him and the young woman. ‘This reminds me I still don’t know your name.’ Jeff tries to change the subject to defuse the tension.
    ‘You don’t need to know my name.’ She replies.
    ‘Come on. I’ve seen you in your bra for Christ sakes I think it’s time I knew your name.’ Jeff laughs which encourages the young woman to join in with the laughter. ‘Don’t worry I’m not going to turn you in for talking to me like this, forget about the system, it’s been a pleasure to meet you and it’s nice to have a friend on the inside.’ Jeff throws out another heartfelt smile. Even in this short amount of time he has spent with this woman he realises he has developed a soft spot for her and genuinely meant what he said about her being a friend. His smile was truly heartfelt. The woman whose heart now feels like it’s on fire is in shock at the thought of anyone thinking of her as a friend. Every time she looks at this man’s smile she can’t help but feel a sense of safeness. She decides to throw caution to the wind and formally introduce herself.
    ‘The name is Rita. Nice to meet you.’
    Jeff’s smile now stretches across his face.
    ‘Well it’s a pleasure to meet you Rita.’ Jeff gently strokes her cheek with his hand. ‘And I promise you. Dirk will pay for what he has done.’
     
     
    CHAPTER 6:
    THE ONE AND ONLY LEOFRIC
     
     
    L eofric steps menacingly towards Will and Katie slowly his hand reaches into his coat. Will slowly pushes Katie backwards, fear quite obvious in Will shown by the way he moves. Will doesn’t want Katie to panic so he stops in his tracks and stands as broad and tall as he can make himself. Leofric begins to chuckle out loud.
    ‘Ha are you serious? I can see a rookie from the moment I lay eyes on one.’ Leofric bellows.
    Will’s fists tighten his heart pounds fast, sweat begins to drop from his brow. He cannot believe this guy not only knows he and Katie are vampires but rookies at that. Will begins to panic.
    ‘I won’t let you harm her.’ Will rushes to Katie and holds her. Both trembling with fear.
    ‘I don’t intend to harm, I intend to kill. Both of you. So no use trying to protect her.’ Leofric takes another step towards the two rookies. Leofric’s arm springs from the inside of his long jacket and as it does he pulls out a hefty gun. Will’s eyes are instantly drawn to it because he had never seen any gun like it in the movies. This is when he spots the laser pointer aimed at Katie’s forehead. As Will’s attention follows the thin laser light back to the gun.
    Bang!
    Spark of light ignites from the barrel of the gun. Time had slowed down to next to nothing in Katie’s mind. In panic she quickly shuts her eyes. Katie’s entire life flashes before her. She instantly thought about how she would never see her mother again, her friends and family. The question of why just keeps replaying in her mind. I shouldn’t be here, why me? This curse put down upon her had now gotten her killed just hours later. As quick as it began it was over.
    Katie suddenly realised she could feel no pain on her body, she was still conscious. Upon opening her eyes she could not believe the sight she was witnessing.
                  In that impossibly short to imagine time frame from Will realising Katie was about to be shot he had become his vampire form, rushed over to Leofric and pushed his raised arm with the gun towards the sky. The bullet now flying out of harm’s way.
    Time had now caught up with Katie. She witnesses Leofric batter Will on the top of his skull as he swings his arm back down to then proceed to give a bone shattering kick to Will’s ribs which send him flying across the park.
    ‘Will!’ She yells in panic.
    Leofric adjusts his attention toward Katie. He squints his eyes as he ponders.
    ‘Katie run!’ Will manages to shout out over coughs and spits of blood.
    Leofric aims his gun once again to Katie.
    ‘Don’t think about running anywhere.’
