Prologue - Vampires
The nightly shadows dawned over the Brooklyn alley; the mist heavily cast over the concrete ground. A lonely Bum travels through them looking for a nice place to spend his night. The dark bags under his eyes started growing heavier by the minute, until finally he decided to pass out where his feet fell. Even though it rained the old street Bum was tired, and didn't want to go anywhere else. He slowly crawled under a small piece of damping cardboard, and tried to sleep. Yet he couldn't, not far off along the alley a tin can rolled along. Clink, clink, and clink it rolled, sounding as if somebody was kicking. Not wanting to be disturbed, he crawled up into a tight ball, trying to cover his body completely by the frail piece of cardboard. He thought he succeeds, but he was wrong.
Clink, clink, ting; the Can had made its way to the street Bum, and so did the mysterious kicker. The street Bum tried to stay where he was, but then he a felt a soft kick on the cardboard. Well anger rushed through the Bum, and he quickly crawled out from the piece of cardboard. The Bum was surprised when he saw what was standing there. It was a little girl, blonde, green eyes, and a tattered blue dress. "Little girl, why are you out here all alone, and this late at night." The Bum spoke carefully, and concerned; the Bum was secretly hoping for a home cook meal, or a bed as a reward for the lost child. The child didn't reply to the Bum, but she just stared blankly at him.
As the Bum shifted his position so did the girl. She was now in the crystal light of the moon. The bellowing moon light gave the Bum a chance to clearly see the little girl. Her skin was wrinkled, and gray. Her eyes sunken way into her face, her pupils bloodshot, and there was heavy dark circle under her eyes; the bags under her eyes were as black as the abyss that followed her. He slowly rose, and put a hand on the girl's shoulder. As soon as the bums hand landed on her shoulder the little girl reacted. She backed away, and started to scream. Her eyes jumped forward and turned blood-red. The scream coming out of her mouth was more of an alarm, then a scream. She keep screaming, and back up as the Bum moved.
The Bum was scared, and didn't know what was happening. Quickly he decided that he would run; so he did. He ran through the alley way, his feet splashing along the puddles produced by the rain. He kept running, and as he did he didn't even think of looking back. Then he saw the advancing shadows leaping across the roof tops. Seeing this made him run faster, and faster. He was about into the safety of the street, and public. Then his feet flew from under him, and he flew forward, slowly falling to the ground. As he reached impact his knees popped, sending pain shooting up his legs, then into his body. Not having the strength to get up, he crawled trying to get help. He started to scream, hoping to get a person attention, but he didn't get any whatsoever. He kept crawling, and crawling until the shadows came down from the roof tops.
The things came down fast, and landed without a struggle at all. The Bum painfully looked up at the things. They mostly looked normal besides for the shrunken eyes, and gray wrinkled skin. The things had the same physical features as the girl the Bum encountered not long ago. The Bum looked up at the creature with eyes filled with fear. His heart was pumping wildly, and blood was pulsing rapidly in his temples. "What are you things, and what do you want from Me." The Bum screamed at the things standing there in front of him; they didn't reply. Then the creatures dropped to their knees, and gripped the Bum in their grips. The Bum tried to scream, but as the creatures gripped him his body relaxed, and sort of shut down. Fearful and dazed he watched the creatures. Their jaws arched, and two sharp long teeth protruded through their tops gums; sliding teeth out-of-the-way as they came. Their eyes became mere silts, and turned entirely black. Then they closed in on the poor Bum, know also known as their new meal.
They slid their teeth into the victim's arms, and being to draw what they needed. They weren't taking his blood, but instead they were sucking his soul dry, and depleting his life force. The bum's skin was quickly turning gray, and withering. Then his eye drew in, and sunk into his face. With one last second the Bum's heart stopped pulsing, and his skin grew cold. The creature stood up, and they started to change. Their skin grew plump, and color quickly returned to their body. Their eyes pushed forward, grew color again; the normal outside white, and the center pupil a dashing blue.
Then one spoke from out of nowhere. "Stupid street Bums don't know when were even coming; Being as stupid, and naive as they are, these Bums are make hunting a lot easier." The one said. "Don't get cocky. We got one, but let force was weak in this one, we will need more by sunrise if we want to survive another night." The other creature said maturely to other. Then with that they jumped into the night, and started to sprint a top Brooklyn's slum tops. Quickly they were engulfed by the night shadows.

Part 1 - Different
A young guy with the name of Sergel, and of at least the age of 18 stood in the alley way. Watching the poor Bum get attacked. He would have tried to helped, but he was immobilized by fear. He heard the screaming of the bum, and came running to help him. Then he saw the two shadows jump down from the roof top, and even after the things left he stayed where he was. For several more minutes he stayed just staring at the body of the poor man. He was caught off guard, and filled with disbelief. Slowly the corpse lifted his self off the ground, and started to walk away.
Yes, Sergel was filled with fear, but he was also filled with curiosity. So he was going to find out how the Bum just stood up after getting brutally murder. That's what he planned to do, so he stealthily got up, and started to follow the stumbling bum. Slowly rounding the corner he watched the Bum clumsily walk down the street. Quickly Sergel started to realize something was changing in the man. The Bum was walking faster, and his posture was straightening. Well now the Bum was running at full speed, and it was all that Segel could do to keep up. The Bum quickly turned off into an alley. Running just as fast Sergel turned into the same alley trying to stay at the same pace. Right as Sergel turned into the alley way he watched the Bum take off into the shadows. Sergel was baffled at what he witnessed. One moment the guy was running, and next he flew off into the sky shadows, with a single leap at that.
So Sergel just stood there watching, just staring at the sky; Mesmerized by what he witness. His body chilled by the fact of the paranormal events that he just watched through his own eyes. Finally he decided to go home, and figure it all out. Mostly because he believe that if he stood around any longer he probably would have been attacked like the Bum had. So he got up, and started to walk away, and he did so quickly. Every sound he heard made him freak, and turn around in a 360 degree; and in the city there was always a noise. Sergel had also watched every shadow until he was clear out-of-the-way of it. It was hard, and his heart was racing almost like a humming-bird when he got to his house, but he made it. Sergel felt like it had been hours he spent trying to get home, and by the time he did he was dead tired. Saying the word dead made him shiver, and laugh; it was an eerie combination, but he let it come, and go gradually.
He walked to the door, and slid his spare key from out of a hollow point above the handle. He slid the key into the lock, and turned it; the door came easily. Sergel walked inside, and locked the door behind him. He flipped on the light in his kitchen. His kitchen was a small, but quiet roomy. The floor was lined with blue diamond tile, and the walls were covered in green paint, with few chunks, and chips in the wall. Sergel walked up to the fridge, and grabbed a soda out of it. Then walking out of the kitchen he left the light on; he was still paranoid of what he witnessed earlier before. He went and sat down in the living room; it was the living room was the largest area next to kitchen.
The floor was covered with red shaggy carpet, and a large blue throw rug carpet in the middle of the room. A medium 20 inch TV sat on top of a rolling cart in his living room, which he moved around to different places within his home. He only had one piece of furniture; a large couch which belonged to his grandparents, he got when grandparents passed. He sat on the couch for a couple of minutes drinking his soda, and then he felt the sleep coming on so he decided to go to bed; it was almost a challenge trying not to stumble, and fall getting to the bedroom. His room was the smallest room of them all just enough room for a bed, and a dresser. He climbed into bed, and closed his eyes; it only took a couple of minutes for him to drift off.
*************************************************************
Sergel slept hard during the night, and didn't wake once. It was late in the night when Sergel's worst fears came to life. Guided by shadows, and accompanied by the night, a creature appears at the foot of Sergel's apartment. It was the creature he saw earlier that attacked the bum; the creature's name was Ramsey. Even though it was only hours ago Ramsey was starting to lose his life force. The Bum provided a quick meal, but he knew it was only going to last a little while, and now he was ready for more. Ramsey was sent on a mission to retrieve the human who witnessed the attack on the bum, and that's where he was now. He slowly climbed up the building into the fire escape, until he was In front of window of Sergel's apartment. So bad he wanted to break in, and kill him, and take his soul for his own. Yet he couldn't do that for two reasons. Ramsey and his kind couldn't enter a victim's house uninvited, and or with a last chance of a withering soul. Then the other reason was if he went rogue, and didn't complete his mission, he would be tracked down, and killed.
He decided that he needed to hurry, and get the human; because he couldn't wait any longer to get more energy that he needed. So he knocked on the window, over, and over. Then he touched his throat a little, and began to speak. "Please help me, I need help please." Ramsey sounded just like a little child. "Please help, help me please." Ramsey felt morally proud of his skill. He learned it while back and now he could change his voice when pleased. Then spoke again hoping he would get the humans attention.
"Please help me if the guy finds me again he will kill me." Waiting in the shadows Ramsey watched, and then a devious smile whipped across his face. He slowly watched as the human (Sergel) walked to the window, and opened it up. He slowly put his head out, and looked out onto the fire escape, "Hello, hello kid where are you." Sergel spoke out into the darkness. "If you can hear me, come here, and come in, and I'll help you get home." then out of the darkness came Ramsey, and slowly Sergel backed up when he saw the creature. Ramsey walked through the window, and deviously said, "Well, if it isn't the little human that was dropping in on our little meal." Then Ramsey jumped forward, and grabbed Sergel in his cold clutches, and jumped away into the night.
