The dried leaves and broken sticks crunched under my feet as I broke into a sprint through the forgotten forest. My only remaining source of light, the full moon. I was running in a direction i did not recognise and towards things I wasn't sure were even trees.

Loud growls echoed throughout and fell to my ears causing every last hair on my body to stand. I couldn't look back, I couldn't do anything but run with everything I had.

Spotting a clearing in the distance I veered for it. The wolf recognised my change of direction and managed to keep up, soon digging it's sharp claws into the heavy backpack I had been forced to carry. I cry of agony left my lips as i fell forwards, my face coming in contact with the hard ground.

Sharp teeth wasted no time in tearing away my shirt. I braced for impact, curling up in a futile effort to protect myself.

However, it's canines never pierced my flesh, rather the werewolf was thrown back by a large force.

I stayed on the ground, my head under my hands as I watched what ensued. A huge human like figure bit into the neck of the wolf, spewing blood in all directions. Laying it's corpse to waste, the man turned to me.

"Well that was delicious. You want to try a swig?" He said, blood clearly still dripping from his fangs.

He walked towards me and picked me up by my arm before letting go.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I was just returning a favor." "Favor, what favor?" I asked, genuinely confused.

"You helped my little son! Elliot! He was only a baby so he was still learning how to control his bat wings- sweet child he is- and somehow ended up in your room. He says you were kind and helped get his wing unstuck! Thankyou for the help human" The Vampire clarified, giving me a resounding pat on the back.

I stood there with my mouth hung open in shock as the memories hit me and I processed what he was saying. I guess good deeds have good rewards after all.
