She was running as fast as she could. All around her, silent roads and dimmly lit houses were the only witnesses of the hunt taking place.
A hunt it was and she was the prey.
Her invisible stalker was right behind her, she could feel his breath on her shoulders.
How did she get involved in the first place? She was trying to think what she had done wrong in her life.
She went to church each and every Sunday, even on holidays and she was polite to everyone.
She had never lied or cheated her husband and she had been like a daughter to his parents.
She cooked and kept the house clean and made love to him whenever he wanted.
She was a proper Christian after all!
Only one thing was missing, a child, after all this was a woman's purpose in this life.
She was still young, barely 25 years old. She still had time.
But her husband became more and more violent. The more she wouldn't get pregnant the more he pressured her. He was practically raping her every night.
And then one night he hit her, he hit her hard and from that night forward he was hitting her all the time until she couldn't take it anymore.
She tried to convince herself that he was her husband and her master till death would do them apart and that was when the idea of death crossed her mind.
NO! Not for her but for him.
And that was what she did. She kept a small knife hidden in her dress and one night, when he hit her and tried to rape her she thrust the knife into the man's torso and the she run, filled with panic and despair.
Next thing she remembers she was in a dark alley with her hands and clothes covered in the blood of her husband and master.
The murder weapon still inside her left hand.
She switched it around and aimed it for her heart when HE appeared out of nowhere.
He grabbed her hand and took the knife away.
-No Nansy, your life doesn't end tonight!
-M-My name is not Nansy, she muttered.
-Yes it is, you are my Nansy. Now and forever.
-Are you the devil? Have you come to collect me for my sins?
-Ha-ha!!! The devil? Not at all but yes i am here to collect you Nansy and give you life eternal! said the man and let his canines be seen.
He was one of them, the creatures of the night, bloodsucking monsters and she was going to die in his arms.
So she did what every person would do...she run!
Her stalker was faster and he didn't seem to get tired, he was probably just toying with her.
At some point her muscles betrayed her and she fell down on her knees.
-Kill me now monster! she cried.
-Kill you? I am here to love you Nansy, to love and honor you like no one has ever done for you. To give you eternal life and the power to avenge what's not right in our world. I don't want your blood or your soul Nansy, I need you to be my bride in my eternal hunt for justice!
-I don't understand.
-You will, in time, but first there are things to be done.
-Like what?
-If you are to enter MY world you need to do so not as a mortal human but as an immortal creature.
-I need you to sever all the ties to your mortal life. Fire will cleanse them and like a phoenix you will rise from the ashes forever to stand by my side.
And that was what she did. First her husband's parents followed by hers, all dead by her own hand and in the end the fire erased all the evidence.
She hated the man for what he had made her do but she understood the reasons.
You can't become immortal if you still hold mortal ties inside you, your eternal life would be miserable if you did.
-Eventually you will understand my reasons too, Mr. Paul Anageropoulos, she said while she was preparing the stage for tonight's "party".
-You will understand and thank me.
