New Beginnings
‘I shouldn’t have done it,’ Jane sighed to herself as the rickety cart thumped over the muddy ridges left by yesterday’s Cobb and Co mail run, ‘but it’s done now, and it can’t be undone.’ Looking back over her shoulder at the barely visible sea of grubby white tents flapping in the summer breeze, she resolved that there would be no more looking back, and turned away from the goldfields of Victoria, her past, and her marriage to Denis Fagan, the sparkly-eyed, champagne tongued Irish gold miner who had lost himself in the booze and despair of many a destitute miner on the Ballarat diggings.

Vampire Hunters
So now you know how my brother and I became vampires. However, you still don't know why we hunt them down and kill demons. Actually, that story is quite simple. It was a brisk spring morning forty-nine years after the night our mother was killed by Jedadiah. We were now Roman soldiers and very high rankings ones at that. We were Centurions, we were over two different Centuria of course. However, we were in the same legion. I believe you do know the story of the crucifixion of the Messiah. How two Roman soldiers nailed Him to the cross and hoisted it up into the hole as his body jolted in pain. Yeah, those two soldiers were my brother and I.

Nothing Good Ever Lasts
It was dusk and one by one the boys arrived. Each one looked around before clambering up the old iron column to their private garden. Izzy had been the first one to climb up here onto the old high-line railbed. For three precious weeks, it had been all his. Here he was above the madness and the noise and the filth.

Vampire Hunters
Do you ever just wonder how you got into a situation and then realize it’s your brother's fault? Yeah, same here. Actually, now that I think about it; it doesn't happen that often. However, no matter what my brother gets us into, it will never be as bad as the day he almost got both of us killed. It happened over two thousand years ago. During a calm and cool midsummer night in July in a small village called Bethlehem. Which is about six miles south of Jerusalem. The Christian bible doesn’t get a lot wrong but one of the few things it does get wrong is the day Christ was born. The planets that align to form the star of Bethlehem wouldn’t be in the right position to rise the star for the wise men to follow in December to the manger. The right time would be the same night my brother Jake and I turned into the one thing we feared the most. It was the night we were turned into bloodsucking demons called Motetz Dam or as it is known in the English language, Vampires.
