Richter was drawing closer and closer to his prey. It had been a long month of tracking down the monster terrorising the small town, a lot of hiding in the shadows, questioning survivors and next of kin of the victims, seeking out the scent of the latest in a long line of those...things. When the first victim had shown up he had been tracking another but as soon as he had done his 'job' he had moved on to here with the same expediency as he always showed in his two century long mission to wipe them out. Who they were was as well kept a secret as what he was, most of the world oblivious to his presence and that of his 'victims'. He crept quietly towards the alleyway, downwind from the sounds of struggling, the panicking, the muffled screams of the girl held in it's clutches. It. He wouldn't honour these creatures with gender or as a person in his mind though technically it had been one, a man. Strongly built he was almost 7 feet tall to Richter's 6. An imposing figure of rage and fury dressed in a black leather jacket with patches of skulls, band iconography, a pentagram painted onto the back in red and studs on the shoulders and arms. The creature wore ripped blue jeans and filthy black boots with steel plated toecaps, the ones he had used to crush the ribcage of his last victim for no earthly reason than the fun of it. They made him sick.
Richter himself was much more refined, only barely the same species. He was smartly dressed, a long black coat of a light black cloth over a red silk shirt, black leather belt holding up the black trousers...he had found that when stalking his prey black and dark reds blended in better without looking too suspicious and he liked the colour too. Of course, his shoes were black, ankle boots polished to a mirror sheen. He looked like somebody who could get into a nightclub and past the strict dresscodes if he had to, not like the rough, scruffy monster he could see in front of him. In the beast's arms was an Asian woman in a light blue dress which shimmered as the light caught it...it was the late hours of a Saturday night, almost 11pm. She had probably been out having a good time with friends and left to go home when it had grabbed her. It didn't matter why, it only mattered that he had found it. It had one hand over her mouth to muffle her screams as it savagely bit down into her throat, feeding like an animal going straight for the carotid artery. She wouldn't survive, Richter was too late to save this girl but not too late to put down her killer. He pulled out the dagger he liked to use to end these, the long and slender twelve inch blade more than capable of doing the job. The blade itself was pure silver, the sheath a black leather and the handle stainless steel covered in yet more black leather to protect his hands. The guard was made of the same material...he didn't need anything but the blade to be silver to deal with his target.
Rounding the corner, he broke into a sprint far faster than any human could manage, crossing the distance between them in seconds as he aimed his blade for the heart, towards the back of the monster. His approach was hardly stealthy but even for a vampire it was impossible to be completely silent and another vampire, even one as far gone as the feral in front of him would have hearing good enough to pick it up, speed was the only option he had, that and the element of surprise. The creature turned and in a moment of desperation or genius level quick thinking threw it's victim at him. Richter almost came to a halt as he stopped to catch her, feeling the blade of his dagger sink into her stomach as blood from her throat went everywhere, all over his face, his coat, his hands. She had been dead before she had hit his blade. He swore under his breath. "Fucking monsters..." throwing the girl's corpse aside he lunged, lashing out with the dagger and then a sweeping kick. The dagger was narrowly evaded but he felt the impact with it's leg, heard it cry out as a satisfying crack filled the air. Not broken, no...it was surely fractured though, it could fight the pain but it would slow it down. "Give it up beast, I've found you now and you can't get away once I've found you, you're injured, I'm faster than you, better than you...I'm not going to let you get away alive now." His ice blue eyes showed no mercy as he watched the creature leap up to the wall, the injured leg barely slowing it down as it clung to the fire escape. Barely...it was still a vampire even if it was one of those disgusting monsters that killed to feed, tearing at their victims. An injured leg wasn't enough, was likely already healing but it was enough that he would be able to catch it and that's what mattered...until he heard the noise. A high pitched voice from his right, from the mouth of the alley that led to the streets distracted him. "Aha! I've caught you in the act you bloodsucking demon!" Where he was standing looking up at the feral vampire he was in the glow of the nearby streetlight whereas the monster had retreated to the darkness of the fire escape a good 12 feet up. The girl who had cried out to him, before she fired her weapon likely couldn't see the feral as it leered down at him. Richter could hear the low, bemused chuckle as he turned towards the girl.
He saw the crossbow pointed at him, he raised his arm just in time as the silver tipped bolt flew through the air. Whoever she was, she had good aim, if he hadn't gotten his arm up...if she hadn't called out to him. He cried out in pain as the silver began to burn, grabbing the shaft and tearing it out. He could hear the feral retreating to the rooftops but he couldn't give chase as he had to deal with the human girl who was now sprinting at him, drawing what looked to be a pair of sai that looked to be silver. Growling, he turned towards her, crouching into a defensive stance. Of all the luck...he had finally found the feral that had been preying on women in the town for months and a fucking hunter had interfered. Didn't they realise yet that he wasn't the killer, that he was helping? He was doing their job for them...his own also, but it was theirs too damn it. "Girl, I don't have time for this nonsense, he's going to get away!" At his feet laid the Asian woman, blood already pooling and running down the alleyway, Richter himself had it around his mouth, on his hands, on his coat. The woman's blood was on his blade, dripping down, and the girl was charging towards him.
It was going to take a lot of explaining.
