My Lonely Duke

Hunting

Xander POV

“I am going to really strangle you if you are wrong” my best friend and accomplice whispered looking at me.

“Scratch that, even if you are right, I will” he is now using his serious voice. And who could blame him but this is the last chance I have to have a new career in this small town. 

“You do know they could hear whispers too,” I say to my overly anxious friend, keeping my finger over his lips.

“Dude What the f**k!!!” he let out a horrified scream, “ This is not the time for you to turn gay and take advantage” again as I may say overacting. But even my many attempts does nothing to my friend. 

“You are supposed to put your hand over my mouth to silence me not your perverted finger over my lips” he looks at me with mock horror. 

“And that would have been much nice? My hand over your mouth, Like I don’t know that you would lick it and make me take it back anyway” I say back

“Now how are you sure that I wouldn’t suck your finger now” He follows his action with his words. And this time it is my turn to be shocked as I fell on the floor backward trying to get away from him. 

“Damm” I almost whisper scream. 

I pick myself up, cleaning my finger as I do, and get back at my position. 

“That was disgusting Sam, even for you” I bend again with now more distance between him and me. 

“So what you mean is that you don’t like me now?” he questions me. 

“I didn’t say that… I mean…. Wait, what?, when did I say that I like you?” I turn towards him. 

“You didn’t but you always take so good care of me that I assumed,”  he says with a mock blush on his face.

“Okay before my ears start to bleed. TAKE. THAT BACK”.  I say in mock disgust emphasizing each word.

“You don’t mean that Xander, say you don’t mean it” I am smiling to myself, I know what he is doing, he is trying to make me relax, since he knows I am scared, well we both are. 

Being a Vampire Hunter in his first case is Never easy. Yeah a Vampire Hunter, that’s what I chose as a new career since this small town doesn’t offer much than those horror stories of vampire, sucking the blood of anyone or everyone. To the horror of the people and to our pleasure, this job might bring a lot of Money I believe since I have already been paid in advance to capture this one. (Okay it's a cheque but whatever).

This is why we are at present at a Manor which as per the talks of the town folks is being haunted by a vampire. 

They say they hear weird noises coming out of here, mostly of someone screaming. I have to believe on their words here. 

“So what we have to do once we get him,” Sam asks 

“Well we would be delivering him to the town folks I guess,” I say not aware of anything I am saying now.

To my side, my Best friend is laughing hysterically. “ You said it like you are an online Shopping site, Deliver” 

“Damm that witchywhich.com site, I used last night to get some vampire hunting tools online” I respond back 

“You brought these things online huh matey,” he says it like he finds it funny.

“So what do we get if any item is defective? A place in Heaven? Since we won’t be making it back for replacing and return service” he continues.

I know he thinks it's funny but it is scary too,  in case my dear stupid best friend is right.
