whilst cracking a smile.
    ‘Oh sorry. So what happened?’ She asks showing real interest in anything Will has to say.
    ‘Well I thought it would be cool to be a doctor. You know saving lives, being a hero to the patients families, but in the end I just couldn’t keep up. Too much stuff to learn and remember. My brain just couldn’t handle it.’ Will says still with a smile on his face. His smile fades as he notices Katie staring up at him with a saddened expression.
    ‘Bit ironic that you wanted to be a hero and save lives and now you’re a bad guy who has to take them.’ Katie and Will just look at each other both silent as the grave.
    ‘That just depends on how you look at it.’ A man’s voice from outside of the hut. Both Will and Katie jump to their feet and run out into the park. As they stop and turn back they notice a figure of a man kneeling on the hut roof.
    ‘Who are you? And what do you want?’ Will shouts as he positions himself in front of Katie to protect her. The man slowly stands to his feet. He leaps into the air. Will and Katie are stunned, they both believe instantly they are dealing with a vampire. The man lands a meter in front of the two. He’s rugged. His hair cut like he had a military background. His chiselled face covered with scars, a major scar ran from his mouth up to his left ear. He has a built physique covered with a long black jacket only revealing metal studded boots peering from the bottom.
    ‘The name’s Leofric. And I’m here to kill you.’
     
     
    CHAPTER 5:
    WARRIORS AND LACKEYS
     
     
    J eff entered the extravagant entrance to The Ruby Hotel frantically trying to rub the dried blood from his face and around his mouth. He makes his way over the front desk. The young woman behind the desk that the recruits met earlier arises from behind the desk, she quickly fixes her eyes on Jeff making his way over to her. Her eyes widen in shock as she notices the blood around Jeff’s mouth and now healed stab wound. Without any hesitation the young woman hurries around the desk and grabs Jeff by his sleeve and pulls him through a door marked maintenance room. The room is dark and claustrophobic. The young woman flips the light switch revealing wooden shelving on the left hand wall filled with various cleaning products. Just below an inordinate amount of buckets and all different kinds of mops some on the floor others perched against the wall. On the right hand wall a grubby mirror hangs above a dirty sink. Rust, mould, lime scale and cracks cover the sink. Jeff looks at this and horror fills his head at the thought of having to use that sink to wash the blood from his skin.
    ‘Use the sink and wash the blood from your face and hands sir. What on earth were you thinking just walking in here looking like that?’ Snaps the young woman as she quickly covers her mouth with her hand and retreats back into herself. Jeff looks directly into her eyes, he has to, they stand almost nose to nose due to the cramped conditions. Jeff turns the warm tap. A sputter of dirty brownish water spits from the faucet before the constant stream of clean water begins to flow through into the mouldy bowl and down the drain. Jeff begins with washing his hands; the water runs clean from the faucet but stains a dirty red as blood begins to wash from his hands. Jeff rubs his hands together to speed up the washing process as he begins to fill with disgust as what’s on his hands, he refuses to let himself look in the mirror and see his blood soaked mouth. Sick begins to boil in his stomach as he still tastes the metallic taste of blood in his mouth and around his lips.
    ‘If you’re going to enter here at any point looking the way you do, please sir use the back entrance as to not be seen by our human customers.’ The young lady states in a more soothing tone.
    Jeff raises his head without thinking and catches his face in the mirror, a horror filled his heart, not at what he looked like or what he had
