I love my job, killing vampires and werewolves, zombies, and freaks... it's what makes me happy. But people are starting to disappear and lately I've felt a dark presence lurking around me. I think it might be a death priest ... and that's really bad. There isn't much a demon like me fears, but I fear them.
