She just sat there in the old church she was christened in, shaking violently, she had never felt this out of control. Her shaking though was more from pure rage than fear. A concerned nun approached her and asked kindly if she was ok, she ignored her, not wanting to speak, not entirely sure if she could speak anyway, she did know however that she did not need anyone's company right now.
How did it all go so wrong? She kept replaying the events of the night in her head, over and over, looking at it from every possible angle she could think of, the truth of course was obvious, they weren't prepared, they lacked training for what was a military operation, it was nothing short of Urban Warfare and although her and her friends had fared well the first few months of operations, they had never encountered a fight with a large group before, they had picked their victims carefully stalking their targets until they were alone or in smaller groups, waiting for the right moment where they couldn't possibly lose.
Well, they had obviously created a name for themselves, the monsters which had been moving into the town were used to a certain level of abuse but they weren't going to allow themselves to be picked off by a bunch of amateur monster hunters, they must have set a trap, it was the only thing that made sense to her.
She thought about it again, trying as hard as she could to see it clearly. The Hunters as her gang called themselves were made up of 6 people, Alexis her girlfriend, tall with dark hair and soft lips, Mary the youngest of the group and somewhat innocent blonde, Mary was only 18, 10 years younger than the rest of The Hunters, Rachell who used to work as a manager for a security company also blonde and Lou the Amazon as they all called her, tall with a large bone structure and quite fierce, then there was Cindy the red head, they had only just accepted Cindy the week earlier into their group, not much was known about her as she was very quiet. And lastly there was herself, Caitlyn, her nickname in the group was "Runt", standing at 5ft nothing and weighing in at 95 pounds she was tiny and her weapons at times were bigger than her, but what she lacked in stature she made up for in courage.
They had planned a raid on a Vampire nest, yes you heard me, they exist didn't you know? Anyway Vamps had moved into an apartment building and had evicted all the humans, well most of them of course many they ate before hand. They did their research and it seemed there were 4 Vamps living there, not too many, well as far they were concerned anyway. So they made their plan, raid the apartment, kill or "dust" the Vamps, rescue any humans and leave. Simple? Right?
So they spent the evening feasting as they usually did before a mission and then she and Alexis went off to make love, this mission seemed different, there seemed a foreboding feeling that ran through them all. A heaviness that was never there before hand. They just saw it as nerves and brushed it off like hardened warriors would. Except they weren't hardened warriors, they were a rag tag team of women who patrolled the streets at night ensuring safety, they were hacks, pure and simple.
They tooled up with their cross bows and stakes, bottles of holy water and holy water grenades that were nothing more than balloons filled with holy water and went on their way.
Arriving at the apartment in the seedier side of town they entered through the front door and saw a Vamp, a young boy on the stairs, he smiled at them before running upwards, not thinking the group gave chase only to find that once they were on the next floor and in the lift lobby where the boy had disappeared 8 Vamps appeared from the apartments, they were boxed in, surrounded, not as ready as they should have been with their weapons, Alexis was killed first off as a Vamp pounced on her, he ripped her throat out as if it meant nothing at all, Rachel was next as another Vamp a fat middle aged female grabbed her and drained her neck of blood within in seconds, finally Caitlyn managed to get off a shot, she hit and vaporized the Vamp that killed Alexis, she didn't have time to think about the deaths of her comrades, they were down to four now, the Vamps pulled back and the Hunters re grouped, getting in close together, then a howl was heard, they looked at each other, 2 werewolves appeared from a room on the left, the Vamps were just the first wave, the 4 remaining women moved back slowly towards the stair door they came from, the wolves moving in ever closer, they each fired a shot but it was pointless, they were tooled up for a Vamp mission not WereWolves!
The Wolves pounced before they could reload and only Caitlyn could make it out the stairdoor, running down the stairs hearing her friends scream as they were eaten alive, there was nothing she could do for them.
So she ran, ran until she got to the old Church she had spent so much time in as a child. And she sat and thought and in her own way prayed that somehow everything would be ok. And she got angrier and as she realized that all of this should never have happened in the first place, that the Government and their weird experiments had started all of this, she became more and more fierce and less inclined to care about the consequences. In her 28 years of life she had never been more angry or defiant.
She stood up and looked towards the heavens.
"I hereby give a part of my soul to any entity whether it be good or evil to help me train and beat these monsters once and for all, I Caitlyn O'Dowd swear it!" she announced as the nun blessed herself and scurried away.
Caitlyn herself then blessed herself and walked home, drank half a bottle of whiskey and fell asleep fully clothed on her bed. She had, had more than enough for one night.
