Hellbound 2

The Beginning

If you were to ask me why I got into this line of work I guess you could say it is what I was meant to do.  I mean I was never suited for the 9 to 5, suit and tie kind of thing.  Hell, growing up I could barely hold onto my job at that crappy little burger joint in town.  For the life of me I just always thought I was supposed to be someone else.  I never felt like I fit in at school, sure I tied to play their games, shit I even started on their precious football team, but I never felt comfortable doing that kind of thing.  I was better at being the kind of kid who cut class more often than not and I barely managed to graduate when my time came.

It took me another ten years before I figured things out for myself.  The funny thing is that it didn’t even bother me all that much.  I can still remember how I thought to myself that it was about damn time something like this happened.  I recall all too well how that…thing… had lurched out of the shadows toward me.  I can still smell its blood-and-rot breath and feel its shit caked claws bite into my shoulder.  To be honest it was through nothing more than blind luck that I managed to kill it.  I used that broken two-by-four like I was born to it and must have hammered away at its body for twenty minutes before I stopped.

Why am I telling you all of this?  Well I guess it is so you can make a choice.  Y’see I never had one, like I said it was something I was born to do, but you have the chance to avoid all of this.  You could take the high-road and try to avoid this life, try to remain an upstanding member of society and all that crap.  But the thing is I can tell you won’t.  How do I know that?  It’s your eyes.  You have the same look that I had that day, the look that says you finally understand what’s going on around you. 

Sure sure, you know something now, but believe you me, you have got a lot more to learn before you can start hunting.  Just wait and see, maybe you’re meant for this kind of thing, maybe you will be one of the great ones.  But just remember one thing, if they turn you, if you let them change you into something like them I will be waiting…
