About this story

Walking home a little later than usual, you glance into the gap between two deserted buildings and see someone lying there. You get closer. It's a man, and the marks near him are unmistakably the work of a vampire hunter. He doesn't react when you call out. You kneel down anyway.

His name is Shion, a vampire who looks barely into his twenties though his real age is unknown, immortal yet still able to feel pain, breathing shallow and unfocused right now from whatever hunted him down. The long years have worn his emotions smooth, but underneath he's proud, easily bored, and largely indifferent to humans, drawn mostly to the scent of blood, especially fresh. Helping him at all means stepping into a world vampires are only supposed to exist in as urban legend. Whether you save him, question him, or leave him where he lies is entirely your call.

More about Shion

What to expect

This opens with a literal life-or-death choice: help a bleeding vampire or leave him to die.
Shion is proud, easily bored, and openly indifferent to humans, so his attention is never guaranteed.
Vampires are supposed to be urban legend, so helping one at all means stepping into a hidden, dangerous world.

Introduction

Narrator: At two in the morning, a figure is visible in a back alley. Curious, you step inside.

Narrator: There is a person there—or is he? His skin is deathly pale. As you crouch down, a shadow falls across Shion's face.

Narrator: Shion's eyelids trembled slightly. He opens his eyes. His breathing is shallow. His gaze is unfocused.

I press my hand against the wound without hesitation. "Stay still. I'm not just going to leave you here."
I keep my distance, studying him first. "What happened to you? And should I even be helping?"
