      He awoke at seven o’clock in the evening. He never could be awake during daylight hours because the Sun would burn him terribly.

      That was the worst part about being on Earth.

      The vampire came from Hell through a portal. In Hell, there was a different Sun and he could be awake during daylight hours. Unaccustomed to living nocturnally, he missed daytime. He would simply go back, but he had a mission, assigned to him by his clan’s leader. He was to find an angel and transform him or her into a vampire.

      This was not an easy task; by far, it was the most difficult one he was ever given. Being in the presence of an angel weakened a vampire, so it was not easy to bite an angel. Aside from this, he didn’t know where to find an angel. At first, he searched near churches, certain he’d find one. He never could go inside a church, however, because holy ground was nearly unbearable for him to walk on. It weakened vampires to a great degree, but they still did have enough strength to enter a church to repent in the event they wished to. In this event, what typically happened was that an angel or saint would appear to the vampire out of the eyesight of anyone else in the church and take the vampire to a church in Heaven to begin the process of curing the vampire.

      Even in the proximity of a church, the cross was nearly unbearable to a vampire. The vampire wondered if he’d even have been successful had there been an angel outside any of the churches, because the cross weakened him so much. Then the angel would have weakened him more. He didn’t think that he would have had the strength to complete the task and bite the vampire.

      In the back of his mind, he knew this task was impossible to complete, especially for someone who now regularly failed tasks. He used to complete tasks with ease, and climbed the ranks in his clan quickly, but then he started slacking off and he started failing task after task. This task was given to him as a chance to prove himself, to show that he really wasn’t a failure. It would restore him to his former glory.

      This promise drove him to continue on with this impossible task. His next thought was to go somewhere where angels would be called upon to help or protect people. After some deliberation, the vampire decided to try hospitals.

      It was nearly dawn by the time he got to a hospital, so he needed to find a place to sleep. Having to sleep out of direct sunlight, the vampire searched for a good place and found a well in the garden that was on the hospital grounds. Luckily for him, it didn’t have water in it so he climbed down the well’s ladder. The ground was completely dry, indicating that the well hadn’t been used in some time. He laid down along the side wall and went to sleep.

      He awoke in the evening, just after sunset, and felt around the walls for the ladder. Looking up, he noticed that there was a soft glow on the walls higher up, closer to the well’s opening. He figured the glow was from the moon.

      From this light, he was able to find the ladder above, and thus found the bottom rungs. He climbed up....

      To his surprise, he saw what he last expected as he climbed the ladder. The glow wasn’t from the moon at all – it was from an angel who was standing beside the well, looking down at him. The angel, who was male, watched his every move as he climbed up. Already he felt weakened by the angel’s presence, but he thought he’d be able to bite him as he got closer. However, the angel stepped back from the well when the vampire got within reach of him, and the vampire’s hopes drastically fell.

      How your kind always dares to mock the righteous! The angel said angrily. The angel had reddish-brown hair, a narrow face, blue eyes, was thin and appeared to be in his fifties but he was actually hundreds of years old.

      What? By sleeping in a well? The vampire asked. He had blond hair, a rounder face, brown eyes, athletic build, and was in his thirties, which was his actual age.

      You’re outside of a hospital. Clearly you were planning on going inside tonight, when you could walk around, and get some blood from a storage room. Blood that patients need. You are no patient. The angel said.

      That is not what–

      I will not hear it! Your kind is no good. You will go back to Hell, but first, I actually have use for you. You must serve me for now. And then you’ll go back where you belong! The angel said strictly. He then dragged the vampire with him to a nearby church. It was not the same one the vampire had loitered outside the night before.

      Ah, the cross! I can’t take it! And I can’t go in there! The vampire said as they got closer to the church.

      I don’t care how weak it makes you, you shouldn’t be the vampiric monster that you are anyway!

      The vampire became very unhappy. He knew before this happened that it was likely he would fail this impossible task, but now he was sure of it. By taking him into a church, this angel was going to make sure he was in a weakened state, so he’d never have a chance to bite him.

      They walked into the church, which was closed to the public. A sign outside of it said it was under renovation, but it didn’t look to be on the outside or on the inside. It had been a long time since the vampire had been in one and remembered all too well why that was. He felt like he could barely stand up. Not that it mattered;
