It was in the most ominous castle in the kingdom that he met her.
For him, it was supposed to be another simple hunt. She was a vampire.

He was the hunter sent to kill her.
His bow was already drawn when she suddenly shouted
"I only drink animal blood!"

One sentence. One sentence was all it took to make him hesitate. Vampires were humanity's enemies. He had spent years hunting them without question.

So why was he questioning it now?
Why did this vampire deserve to die?
As the distance between them shrank, she began to seem less like a monster and more like a person.

But while his heart wavered, his mission remained the same.
To him, she was becoming human.
To his bow, she was still just another vampire waiting to die.

Did she manipulate him?
Or did he simply find an excuse not to pull the trigger.
