I could feel his presence not that far away, though I already had an idea of where he could have gone. I ran to where he was, and I saw him drinking blood from some Nazi soldiers. I moved fast and removed him from the soldiers. Everything was too fast for the human eye to see.

-You cannot interfere into human affairs!- I said almost strangling him against a tree.

-They're evil!-

-And from now on, so are you!-

-We're at war!-

-You are not longer a soldier, you are a vampire now-

-I thought we're supposed to feed from humans-

-Feed, not kill unless you want to die- I swallowed saliva- every time a vampire is made, a hunter is called. A human hunter, stronger than us, faster than us, the only difference is this person doesn't know he or she is a hunter.

-What? A hunter?-

-Exactly, our existence shouldn't be! The hunters make sure the vampires don't take over the world.

-Why don't they know they're hunters?-

-Some know, others don't... I don't know exactly. I only know they're not aware they are, and once they kill a vampire, the world is even again, so the hunter stops being a hunter.

-I don't understand-

-I was pretty clear, my brave little soldier. The hunters are not aware most of the time, anyone could be a hunter. When they're not hunters anymore, this person usually wakes up sore, with blacks that can't be explained, his/her whole body hurts without knowing why, some even have scratches. While they're hunters, all the pain that could be done while they're “sleeping” is never felt. Once they stop being hunters, they no longer have powers or that strength, so they feel the pain of their battles. Have you ever woken up with scratches, pains you couldn't explain? Or days in which you were extremely tired?-

-sometimes.

-Then you could've been a hunter once, any human has the chance-

-So... I could've called a hunter by killing those humans?-

-The moment you were made, a hunter was called. He or she could be anywhere-

-So not necessarily here-

-No, anywhere in the world.-

-What about the born vampires? Any time a vampire is born... a hunter is called too?

-No-

-Why?-

-Born vampires are not immortal the way we are. Remember?-

-What do they do?-

-Patience is a virtue. First things, first. We must run away from here, thanks to you. I don't want any hunter to track us down. You don't know how to use your powers yet.-

-Powers?-

-All of your senses are more developed now-

-Oh... before I went hunting, I could overhear those...-

I slapped him before he finished his sentence. It wasn't a human slap, he was thrown against another tree by my strength.

-You are not a soldier anymore, you are a creature of the night! A dark entity! And if you can't understand it. You'll get us both killed! But before that happens, I will kill you first, I swear! It won't be the first time I have to do that!-

He stood up and didn't say a thing during our whole way back to my shelter. Once there he helped me pack, only a few things.

-Where are we heading, dark knight?-

-I'm from Alabama.-

-The new world. It's been a long time since I was there-

-Why you came back to Europe, especially being at war?-

-So humans wouldn't be suspicious about me. And I like feeding on the remains of evil doers. They taste better, remember?-

-So you can't kill them...-

-but you could put them out of their misery-

-This whole vampire thing...-

-It's not Hollywood, I'm afraid.-

-Where are we going?-

-To bribe someone in a ship that goes to America-

-Thank you. I can't wait to see my family-

-To say goodbye to your family, do not forget. You can't be around humans anymore. You are not one of them.-

He sighed, and didn't say a word till we got to a hotel near the harbor. I successfully bribed a captain. Those were hard times after all.
