Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Page #4

Yes?

That's it. Oh, that's tight.

Don't worry. It will only

hurt for a second or two.

Did you eat today?

I had killed a monster.

And I would kill again.

But no amount of death

could make me forget.

Merciful Christ, Lincoln,

what happened to your face?

Don't worry, I will still

be able to work.

Work?

To hell with work.

We got invited to a ball.

It could be your chance to save

Mary Todd from a life of boredom.

This suit makes me look ridiculous.

Nonsense.

But that hat makes you

look ridiculous. Come on.

Come on, come on.

Look, there she is.

Mr. Douglas, Joshua Speed.

Pleasure to see you.

Mary, you look lovely.

He's still missing.

Who's that?

Aaron Stibel.

Junior or Senior?

Junior.

- Who is that man?

- I don't know.

Mr. Douglas, you know

Senator Nolan, of course.

Oh, yes, Stephen.

Good to see you.

Have you heard this news?

Oh, yes. Yes, we're looking into it.

Rest assured, this kind of lawlessness

won't stand in the noble

state of illinois.

It's called a dance.

If we were meant to sit alone, they

would have called it something else.

Yes, I suppose they would have.

Come, Mr. Lincoln.

You will ruin the upholstery

if you sit there any longer.

I am sure you're a very

nice man, Mr. Lincoln,

but you're a...

A shopkeeper, in a borrowed suit.

No, it's not a matter of means.

Really, no.

I came to Springfield looking

for someone different.

Someone whose life was a bit

more adventurous, and well...

My apologies, I am never this...

Honest?

Rude.

Miss Todd, may I speak candidly?

I, too, came here to better myself.

That's why I have taken

an interest in the law,

and why, if I may be so bold,

I have taken an interest in you.

And as for the adventure

that you seek,

I suspect that few men could ever

hope to provide that for you.

Least of all your fiance,

Stephen Douglas.

Mr. Lincoln, you are full of surprises.

Miss Todd, you have no idea.

Dear Abraham.

I have made a deposit at the local bank.

Be careful, it can quickly disappear.

Henry, there are more

than I ever thought possible.

Pharmacists, Innkeepers, pastors.

It's more than a man can bear.

Well, I see I am such

interesting company.

I am sorry.

I have been working nights.

Really? Is that true?

Do you really want to

know the truth, Mary?

Each and every night,

I go out

hunting vampires.

Well, how do you hunt these vampires?

With an axe.

A special silver axe, of course.

Of course.

And how many would you

reckon you have killed?

Five. No, six.

I have killed six vampires.
