1. Saviour

The midnight sky was dark and mysterious, filled with all it's shining stars, the moonlight pouring down over the city and it's inhabitants.

But his eyes saw everything as clear as daylight. How long had it been since he had seen the sun? Years, maybe decades. Ah, but it didn't matter anymore.

He took in everything with his unnatural hearing and perfect smell; The fabric's pumping toxic into the air, people polluting the rivers, the maniacs beating each other up, people having sex, people killing each other, laughter, hatred, envy, lust, jealousy and so on. Sometimes it disgusted him, other times it intrigued him.

To him, an immortal, humans were nothing but frail things who would die when treated too roughly. Their time already limited by age. Perhaps that was the reason he never turned anybody into a creature like him. They were too weak. They wouldn't be able to bare the fact that they would live into eternity while all their loved ones around them withered away with time.

Yet he wondered why he hadn't gone mad yet like most of his kind after living for centuries. He supposed he never grew tired of watching the next steps of mankind and that this was the reason he still went on. He was also probably one of the few oldest and the last of his kind.

Smiling bitterly to himself he once again looked down from his position on the balcony of his favorite cathedral to see the tiny frail humans kill each other, pleasure each other, war with one another. Couldn't they see they were killing themselves and their living place?

Such useless beings.

Suddenly it hit his senses.

The prominent metallic tang drifted through the air and he took in a deep breath. Such a sweet smell this blood held.

Normally he wouldn't pay it any attention, but it had been a long time since he experienced something thrilling. Something worthy of his attention.

Wind threw his soft brown hair around as he moved down the city at inhuman speed to the origin of the smell.

Within seconds he found himself in an dirt ally, looking at the crumpled form on the ground, lying in an growing puddle of blood.

Such a waste. He thought as he looked down at the blood.

He took a deep sniff. Female. Her clothes and dark hair confirmed his suspicions.

Noting her injuries he understood what happened. The woman was probably robbed, raped and stabbed to be left for death, something that happened quite often in this city.

Though he didn't smell any scent of sex on her though, so she probably wasn't raped.

At least it's one traumatic experience less. He thought darkly. Not that it matters anymore.

Drawing closer he could hear her heart beating faintly, slowing down with each intake of breath. She would be dead in minutes.

Frail humans. He looked down at the creature. Forever caught in a body that is so easy to hurt.

She coughed and heaved suddenly. Her eyes fluttered open, looking around without taking anything in. She tried to steady herself to get up again.

She is fighting. He realized, eyes widening slightly. But what is the point to it? It is a struggle that has already been decided.

''It is useless to try and escape death.'' He spoke icily to her.

The woman tensed. She hadn't known that there was someone with her.

Of course she hadn't known. He was too fast for their eyes and ears. He scoffed.

Silent waves of fear rolled off of her. She feared that her attackers had came back to finish the job. Slowly did she lift her dull green eyes up to him. He saw the woman taking in his form.

His luxurious black boots, his velvet pants, his richly decorated gilet, his Victorian blouse, his cravat with a green cameo brooch, the clothing style he wore for centuries.

She eyed his flawless white skin like porcelain and his inhumanly grey eyes, looking at her with a piercing intensity, and his soft brown hair framing his face.

If she knew what he was she certainly didn't show it.

''Please help me.''

It was a small plea, one for life.

He bent down to her level so he could look her in the eye. She looked scared and distrusting at him.

He couldn't blame her. So instead he sneered at her. ''Why?''

''I want to live.'' She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

He sighed. ''Your petty attempt to escape death is futile, human. Cease is at once.''

The woman smiled softly. " I know it is inevitable. But one can try. One can have hope, right?'' Her eyes rolled in the back of their sockets as she fell unconscious.

He frowned, something he wasn't used to do. Even in the end when Death himself comes to get her she still doesn't give up? Why does she keep fighting?

But it captured him. Her strong will to live. What was so precious to her that she kept fighting?

Perhaps it will be interesting to watch her and see with my own two eyes what captures this human so completely.He smirked lightly. Yes, that would be interesting to watch.

Rolling up his sleeve carefully he watched over the human before him one more time before he let his fangs sink into his own skin, drawing blood. He turned the female on her back and held his wrist above her. Two or three drops should do the trick. It will help her heal but it will not turn her into one of us.

He let the drops fall into her open mouth as his skin already healed itself and gently rubbed her throat until he felt her swallow.

Then he easily picked her up and rushed into the air.

Humans get hurt so easily, it makes me feel disgusted.

The smell of disinfectant ravished his senses as he stopped in front of a hospital. The building was small, but well-kept and had the best medical care in this town.

He saw a ambulance brother on his way outside. The man had yet to see him.

He carefully placed down the female at the entrance and moved to a rooftop so he could oversee what happened to the woman.

Yes, as he expected the man found her and called to the inside for help. The woman was rushed inside, blocked from his view, but never lost from his sight.

He looked at the ID card he found when he picked up her wallet. He smiled a wicked smile he hadn't smiled for a long time. ''Seems like I will be seeing you soon, right Katherine?''

With a low chuckle to himself he left, disappearing into the night once again.

Please let me know what you think~
