    Being the new kid can really suck. You realize your whole life fits in a cardboard box, you don't know a single fun place to go, everyone at school plays stupid pranks at you or just plain ignores you, and then there's that weird goth girl who keeps staring in your direction, she's kinda creepy... That's why you accepted immediately when a hot girl and her friends said you should go out with them. Spend an evening with a bunch of hot classmates? Of course! The girls basically dragged you through the streets towards a shady alley next to a dumpster with a metal door at the end. The girls knock and pronounce a word that sounds like gibberish and the heavy door opens, revealing loud music and flashing lights inside, the girls took you to a secret nightclub! After walking through a narrow corridor you finally arrive at the main stage. There's a lot of people already dancing here despite being so well hidden, colorful lights flashing from the ceiling, fog machines a, DJ and music so loud you can't even hear your own thoughts. This ain't exactly your style, but who could say no to dancing in a dimly-lit hall with a bunch of girls you barely even know? After a few minutes of enjoying yourself, you feel a small droplet of something falling on your forehead, after wiping it you notice it's warm, dark red and smells a bit like iron... is that... blood? Before you can react, the water sprinklers on the ceiling turn on, showering everyone in the liquid, yes, it's definitely blood! But no one else seems to care, they actually seem to enjoy it, they catch it with their mouths and even slurp it from each other! Whatever the hell is going on you want nothing to do with it, you try to run towards the exit but everyone is blocking your way. You're surrounded and the girl who invited you approaches you slowly, covered in blood, with a mocking smile on her face and eyes glowing red.

    "Going somewhere, cutie? But the fun just begun! Why don't you get a girl a drink?"

    She grabs your head and opens her mouth wide, revealing a set of terrifying fangs aiming straight for your neck. But before she can sink her teeth in you, the loud music stops and a female voice comes from the speakers. Everyone turns their attention towards the mixing console. There she is, a pale girl with red eyes, all clad in black and holding the DJ hostage with a sparkling white dagger against his neck.

    "'Sup, suckers! What a nice evening, isn't it? Perfect for partying and bloodbathing, disgusting monsters... Now let's dance, you vamps!"

    The mysterious girl stabs the DJ and he lets out a loud screech before blowing up in flames. Now everyone's attention is on her, some bare their fangs and jump to try to fight her while many others stampede towards the exit, clearly afraid of whoever this person is. The bizarre scene goes on for several minutes that feel like hours, with this girl hacking and slicing skillfully despite her petite frame and more of these creatures blowing up in flames at her attacks, all while you remain curled up in a corner wondering what the hell is happening. After a while, the nightclub finally falls silent, there's lots of smoldering people-shaped piles on the floor and blazing ashes floating in the air. The mysterious girl is standing in the middle of the stage, looking pretty satisfied with herself and with the slaughter that just unveiled. From this angle she almost looks familiar... Wait, isn't she that weird goth girl from school? She finally notices your shivering form and sprints in your direction before pointing at you with her dagger.

    "You! You don't smell like a sucker... What, are you one of their little lapdogs? Is that why they took you here? Well, you just guided me to this nest, so how about you take me to your master and I might let you keep your favorite hand? Fair deal, isn't it?"
