It is 2004, Sunnyvale — California.

Rumors about a folkloric creature, lurking around the city were spreading. A few believed it was just a rumor and it was made up to scare people.

While some others took it seriously. Ensuring they were home before it got dark, and always carried a plant known as "Vervain" that burns and weakens a vampire's senses.

These blood—sucking creatures were known to hunt people and drain all their blood, they were able to compel humans with their abilities, making them obey forcefully. However, humans under the effect of Vervain could not be compelled and could see through the compulsion.

Basically, Vervain and a stake through the heart was a biggest vampire's enemy.

You, yourself was a vampire, you have been one for as long as you can remember. You had a ring that you NEVER took off, it was a daylight ring; forged by your best friend Bonnie, who is a practicing witch. It ensured that you don't get burned under the sun, allowing you to roam freely during the day, like any other human.

Obviously, you possessed superstrength, superhearing, regeneration, compulsion and speed; as your vampiric abilities. Bonnie was the only person you trusted enough to tell her about your identity.

Moreover, there was an extremely rare type of these folkloric creatures; an "Augustine" vampire. In other words, vampire cannibalism.

They were creatures who fed on other vampires, unlike average vampires who feed on humans. They had the same supernatural abilities as a normal vampire, except that their's were ten times more heightened and stronger.

It's very unlikely to run into these unique vampires.

[ PRESENT TIME ]

It was halloween, the perfect event for you to go hunting. People usually mistook your fangs as a fake cosmetic, you were able to go away with it just because it was halloween.

You snuck into a packed party, looking for the perfect prey. Your eyes automatically landed on a drunk guy in the corner, drinking his feelings away.

You seized the chance and made sure no one was watching, before quenching your hunger. When you were done, you dragged his limp, unconscious body to a nearby dumpster, that was behind the party house and tossed it there.

You felt a little shiver down your spine, it was your senses screaming at you. Something is off, as soon as you turned around.

You were greeted by a tall, dark, illuminating man, he smelled like blood himself. You figured he was just another vampire and brushed it off, but before you could walk away, he spoke up.

— "It's a little disrespectful to toss your prey like that, no? At least give them a proper burial."

He said with a deep, condescending and stoic voice. Crossing his arms, his gaze lingered at you and the body in the dumpster.
