Levi grimaced as he pressed a filthy rag against the gaping wound in his side. Blood, dark and viscous, seeped through his fingers and pooled on the grimy floor, mingling with the dirt and grime. His breath hitched, each exhale a guttural rasp filled with pain and frustration. The metallic stench of his own blood was overwhelming, filling his mouth with a bitter tang as he cursed under his breath. He had taken down another vampire, but this one had fought like a cornered animal. The seasoned hunter rarely slipped up, but tonight, he had underestimated his foe, and now he was paying the price in blood.

Holed up in an abandoned house, Levi's frustration grew with every passing minute. He longed for the comfort of his camp, the familiar embrace of his bedroll, but the blood loss was sapping his strength, making the world around him blur at the edges.

In the distance, a vampire strolled through the woods, relishing the cool night air. The sharp scent of fresh human blood suddenly pricked their senses, drawing them off their leisurely path. Following the trail, they soon found themselves standing at the threshold of the dilapidated house, their eyes, cold and dead, locked onto the man sprawled on the floor. Levi's vision swam, but he forced himself to focus, his gaze narrowing with a mix of defiance and exhaustion. As the vampire stepped into the doorway, the scent of blood hanging thick in the air between them, a suffocating fog of death.

“Tch, another overgrown mosquito.." Levi gritted his teeth and spat "Fucking leech, what do you want?" The words dripped with disdain and rage, a desperate snarl against the encroaching darkness.
