The drive was calm, and no one dared to speak. Luna kept her eyes on the road, face set in a serious expression. The tension in the car was thick, like fog pressing in on every breath.
'This is my new life. It's hard to believe... but I've already woken up from this nightmare. There's no going back—only survival,' she thought, gripping the steering wheel a little tighter. The hum of the engine was the only sound between them, a soft reminder of the road stretching endlessly ahead.
She had to stay alive. She must.
All her life, she'd chased one thing: freedom. Happiness. But she never truly had either. The world never gave her room to breathe. She had been shackled by fate, by others' expectations, by a life that felt borrowed and broken.
Every chance to smile felt like a blessing—a fragile moment always at risk of vanishing.
Now, everything was different, but the longing was the same.
She just needed freedom.
Real freedom.
The silence didn't last long. The SUV pulled up in front of a gas station—and what she saw made her chest tighten.
Chaos. Screams.
The station was a battlefield. Vampires swarmed like beasts, eyes glowing with bloodlust. They bit into flesh without hesitation, draining their victims with feral hunger. Humans ran in all directions, some trying to escape, others frozen in fear. The air was filled with the sharp scent of blood and gunpowder.
Police officers fired desperately, but their bullets did nothing. Bodies hit the ground. People cried out. It was carnage.
Luna's stomach turned. She didn't like this. Not one bit.
She threw the door open and jumped down from the SUV, boots hitting the ground hard. Without waiting for backup or hesitation, she stepped forward, her voice cutting through the panic.
"Everyone, take your positions! Make sure to save as many as you can!" She commanded the few members of the Omega Black team that came along with them. Her tone left no room for debate.
Lena, standing just behind her, blinked in disbelief.
'Luna… saving humans?' she thought, stunned. It felt strange. Unreal.
"Boss… are you sure?" she asked, needing confirmation—needing to know she hadn't misheard something so out of character.
"Do I look like I'm joking? Take your position immediately!" Luna snapped, fury flaring in her eyes.
She couldn't stand watching the vampires hurt these people.
Not anymore.
It was only five of them as Lena instructed the three people she brought to take their positions and started hunting down the vampires. The air was thick with the scent of blood and smoke, the streets cast in a sickly red glow from the fires already spreading through the buildings. The city had turned into a battlefield.
Luna had never known how to fight, not properly. In her old life, she hadn't needed to. But now, her adrenaline surged at full voltage, overriding her fear, flooding her senses. The screams around her, the crashing of glass, the guttural snarls of vampires—it all blended into a single sound: survival. She didn't have a plan. She didn't have training. But she had resolved. She vowed to fight till death, if that's what it came to.
"F***k! They're too many! What the hell is wrong with these vampires?" Lena complained, her voice sharp with frustration and urgency. She pulled out a gun — one specially engineered for situations like this. Its bullets were made for killing vampires, laced with silver and a core that ignited on contact. She fired without hesitation, her movements fluid and fierce, switching effortlessly between shooting and striking with her fists. The recoil didn't even make her flinch.
Luna, on the other hand, wasn't trying to fight head-on. She was rushing through the chaos, grabbing injured civilians, shielding children, pulling terrified people into safer corners of nearby buildings. Her heart thundered in her chest. Each time she caught a glimpse of a vampire, she gritted her teeth and pushed forward. The noise of bullet fire echoed through the evening, overlapping with the cries of the wounded and the growls of the enemy as everybody struggled for survival.
Some humans screamed just at the sight of her. They recognized her — Luna, the villainess who had once stood against them. The one who had blood on her hands. Even now, in the middle of carnage, fear of her past clung to them.
"Fire? Fire!" policemen shouted in a frenzy, but their weapons were useless. The standard bullets bounced off the creatures like pebbles. They were no match.
Lena turned mid-air while still firing, her coat whipping like wings around her. She landed with ease in front of Luna, crouching as her boots hit the ground.
"We need more people!" she said, out of breath but not panicking.
"Do what needs to be done!" Luna ordered, eyes scanning the battlefield, jaw tight.
"Yess boss," Lena replied with a quick nod, determination flickering in her eyes.
"You can call the Alpha Mega Team," Luna reasoned, wiping blood off her cheek as she steadied a small girl behind her.
"Don't worry boss. The Alpha Mega Team is meant for protecting the premises of the company and the mansion! The Omega Black Team will handle this." And with that, she vanished into the smoke, already moving to execute her plan.
Luna and the other three fought the vampires, and even some pure-hearted ones joined in to help.
"What is going on here?" Luna asked a vampire, surprised to see him fighting alongside them.
The vampire didn't answer, continuing to slash through his own kind.
"Why are you helping us?" Luna repeated, bending down and aiming a stake at a vampire's heart.
"I should be the one asking you that. Why are you helping us?"
Luna barely had time to process the words before more vampires rushed toward her. She pulled three knives from her thigh holster and hurled them one by one with practiced ease.
"Everyone, find a place that's safe!" she instructed, eyes scanning the chaos.
Then—Lena arrived, leading a troop dressed entirely in brown.
"Take your positions!" she shouted.
Gunfire erupted. They began shooting vampires without hesitation, striking down both the vicious and the innocent.
Within minutes, no wicked vampires remained.
But just as the dust seemed to settle, the ground in the distance erupted with a thunderous bang. Explosions tore through the streets in a chain of fire.
Houses. Cars. Everything ignited in blinding flames.
"Hell no. This is ruins," Luna muttered under her breath, stunned.
