4 - Bitty the Vampire Slayer!
Oldie but a goodie! I know I posted a little of this years ago but the premise is that Bittyâs a vampire hunter sent north by his family to root out a nest at Samwell; or, at least, thatâs the reason Bitty gives his family for wanting to go to college, play hockey, be normal, etc..Â
While at Samwell, Bitty actually does stumble upon evidence of supernatural activity and realizes Jackâs the source.
Jack looks up from the stake in his hands, CCM logo still visible from where Eric hasnât polished it away.
âYouâŚuh, dropped this.â
Jackâs sporting a look Ericâs never seen as he holds the spike up to his chest, resting the point on his sternum like a chef testing a blade. Itâd be terribly easy for Eric to drive that point deep enough to kill.
âSo . . . Slayer, huh?â Jack asks, sending a chill down Ericâs spine.
âSo, vampire, huh?â Eric counters, bracing himself for a fight.
âIâm not really sure anymore.â Jack lowers the stake before extending his hand, offering the weapon.
âNot a good enough answer,â Eric presses, reaching out slowly to take the stake from his Captain, definitely not fisting another in his pocket, ready for the worst, but Jack doesnât engage.
âSo, youâre just here because of the vampires?â Jack questions awkwardly. âNot hockey?â
âIâm sorry, are you seriously more upset about the fact I faked my contact issues than you are about me being a Slayer who poses an immediate threat to your wellbeing?â
Jackâs face twists into something between embarrassment and anger, triggering the shift in his features Ericâs only used to seeing before he needs to remove something from existence.
âNo, I justâŚI thought I helped you.â
Sweet Lord, donât make me have to kill this boy, Eric prays.
