Sewers were an unpleasant refuge even for a vampire. Back in the day, she had avoided the sun in palaces and temples. Her loyal legions standing guard against enemies, bringing her offerings of fresh blood. That was until the head hunters came looking. Fearless vampire hunters intent on stopping her bloody reign over Asia. It seemed her reputation was getting around. Just before the Boxer Rebellion in China, they had all but destroyed her army. Her cunning had kept her one step ahead, but it seemed as though she would have to admit defeat, the odds were too great against her. Fleeing into Europe, she hid, biding her time, staying low. Rumours spread that she had been killed, not unpleasant news to her, as it meant she could sneak around more easily without having to watch her back. Though she remained bitter by the defeat. It was rare that she lost a battle. Even as a General in the Chinese Army, her only defeat led to her becoming a vampire.
Now, skulking in the sewer darkness, she longed for the old days. When the sun went down, she would begin her search for a new legion. A chance to reclaim her power. Through the generations, the head hunters had become forgotten, there would be no-one to challenge her, except perhaps Danny Kwon.
It was strange, in all the encounters she had had with him, some more violent than others, she had never been able to bring herself to kill him. She used to think it was simply because she liked to toy with her victims, but that soon gave way to something else. She'd never admitted it, but something about the man made her feel alive again. She sensed he felt it too, he had come close to staking her several times, but then he always just missed the target, or he simply walked away. Odd for someone with so much hate towards her kind.
She grinned, thinking about what he said earlier. He wasn't going to leave her alone any time soon. Perhaps here, in L.A., they would finally have their showdown.
