Simeon was
engulfed in a smoldering flame. Not a single fiber of Simeon
remained, as his body rapidly turned into ash and blew away in the
breeze.
Xander collapsed to the floor in exhaustion,
breathing heavily as his battered body slowly healed. A single tear
streamed down his face, as he remembered the woman he had lost,
thankful that he been strong enough this time.

“Are you okay?” asked Steven, running
outside. “Emily, say something to me.”
“—Steven?” inquired Emily, slowly lifting her
head. “Is that you?”
Emily’s vision was blurred as she tried to
pick herself up. She grabbed hold of her neck, trying to apply
pressure to her wound.
Steven grabbed hold of her, helping Emily
back up to her feet.
“Is there anything I can do?” asked Xander,
offering his support.
“I think you’ve done enough,” said Tyler,
exiting the house with a bat in hand. He waved the bat in the air,
trying his best to look as intimidating as possible.
“None of this was my intention,” Xander said.
“I never meant for any of this—.”
“Master!” shouted Horace, running up the
steps. “The battle is over. I regret to inform you that we have
sustained heavy causalities.
Horace was battle worn and covered in blood,
but beamed with confidence. His men were well trained, and had
carried about their business with deadly speed and accuracy.
Simeon’s junkies never had a chance.
“Unfortunately, that was inevitable,” replied
Xander, patting the ghoul on the shoulder. “You have performed
admirably. The threat has been eliminated, but more may be lurking
in the shadows. We will remain in the town, and hunt for any
survivors.”
“Retire for the night,” Xander continued. “I
shall join you shortly.”
Horace signaled for the remaining survivors,
and they quickly disappeared into the night.
“Emily,” said Xander, stepping towards her.
“I just want you to know—.”
“Stop,” interrupted Emily, holding up her
hand. “I only want to know one thing.”
“Anything,” Xander replied.
Emily steadied herself, and slowly walked
towards Xander. She wobbled a little, but as Xander moved to
stabilize her, Emily motioned for him to remain where he was.
“Were you there…when my parents died?” Emily
asked.
Unsure how to answer, Xander began to choke
on his words, and said, “I—I was, but my reasons for—.”
“I have heard enough,” said Emily, with a
look of sadness and regret. “I can’t believe I was beginning to
care for you. I would like you to leave.”
“Emily, it’s not like that,” explained
Xander, taking another step towards Emily. “You are not safe
here—.”
“I said, leave!” shouted Emily, pushing him
back. “I should never have trusted you. My mother was right about
you!”
Xander cringed in pain, her harsh words
cutting him deeper than any blade could.
“I will spend the rest of my life making it
up to you,” said Xander, backing away. “I promise you.”
And so, Xander disappeared into the night,
vowing to keep a vigilant watch over her.
Emily may have asked him to leave, but she
couldn’t possibly imagine the threat that still remained; but she
soon would.

Chapter One
He rushed through the dense forest, his heart
racing as he unsheathed his sword. He could hear the monster to his
left, and then to his right; it was circling him. The hunter had
become the hunted; or at least that’s what he wanted the creature
to think.
His long brown hair blew in the night wind,
and his tan duster thrashed against the damp forest ground. He
watched, in the corner of his eye, as a shadowy figure stalked him,
circling around him like a hawk hunting his prey.
“This is what you’ve trained for,” the man
whispered to himself, trudging through a shallow river. “There’s no
turning back now.”
He came to a complete stop, and listened, as
the sounds of the forest spoke to him. It told him exactly what he
