Description
Carter sat in the dim light of the approaching dawn and hung his head. His usual nonchalant grin gave way to a sorrowful expression instead. “A penny for your thoughts,” he said with an unfelt chuckle. He turned to the hideous monster beside him that wore a familiar human-like face.

“GRRRRRRR”

“Yeah. I feel the same way. This isn’t easy, you know.” He wiped his eye, which he obviously “had something in” and shifted his gaze away. He couldn’t continue to look at the vicious beast before him. “I had to be the one to do this, you know? There was no one else. I couldn’t let someone else…”

“GRRRRRRR”

Carter flinched at that growl and winced, holding his side. The monster had slashed him there during their arduous fight only a few hours ago. It saw a moment of weakness in the young vampire and lunged forward again, but was unable to move its limbs thanks to the Carter’s magic cast on the beast during the same battle. “No.” He said in a dour tone. “We won’t be having any of that in our final…”

“GRRR-GRRR-GRRRR”

“The sun’s almost up. We’ll watch it together.” Carter sat sill and watched the orange sky as the monster scrambled to leave. And as the sun rose, its light revealed itself to the two vampires on the hill, one living and one dead. Carter felt slightly uncomfortable warmth on his skin, but the dead vampire smoldered and went ablaze, burning down to a pile of dust.

Carter hung his head again, letting his hair fall over his eyes as he sobbed into his arm. He clicked his communicator. “Agent Carter reporting. The hostile DV has been eliminated,” he said turning his gaze back to the ashes.

“I’m sorry it came to this. I love you, dad.”
