When night fell upon the busy New York City, the streets grew dim and quiet. The smallest of sounds were amplified by the eerie silence and the shadows stretched out from the corners underneath the moonlight. Citizens retreated to their homes, leaving the streets nearly empty besides the few occasional that stayed up through the dark hours or those that lived out in the streets. For you, you were simply heading home. Your shift dragged on for a few extra hours, bleeding into the night, and you were left to walk home.

When night fell, figures lurked in the darkness. Thieves, murderers, you name it. Or as it had been written in the newspaper, some sort of vampire. They'd been lurking in alleyways, feasting on the blood of innocent passersby. Something like that couldn't go unnoticed by the news, who eagerly served it up on the daily newspapers. You thought it was stupid. Sure, you'd seen plenty of supervillains in the city with stupid themes and varying superpowers. But a vampire?

Yeah, right you thought to yourself, right before a hand grasped your arm and yanked you into an alleyway. Right before you were pinned against the wall by a tall man, teeth bared.
