Vampire Hunting A monster slayer and his apprentice are in the woods outside a small village in Transylvania one dark night, high up in a tree. "After months of tracking and preparation, tonight is the night you kill your first vampire, my apprentice. I have given you the wooden stake crossbow for just this occasion. Do not forget your training," The monster slayer said. "I won't, but I don't understand why we've climbed all the way up here," said the nervous apprentice as the wind whipped their clothes back and forth with the branches. "You see, every night when this vampire comes to feed he stops at this very tree so he can get a good view of the village square and his next victim. We are here to intercept him and, hopefully, save a life while taking his." Just then they heard the flutter of leathery bat wings as the grotesque creature landed on a thick branch of the tree and transformed into the hideous vampire, crushing a bird's nest in the process. "Now my student! Fire true and rid this village of its terrible curse!" shouted the monster slayer. The apprentice quickly aimed his crossbow and pulled the trigger, but the wind grabbed the stake and threw it off course sending it hurtling into the black of night! The startled vampire transformed back into a bat and flew off into the inky darkness. "No!" cried the monster slayer. "Months lost and now he knows he's we're on to him! Our one chance ruined!" "Forgive me, teacher," the student pleaded, "for it was an on nest missed stake."
