"What?" Caden couldn't believe what he had just heard. How could the handsome, blue eyed man in front of him say that he and that disgusting, rotting corpse were the same being? It just didn't make sense. 

"Listen dude, I know it sounds insane but you don't have to make fun of me! I know what I saw!" The redhead angrily yelled and threw the leftovers of his meal in the direction of the other man. To his surprise the dark-haired man had no issue catching  it even though his eyes hadn't even looked in his direction. 

"My name is Ludwig and not dude. And I'm neither a liar nor a jester." The other man grumbled and slowly turned his head to stare Caden down, his eyes no longer a deep blue, but instead a purplish shade that almost seemed to glow in the shine of the campfire between them. Ludwig tilted his head and a wide grin spread across his face, revealing long, needle-like canines, which oddly reminded Caden of a cat.

"I probably should give your body a little bit more time to replenish its blood but I haven't had such good food in a very long time, so… my deepest apologies in case you die." Ludwig sighed and in the blink of an eye, suddenly stood right beside the redhead, who still was too confused to really react to what was happening.

Only when he was pinned down on the cold cave floor, with the dark-haired man's teeth only inches away from his neck, Caden finally was able to grasp the danger he was in. He screamed at the top of his lungs and struggled against Ludwigs grip. While flailing around like a fish on land in order to get out from under the taller man, Caden's knee suddenly hit him between the legs, making the dark-haired scream out in pain and loosen his hold. 

With tears in his eyes, Ludwig rolled to the side, holding his painfully throbbing crotch. 

"Shit Dude, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to…." Caden apologized out of reflex, only realizing half way through the sentence that this was his opportunity to get the fuck out of there. Without waiting another second he jumped up and dashed towards the exit of the cave. He had almost reached it when suddenly his leg was grabbed and pulled out under him, making him fall face-forward onto the stone. 

Fueled by the pain of his broken nose, Caden kicked the asshole into his face over and over again, while yelling any insult that came to his mind. He never had been much of a fighter but he sure as hell wasn't just going to let the freak do what ever the fuck he was planning to do.

Ludwig held onto him as if his life depended on it, snarling and growling like a wild animal, but the second Caden had inched his way into the sunlight that was seeping into the cave, he suddenly let go, almost as if he was afraid of something. 

When Caden saw the dark-heads behavior it finally clicked. "YOU ARE A VAMPIRE?!" He yelled, the realization making him laugh hysterically. 

This means I got an actual chance! Caden cheered, remembering the hundreds of movies and books he had read about his favorite monster. For once in his life he was not embarrassed that he was actually a huge fan of all types of mythological and folklorish creatures.

"I'm gonna fucking kill you Dracula! You got no goddamn chance against me!" Caden laughed, got back to his feet while making a cross symbol with his fingers, while slowly walking backwards into the bright morning sun. 

"Once the sun goes down you will be mine!" The vampire hissed, and fleshed his long fangs.
