North City, year of 2072, one of the few places where humans thrive against the demons of the night. Also, the home of the slayers. Werewolf slayers. Demons, including werewolves and vampires from old fiction started to truly show themselves to the humans. At first there was panic and many were killed. Then people started living together in larger groups, defending themselves against the creatures. Great cities like North City were built around the world. And eventually, people started becoming bounty hunters and slayers.
Slayers worked for the city, given assignments and then executing them. They were paid through successful kills. These people stayed within the city, guarding it from the monsters. Each city was specialised to the particular monster that attacked. North City was also a home to werewolves. The cold winters often brought more werewolves, so the slayers had many to kill.
Bounty Hunters worked for themselves. Wandering the wilderness, killing any monster they see. And if one of their kills was a high ranked kill, they could be paid directly from the city they were closest to. Kills were recorded through sensors, which recorded the battle and type of monster defeated. Sensors were made by someone in 2032, but no one knows who. They came in the appearance of crosses on necklaces. Bounty hunters loved the idea of crosses, as Christianity was claimed to scare the monsters. So many wore crosses anyway by Bounty Hunters.
One of the highest ranked monsters was Vampires. Blood Suckers. Anyone who could kill a vampire was famous. Vampires were one of the hardest ones to kill, especially since they were dead already. Only one person could claim that he had killed a Vampire, and that was Killua Kross. He had slain the Vampire, Aka, the vampire who was infamous for attacking young children. But his real target was Kuro. No one had met Kuro and survived, and those who had met him, were vampires.
It was said that Kuro had lived for over 500 years, having a fetish for men, having one as pet in 1859...
Scarlett stopped reading. A vampire, who like men? How disgusting. She closed the book, and stared at the cover, A History Of Blood. What a wacky name for a study book. Putting the book down, Scarlett stood and stretched out all the kinks from sitting down for too long. Poor guy, being a pet for a vampire... She shuddered at the thought.
“Shit!” she exclaimed, “I’m going to be late for graduation!” She quickly rushed out of the room, dropping the book on the sofa, the door slammed in her wake.
In the corridor, Teddy was making his way out of his room, “Ah! Scarlett! Good Morning!” He smiled at the young woman rushing out of her apartment, “Lost track of time again?”
Scarlett gave him a rough look as she fumbled in her back for the keys.
“Ah, don’t worry,” Teddy drawled, “You’ve got plenty of time.” He strode up to her, inches away from her face, his green eyes looking into her own blood red eyes.
“I’m not in the mood Teddy.” Scarlett shoved the blonde haired man out of her way.
She hurried down the corridor with Teddy following at a casual pace.
“Not in the mood? Are you ever in the mood?” He teased.
“Shut up!”
Teddy laughed from behind her. Teddy was the same age as her, nineteen, being her childhood friend. They had both decided to become Slayers for North City after Scarlett’s father had died slaying a werewolf nine years ago. Teddy became a Slayer because he was expected to become the next Slayer in the Strike family. At first, it was only Scarlett who wanted to follow her father’s footsteps; Teddy didn’t want anything to do with Slayers. But it was only after her father’s death, that the two of them got serious and joined the training school at the age of thirteen.
They had both trained hard in the six years, and now, finally, the two of them were qualified Slayers. Well, after the graduation and they both signed the documents to prove that they were Slayers, will they be qualified Slayers.
“So, what do you think our first assignment will be?” Teddy whispered as the graduation speech was being given by the Head Slayer.
“Shut up!” Scarlett whispered back.
Teddy sniggered, “Bet it’s something real boring and without any fun!”
Scarlett ignored him, and clapped her hands with Teddy when the speech ended.
“Receptionist! Next!”
Scarlett sighed heavily, a receptionist...great. Teddy won that bet. She flicked through the papers she was given, reading the task objectives given to her.
“I was right!” Teddy came up from behind her, “It is boring. A receptionist. What you get?” He laughed out loud, “A receptionist?”
Scarlett blushed, even better. She was working with Teddy on her first assignment. Teddy continued to laugh, causing many to stare at the pair. Flushing with embarrassment, Scarlett strode away from the centre of attention, with Teddy following her.
