III. Funeral

The funeral was over. Two men buried the case with sand while some other men laid some roses by the grave. Woman were not allowed. I stood underneath a tree, agitated I couldn’t come closer.
‘This is so stupid…’ I sighed. Leo was standing on the other side of the graveyard, clearly happy he had another job to do. The men at the grave exchanged some words and then walked away. The sun had already set. ‘Not long from now…’ I whispered.
He opened his eyes, scared for no reason. When he realized where he was he panicked. ‘I can’t breathe in here!’ He screamed. ‘HELP ME!’ Hi hit his fists on the lid of the wooden box he was locked up in. His fist ran right through and the box filled itself with sand. He coughed when he dug himself out of the ground. I still stood under the tree.
‘Well… This ought to be interesting!’ I laughed. The boy looked up, his eyes red, wild for blood. When he noticed me he tried to make a run for it. In just a second I stood in front of him. ‘Not so fast!’ Scared by my speed he desperately turned around and bumped into Leo, with a stake right through his heart. Before you could blink he had turned to dust. ‘That was easy,’ I smiled. ‘Great job bro!’ From the other side of the graveyard I heard clapping. Scared I turned around.
‘Impressive!’ The man said. ‘So you’re the two who have been killing my newborn! I needed them ya know?’ I stepped forward and looked deep into the vampires eyes. He immediately backed off.
‘YOU…’ I said irritated. ‘Should go!’ At first the man looked slightly intimidated, but then he started laughing.
“And what where you gonna do about it sweetie?” He said. “I am older than you can imagine.” Leo grabbed his shoulders.
“I doubt it.” He whispered. “We are old. Very old. You could say, the first.” The vampire’s eyes shrank. The terror was showing. He shook Leo off and made a run for it. Leo wanted to go after him but I held my arm in front of his torso.
“Leave him brother. We’ll get him later.” Leo turned his head to me. There was no way he would refuse. He’d do everything for me. In the distance I saw the humans closing their windows and leaving the streets. The man was nowhere in sight, but there was one thing I noticed. A man in a blue coat with black hair. He was looking at the fireflies that where flying around him and shining a purple light at them. “Doctor.” I whispered
