"Kill this bastard!" The boss shouted as he pointed at Jack, his arm shaking just as his eyes which had widened beyond belief as he stared at Jack.
"Arrghh!!"
With loud rage-filled screams the gangsters rushed toward Jack who looked around him for but a moment and then disappeared.
This time it wasn't the guns which fell down to the ground broken.
It was the men themselves.
Thirty-six gangsters fell down onto the ground at the same time.
Their figures distorted with some missing arms, others missing their heads whilst some even looked like they had been scrunched up into a ball and all of their bones had been crushed.
It was a massacre, and to Jack, it felt like he was a human crushing an ant nest.
No matter how many ants gathered up together, they would never be able to defeat a human.
The kidnapped victims stood silent, tears falling down their cheeks and to their chins as they stared at the carnage around them.
They were in shock, not knowing how to react to the abnormal situation they had found themselves in.
Their brains had decided that this was too much for them and shut down most of their thought processes so that they would be able to protect themselves, if not physically then atleast mentally.
Jack appeared in front of the gangster boss once more.
"So you were saying you were going to sell me like a slave?" Jack asked with a light smile before grasping the man's neck with his hand so quickly that he had no way of dodging it.
Holding the man up, his feet leaving the ground Jack continued to give the man a smile.
"How about you become mine? I've been desperate to try this out for a while now." Jack thought as he brought the man closer to him, close enough that the man's neck was now in front of Jack.
"Let's hope that I can stop myself before I drain you completely," Jack mumbled before opening his mouth.
His fangs seemed to extend even further than usual, and then they bit into the man's nape, digging deep into the man's flesh, blood erupted out almost instantly, covering half of Jack's face.

Jack's eyes became a deeper shade of crimson, his lips curled up as he continued to drink the man's blood.
It was delicious, so delicious that Jack felt like he was in heaven.
A personal heaven made just for him, where nothing else besides this delicious blood mattered.
It was at that moment however that Jack heard a sound.
[ Ding! ]
[ User has passed Intelligence Check. 20/10 ]
And then it happened in an instant as if a switch had been turned off.
The unbearable thirst died down and Jack could finally control himself.
It wasn't that he didn't still find the blood an utter delicacy however he could actually control himself when drinking it.
He wasn't like some depraved addict who had found a dosage of drugs after weeks of withdrawal.
Thoughts finally returned to Jack's mind.
'Controlling yourself whilst you are indulging in human blood is quite a lot harder than simply not drinking human blood, who could have guessed?' Jack thought to himself sarcastically before another more serious line of thought took over his mind.
'How do i turn him? I dont have that venom that the cold ones have anymore. Does he just turn because i bit him?' Jack thought before he decided on a line of action.
'In some fiction, the vampire needs to give the human their blood for them to transform so I'll try that as well since I'm already doing the biting.' Jack thought as he quickly bit his own tongue and used it to inject the blood into the man.
'Thankfully there is no skin left on him or this would have been utterly disgusting.' Jack thought to himself as he parted ways with the man's neck.
The spot he had bitten didn't look like what the movies showed vampire bites as.
It looked like some feral beast had taken a chunk of flesh out of the man's neck, blood flowing all over, covering more than half the victim's body.
Jack wasn't faring much better either as his entire shirt was soaked in red blood, not to mention his face which looked like he had dived into a lake of blood.
'I should learn how to drink like a gentleman.' Jack thought to himself as he thought of taking a glass bottle with him everywhere he went so that he could drink blood without causing a large mess.
'And I'll look badass' Jack thought to himself with a smirk before he shook his head in disappointment at his own thoughts and turned around and looked at the kidnapping victims who were looking at him as if he was the devil himself.
'I guess I do look like that don't I?' Jack thought before walking to the first man who was still on the ground with his arms tied behind his back.
"Ill give you a choice, either join me as a vampire or die." Jack told the man, a shaky smile stood on Jacks face as he faced him however Jack didnt back down.
The man seemed to come to his senses slowly, his cloudy eyes returning to focus as he stared at Jack.
"Become a vampire or.... die?" The man asked, his voice shaking as he stood face to face with Jack.
"Yes, now choose, i dont have a lot of time." Jack said as a thought went through his mind.
'This situation, its strangely similar isnt it?' Jack thought to himself as his mind went back to a month ago, back inside the Cullen mansion, standing infront of supernatural monsters who had given him an ultimatum.
Either death or joining them and becoming a monster himself.
'And I told myself that I would never become like them, I'm turning out to be one fucked up monster aren't I?' Jack thought to himself however he didn't back down from his decision.
