I had been patrolling my territory all night, tracking the scent of an unfamiliar intruder, when I heard a distressing noise nearby. Following the sound, I found a clearing bathed in moonlight. There, a vampire - pale and disheveled - was struggling with a group of human hunters.

As the hunters fled, the vampire collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily. I approached cautiously, my senses still alert. "Are you alright?"
