Suddenly I felt a cold breeze, and when I looked around I saw a shadow moving swiftly over the ground..
The strange this was, that I didn't saw anything that created the shadow.
I rubbed my eyes out of disbelief and when I looked again, the shadow was gone.
Being the fool that I am, I decided to follow the direction I thought she shadow was going; which also happened to be the path the toenail gang took.
It was a narrow street, with very small houses, almost to small to live a normal life in; they only had one small window which could never give enough light to be able to see anything inside.. But I guess it's still better than having no place to live at all.
Another thing that drew my attention was that all doors were wide open, and I didn't see nor hear anyone inside, but I didn't pay much attention to this at that time.

When the road made a turn, I started hearing some whispering noices, which weren't loud enough for me to be able to understand what they were saying.
I quickened my pace a bit, and when I arrived where I heard the noices, I saw a shadowy figure standing in front of the toenail gang.

When one of the older members saw me he suddenly yelled, "Vapmire!"
At first I thought he was talking about me, I had never heard such an insult in my life.. But it didn't take long for me to understand that he must have been talking about the guy in front of them.
The vampire looked in my direction, probably because he wanted to know who the dude was yelling to.
The gangmember saw this as an ideal chance to escape, and he quickly ran away, into one of the narrow streets which are, as I had experienced by now, almost like a maze.

Once the vampire noticed that, he obviously thought it was my fault, because he suddenly looked really angry and started talking to me.
"this is all your fault! now you will become one of my sons instead of him.."

I saw this as my que to run my legs of; towards safety..
If I would be able to find my way out that is..
While I was running, the only thing I could think was don't look back! don't look back!and it was only when I started hearing laughter that I realised that he hadn't been following me at all.

And when I listened closer, I heard the voice of the paladin.. Was he fighting the vampire?

I rushed back to where to voices came from, it took me quite a while to get there, since there are many dead ends in the maze of streets..

There I saw them, the noble paladin who had been in a fight earlier, accompanied by the healer, a pretty girl.
Since I am no fighter at all, not since my childhood anyway, I decided to stay low, and watch what was about to happen..
