My name is Travis. I hunt vampires.
I know what you're thinking; I'm nuts, bonkers maybe even freakin' insane. In your world, vampires only exist in cheesy Bela Lugosi movies, Stephen King novels and Wesley Snipes flicks.
Maybe I'm insane; maybe I'm not. Doesn't matter, because they exist; of that, I'm sure.
They don't sleep in musty coffins, nor does the sun send them up in a 'poof' of ash. They don't turn into bats, mist, or even hellhounds, and I've staked a bunch through the heart, sure - but only because my nine-millimeter was either empty or my swords weren't handy.
A cross doesn't work - though they avoid consecrated ground; why, I'm not exactly sure, they just do. Garlic has no effect either; those Italian vamps I busted back in Reno reeked of it.
The only vamp I ever splashed holy water on laughed in my face and then tried rip my throat out. Good thing I was able to get my shotgun up to blow his face off before he had mine for dinner.
Bullets work well, especially in the brain or heart. Of course, snapping their spines or necks in hand-to-hand is just as effective, but anywhere else, and they keep coming right for you, even crawl on all fours and bite your freakin' ankles.
Something inhuman and unearthly flows through their veins. Through my studies, I know that while they can subsist on all sorts of foods...sooner or later, they turn to craving human blood. That's enough to label them vampires in my book, because there's no way any sane human could possibly visit this kind of brutality upon another, no matter how deranged or sick they were.
Whatever makes them the way they are - science, bizarre mutation, military experiment "gone horrible awry" - as the old, pulp fiction movies liked to call it - I know one thing for sure, and that's this: they're evil, pure and simple. They may've been average folk before they got infected, but after that, it's rape, kill, feed, and propagate like the locusts.
