*Jack’s POV*

The next morning I was expecting to see a naked woman -more like goddess- on my bed, but instead found a small note with the neatest and most beautiful handwriting.

Dear Jack,
Just to thank you for last night, it was amazing although now I’ll have to take care of your bite marks, you horny vampire.
Anyways, don’t look for me (I’m serious, don’t).
Bye,
Jasey.

‘Your bite marks’
‘Horny vampire’
'Vampire’
Oh, shit. I was screwed. She knew! And I didn’t have time to compel her either! Fuck, fuck, fuck! She’d tell everyone now!
Why did I bit her in the first place? She just smelled so damn good, I couldn’t help myself. And she didn’t taste bad either, in fact, she was delicious. Almost as if she wasn’t human.
I stared at the piece of paper for a while, when my eyes noticed something else.
‘Don’t look for me’
Why shouldn’t I?
Wait, why should I? She was a nightstand, right? But she looked so mysterious… That scent… That taste… Those eyes…
Those legs…
Jack, don’t.
I was so full of questions it was stressing me out, so I just decided to shower and relax. But I couldn’t stop thinking about the raven haired girl.
When our eyes met at the bar, I felt… strange. She looked suspiciously gorgeous and I think I just melted in her blue sparkling eyes. I felt my heart flutter and my breath changed when she stared into my eyes. I only felt this way once before, but it couldn’t be possible because love at first sight was just a thing that, for me, did not exist anymore.
After cleaning myself I went to my room and got dressed. Then I went down to the kitchen and grabbed a blood bag from the fridge.
That’s when my phone rang I used my vampire speed to go back to my room and pick it up. It was Alex.
“Hey, man” I greeted.
“Hey, Jack-o. You need to come here to the forest, Copper wants us to investigate some attack” he briefly explained.
Copper was the head of the police in Baltimore. Only police knew our real nature, but instead of being all ‘let’s rip their hearts out’ they used us to help in homicides and such as long as we didn't cause the attacks.
“Alright, I’ll be there in a few” with that I hung up and put on my Nikes before I got out of my house, closed the door (because I occasionally forgot to close it) and used my vampire speed in search of Alex’s scent. Once I got his scent, I followed it, leading me to a small, open campsite in the middle of the forest.
There were some headless girls’ bodies around the fire, but in the air, something else other than human scent floated. I couldn’t quite describe it… it almost smelt like a porcelain, old doll. Those you may have seen in your grandmother’s cupboards which looked extremely creepy.
Moving forward, you could smell a soft metallic odor and a mix between a burnt and bloody trail, but it was very faint. Nearby, there were marks of a chainsaw on some trees, and several cut-in-half -vertically, from head to toes- bodies.
I walked forward and saw several heartless bodies around a specific area. I didn’t examine them closely enough when I caught a new-old scent.
Was it possible?
That smell of irresistible delicious blood with a soft touch of a light perfume, and a general smell of vanilla.
Was it her?
My eye caught the sight of a new trail of victims. All of them male.
The first one had several cuts all around his body, in particular a private area. The second one had some cuts and stab marks, his mouth wide open like he was moaning or something. And the third one… it was obvious from the start: he died with a boner. I chuckled, ignoring the serious situation for a few seconds. Who the fuck made this guy, in a pure state of horror, be turned on?
I stared at the poor guy for a few seconds and took notice of the familiar sign cut in his body and took in all the different scents in the air.
When I opened my eyes again, from the distance, I saw some papers thrown on the ground nearby. I didn’t even have to look at what they had on them when I jumped to several conclusions:

• It wasn’t one killer.
• They weren’t human.
• They didn’t work alone.
• They weren’t savage; they were coordinated and careful (sort of).
• They were terrible at cleaning up.

I walked back to Alex and the police officer and commented on my observations.
We all agreed this had something to do with that Slenderman urban legend.
All humans thought Slenderman was a legend, a joke. But the police and us, 'mystic' creatures, knew for sure they were real. In the past three decades, there was a rumor of him saying he actually found love with that Mama serial killer and had kids. I didn't believe it. I mean, how can a monster like him find love and have kids? And if he did have children, I could only think of how miserable they probably were.


*That evening*

In the past few hours, several police stations from different places in Maryland had called to speak to Copper, all of them speaking about a supernatural attack, similar to our own that morning. They’ve been calling all afternoon and advised him to watch out. So Copper decided to call Rian and Zack and sent us to take care of the citizens, going to each house and making sure everyone was in their respective homes.
In our little group, according to our birth dates, Alex was the oldest, followed by Rian, then Zack and finally me. We were born between 1643 and 1644 -in the same generation, basically. Around 1669, we were all turned vampires, as there was this crazy ass vampire -who got killed- who wanted to create an army or something like that, but obviously ended up failing, and we ended up with Alex and Rian being forever 26 and Zack and I forever 25. But they didn’t quite turn us at the same time; first they turned Rian, then Zack, then me and Alex. Rian was currently the wisest one in the group, Zack the strongest -because of his extra working out-, I just ended up being me and Alex the ‘younger’ one. Karma’s a bitch, right Alex?
We checked on each and every single one of the houses and apartments in Baltimore, and although there were some empty houses -whose owners were at some bar- five particular ones caught our attention; In the five of them, the women -who we supposed to be the teenagers' mothers- who opened the door to us, said their son/daughter had gone to a camping trip with other friends to the forest.
"They're dead already" Alex pointed out as we ran, following their scents from their houses.
"Wow, you're so positive" I said, sarcastically.
"I'm realistic, dumbass" he rolled his eyes.
I muttered a "Whatever" and we stopped dead on our tracks, the same scent we got that morning in the forest filling our noses.
"Oh, they're so dead" I agreed with Alex.
"Come on, let's see if we find any signs of life" Rian pushed us.
"Be careful, those things aren't human" I warned.
I ran off with Rian and we slowed down when I caught her scent again. Two conclusions flashed in my head: she was attacked or she was the attacker.
The second one was the least likely option, seeing how weak and thin she was, so I sticked to the first one. A sudden mix of rage and worry filling inside of me, afraid of her hurting and angry at the though of someone actually hurting her. Why was I feeling like this? It's not like I cared about her. I think I was more intrigued by her; she was like a puzzle, a jigsaw and I wanted to know everything about her.
"I don't like that smell" Rian commented, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Which one?" I asked, still running.
"The vanilla mix one, it's creepy" he replied.
I stayed quiet. Oops, well then guess who slept with the carrier of that smell Rian? How could he not like that scent? I didn't understand; she smelled delicious!
"Earth to Jack?" I heard Rian say.
"Oh, sorry"
"What were you thinking about?" he nudged my shoulder.
"Nothing" I shrugged.
"Oh, come on!" he stopped running, pulling my arm to do the same. "Tell me, I won't judge" he reassured me.
"Well..." I scratched the back of my neck, "I think I've slept with the carrier of that 'horrible' scent" I gestured the air quotes.
He stood quiet for a minute.
"You, what?" he raised his eyebrows.
"I-" he cut me off.
"Shit. Dude, that’s creepy" he said.
"Wow, and you said you wouldn't judge" I looked away, chuckling to myself.
"It's different, she isn't human. Humans smell good" he concluded.
I scoffed. Says who is dating a human. His own fucking food! I internally rolled my eyes, thinking about his relationship with this human called Cassadee. Don’t get me wrong, she was amazing and I thought they were adorable together, but it annoyed me that he thought me sleeping with another mythic creature was more strange than him having a relationship with his main source of food.
"She does smell good" I retorted.
"Not to me or the other guys" he raised his hands in defeat.
I was about to reply when we heard a male scream in the distance and the air filled with the smell of human blood.
We followed the scent and heard some screams in the distance, so we ran faster but stopped dead on my tracks when we got to the scene.
A black haired and very pale girl was pushing a 17 year old guy against a tree, shoving a knife deep in his gut, a knife already in his neck, just brushing the coronary artery but not cutting it, leaving the guy alive, and finally slit his throat.
She took a step back and pulled out the knifes, the guy's body dropping to the floor.
We hid behind some tall bushes, ready to attack, when she turned slightly on her shoes. Something about her shoes seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
However, I discovered who it was when she turned around so I was able to see her face.
I froze.
What was her name again? Jane? Jasey? Yeah, Jasey!
I stared at her wide eyes until we heard something similar to a little girl's cry running astonishingly fast to her and little blonde girl with deep blue eyes appeared.
"Jasey, there's a vampire after me!" she cried.
Wait, they were together?
Zack appeared and -with a swift motion- knocked Jasey down.
Then something changed in her. She closed her eyes for a split second but when she opened them they weren't that icy blue color anymore, they were pitch black, and pulled out a knife from under her dress.
She aimed it at Zack's collarbone, just above his heart and pulled another one out. I came out of the bushes and grabbed her from behind, making her drop the knife. I didn't expect her to fight back but I was proven wrong when she pulled her leg up and kicked my balls with a swift back kick. Fucking bitch!
I let go of her and saw her grab the knife again and about to aim the other knife at me, her eyes now showing she was twice as furious, when someone oddly familiar grabbed her arms and pulled her next to his body.
I only recognized that pale, black haired guy from last night, a wide chelsea grin carved in his cheeks, holding her. She was growling at me, when said guy turned her around.
"Jasey, react" she only stiffened under his touch.
He sighed and slapped her across her face.
Everyone sucked in a breath as Zack and I recomposed ourselves and Rian and Alex appeared slowly.
When she opened her eyes again they were that icy blue color again and full of anger.
"Fucking asshole" she slapped him back with more force, causing some scabs to fall off and some blood started to fall from his cuts.
I saw Zack take a step back as she turned around slowly -with a smirk- in my direction.
"Well, well" she moved her head side to side with each word, my bites from last night being exposed.
"If it isn't Jack Barakat, the guy from last night" she chuckled at the end.
