Still of the Night

8: Sickness

 IT was having a great time, trampling through Mexico, killing more undead creatures, then up-wards through Arizona where they were much harder to find. Nevada was not much better so IT turned to California and had so much success there IT considered never leaving.

 Until the master spoke to him again. “That’s enough.” IT looked up and growled, having just finished off two IT was craving more. “I need the girl. You must not lose her.” IT rolled IT’s eyes and grunted, sprinting off to show master how fast it could go. “I’m well aware of your talents-I created you. But now you must get the girl.” Why? IT wondered. “Do not question me. Just do as I say. Get the girl. Before it is too late.”

 IT wanted to inquire what master meant by it being too late but decided IT did not want to chance getting reprimanded again so IT went on. While IT continued, IT again wondered what was so special about this one vampire? Why her? IT couldn’t comprehend it-then again maybe that’s the way master wanted it.

 IT hoped that IT never ran out of vampires to kill for IT doubted that master kept IT for any other reason. Well, that and to bring the one vampire to him. IT sighed and continued on, coming in close on the state line to Oregon-IT did not expect to find many here as IT had already come and done IT’s damage.

 IT caught a whiff of the vampire IT was searching for no sooner had IT crossed from Oregon into Washington State. IT smiled, the lips curving to reveal all the front teeth, each one three inches in length. Soon, IT would find her then IT would bring her to master and master would be most pleased.
