Chapter Two: Black as Night

[Tessa]

“Ladies, Gentleman, we’re dealing with a bona fide vampire.” Tessa sent out the mental message to the rest of the team, she was sure the others could piece it together but she felt the need to inform them anyway, she had figured it out when the man hadn’t shown up on the readout, and with the blood stains on the front of his costume, there wasn’t much else that it could be attributed to.
“By the looks of it, he’s also a messy eater.” There was no humor in her mental voice, and her face was the unreadable mask she took on when analyzing something. Tessa kept her distance, watching him closely from just inside the doorway, the voice had seemed familiar, sparking a thought in the back of her mind; but it hadn’t gone much farther than that.

“Do what?” She inquired in an icy tone, her blue eyes locked on the man, “If it’s not too presumptuous to ask.” Tessa then glanced at the rest of the team, Barry in particular, who seemed enamored with creatures such as this, “Don’t get too close.” She warned the teenager, "and listen for once." Tessa brought her eyes back to the creature in red, looking him up and down. There was something so familiar about him that she couldn't put her finger on, not even with a fair amount of concentration.
