"Who's there," D yells. A dark figure runs by him at blank speed. Something behind him moves. D turns. Nothings there. He then starts hearing sounds all around him. Sounds of slaughter, death, agony, and screams of torture all around him. What is this hell that is consuming me, D thinks. Then, out of nowhere Doris falls out in front of him, with her throat cut. D picks her up. He kisses her on her cold dead lips and then begins to scream. D draws his sword and with a burst of rage he leaves his mysterious spot light and enters the darkness. He then starts slashing insanely at every sound and movement. Then something drops from the sky. All of a sudden every things bright. There stands an ugly freak of nature. It didn't look like any vampire D had encountered. In it's arms was Dan, unconscious. "Put him down you ugly bastard before I drive my sword through your face!!!" It didn't answer. Instead it returned a hideous laugh. D, angered by this, charges at the freak of nature. It jumps high in the air dodging D's attack then performs a double flip into a sideway 360 spin and lands. D charges again but this time he jumps with the beast and slashes it's arm off causing him to drop Dan. "You should have never killed Doris you freak, so now I'll send you back to the deepest pits of burning hell in which you was spawned from," D yells as he charges at the creature with pure anger and hatred. When D comes in contact with the beast it suddenly disappears. D then finds himself in bed. It was another nightmare. Why do I consistently get these dreams about Doris and Dan, D thinks. The incident with the Count happened over 5 years ago, but I can't get rid of them. I have to move on, I'm not one of them. I am a Damper. I would only be hurting them if I went back, D thinks. D gets out of bed and walks outside to get some fresh air. This nightmare though, this one, was somehow different from the others, it seemed so real, D thought. Maybe this one is trying to tell me something.

Could it be telling me that Doris and Dan are in trouble, or that someone else may be in trouble? No, it's just a nightmare D thinks. Maybe I just need a shower to calm down. Later after D gets done taking a shower he hears a knock at the door. He answers it and there at the door was standing a beautiful young woman, not even 17 yet. "Hello, I am Charlotte." "Are you the famous vampire hunter who destroyed the count and his castle 5 years ago?" Charlotte asked. "Yes, that's me." "Well, I have a...." Before Charlotte could finish D shouted out angrily, "look, Iv been going through some problems lately and I don't really have the time to go out vampire hunting." "But..." D butted in again and said, "Just go away, I can't do this for you ok;" "I'm just not up to it right now." "Maybe in a few more months come back and we can work something out." "But sir, I'm afraid me and my family cant wait that long," the girl said with emotion. "You see, our father has been gone for a week now." "He went hunting in the back woods of paradise. But... he never returned." "Please help us, Charlotte said, beginning to cry." "We will pay you a high sum of money and... Ill even give myself to you," she said as she removed her shirt and bra exposing her large breasts. "Put your shirt back on, look..." D paused for a moment. "Ill do it for you but just don't give me anything." But why the Charlotte asked. "Because I have been having nightmares lately, and I think that all of them was telling me that this would happen." "I feel that I must do this, to settle this madness and get back at that thing that attacks me when I sleep." "I must destroy him to end my pain and the pain of others." "Ill go after this hellish creature and silence him forever, D yells." Charlotte tells D where to meet her. Later he goes to her house. He enters. Inside there the whole family sat at the table in the kitchen. "Hello, umm... My name is D," D answers. "Hello D". The whole family greets him. "So, your daughter tells me that your dad is lost somewhere." "Yes, the old woman answered." "We're very worried; will you please do everything in your power to bring him back?" "Nothing to worry about miss, Ill find him, and if he was kidnapped, Ill slaughter his kidnapper." "Thank you D." "We have some weapons and supplies that you can use on your search."

"No thank you miss, all I need is my sword." They all waved as D left for paradise woods. As he walks away from the old cabin he buttons his cloak, preparing for battle because he knows he will encounter something, and the something is that demon in his dreams. D hops on his horse and jolts off to paradise woods. After an hour he finally makes it to the woods. He hops off of his horse. "Stay here boy, if that thing is as strong and as fast as I think it is your going to be my only way out." D enters the woods slowly. There are sounds of animals everywhere covering any sound of attack that D could counter. It was very thick with trees and it was hard to see around. D cautiously took a step at a time. Suddenly he heard a loud sound from the East. He turned quickly and D knew who he was going to see. There it stood. The beast of D's nightmares. "You, who are you?" D yelled. "I am the nightmare child." "Also known as Signiss Hell Drake." "Why are you doing all this?" D asked. "Aren't you the one who destroyed the count?" "Yes, that is me, what does the count have to do with this?" D shouted in question. "Because, I have heard about how strong the count is, but apparently that old fool lost his battle and his loss was your win, D." "Now you must fight me, not for anything but the fun challenge of battle." "So, D, lets see how strong you are." "Ok, but there's a little problem," D said. "I'm not just here to kill you, Iv also come for the man." "Oh, him." "Well I have him stashed away in a safe place." "This whole forest will become a dangerous place for you Signiss if you don't tell me where he is." "You must fight me first." "No problem," D says as he begins to charge. Signiss also begins to charge. D maneuvers to the left. So does Signiss. D performs a double slash combo but before he executes his technique, Signiss dodges to the right performing a summer salt right under D's sword. D quickly answers him by spinning around and cutting a big gash into Signiss's back. Signiss does not let out a sound of pain. D attacks again making sure that Signiss will not get a chance to retaliate. D swings a lower attack at signiss's legs, but Signiss quickly reacts by jumping over D's sword and does a flip over D's back.

Before D has a chance to turn around Signiss sticks his long sharp claws into the back of D's neck. A stun of shock quickly goes down D's back. D falls to the ground. Hahahaha, Signiss laughs loudly. D lay's there with his neck broken knowing that he has lost. Signiss picks D up by his broken neck. "What," Signiss says with confusion. "How are you still alive, oh well, your not going to live through this," Signiss yells as he throws D with all of his strength. D goes flying over the trees and lands on some rigid sharp rocks. He lays there unconscious. "There, I knew he couldn't win," Signiss says as he walks away proud of his victory.

"I'm worried about D, Charlotte said." "Relax ok?" "He will be back." "Besides, who are we supposed to be worrying about, D or father?" the older boy asked. "Look John, I care about D just as much as dad." "After all, he was the only one who would do the job; all the others were not up to it." "He has to be in trouble," Charlotte said. "And what do you suggest we do, go after him?" "Yes, but I plan on trying to get some other hunters to help us find them." "Oh yeah, but I thought you said that the other hunters weren't up to it." "I'm going to go up to Nosgoth, there's always good hunters up there." "Well then, you can go ahead but you can count me out." "Ok then, Ill go along myself, but don't tell momma." "Ok, fine," said John. Charlotte left the cabin and started her way to Nosgoth. When she arrived to her destination she was greeted by a big fat man. "Hey pretty, what's a pretty little girl like you doing in a town like this." "I'm trying to find a gang of bounty hunters, perhaps you know any?" "Well I know some but you would have to give me a little something if I told you". "And what would that be?" Charlotte asked. "You can start it off by coming to my shack and give me a little taste of some naked flesh." "Screw you!" Charlotte said in anger. "That's what I had in mind," the man said as he grabs for Charlottes breasts. She turns to run but the man grabs her by the neck and swings her to the ground. He then rips off her shirt and bra. He begins sucking Charlotte's nipples. He then starts for her pants but a voice from behind says, " Let her go mike, or Ill rip your spine out of your head. Mike turns around to see a tall muscular man. "Uhhh, Rex, I was just..." "Let her go now!" Rex shouts out. Mike quickly got off of Charlotte and walked away. "Are you alright ma'am?" "Yeah, I'm just fine Charlotte exclaims." "Ok, be careful around here." "I'm Rex." "I'm a vampire hunter." "Oh you are!" Charlotte yells with surprise. "Iv come here looking for a vampire hunter." "Oh yeah?" "Well I'm just what the doctor ordered because I'm the best around here, well, my buddies and me." "Can you help me find my father and another vampire hunter?" Charlotte asked. "Sure, but... what will the reward be?" "Well, there isn't one," Charlotte answered upset. "Well, I'm afraid I can't help you ma'am." "My name is Charlotte and I can't believe I came here." "Some how I knew that there wasn't going to be any vampire hunters with enough balls to help me out." "Your all the same, at least D came willingly to help me but now he's in danger and needs help." "Look Charlotte, I would but me and my buddies aren't about to risk our lives for nothing." "Fine," Charlotte screamed as she turns to walk off. Rex standing there begins to feel guilty. "Umm, hey Charlotte, maybe I can work something out, but first you must tell me how much this D and your father mean to you," Rex asked. "Well, my father means the world to me, and... D means the same because he was the only one willing to go after my father... for no reward!" Charlotte yelled. "Do you love this D, Charlotte?" Rex asked. "What kind of question is that?" Charlotte asked. "Just answer me Charlotte." "Uhh, yes, yes I do love him." "Then I'm afraid I have no choice but to go after them." "You will!" Charlotte exclaimed happily. "Yes, but first I must convince my friends to help me". 4 hours later Rex returns to Charlotte. "Well, Charlotte, it was hard to get them to help but they'll do it". "Alright, lets start right away," Charlotte said excited. "Ok, Ill go get them". "Give me the location to the place where they are and my buddies and me will meet you there," Rex said. The next day Rex and his team made it to the front of Paradise woods. Standing there was Charlotte. "Hey guys," "Charlotte said. "Hey Charlotte," Rex said. "These are my friends, Lance, Gill, Gial, Cutter, and Coby." "Hi," they all said to Charlotte. "Hey guys, Ill be going with you, is that ok?"
