The Final Stake is my first vampire story and I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. While the original concept I had in mind ended up becoming a much larger story that I will finish and release later, I ended up writing this short story that starts off in the middle of the hunt and follows the main character as she is hunting something that is set on destroying the ancient ones, including her partner and creator. The quarry in question is a newborn, but one that had become something other than what they are used to.
My character is an unnamed female warrior, one of their best fighters, that is hunting this newborn that is intent on showing humanity the existence of vampires. Her human bodyguard, Zeke, accompanies her and aids in doing the work during the daylight that she cannot. What they find at the end of their search may very well destroy them all.
