The most deliciously cold night swept in to sever the head of the long autumn season, marking the spawn of winter as the sky vomited flakes of ice crystals for a fortnight. A pale figure, with deep, recessed eye sockets and an insidious grin leaped from behind a bush, pouncing on a rabbit. Having caught its prey, the man rended the flesh from its bone as the poor animal screamed violently, globules of blood and meat oozing from its still squirming body. A mouth placed itself below the writhing and bleating animal, and savored the taste of its dripping innards before dipping it into his mouth and crunching down upon the animal, finally ending its miserable existance.
The man now felt rejuvenated, having consumed some blood to make up for what he lost when he was recently shot. The ragged, leather trench coat he wore was pitted with bullet holes in the back, exposing a grey pin-stripe vest underneath. His face was waxy and powdered, and that evil grin, baring his bloodied and sharp teeth, just never went away. He placed his ice-cold hands into the pockets of his coat, and skipped gleefully along a narrow path that was slowly being consumed by the blizzard. Nightfall had long stricken the land and the frosty eyes emblazoned between curtains of matted blond hair shone with a malevolence that outsported Satan.
Trevlac Ehrgeiz hummed as he skipped along the path up the mountain to an interesting landmark - a monastery which was run by a very naughty priest. "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. If you come down here to me, I'll surly eat you with glee. Children gaze as you shine; I just want to make you mine." He carried on with his improvised song until the monastery was within sight. When he was within eyesight of a single spearman standing outside, Trevlac crouched and walked as though he were sneaking. The man holding the spear stared at him curiously, and once Trevlac had just crossed his shoulder, he lowered his polearm and shouted "Cease! What is your business here?", but Trevlac merely placed a hand to his lips while still hunched double, and shushed the guard, grinning widely. Perplexed but unamused, the guard made to cut off the vampire's path with his weapon. Trevlac stopped, still bent double he let out a small giggle and suddenly grabbed the spear and broke the end off. Before the guard could react, there was already a spearhead lodged in his throat. He secreted blood like a geyser; Trevlac could smell its divine scent, and ran his long spidery fingers across the guard's neck as his life was slowly but painfully extinguished. Feeling his work there done, he straightened up and looked rather seriously.
"You know," he started, hitching his coat straight and smoothing out the wrinkles in his vest, "I don't think monasteries need armed guards, do you?" he said to the dead body. Then giving him a polite bow, Trevlac marched onward through the gates and up the front stone steps, every clod of his large boots pounded with the weight of an iron ball. And then gently, he knocked.
