Skyler was still busy writing his name when he said the words 'anger issues?' Could it be the same Danté Rebecca spoke of moments ago? If so what could it mean?
"Do you take any medication for it?""I drink, a lot, if that's considered medication?""How long have you used alcohol to douse the anger?""Almost six years" She wrote it down on her clipboard "Its a long time""I know""Any health issues due to it?""Not yet"She decided to beat around the bush in a sneaky way "Do you have someone in your life? A girl perhaps?""No, not really""Not really?"Danté didn't want to bring her up, but "I met this girl not too long ago, although because of my occupation I can't really give her the attention she deserves""What do you do?""I'm a dept collector"Skyler thought it might not be him then, according to Rebecca the Danté she spoke of was a tutor."I want you to think of her" sheDanté walked to the middle of his RV and opened the door, like a girl storming a toy store Rebecca playfully came running but Villa behind her was obviously suspicious."You two? What a surprise!?" Dante asked, the act of playing stupid became like an art to him."A little far from the old RV park don't you think?" Villa asked folding her arms."Yeah, I could say the same? You two on a road trip or something?""What were you doing at Skyler's place?" Villa asked straight but Danté awaited that question."Skyler Stander?""Yes?""Oh, therapy of course""You're a lecturer, what kind of therapy would you need?"Danté's stomach bubbled at the questions, its a game to him sometimes in situations like this, he knew his mind would bail him out, all he needed was a second to think.He held the canteen of rum up "I have a slight problem remember? No one could help me so far""Skyler told me you broke your finger?"'And they keep coming' he thought "Yes, it
Danté drew the RV into a truck parking lot and grabbed his bag, Vincent made sure to escort him to departures as he was ordered.Turning to him Danté threw the keys "Take care of her okay?""Will do"Vincent stood waiting to be certain Danté climbed onto the plane then left the airport. In the RV he first took a beer out of the fridge and opened it.The place was a mess, Vincent couldn't help be impressed at how well Danté drove this donkey of a vehicle, but as a result of that NASCAR stunt everything here was out of its place.He went through drawers and cupboards, checked the glove compartment and window visors, nothing stood out, just an old grandma's RV by all other means.He then noticed something sticking out underneath the rubble, kicking some away he picked up the small black book and opened it.His eyes went wide, a little side scheme Dante had, it wasn't unheard of for hunters to have things like this, the prob
Villa placed her phone down and looked at Rebecca, her eyes still out on the dessert landscape with a dreamy stare. They drove for three days straight wanting to make sure that hunter lost their trail."You still thinking of him?""Yeah""You know thanks to him you're a target now?""I don't care, why did he help me ma? Doesn't that bother you?"Villa sighed "Slightly""What's going to happen to him though? Since he tried to help me?""A silver test"Rebecca frowned "Silver test?""Its a test all hunters must pass to prove they're not turned, and since you bit him he's going to have to attend it""What does it imply?""They strap you to a chair in the sun for a week, but that's just the half of it, from there on they use all sorts of silver needles and blades to cut and prod, making sure no shift happens whilst you're there""That sounds horrible""You have no idea, during that time you don't eat or drink, surviv
"How to be the best hunter you can be" was the first words Rebecca read in that booklet and she felt hooked to it instantly."Its not about who you are, your gender, where you came from, everyone in the world is unique therefore evey passing hunter or huntress will bare his or her own unique traits, making you dangerous in your own right"Rebecca thought of her strengths, she's a hybrid right? But she barely knew any of it, focusing most of her life to be a human she never learned to be what she really is."Hunting vampires are no small feat, but you don't need strength or speed, they will still be dominant over a hunter in those aspects if you're not a vampire yourself, the only way you can have an advantage over them is the know how, choose your fights, choose the location, make the entire situation pour to your favour and overcome the target, if it can't be so, do not proceed with the hunt"She shifted the page and stretched her legs on the bed, so far this bo
Rebecca's heart sank when the woman opened her arms and embraced Villa."Oh my dear Muriel, how I missed you"Rebecca was now dumbstruck but Villa turned to her smiling "You can relax, this is Hannah, and she's always been a friend to me"Rebecca gave a sigh of relief "Oh my, I nearly made a mess"Hannah smiled "Who might this beautiful lady be?""She's my daughter, Rebecca"Hannah was over the clouds and embraced Rebecca "Oh~ So you became a mother, this is why you left!""Yes"Rebecca shrilled when Hannah took a deep breath into her neck, then stood back with question in her eyes "You? You're a hybrid!"Rebecca frowned "Your figured that out with a sniff? Why didn't they just send you after me?""Oh my dear, I'm a vampire, daylight isn't my field of expertise, so I'm at a time limit disadvantage when it comes to hunting, and besides, I don't really like killing that much" she said shrugging."I think I like you miss Hannah" Rebecca said giggling.
"Since an early age Danté had a mind of his own, he was the youngest to ever set foot here, and I think that Innocent child-like heart of him was his salvation from the cold of being a hunter" Hannah explained as they walked."He wasn't ready for some of the tests served out, but they had to expose him to it in order to mentally prepare him, and that led him wanting to help those who underwent the silver test, my goodness he even tried to rescue a girl from it one night""He did?" Villa asked."Yes, its a shame he failed, that was the girl's last night""Wait they die in that test?" Rebecca asked."Many do, its not only a test to see if you might have been turned my girl, its also a test of your resilience. If ever a hunter gets caught and tortured, that test is to ready them for it, they may not utter a word about the Cross"They arrived at the car and turned to each other."How did it come to this?" Hannah asked "Why did you bring your girl here to see that Ya
Day seven, the Sabbath, finally done with the silver test Danté felt good opening his eyes, he couldn't wait to get some sort of liquid down his throat, that was priority one, fuck the pain.Aiden came in front of him, being in charge if happenings around the Yard Danté found it odd to see him "Where is my torturer?"Aiden was busy undoing the shackles and taking out all the acupuncture needles "I came to personally get you, there is something we must address"When everything was done and extracted Aiden stood back "Stand"Cursed fucking tests, this was another, after the Silver test you may not be helped to your feet, a show of strength and resilience.Danté had his hands down on the armrests and pushed himself to his feet, groaning as he erected his legs. Now standing hunched like an old man that L-shaped sitting position was molded to him, he forced his spine to come straight and grunted managing over that piercing warm pain."Th
Danté remembered now, the meeting today about the wolf pack, that's why all the hunters have gathered.He stood watching Mindy whilst catching his breath, three days into his silver test she was out, but that means she was here for three more, she's in desperate need of medical attention and Danté couldn't help slap at some maggots on her back.She's basically so much a corpse Danté doubted Liam the ghoul would find her appealing, her wounds infected, her body thin, she's on her last legs."Come on Mindy, one more, after this its the medbay and a warm plate of food""Give it up Kane! You know as well as all of us that's where it ends!""Shut your fucking trap Bruce!" He yelled at the largest in the group but couldn't help catch that flare of red in the hair of Xena, so she was also here?The thing about this was no one supported anyone who enters first time, if you can't cut it you're dead weight, sometimes those watching made wager
