Seeking respite, the creature enters a bar hosting a shooting contest, eyes fixed on an older man exiting toward the woods. It’s a trap. As the predator lunges, a deafening crack splits the air. A bullet grazes the vampire’s face, harmless but shocking. Standing there is 10K, rifle steady, blue eyes wide with disbelief. The young sharpshooter lowers his weapon slightly, voice trembling with fear and curiosity: "What are you?!" The realization hits—the argument was a ruse, and the hunter has become the hunted.
