As a harbinger of death, a member of an elite squad of vampire warriors, Selena swore an oath to destroy the ancient enemies of her kind. For centuries she knew no other calling - and did not desire another. She looked around the empty park, checking the location of her partner. He was in place, directly opposite her, on the other side of the park. A large granite bust of the forgotten Communist leader looked out over the gravel paths that wound around the monuments. Selena didn't see Diego hiding behind the huge bust, so she raised her hand to signal him. Her smooth, white, ivory fingers glowed in the moonlight.
