Picking up where we last left off, Abe has vowed to kill all the vampires he could in his life. He starts practicing throwing his axe and developing methods to kill the vampires, along with strengthening his body by doing manual labor. At one point, Abe tells his dad that hes going to work in Louisiana, while really he's hunting vampires. One night while following this woman vampire, he startles her and she attacks him, but suddenly she is killed and says "traitor." Abe is saved by another vampire, who then rescues Abe and brings him back to his house.
I thought this part was very well written because it introduced another very important character into the story, unexpectedly as well. When I read about Henry (The vampire) mentoring Abe, all I could think that he was either going to die, or turn evil; that's always what happens to wise, old mentors. I also thought it was funny that Henry was teaching Abe all of these tricks to kill vampires, and letting him know of fallacies of vampire hunting that are always thought work, such as garlic only giving away the hunter's scent easier.
I really found it ironic how Henry is teaching him all of these tactics, and if he really does turn evil, it will probably be Abe who tries to kill him. That means Henry pretty much taught Abe how to kill his own mentor.
