[ WP ] Werewolves and vampires are still around , long after most humans have been enslaved or eliminated by the AI uprising . Now it 's time to give those robots something they were n't calculating for .

The faint smell of oxidizing blood lingered in the night air. Crouched low to ground as to avoid detection from the patrolling machines, I pin pointed the direction of the human body. My movement had to be timed just right to avoid the UV lamps equipped on the Sunbots hands. I ducked beneath a parked bus and crawled my way across the street. As I raced further into the town, I heard the mechanical grind of a patrol somewhere near me. 
 
 `` Shit,'' I whispered to myself. 
 
 The stone wall I pressed my back against was cold and rough. Ever so slowly I leaned my head out to plan my next move. Three Sunbots were heading in the opposite direction down the street, shining their lights down every alley they passed. Once again I quietly yet nimbly crossed the wide open street. Not much longer I stumbled across the body I had been smelling. 
 
 A pale human body lie in the street before me. Large claw marks and bites could be seen all over the corpse. The wolves had gotten to him. Judging by the large pool of dried blood on the street, there probably was n't much left in the body. But I had to try anyway. 
 
 My teeth sank into the cold neck and I pulled a tiny drop of blood. Still fresh, but just barely. I drank deeply all the while keeping my ears open for the sound of any approaching patrols. Getting caught while feeding was n't my favorite way to spend my nights. As I had suspected the body did n't have much blood left in it to take, but it was enough to sustain me at least. Thinking back to how things used to be always made me miss the abundance of blood we once had. 
 
 Humans had designed the damned Sunbots nearly 20 years ago. Vampires had become far too brazen, and had been feeding on humans at will pretty much. As an act of defense, the robots were created strictly to combat the vampires. It worked to an extent. Our ranks were decimated not only by the machines, but by the werewolves who attacked us while we were weak. At one point we were the ultimate hunters, and now we are no better than the humans once were. 
 
 Shortly after the robots were created, their programming became flawed. They failed to see the difference between humans and vampires and as a result began killing humans. The ones they could n't kill were either captured by the werewolves to breed and eat, or are living in seclusion hiding through out the city and such. Who would has suspected humankind would someday be an endangered species? 
 
 The piercing sound of a siren startled me as I was feeding. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a Sunbot shining it's light down an alley. It had found something. I waited for the screaming of a burning vampire to fill the air, but it did n't come. Instead a large werewolf leaped from the alley way and ripped the machine apart. 
 
 `` Even better!'' I said aloud. 
 
 Wasting no time, I scurried into the nearest alley I could find. Werewolves were ungodly fast, and I wanted to get as much of a head start as I possibly could. This was of course made more difficult by the numerous patrols of the damned robots. Regardless, I had to escape. I had n't made it even two blocks before I heard the roar of the werewolf. 
 
 The beast was behind me walking upright. It was toying with me. 
 
 `` I have a surprise for you poochy.'' I reached into my backpack. 
 
 Near the bottom of my backpack there were a few electronic sound emitters. I scooped one up and threw it behind me before I started to run. 
 
 I could hear the werewolf panting as it began to run after me. `` 3... 2.... 1.'' I whispered. 
 
 A howl of pain filled the air as the device emitted an impossibly high sound. The poor bastard could n't help but run in circles as the sound disoriented him. I climbed the nearest building to me and took off towards my hideout before the device shut down. 
 
 Nearly and hour later I arrived at my sanctuary. Well, it was more like a hole in the ground that I had turned into a hideout from the sun and other dangers. But it served it's purpose quite well. Strangely enough, the pile of debris I usually had covering the entrance seemed to be moved already. Someone had found my home. I withdrew a silver dagger from my backpack before I cautiously descended the ladder. 
 
 All was silent and from what I could see there was no one here. I closed my eyes and began to inhale, concentrating on the smells. One smell stood out from the rest. Human. My eyes darted to the right and I could hear muffled breathing coming from inside of my makeshift closet. I yanked open the door and saw a young woman clasping her mouth with both hands, staring at me wide eyed. 
 
 `` No, please do n't kill me.'' She plead. 
 
 I pulled her out by her wrists and stared at her. `` Do you know how long it's been since I had fresh blood?'' 
 
 She was visibly terrified and began to speak frantically. `` No please, you do n't understand.. I'm pregnant.'' 
 
 I released her wrist and glanced down at her stomach. Sure enough the humans stomach was accented with a baby bump. This changed things. Just because I must feed does n't mean I'm a monster. The woman saw that I was n't going to bite her and before I could think she snatched my dagger from my hand. 
 
 My first reaction was to snatch it back and kill her. But I noticed she did n't seem to be threatening me with it. Instead she took it and cut herself open on her shoulder and began pouring the blood into a jar she had. She was offering me her blood. 
 
 `` If you can just protect me, I can provide you with as much of my blood as I safely can. Please, just get me back to my home.'' She handed me the jar which was about half full of fresh blood. 
 
 I gladly accepted it and began to drink deeply. Fresh warm blood, what a treat. The woman began to wrap her shoulder in a gauze. 
 
 `` A vampire helping a human,'' I said to her. `` How unheard of.'' 
 
 `` Look, I would n't ask if I was n't desperate. It's a miracle I managed to escape the wolves. Are you going to help me or what?'' Her arm was fully bandaged now. 
 
 I thought about for a moment. This woman was clearly desperate and she would certainly die if I did n't help her. Not to mention the fresh blood would be great to have even if just for a short time. 
 
 `` I suppose I have no choice, I ca n't just let you die out there.'' 
 
 `` Great, can we leave now?'' She asked. 
 
 I laughed, `` It is nearly morning out there, and me and the sun do n't quite get along.'' 
 
 She looked embarrassed. `` Oh, that's right. We can leave tomorrow night then as soon as the sun goes down.'' 
 
 `` Sounds good to me.'' I said. 
 
 That was all that was said for now. As I took off my backpack and began to lie down to sleep, I could n't help but think how strange of a predicament I had gotten myself in to.
