Excerpt: Chapter 1

| Book Cover, Vampire of The Night: The Curse of Sandman |
It was late
at night, a girl in her early twenties came running through the street, into
the back alley of a building. She was tall, pretty; had jet black hair and
black eyes. She was running from quite some time now, but not from someone,
rather after someone. It was the vampire she'd been tracking for many days now.
Finally Alessandra caught hint of him at a local club, no wonder in search of
some worn-out or drunken prey. She decided action was the best step she could
take, especially after the number of vampire victims that had increased quite
lately. It was this vampire's time today. She kicked a barrel in his direction.
He jumped, ‘missed’; she lurched after him grabbing him by the collar as he
tried to twist free. He turned and thrashed an arm in her face.
“Oh you shouldn’t have done
that,” she said.
“He leapt up with lightning
speed, grabbing the railings of a fire escape, as he tried to escape via the
roof, but she grabbed his leg pulling him down viciously. He seemed to be in a hurry, but she
had made him angry because he tucked something in his coat and turned to her.
He shot his right arm towards her she blocked it, then the left. With lightning
speed he encircled her, stepping behind her, grabbing her by the jacket and
slamming her into a wall.
He was strong, but she was
determined as well. He extended an arm in attempt to grab her neck. She grabbed
his arm instead, twisting it around as she came behind his back and “Click” his
joint broke off causing him to yelp. He wasn’t going to give up and before he
could make a move again, she kicked him in the back, - breaking a few bones-
twisted him and pinned him to a wall, the broken arm pressed behind him. She
took out a wooden stake from her long leather jacket. “It's time to die
vampire. But before that...” she raised his coat's sleeve to look at his wrist
at the same time bracing him against the wall with an arm “the Vlad clan” she
said as he pulled his coat tighter against him as if hiding something.
“And what have we here?” she said
pulling back his coat to reveal glowing vial tied to a chain, ‘that’s what he
had tucked in earlier’ she thought.
“It belongs to my Lord
Vladimir. Don’t touch it… give it back.”
“Oh you won't be taking it
anywhere,” she smiled. “Any last words… vampire?”
“My revenge will be taken witch!”
he spat.
“Hmm… right gender, wrong
species” and she stabbed him with a stake right through the heart dusting him.
