Chapter 16

New York City

Vince slammed against the wall of the building then fell to the pavement. Blood gushed from his bald head, obscuring the tattoos that ran along the side of his skull. He was a strong man, but his strength was nothing compared to the strength of the vampire he now faced.

Vince was the leader of the most powerful gang in New York. He controlled what was left of Manhattan and the southern half of Brooklyn. Since the bombings, Vince’s life actually improved. Instead of a street thug, he became a warlord. A respected leader in the new New York.

As he got to his feet and looked at the unconscious bodies of his twelve best men, he couldn’t help but wonder if his good fortune had finally run out. Vince had killed his share of vampires, but none of them had been anything like the monster now facing him.

The vampire had swooped in from nowhere and quickly beat the shit out of all of his men. Vince was sure he’d landed a stake right in the vampire’s heart, but apparently he missed because the bastard just pulled it out and tossed it aside.

“What’s your name?” the vampire asked.

“You’ll never know,” Vince said.

The vampire cocked an eyebrow. “That’s weird. What’s the big deal about telling me your name?”

“It’s not a big deal,” Vince said. “I’m just not the kind of guy who takes orders from bloodsuckers.”

“Fine by me,” the vampire said. “I’m in a good mood, so I’ll let you decide how this all plays out. Do you want to be the first person I drain, or would you rather see me kill your friends first?”

“Neither.”

The voice came from somewhere behind the vampire.

They both looked toward the street and saw a young man walking toward them. He held a stake in each hand and was wearing a Day Soldiers uniform.

The vampire looked at Vince and said, “You have Day Soldiers working for you? I’m impressed.”

“He’s not one of mine,” Vince said.

The vampire turned back to the Day Soldier. “You’re kinda scrawny for a Day Soldier.”

“Leave these people alone,” the Day Soldier said, “and I’ll let you live.”

The vampire laughed. “Kid, any one of these people would kill you just for walking down their street. I’m doing you a favor.”

“This is your last chance, vampire,” the Day Soldier said. “Leave now, or die.”

The vampire glanced back at Vince. “Don’t go anywhere. This won’t take long.”

Vince looked around the alley. The street ahead was the only way in or out. “Couldn’t go anywhere if I wanted to.”

The vampire dashed toward the Day Soldier.
