Would you by any chance ever consider writing a second part to prompt 60? 👉👈

I would actually love to. This is one of my favorite prompts I've made.

1,465, 1,466, 1,467, 1,468–

A mittened hand suddenly caught the vampire’s cold one yanking them free from the trap they had unwittingly stepped into.

“[Hunter]?” the vampire croaked, spilling half their handful of poppy seeds back into the snow.

“Shhhh.” [Hunter] blew on their iced finger tips, even though they both knew that the warmth could only go so far. “I’ve got you now.”

The vampire’s lip trembled, fang points catching against their own chapped skin. For a moment, they could only stare at their peculiar, unexpected savior, then they shoved their face into their living, breathing chest and broke down into violent sobs.

[Hunter] rubbed their back, slow and gentle, like they had all the time in the world and not, in fact, a measly hour before the vampire met a smoky, moldering demise. “It’s alright. I’m going to take you away now.” They worked the rest of the seeds from the vampire’s hand and clasped it tight. “Let’s get you inside.”

***

Vampire huddled under the pile of furs and tried to pretend they belonged to regular animals. Not, in fact, the other worldly creatures that Hunter made a living off disposing of. Creatures like them.

A light rap sounded on the open door, and Hunter stepped across the threshold. Such an easy task for them. Almost enviable. If the human hadn't asked Vampire inside when they did, they would be nothing but ash on the snow.

"I brought you some hot chocolate," Hunter said, holding out a large metal mug. They hesitated just short of Vampire's fingers. "Can you drink hot chocolate?"

"Liquids are easier," Vampire replied, cupping the warm metal between their hands. They omitted that while liquids were easier, outside of one obvious and particular exception, they still were not wholly digestible. Vampire was about to get a behemoth of a stomach ache. But they hadn't tasted chocolate since their living days. And the thought of its warmth in the chilled, panicked hollow of their stomach soothed them.

Vampire tilted the steaming sweetness toward their lips but then froze, raising their eyes to Hunter's watching face. "Isn't this stuff expensive?"

The hunter shrugged. "It's a regular part of the hunter's ration. I get them every time I visit a hunting center in a new city. And I figured...after today... Well. it always makes me feel better."

Vampire nodded and let the rich, creamy warmth trickle down their throat. Their entire body warmed, and the tension they held in their muscles ebbed. For an instant, it was like being human again.

It occurred to them as they took their second swallow that this could be a trap. Hunter may have spiked the hot chocolate with any number of deadly or incapacitating things. They knew Vampire's weaknesses after all. Though, none of that would have made much sense. Hunter already had them in their lodgings. And with the sun in the sky, they were essentially trapped already. And if Hunter had wanted them dead, they could have simply left them in their counting loop, killing them without lifting a finger themself. Vampire had been so relieved at being saved that they hadn't considered how utterly confusing and out of character this all was.

Vampire lowered the mug into their lap.

"Why are you doing this?"

Hunter pressed their lips into a thin line and sat in the chair across from Vampire. "Creatures like you are not my expertise."

Vampire blinked. "Creatures...like me?"

"Lucid. Controlled. Harmless." Hunter listed each adjective on their fingers, hesitating on harmless. They both knew that Vampire was not. It was only something as flimsy as a choice that kept Vampire from pinning Hunter against the hearth and draining them into a pale, dry husk.

As if sensing this new train of thought, Hunter shuddered. A prickle of fear still lived deep inside the hunter's primal instincts. A built-in warning not to turn their back, to stay away, to kill or be killed.

"I kill threats to human life," Hunter said. "Since I entered town, there have been no deaths outside of livestock. Nor have there been for the last 20 years. You are a nuisance, not a danger."

Vampire eyed the hunter carefully, unsure whether it was distrust or the hot chocolate making knots in their gut. "Do you often question your assignments before killing them?

Hunter grimaced slightly. "No."

"I'm an exception."

"You are a quandary." Hunter avoided meeting Vampire's gaze now, though they were definitely still watching out of their peripheral. "It didn't add up. The lack of killings, the stalking without attacks, and... That day in the woods. I knew you as soon as I saw you, and you knew me. You can usually feel the malice on a creature when you confront it. One of those things that a hunter gets attuned to. But...I felt no ill intent on you. I've never met a vampire that wasn't motivated by bloodlust."

"Well," Vampire said, setting the empty mug on a side table. "Here I am. What are you going to do with me?"

Hunter tilted their head birdishly, like a thrush listening for predators.

"I get the impression you're not going to just let me go."

"No," Hunter affirmed quietly. Their throat bobbed as they swallowed. "In fact, I have something to confess."

It was Vampire’s turn to cock their head, though they felt more like a fox listening for the heartbeats of prey.

"The poppy seed trap. It was mine."

Vampire shouldn't have been shocked. There were no other hunters in town at the moment. And though many villagers scattered rice on their thresholds, few dared to set such a snare in the middle of the woods. Still, they'd been so relieved at Hunter's arrival. So ready to throw themselves on any sort of savior. A wave of nausea washed over them, mixing with the already uncomfortable ache of indigestion.

They dropped their head into their hands and moaned.

"I needed to catch you,” Hunter explained. “If they find out you're still hanging around, they'll hire someone else, someone who won't ask questions.”

Why were they trying so hard for forgiveness? And why did they even tell them in the first place? They could have never mentioned it, and Vampire would have been none the wiser.

“I need you to trust me,” Hunter said.

Vampire jolted at the almost answer to their internal questions and peered up from between their fingers. “Why? What do you expect me to do? I live here! Have lived here, for decades!”

Hunter flinched back in their seat at the sudden venom. But to their credit, they quickly recovered, rising to their feet and striding within arms length of Vampire.

"Come with me.”

Vampire stared. “What?”

“We'll find you a colony. Or a mountain. Or anywhere else you can live without a kill order overhead."

“You mean away from people.”

Hunter’s wince was answer enough.

Rage boiled in Vampire’s blood, and they burst to their feet sharp enough to make the furs tucked around them scatter and Hunter take a step back. “I haven’t done anything wrong! I’m not the one going around killing people for just existing!”

Hunter recovered their lost step and, with some effort, held Vampire’s smoldering gaze. “Still.”

Vampire wanted to rage further. To break the furniture, shred the furs, pulverize the stone hearth to rubble.

Instead they wiped the bitter tears gathering in their eyes on the back of their hand and nodded.

“Ok.”

Vampire and Hunter part 1

[cw: stalking, kidnapping]

Zoe was walking down a quiet when out of the corner of her eye she spots a strange lady following her at a distance, she knew this was vampire territory and so steeled her self for a hunt, she had been trained for this exact scenario and slowly walked around a nearby corner to wait for the vampire to jump her...

But it never did, she waited for a good few minutes and to her surprise the vampire didn’t round the corner after her. But her mistake came when she looked around the corner expecting to see nothing but came face to face with a tall imposing figure; the vampire stood at 6’4” towering over the 5’4” tall Zoe, her brown hair shone in the moonlight with burgundy undertones, her crimson eyes looked at Zoe with a piercing gaze that seemed to freeze the poor girl in place. The vampire wore jeans a band shirt and a zip up hoodie making her look disheveled compared to Zoe who was wearing white blouse tucked into a long black skirt with tights underneath, she was returning home from her office job after all.

The vampire seemed to know what Zoe had planned and anticipated her move, Zoe knowing she couldn’t out run a vampire decided to go on the offensive, but as she threw her first punch she felt her hand stop as the vampire caught her wrist, ‘tch tch tch’ she tutted raising Zoe’s wrist with her hand, ‘what have we here? a little hunter that thinks she has us figured out? Your little trick might have fooled my spawn but not me’ the vampire spoke in low measured voice. Zoe tried to struggle her hand free once the vampire tightened her grip and a wave of pain ran up Zoe’s arm from the site of the grip. ��Come little hunter I think you enjoy a night in my care’ the vampire said before in a flash restraining Zoe using duct tape on her mouth and her wrists and ankles so that she couldn’t squirm as they disappeared into the night.
