Chapter 5 - Scarlet (Background)

Downtown the city, a father and a daughter were practicing martial arts fighting with swords. They were fighting with wooden swords, skilled and fast like ninjas. The daughter was at the age of 17. Yet she was better than her father as she won over him three times. They lay down on the fighting ring while removing off their masks

 "Well done Scarlet I can't seem to win you now" Scarlet was smiling

 "You had a pretty good student master, or should I say father" 

"Remember Scarlet I only taught you how to fight just to defend yourself not causing trouble okay?" Her father reminded her

"I will keep that in mind father" Scarlet replied They were all laughing.

Suddenly when they were lying down they heard the strange sounds outside, people were screaming growling of monsters. 

"What the hell is going on?" Scarlet asks as her father stood up and took a look outside he saw people were being attacked by vampires and feeding of their bloods.

 "It is happening again" He spoke 

"What is happening again father and what is that sound?" Scarlet asks while standing up she saw that too. Vampires started breaking inside going at them. 

"Go, now Scarlet" 

"I can fight with you father" 

"No, you have to go now, go home go to my secret layout in the basement you will find answers I need you to promise me you will do everything I tell you to do" her father insisted

"I don't know what you mean dad" Vampires reached him he started killing and fighting them, so many were coming.

 "Go, you will see a video run now!" He shouted Scarlet shedding tears while turning and started running on her way home leaving her father being attacked by vampires.

She reaches home as she walks directly down the basement heading to her father's basement. She walks inside as the room lit up. She saw a flash USB on the table. She took it and played on the main screen. She saw her father lying on bed recording it. "Hi, Scarlet by the time you're seeing this video, I may be already dead, and I'm pretty sure the rising has started again, yes this is not the first time, people being chased by hungry people only to feed off their bloods and turn them into one of them. They are called vampires, Centuries Ago there was A Dracula living amongst people, long time before all these technologies existed, the Dracula had a loyal servant name Victor Valois, Victor was bringing him people every evening in his castle for feeding. Every day and every night. He used to make him stronger. Until one day he went empty handed the Dracula was very furious and bite him internally to turn him into a vampire. The first vampire ever lived, Victor started feeding off animals and people, killing by pleasure and turning a lot of people into vampires. At first he turned his 5 loyal servants, all of them bowed and pledged their loyalty to him. Victor planned to attack and kill the only Dracula so he can have all the power and he can rule over by creating his own empire. Dracula saw him coming a long time ago, he had other plans too. He took a lady servant in his house and opened to her about who he really was and how he came to be. He told her that his time of death was almost near, and to be aware of the coming generations of vampires while offering her power. The only power that would wipe down and kill all the vampires. The servant agreed and the Dracula bites her, she was given a potent antivirus to the vampiric. That was a gift she was given by the Dracula, any vampire that bites her and feeds off her blood, they turn back into human again and never turn back into vampire if they got bitten again. But the servant had no abilities of fighting she was all alone. One night Dracula fled to the small town and find a young man back then. A man who had nothing to lose, he took him too and offered him power to fight against the vampires, giving him super speed and extra strength to fight. Dracula brought them together all the two of them. A girl with power and a man with super strength and abilities. He was teaching them on how to fight the vampires. Victor came to find out about that and one night he had to ambush them. Dracula protected his pupils and told them to run away. Victor and his loyal servants managed to kill the Dracula and turn the whole town into vampires. With his loyal servants. Those two Dracula's pupils became vampires hunters started changing people back in secret and create their own army of hunters fighting back. They secretly started taking out Victor's loyal servants all five of them and killed them. Buried them in a church tomb. Victor was very angry and started searching for them. He searched for almost 50 years. Without seeing it coming and they ended up bringing him down. But before Victor died he sworn to be back again, no matter what time it may take he will be back and once he gets back he sworn to turn the whole living thing into vampires. That man and woman decided to kill him by taking his heart out, and piercing him with a piece of wood in his hole so that he can never be back again. They locked the heart into a small box. Living Victor's body buried down in church along his loyal servants. But their bodies never aged a bit. The man and woman managed to restore the town back into people. As the time comes for them to part ways. Starting their lives and live like normal people, as they parted ways and everyone decided to live their lives. A man left with Victor's heart heading somewhere far in the Amazon forest and buried the heart where no one can find it. But each and every day the heart creating seeds so eager to return back to its body. A man left and started his family. They all have been passed down their powers and abilities from their families and families. Living in precautions that one day the rising will come back again. Our family has that ability and super strength to fight off the vampires, that's why I have been so hard on you and teach everything you need to know. Because you are our only daughter, your mother died the moment you were born. Whenever you watch this video I'm pretty sure that you will be ready. Your job is to find your missing piece. I don't know if it would be a man or a woman because it has been a long time since we lost contact with them. All and all in order to put and end to all these disasters is to make sure the two of you fight together. Make sure you find the cured blood and protect the person at all cost, that is our duty passed by our ancestors. I know it's a hard task without any clue, but you will have the feeling once you get in contact with that person, if by chance you find that person and he/she doesn't understand anything please show them this recording video. I have prepared a special gift for you please take good care of it. It is the oldest Chinese samurai's gift. Rare steel, I love you Scarlet" 

The video finished Scarlet was shedding tears. As she stood by an automatic wooden door opened in front of her it was like an armor room. She saw a fantastic black outfit with a black hoodie coat and some boots. She smiles as she saw two long samurai swords made of real steel with a symbol of silver wolf. Then she saw three small special fighting knives. One was a wooden knife sharpened so tight. There was a message on it "for Victor only" Scarlet wore the outfits and geared herself so good. 

Later on that day evening she walks outside her house the town was reeked by bad smell, she started slaying vampires with her swords and fighting them all alone. She was highly skilled as she managed to kill them and head back to their practicing building. She walked back where she left her father he was long gone as she saw his blood and the necklace her father used to wear. She wore the necklace vowing

 "I promise you dad, I will find this person and I will come find you and turn you back again" Later on she walks outside and started her new journey killing vampires while trying to find that person. She walks in a street nearby there were a pack of vampires trying to hunt. She saw a mini market right beside the other side of the building it was dark. She wanted to make it inside to camp for tonight but the vampires were so many on her way. She climbed up the roof on the nearby building waiting. When she lay her eyes at the mini market she saw a man with a backpack and a gun sneaking slowly inside the mini market. She was seeing his every move. The man was shutting the curtains and took the small bells placing them at the door. Scarlet was seeing all of that. 

"Bastard you don't even know how to secure the perimeter before you make camp" Scarlet muttered while sitting on the roof watching over the mini market. 

Later on she saw two vampires heading to the mini market, it was late at night around 2 she looked down and saw four vampires down the main road hunting and looking for people she bent up and landed down the road slowly while drawing her swords killing all those four vampires. She started running heading to the two vampires who were going to the mini market and slay their necks off. She looked by the window and saw a man sleeping on the table. She opened the door slowly as she forgot there were bells setting up. The bells fell down behind her she was shocked. As she saw the man standing up taking out his gun. She used the dark as her hiding spot and started moving slowly trying to round him up. Milan saw trying to find a person who walks inside. Suddenly a sword driven to his neck, while his head pulled back.

"Please don't make any sound. You scream, I slit your throat. You pull that trigger, you alert every nearby vampire. I will still slit your throat and leave you to them. Am I clear?" Scarlet spoke 

Milan nodded, dropping his gun. The woman released him and took off her hood, revealing a beautiful face.

Milan was surprised, eyes wide. "Who...who are you?" he stammered.
