Abel shuddered with delight as the blade pierced the pale barrier of his new captive "plaything",

"Hello there night-child..." grunted Abel, not needing to try too hard to be intimidating and frightening, given the circumstances,

"Y'know... there's only one way to kill you freaks..." he whispered playfully into her ear, forcing her un-dead heart to beat painfully quickly

"So we're gunna try every other way first!" he grinned, running his tongue along her neck and sliding the blade effortlessly along her leg, tearing the light fabric of her tights as he did so,

"Abel!" Called a female figure, shadowed in the doorway by the pale light of dusk. Abel raised his head, brushing the stray locks of hair from his eye,

"Now Abel!" she barked whilst pointing to her feet as if beckoning a dog to her heels. Abel sighed, throwing his new playmate into the path of the sunlight and frowning,

"Cynthia..." he moaned as the last of the ashes danced into the sunlight quickly vanishing as they were burned away, although the smell of burnt flesh still lingered in the air where the ashes did not and to Abel that was some consolation.

Cynthia was a collected girl, keeping her emotions at arms length and never indulging herself in the pleasure some lower night-hunter's felt in their assassinations: Abel was one such Hunter,

Cynthia lowered her sunglasses, glaring at the slowly lowering sun,

"Come on Abel!" urged Cynthia,

"The sun'll be down soon and you know what will happen." Abel scratched his head, cocked one eyebrow and stood up,

"Won't the moon come out?" he asked, clearly Abel wasn't following her train of thought. Cynthia sighed, pushed up her sunglasses and rubbed the small stretch of skin where her nose met her forehead,

"Exactly. And then we'll pull that whole burning trick your friend just demonstrated a few seconds ago." she informed him, his look of child-like confusion quickly morphing into one of child-like understanding, Abel let out a long "Ah" of realisation and gestured toward the vehicle that had parked outside the Vampire hovel no more than five minutes before.

Daylight and UV rays... Kill vampires, are we in agreement?

What if that reflection of UV rays (AKA the moon) could also kill vampires? A different kind of vampire whom moonlight dealt far more harm and sunlight was as pleasant as it is to me (or perhaps you, though you could be a vampire)

The Night-hunters despise their moonlight favored brethren and though the vampires are considerably more gentle and peace-loving they are superior in numbers and the Night-hunters fear that if they were ever to be discovered by their brethren, then they would be destroyed, thus the Night-Hunters have been waging a silent, one-sided war on vampires for centuries.
Character List -

Cynthia: A high-ranked night-hunter. Big sister to Abel, long red hair, rides a motorcycle, wields two pistols: Hope and Despair. Incredibly attractive and broke many a man's heart... with her teeth.
Abel: Another night-hunter, adores his big sister Cynthia whom was "looked after" him for centuries. Incredibly difficult to control and finds he is constantly trying to suppress an urgent bloodlust. Has been likened on many occasion to a wild beast due to his large build and wild hair.
Jess: A vampire of noble lineage, having had to abandon her Mother due to horrific events that took place in her past. Lives for books, or rather has lived for books and now she feels her seemingly immortal existence craves adventure rather than knowledge.
"My Lady": A woman deep in depression. It is revealed to us that she is Jessica's mother, having comitted some grave sin to ward away her only child. Lives in a mansion, her every whim catered for by faithful servants, though her whims are only that to be alone, only accepeting food, conversation and advice from Weston.
Weston: Faithful manservant and friend to "My Lady" though he wishes it could've evolved to something more before her saddening madness took over her. A father figure to Jess, and quite often listened for hours to her problems, though has not had much contact with her since the incident.
Gareth: Unfortunate prisoner of the Night-Hunters, and more specifically of Cynthia and Abel. Has a dark past leading him not to feel any respect or fear for himself and his wellbeing.
