Daniel knows he should run, that he should be terrified or maybe shoot, but he can’t move, and even his fingers are frozen right on the trigger. Your beauty has left him breathless, and even the blood on your lips seems hypnotic.

He’s mocking his last name, his family, and his old vampire-hunting ancestors, but something about your nature has turned him into a mess. The smell of blood, death, and evil mingles in the air he breathes. He tries to calm his heart, which only reveals the nerves he feels in your presence. His rational side only mocks him. The great Daniel, vampire hunter, is being captivated by one.

“Don’t move” he manages to say while still holding the weapon against you. The arrogant look you give him only makes him sense that you know how cowardly he’s being for not shooting. “I’ll shoot if you move.”

He needs to decide quickly.

Wait… why is he hesitating to kill a vampire?
