For @Naaviie The tall man strolled down the narrow, winding path. Gravestones past be on either side. He was cloaked in shadows. The very darkness of the graveyard surrounded him. A tall spiked fence awaited him at the end of the path. There was no way round it, only over it. A large oak tree grew from a single grave. It's branches twisted and gnarled. From behind it stepped a smaller, younger man. He held up his hand. The cloaked man stopped. "Do not hinder me feeble human." His voice was as rough as sandpaper but as lyrical as a harp. The smaller man drew a sword that had previously been concealed. It's blade gleamed in the moon light, glistening and sparkling. He raised the tip to the other mans throat. There was a flash and the man was gone. A pointed claw tapped the remaining man on the shoulder. He span around. There, was the night walker. He thrust his hand, claws out stretched into the little mans chest. The man cried out with pain and fear. Then stopped, winked and pulled the other man into an embrace. "Good to see you again, Ali." He smiled but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "A pleasure, no doubt mr Drew." The little man shook his head vigorously. "No not a pleasure." He flicked his sword up and drove it through Ali's chest. Ali fell to the floor. Gasping. Xander knelt down next to him. "No Xander, the life of a vampire is a cursed one, don't do it." He stuttered through his last words slowly. "I'm sorry Ali, I need this." He renched a dagger from his belt, a short jagged dagger. He plunged it into Ali's chest and began to saw. Soon he had made a whole were his heart is. He reached inside, smiling with anticipation. It came out easily, still beating in his hand. He bit into it, warm blood filled his mouth. Taste exploded. Then he fell back dead. The vampire stood up then closed his brown eyes for the last time. When he parted his eyelids his eyes were a piercing blue, Xanders eyes.
A bit of a short one, I'm trying to make the next ones longer. If you didn't get it Xander is now the vampire but in the body of the old one.
