hacker in the world, was bound in chains and badly beaten. Vinyl cringed as she caught sight of his legs, both knee caps quite obviously caved in. He wore a bloody smile as he spotted Vinyl.

"Told ya...it was...wheeze a bad idea..." he chuckled weakly.

"Don't waste your energy Z. I'm gonna get you outta this buddy." Vinyl promised. Dusk sighed.

"Nah, ya see. Thats where you're wrong." Dusk spun, slamming the dagger into Zero's chest, all the way to the hilt.

"YOU FUCKING...!" Vinyl stopped in her tracks as weapons were drawn, several sets of guns aimed at her. She swore under her breath, her knuckles white as she gripped the dagger.

"Sad really. He was good at his job. But you don't cross Big Boss. Shame your pops fucked that up, but then again, he wasn't really good at anything." He smirked. Vinyl lost it, roaring as she charged toward him. Bullets whizzed by, some managing to barely clip her as she flickered in and out of sight. Dusk sighed, catching her dagger with his.

"Face it. You're weak. Your whole family is weak. A bunch of halfblood freaks trying to keep clean on donations. It makes me sick!" he roared, kicking her hard in the stomach and sending her skidding across the ground. Vinyl panted heavily, rolling onto her feet and glaring at him

"COME ON THEN! Just you an me. Tell your punks to back off an show me what you're made of!" Vinyl demanded. Dusk thought it over for a moment and shrugged.

"Alright, have it your way." he snapped his fingers, his men standing down. Octavia chewed her lip, her finger resting on the trigger of the sniper rifle.

"Hold your fire Octavia." Cheerilee ordered.

"But she's going to die down there!"

"Then she dies and we have one less vampire to take care of." Cheerilee shrugged. Octavia shook her head, standing and kicking the rifle away. Cheerilee glanced up at her, seeing the girl draw a pair of pistols.

"Its suicide to go down there."

"She went down there to bait them out for us and you'd rather watch her die. Who is the real heartless creature here?" Octavia asked, turning away and ignoring Cheerilee's warnings. Vinyl meanwhile was doing her best to stay in one piece, unaware of Cheerilee's betrayal or Octavia rushing to her rescue.

As far as she knew, the plan was to get Dusk into position, let one of them put a bullet in him, and pump him for info. It didn't help that Dusk was full of fresh blood and she was runnin' on fumes. Dusk was easily faster than she was, a few of his strikes getting past and leaving marks upon her arms, though she was able to knock back a few.

"Geez, this is just sad." Dusk sighed, stabbing forward with the dagger. Vinyl reacted quickly, tossing up her own dagger and letting the two scrape against one another, though she had failed to see his fist before it buried into her stomach.

"You're weak Vinyl. But you've got guts. Give up on this stupid revenge binge and Big Boss will keep ya around. And your sisters will get to see puberty." Dusk growled in her ear. Vinyl hung her head, chuckling quietly.

"You know...thats quite the offer...but I'll pass." Vinyl shifted her weight, grabbing his wrist and flipping her dagger, roaring as she twisted, snapping his wrist and flinging him over her shoulder, roaring as she stabbed the dagger next to his head.

"Heres your deal Dusk. You tell me where to find Big Boss, and you keep your nads." Vinyl growled.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" he winced, glancing at the vampires around them.

"You aren't gettin' outta here Vinyl." he chuckled, rolling back and smashing his knee into her forehead. Vinyl cried out in pain, rolling away and quickly leaping to her feet. Dusk sighed, staring at his wrist, rolling it about a few times until it popped back into place.

"Ah, much better. Plus side to keeping track of your meals ya know. Well, you wouldn't. Seein' all those bandages...it really is sad Vinyl. You're practically a human." he chuckled.

"Humans are stronger than you think." Vinyl said softly.

Now would be the time to shoot the guy. He's out in the open, I'm outta the shot. I just gotta keep him there Vinyl thought to herself.

"Vinyl!" Octavia called out, raising her pistols. Vinyl glanced over her shoulder, feeling her heart stop as she spotted her. Dusk chuckled, vanishing and appearing behind her.

"NO!" Vinyl roared, making a beeline for the crowd.

"Down girl! I ain't gonna hurt her..." Dusk chuckled. He buried his face in Octavia's hair, inhaling her scent.

"Mmmm, she smells wonderful. Heh, I didn't take you as one to keep pets Vinyl. But I guess not even you can resist the charms of one so...well rounded." he spoke softly, keeping a tight hold on Octavia, burying his face in the hollow of her neck and taking another whiff.

"She's ripe for the picking too." he shivered, his fangs showing.

"Dusk...you harm one hair on her head and I swear to Celestia it'll be the last damn thing you do." Vinyl warned.

"You couldn't stop me from taking out your little buddy 'Z'. Whats to stop me from enjoying a little snack?" Dusk asked.

"That would be me." a voice spoke up. Dusk spun, spotting the cloaked boy from before. Octavia roared, smashing her elbow into his ribs and stumbled forward into the crowd of vampires, all of them reaching for her.

Vinyl roared as she leapt in after her, everything seeming to move in slow motion. Octavia reached out for Vinyl, screaming as fangs tore into her arms. Octavia felt tears sting her eyes as Vinyl struggled through the crowd, blade slicing through as many throats as she could get near while the crowd grew thicker around her.

Hands grabbed at her, keeping her held back and forcing her to watch the girl suffer. Vinyl screamed as she called out to her magic, pumping as much mana as she could through her body.

The crowd hissed as she was surrounded in light, many backing off instantly, others made the mistake of holding on and suffered Magic Burns, rolling about on the ground and screaming in agony.

Vinyl panted slightly as she stepped forward, marching on the vampires whose fangs were still buried in the girl.

"Drop her...NOW!" Vinyl roared, smashing her foot into the face of one. The others were quick to drop their losses and escape with their lives, dropping Octavia like a rock. Vinyl sank to the ground next to her, shaking as she reached out a hand.

"T-Tavi? Can you hear me?" Vinyl choked out. Octavia nodded weakly, gripping one of her pistols. Vinyl sighed in relief, glancing over the bites. None of them were as bad as she had thought. None of them had reached her throat.

"I-I'm not...going to become one..am I?" Octavia managed to say.

"N-No. You're gonna be fine, we just gotta clean you up a-and you'll be back to following around miss bossy bitch in no time." Vinyl promised. Octavia smiled weakly, her eyes falling closed.

"Tavi? Octavia? Hey! Don't pass out on me!" Vinyl shouted. She gasped as Dusk collapsed next to Octavia, the cloaked figure resting a booted foot on him.

"Need a hand?" he asked, pausing and throwing up his hand. Vinyl stared for a moment, realizing he had just snatched a bullet out of the air.

...That bitch just tried to shoot us! Vinyl realized, gritting her teeth.

"Excuse me a moment." he said softly, snapping his fingers and vanishing. Octavia groaned, drawing Vinyl's attention.

She's gonna bleed out at this rate...

"Octavia...if you can hear me...I'm gonna clean up your bites. You uh...might not like this, but it'll keep you alive."

"J-Just do it..." Octavia winced. Vinyl nodded, propping the Gaian up on her leg. She took a slow breath, lifting up one of her arms and running her tongue over the bites slowly, shaking slightly as the blood touched her tongue.

Hold it together Vinyl...just focus on something else...think of Rarity...Oh man she's gonna be pissed when I get home Vinyl thought to herself, distracting herself from the taste of fresh blood.

Her work continued on the other arm, making sure to cover every mark in her spit. Octavia glanced up at her rather confused about the entire thing.

"You aren't going to bite me?"

"What? No! Why would I bite you?!"

"Its just...well...I thought this was the part where you turn me to save me..." Octavia mumbled.

Really lady? What kind of weird ass romance stories are you readin'? Vinyl thought, shaking her head.

"I just cleaned up a few bites, my spit will keep out any bacteria and you'll be fine." Vinyl mumbled. Octavia smiled, leaning against her and closing her eyes.

"That was stupid Octavia...running out here like that. What happened to the plan?"

"The plan changed when I realized the real plan was to watch you die..." Octavia said softly. Vinyl tensed up for a moment before realizing she had been expecting it. Cheerilee would have an easier shot while Dusk gloated over her corpse, but there had still been a crowd of armed vampires she would have to deal with.

"I guess she's an idiot too" Vinyl chuckled.

"Think what you want freak." Cheerilee spat, wincing as the cloaked boy held her arm behind her back.

Crap, I didn't even hear them show up... Vinyl gulped. The boy glanced around for a moment.

"How is she?" he asked, pointing a claw at Octavia. Vinyl stared in shock as the claw registered in her mind.

Powerful Magic, quick reflexes, claws, natural combat instincts. He's a freakin beast-kin! she realized.

"I'm fine, thanks to Vinyl." Octavia answered, snapping the vampire out of her daze.

"Good, I was hoping I was right about you."

"You're being tricked boy. AHH!" Cheerilee cried out as he pushed slightly on her arm.

"You tried to take my head off a minute ago. I'd rather you be quiet for a while." he said calmly, turning his attention back to Vinyl and Octavia.

"Vanessa Filigree. I'm putting my trust in you, as well as the care of Miss Octavia. I can't openly assist you yet, but you have my support in this fight. Just so long as you keep her safe."

"What do you get outta this beast boy?" Vinyl growled. The boy paused for a moment, chuckling softly.

"You figured it out huh? Well, its my job to keep this city safe. Big Boss isn't just an enemy to vampires like you, he's also a crime boss. The Guard aren't equipped to handle him. The sooner we take him down, the sooner everyone can go back to their lives."

"Oh wonderful, beasts and vampires working hand in hand." Cheerilee grumbled. The boy sighed, shoving her forward. Cheerilee spun, drawing her pistol and firing two shots at the boy, both burying themselves into his cloak and causing him to stumble backwards. The figure dusted himself off, digging his claws into his cloak and pulling the slugs out.

"Care to waste anymore ammo?" he asked.

"What the hell are you?" Cheerilee demanded.

"Luckily for you, I'm a friend." he said, before snapping his claws and vanishing, taking Cheerilee and Dusk with him. Vinyl simply stared, unsure of what had just happened.

"Um...Vinyl..." Vinyl glanced down, realizing she was still clutching her close.

"Uh, we should uh...probably get outta here."

Rarity sighed, tapping her foot idly and watching the backdoor. Sure enough it creaked open, signaling her elder sister returning once more from a night of getting into drunken fights. Rarity opened her mouth, ready to scold her sister, at least until she stepped inside carrying a young woman with several bite marks on her arms.

"Oh uh...Hey Rarity. Mind makin' some tea or somethin?" Vinyl asked nervously. Rarity stared, mouth hanging open as Vinyl walked past her.

"Was that your sister?" Octavia asked, still a bit light headed. Vinyl placed her on the couch gently, standing upright and popping her back.

"Yea, thats Rarity. She uh...well, she's the one with common sense." Vinyl chuckled softly, sitting on the arm of the couch. Rarity peeked her head into the room, listening in on the conversation. Octavia cast her bleary gaze about the room, surprised by its enormity.

"You live here?" Octavia asked in amazement.

"My sisters live here. I just pass by when I'm not...busy..." she mumbled.

"You must care for them very much, to risk so much..."

"I do care about em...But thats not the only reason for what I do Tavi. Big Boss was my pops buddy and he stabbed him in the back. Even as business men thats just not cool. Its even worse when your blood brothers."

"So this is about revenge. Vinyl...is that really the best course of action?"

"I can go after him or wait til he comes after me. You saw that fight, do you really think I could handle him an keep him away from my sisters at the same time?" Vinyl raised an eyebrow as Octavia fell silent.

"What if you were...fed? L-Like they are?" Octavia stammered. Vinyl paused for a moment, not sure where the woman was going.

"House Filigree is one of the strongest Clans around Tavi. We lost most of our strength when we went on the clean and narrow. On the off chance I got a real meal...I'd be unstoppable." Vinyl said, barely above a whisper. Octavia winced as she sat up, Rarity gasping and ducking back into the kitchen.

"Then what if you bit me?" Octavia said softly. Vinyl's eyes widened, the Magian leaping to her feet and stammering.

"Whoa! hold up! I-I'm not biting you! Th-thats just...weird."

"Whats weird about it? You need all the strength you can get, correct? You barely survived your encounter with that...creature, and if not for that boy all three of us might not have escaped." Octavia reasoned.

"Tavi, you have no idea what you're askin' me to do."

"I'm well aware of what I'm asking...I've seen what its like...I've felt it obviously..." she held up her arms meekly, Vinyl shaking her head.

"Octavia, just...shut up an listen to me. I-I haven't...bitten anyone...since I was little. The real thing...its different from the package." Vinyl stared at her hands, her body shaking.

"You can feel the heart beating as they panic and struggle...hear them whimper and beg...a bag just sits there, cold and lifeless without any regrets..." Vinyl gasped as Octavia grabbed her hands, staring deeply into her eyes. Octavia took a slow breath, raising a hand and removing Vinyl's shades.

"I won't panic. I won't squirm or struggle. I won't beg you to stop. You need your strength to fight the monster that took away my sister...that took away your father. And if my blood can help...then I want you to take it." Octavia shook as she began to cry, Vinyl pulling her close.

"If I do this...theres no going back..." Vinyl warned.

"I have nothing to go back to Vinyl." Octavia sniffed against her chest.

"Last chance..."

"Just shut up and bite..." Octavia squeaked as Vinyl's fangs sank into her neck. She gasped as a chill ran up her spine, the vampire keeping a gentle hold on her as she drank.

She had expected it to hurt, expected to pass out like she almost had during the fighting. But this felt almost...pleasurable. She closed her eyes slowly, panting slightly as Vinyl's hands ran down her sides, her face flushing as those same hands rested on her plump rear.

"V-Vinyl..." she gasped, eyes wide as Vinyl squeezed, and though she couldn't see it, she knew the Magian was smirking at her. Rarity stepped back into the room, carrying a tray with several cups and a pot of tea, gasping and dropping the tray as she caught sight of her sister.

"Vinyl!" Rarity yelled, the vampire quickly pulling away from Octavia, the Gaian leaning against her.

"R-Rarity! T-This isn't what it looks like!" Vinyl tried to argue. This was rather difficult with the remains of her meal clinging to her lips and her fangs jutting out over her bottom lip. Rarity crossed her arms and pouted.

"Is that why she has bites all over her arms? GASP Have you been...feeding off of her?!" Rarity gasped in horror.

"She saved me." Octavia interrupted the argument, resting her head against Vinyl's shoulder.

"So I offered to help her like she helped me..." she murmured before sleep took her. Vinyl sighed, wrapping an arm around her. Rarity sighed, shaking her head and picking up the pieces of the tea set.

"Well, don't let me interrupt your night." she mumbled, disappearing up the stairs. Vinyl wanted to go after her, to explain everything, but the snoring woman laying against her was making it difficult to do anything. She smiled slightly as the Gaian snuggled against her.

"Sleep tight Tavi..."

Morning. It was morning and Vinyl was on the couch, alone.

"What the..." she leapt to her feet, pulling the dagger from her coat. She paused, hearing humming nearby and leaned against the wall. Someone was in her home. Did they have Octavia? Why would they just snatch her and leave Vinyl there? Her eyes widened at the implications.

Had they taken her sisters as well? She gritted her teeth, flipping the dagger and leaping from around the corner, freezing in her tracks as she spotted Octavia, her hair down and humming a gentle tune as she scrambled a few eggs. Sweetie Belle giggled in her high chair while Rarity sat beside her, enjoying her own plate of eggs, pancakes and bacon. Vinyl dropped her dagger, the room falling silent and all eyes turning to her.

"Oh good, you're awake. I wasn't sure how you liked your eggs so I scrambled them. I hope thats alright..." Octavia smiled. Vinyl just stood there, an obvious mess. Octavia chewed her lip, watching as Vinyl broke down.

"Whats wrong big sis?" Sweetie belle asked cutely. Vinyl choked, wiping away her tears.

"N-Nothin' Belle...I just uh...need to talk to my friend for a sec..."

"Right...um, I'll be back in a moment girls, enjoy your breakfast." Octavia smiled at the two younger sisters before following Vinyl into the other room, letting out an eep as the vampire pinned her against the wall, slamming her hand next to her head.

"Tavi..."

"I'm sorry Vinyl, they were hungry and I thought it might be nice for you to wake up to a warm meal...um...that didn't come out right..." Octavia began to panic, pausing as Vinyl shook her head.

"You scared the crap outta me. I thought...I thought they raided the house...got past my wards an snatched you an the girls...I was so relieved when I saw you there...it reminded me of my mother...the way she use to always wake us up with breakfast...I-I really appreciate it Tavi..." Vinyl smiled.

"Well, t-think nothing of it Vinyl. I owe you my life, twice now." Octavia returned the smile.

"Um...Miss Melody? You left the stove on." Rarity called out. Octavia gasped, rushing back into the kitchen and quickly shutting off the stove.

"Oh no..." she sighed, staring at the burnt eggs. Vinyl chuckled, leaning over her shoulder.

"Sorry Vinyl. I-I'll make more."

"Nah, its cool." Vinyl picked at the burnt eggs, popping a small chunk into her mouth. Octavia stared as she watched Vinyl chew and nod.

"Not bad, could use a bit more salt though." she shrugged, walking past her and snatching up a slice of toast before heading to her workout room.

"Don't worry too much about her Miss Melody, Vinyl...is a bit of a strange one." Rarity spoke up.

"Yes, I suppose she is."

"Are you gonna marry her?" Sweetie Belle asked, eyes full of hope. Octavia's jaw dropped as she stared at the girl.

"I um...I'm j-just a friend of your sister. We um...we aren't anything more than that." Octavia chuckled nervously.

"Is that why she gave you a love bite?" Rarity asked over her orange juice. Octavia put a hand over the bite mark on her neck, her face flushed red.

"Whats a love bite?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Its something adults do Sweetie Belle. Nothing for you to worry about." Rarity smiled.

"I um...need to go speak with Vinyl for a moment..." Octavia mumbled.

"We'll be here Miss Melody. Oh and...Thank you for taking care of her." Rarity turned to Sweetie Belle, holding a forkful of eggs near her sisters mouth. Octavia marched down the hall, hearing Vinyl flinging punches and grunting behind one of the doors.

She took a slow breath, pushing the door open in time to see the vampire bounce off her left foot, twirl in the air and slam her leg firmly into the punching bag, knocking it clean off its harness and into the wall. She panted slightly, picking up a towel and wiping away her sweat.

"You just gonna stare all day?" Vinyl asked with a smirk. Octavia cleared her throat as she entered the room.

"Your sister mentioned our...encounter last night..." Octavia said slowly.

"Oh right, the uh..awkward feeding session..." Vinyl chuckled.

"Vinyl, what is a love bite?" Octavia blurted out. Vinyl froze for a moment.

"I uh...didn't want you to get hurt again so I might've...marked you...to keep the pain away." Vinyl mumbled innocently.

"Marked? I thought that meant some kind of scar."

"It means a lotta things Tavi. Marked to kill, marked forever, marked as a lover..." Vinyl listed. Octavia put a hand against the mark on her neck.

"S-so a love bite means..."

"It doesn't mean anything Tavi. It just means I don't want you getting hurt. And uh...if your in trouble I'll sense it. And I'll come for you." Vinyl promised. She felt her heart pounding in her chest as their eyes met, clearing her throat and tearing her gaze away.

"I-I see. I appreciate it Vinyl."

The two stood in relative silence for a good moment, Octavia showing herself out of the room and leaving Vinyl to her thoughts. She sighed, walking over to the punching bag and hefting it over her shoulder, grabbing a spare harness and latching it on.

So theres some uber powered Beast-kin badass on the loose. He was strong enough to take down Dusk and the Hunter that marked Big Boss. Speakin' of which...that damn Hunter is still out there too and probably can't wait to see my head on a plate. And then theres a hot chick wandering around my house in an apron an lettin' me feed off her...how the hell do I get into this shit?
