Eyes open wide, mouth agape: the ageless telltale signs of shock and disbelief. Looking at the now two bodies on the ground, the hunter looked around quickly to find the other archer. There had to someone else, anyone else, responsible for the arrow, right? Alas, despite looking as hard as her human eyes could, she saw naught but clothes in the breeze and buildings standing tall.

Little did she know that with each passing second, her prey gained an ever-increasing lead on her. Running over to the second dead body, she began to fear she might have been wrong, killing an innocent person instead of a bloodthirsty vampire. Kneeling over her, she found nothing abnormal, save for the arrow embedded in her skull.

Worry began to grow in her heart as she searched the body, not finding any of the distinct characteristics associated with vampires. “Oh, Lord,” she uttered in horror. “I-I’ve killed an innocent person!” Looking around, she began to panic, not wanting the brand of a heartless murderer. She needed to do something, and fast if she wanted to avoid the hangman’s noose.

Several thoughts began swirling about in her brain; the most logical of which being the burial of both, and her sudden disappearance, leaving only a small relic to make the townsfolk think she died. However, more absurd and far-fetched ideas came to mind, not excluding killing anyone who questioned her. No, I won’t murder anymore people, she resolved, looking at the body.

She could not stop some tears from escaping her eyes, saddened by the thought of deceiving or killing innocent people. Kris knew she couldn’t have killed her since the arrow remained in her hand, yet there was no denying she had died.

“Get a hold of yourself,” she said into the dark ally. “You did nothing, so you shouldn’t feel guilty. Instead, I have to try and fine the murderer.”

Standing up, with new resolve pumping in her veins, she turned to the dead body and began talking to it. “I swear, I will find who killed yo…” However, before she could finish her speech, she saw the body begin to fade away into nothingness. Leaving only the first body remaining, the demon hunter looked on blankly, slowly coming to the realization that her prey constructed the scene to allow her escape.

Countless thoughts streamed through her head as to where she could be, or what direction she ran in. However, she abandoned all thought as she forgot herself for one brief instance and shouted into the heavens, “Son of a b****!”

She must’ve ran in the opposite direction. It seems logical enough, Kristina rationalized as she bolted down the ally, doubtless this had to be where ‘Lady Eyes’ ran. “If she’s running, then she must have something to hide!” Resolve burning deep inside her heart, she gave chase, leaping onto the buildings to gain a better vantagepoint.
