I always liked Saturdays even as a human. It is my favorite day of the week, there is just something freeing about it. It makes sense, people get days off, no school. But it was always different for me. It meant no school for me to be terrorized and I could leave home to escape the neglect…and I could hang out with the boys Justin and Tyler. And that was exactly what I was doing as we were having fun and just messing around town. These days Saturdays were the days I didn’t have my fighting classes and didn’t go out to feed, it was only on Saturdays that I could truly be free and just relax. No work, no feeding.

That was at least the case, but not this Saturday. Justin and Tyler had told me about a gang that has appeared in the city. Never heard the name. As long as I don’t come across them and they don’t interrupt my nightly escapades, I couldn’t care less what they do.

“Dude, this gang might be dangerous, I’d be more careful if I were you” Justin tried to warn me.

“Whatever you say,” I said in an attempt to make him stop being concerned. It didn’t work.

We parted ways and I went to find a sewer outlet so I could make my way to the undercity. I chose a nearby alley which had good cover, but as soon as I went near it 2 thugs approached me.

“Hand over all your valuables.” one said. “Play nice and you can go home safe and sound today.” The other stated. I didn’t even bother with them and snapped their necks, leaving their corpses there. These two were even dumber than the rapists.

I didn’t have business in the city, just getting some help with the sword I’d been hiding under my bed. I took it upon myself to visit most of the hotspots of the vampires in this city. We have everything, cinemas, malls, and other places known only by the vampires. It’s fucking amazing.

I had left the sewers by around 8 pm. I did not expect to meet even more thugs like 10 minutes after I left.

“Look at this little shit. Have fun playing around in the sewers, like some homeless fuck.” The leader of the group mocked me. “Any way you have disrespected the Black mamba gang by killing a member and now you will be punished by death.” He said carelessly like it didn’t matter.

After his announcement, the other gang members started to make their way toward me. I instantly went on the offensive, using my full strength and kicking the nearest person on my right. I then blocked an attack on my left but was then dragged by the collar and thrown on the street. It looked like they had a speedster, which makes this troublesome. I jumped over the group and when I landed tried to drag one of them for a choke slam, to my surprise he hardened his fist like some black material and punched me in the side of the head. I had a massive headache and felt dizzy but they didn’t miss their chance, kicking and hitting me while I was on the ground.

“We aren’t like those lackeys’ kid, we were trained. You stood no chance against all of us.” He stated with a smirk on his face and a knife in his hand. Was he going to kill me. But I just started enjoying my life as a vampire. I can’t die. But alas, the knife still came down and buried itself in my chest.

‘HEART HAS BEEN SEVERELY DAMAGED. GOING INTO RECOVERY MODE NOW.’

Those were the last words I heard, before my sight faded and turned black.

As I awoke, the first thing I experienced was the smell of the dumpster my body was placed in.

‘Michael how the hell am I alive!’

‘You think we vrykirs die so easily. You may have only unlocked the vampire part of your powers, but our superior healing is just far more advanced than normal vampires!’

I had taken Michael’s words into account, but I had bigger problems on my hand.

‘How long was I out?’

‘A week.’

I had a lot of thing to think about. But there was one thing I knew. The black mamba gang had declared war. And I have no intentions to surrender.
