<<narration "A cloak of darkness and silence envelops the abandoned factory. The only sounds that break the stillness are the occasional drop of water, the rattling of chains... and the almost imperceptible steps of someone moving stealthily on the lower level. Two bright red eyes examine the intruder.">>
<<molloch "You're too late, Slayer; the ritual is complete. We're but mere days away from the culmination of my work. Finally, humanity will go back to its original state: slaves to their superiors.">>
<<slayer "Superior? With your late-stage alopecia and Walmart halloween costume? Keep dreaming, buddy.">>
<<molloch "Jest all you want, Slayer--the moment of truth is upon us. The wrath of Molloch will once again rain down on this wretched world and cleanse all of its weakness away!">>
<<slayer "Oh well, it can't be worse than having to listen to your evil monologuing.">>
<<molloch "Enough!">>
<<narration "With inhuman speed, the elder vampire launches himself towards the slayer, claws first. She expertly diverts the strike into the hanging chains, and swiftly wraps up his hands in them, immobilizing him.">>
<<molloch "Yaargh!">>
<<narration "Molloch cries out in rage, struggling to free himself.">>
<<slayer "I guess your mystical powers are no match for a sturdy chain...">>
<<narration "The slayer's phrase is cut short when a piece of metal flies by her, inches from her face. Molloch's arms are now free and covered in bulging red veins, they seem to have doubled in size.">>
<<slayer "Gotta give it to you... you've managed to make yourself even uglier.">>
<<narration "She throws a kick at the vampire, who catches the leg and twists it in one quick motion. The slayer falls to the ground with a thud, but immediately gets back up with a backwards jump. With a fierce growl, Molloch attacks the Slayer with his claws, ripping through her shirt and cutting her on the stomach.">>
<<narration "The fighting continues, vampire and Slayer trading hits and quips in equal measure. Though she tries to maintain an arrogant facade, the young girl can sense that this battle is not going as she had envisioned. Her breathing is labored, her body trembling with exhaustion. Molloch seems to sense her growing fatigue, and with a glint of amusement in his glowing red eyes, he grants her a momentary respite. As she struggles to catch her breath, he examines her with malicious interest.">>
<<molloch "What's that I see, Slayer--exhaustion? Perhaps you ought to consider surrender... you could reign by my side if only you decided to accept my gift.">>
<<narration "The slayer spits blood, struggling to maintain her posture.">>
<<slayer "A gift, huh...? What's... the... re-return policy... on it...?">>
<<molloch "Oh, you're about to find out.">>
<<narration "The lights suddenly go out. In the blackness, a swift pounce can be heard, followed by a loud cry, and then a thud. Silence returns to the abandoned factory.">>

<<narration "Your mind still reels from the confusing allure and pain swirling just beneath your consciousness, slowly being dispelled by the light beams hitting your face.">>
<<narration "Shaking your thoughts away, you jump out of bed. It's a trained gesture, one you have done a thousand times before. Only, this time, you find yourself almost hitting the ceiling with your head. You fall to the ground with a dull sound.">>
<<sam "What the...">>
<<narration "You examine yourself, looking for any signs of change. At first glance, nothing seems to be different. You don't have wings or springs in your legs. You check the ceiling, and everything appears normal. Are you still dreaming? You decide to try jumping again, flexing your legs and gathering your strength. Once again, your jump takes you straight into the ceiling, nine feet above the ground.">>

<<narration "Your loud landing doesn't go unnoticed--you hear footsteps outside, and the door opens.">>
<<mom "Sam, honey, what is up with you this morning? Are you jumping?">>

<<narration "You look at your new friends, unsure of what to do. They seem as confused as you are, if somewhat more relaxed. Jade nods at you to signal you can trust the man.">>
<<narration "Grabbing your backpack, you get up, and the man is already on the run. Pacing through the cafeteria in tall strides, you struggle behind him, utterly lost. He talks without looking at you in a glacial tone.">>

<<sam "Yes.">>
<<white "And you're sure you're not a girl?">>
<<sam "Yes! You know, that's the first time I'm having this issue so I'm starting to think it's on you. Need glasses, maybe?">>

On one corner, a bunch of ancient books, single table with a sleek laptop and a couple of chairs. There's no natural light at all, only a dim fluorescent glow that flickers on and off at irregular intervals.">>
<<white "You're Sam Winters.">>
<<narration "He rests his body on the table, arms glued to his sides clawing at its edge.">>
<<sam "Surprisingly, yes, I haven't changed my name in the last two minutes.">>
<<white "You don't have a clue of what's going on, do you?">>
<<sam "Um, we're repeating my name and my gender while you stare back in disbelief?">>
<<narration "The man--Mr. White, was it?--turns his back at you as his only response. He kneels under the table; you can hear him rummaging for something you can't quite see. Your eyes wander around, trying to look for details in this unsuspecting room. Suddenly, a hint of a glint catches your attention.">>
<<white "Heads-up!">>
<<narration "You direct your eyes back to him, just in time to see a sharp metal implement darting towards you. A feeling of dread surges within you for a fraction of a second, before being displaced by an unbefitting sense of calmness. Time seems to slow down all around you--Mr. White is frozen in a grimace, arm extended. The metal object keeps moving towards you, but slowly now, as if cutting through a viscous substance. You examine it; it appears to be some kind of disk. Its edges are blunt, not sharp enough to cut through you but coming at you fast enough to hurt. You move out of the way, your body responding slowly but surely to your inputs. Suddenly, time picks up again and you see the disk flying by you. You managed to dodge it in time, somehow.">>
<<white "Amazing.">>
<<sam "What the hell?! Are you crazy?!">>
<<white "What the hell indeed, young Sam Winters. Take a seat, please, there's much to talk about.">>

You try a slash against the empty room and you notice your technique and your position feel weirdly studied, though you've never held such a weapon before. You launch into a series of slashes and thrusts.">>

You look for rounds on the shelves, and an old wooden box labeled Colt grabs your attention. Inside, you see a bunch of shiny bullets resting on top of a red velvet cushion. The bullets look too shiny to be regular lead rounds, but you couldn't quite say what they're made of. You load a chamber and roll the cylinder. Aiming at the furthest wall, you put yourself in firing position and make some pretend shots, mouthing pew pew under your breath.">>

He punches and kicks with precision and power, his movements fluid and deadly as he engages the attackers. You see that one of them is a woman with the same deformed face as the men who have attacked you in Mr. White's office. A vampire, you think to yourself, your mind racing as you try to make sense of what is happening.">>
<<narration "Without a moment of respite, the man in black grabs a trash can lid and uses it to shield himself from an incoming punch. Then, with a fluid motion, he hurls it like a boomerang, and it slices through the air with deadly accuracy. It strikes the vampire woman, cleanly slicing through her neck and instantly turning her to dust. The man fights with a skill and ferocity that leaves you in awe, and before long, he has made quick work of all the foes.">>

<<sam "Sorry, are we still talking about my body?">>
<<white "Yes, well, what I meant to say is that it would be of considerable scientific value to know just how capable are you to... get an erection.">>

<<narration "You push your thoughts away and focus on the present; the thought of the stakes in your backpack pulls you immediately back to reality. Your walk has led you to a secondary street behind a bar, with a couple of the patrons having a smoke outside.">>
<<narration "You scan them from a distance, try to look for any warning signs, but you're not even sure what are the signs. Unless you see the ugly mug of a vampire or someone's fangs going into someone else's neck, the best you can do is be alert and ready for anything.">>
<<narration "You keep moving forward, past the clubbers and a lonely junkie, uncomfortably aware of your limited experience, of how alone you are. Suddenly, you hear a faint cry in the distance.">>
<<narration "It's a ways away, but you could swear it sounded like someone being attacked. You focus your hearing and let it guide you through the rundown streets and into a maze of alleys and cul-de-sacs. The distant crying grows into a kind of wimpering, or maybe half-silenced agony from a blood-drained victim...">>
<<narration "You quicken your pace, stake in hand, adrenalin pumping--the noise is closer and closer, just behind that alley...">>

<<sam "What the fuck!?">>
<<narration "That's no vampire attack, that's some rough and rowdy public sex! The couple seem so into it that they haven't even noticed you arriving, stake in hand, panting and prepared for a fight. You feel your blood move in a rush to your cheeks, and you get ready to turn around and leave them to their thing when you notice something particular...">>
<<narration "Two things, to be precise. Two specks of red, about an inch apart, in the neck of the woman being thoroughly fucked. Could it be...? You take a closer look at the woman, then at the man. There's an aura to him... an evil emanation that you can't see, but you can somehow sense... you're not sure how, but you know that he is a vampire.">>
<<narration "You hesitate for a moment, it feels rude to attack someone mid-fuck. But, then again, it is kind of a strategic upperhand. You're still considering your options when the man turns his head slightly and finally notices you.">>
<<vamp1 "What the fuck!?">>
<<sam "That's what I said!">>
<<vamp1 "Can't you see that we're kinda busy around here?!">>
<<narration "The man keeps pumping as he speaks, showing commensurable focus--the woman, on the other hand, seems completely lost to the real world, vanished in a sea of ecstasy.">>
<<sam "Yeah, so, I'm not too concerned about the extreme PDA but I do draw the line at vampirism.">>
<<narration "The mention of the word triggers a cascade of reactions on the man, who immediately slides out of the woman and lets her fall to the ground--her eyes still glassy, empty, moans still escaping her lips. He turns to you now, full body on display, his erect member pointing straight at you.">>
<<vamp1 "Aha... are you one of them vampire bitches too? Out looking for some primo vamp cock?">>
<<sam "Ew. What? Eeew. No. That's not a thing, my dude. Wait, is it?">>
<<vamp1 "Heh, wouldn't you like to know...">>
<<sam "You know what, why don't we just skip to the part where I turn you to dust...">>
<<narration "You charge at him, stake in hand, aiming straight at his heart.">>
[[Continue->firstHunt4]] <<narration "From the first blows you can tell that you have the upperhand here. He manages to parry your first attempt at his heart--just barely--and counterattack with a clawed jab at your face, but his tempo is not quite up to yours. Neither his strengh, for that matter.">>
<<narration "The only things keeping you on your toes are the half-conscious woman on the ground, and the fully conscious dick swinging at you with every blow and parry. Your eyes keep darting away at it on every spare moment, making sure that your legs stay away from its own attacks, and you can't help but notice its size.">>
<<narration "It's... big. Positively huge. It makes you feel all the more inadequate when you think of the <<if $femininity > 1>>miniscule<<else>>small<</if>> counterpart tucked away in your own boxer briefs.">>
<<sam "So did the blood from this poor girl go straight to your dick? Jeesus dude.">>
<<vamp1 "Impressed? Imagine how it would feel inside of you...">>
<<narration "You do imagine it, for just a micro-second, before you can push away the thought. It feels like an aching, like a soft yearning down in your lower body, and it stirs your penis just a little bit.">>
<<sam "Imagine how this stake will feel inside of you...!">>
<<narration "You duck an attack, spin with your legs and raise your body just so until you find an opening to strike at the vampire heart with your stake. A mask of incredulity forms on his face for just a second before he explodes into dust. In front of you, the half-naked woman is still reeling from the passionate exchange.">>
<<sam "Lady, are you okay? Can you hear me? Let me help you...">>
<<narration "But your phrase is cut short, as the now familiar pang of your curse--the transformation--takes hold. You try to keep your eyes open, but immediately you notice your consciousness slipping away. The last thing you see before you fall is a dark, towering figure in the corner of your eyes...">>

<<molloch "Service me.">>
<<narration "Without complaint or hesitation, the figure positions herself between her Master's legs and expertly moves her hand towards his cock.">>
<<narration "With a trained motion, she lowers her lips to the pulsating member, kissing it at its tip, then greeting it with a small lick--soft, delicate, hungry. The licks extend to the shaft and the base and then the mouth engulfs the whole cock with passion and expertise, with need, and it starts bobbing up and down on it.">>
