Laurell sighed in relief as Hunter crashed into her house, she quickly closed the drapes covering the rising sun from veiw before turning to smile at Alex, She saw Hunter rush off to get the medical supplies and sighed softly heading over to where Alex and ewan seemed to be attached at the waist. "Let me see the cut Alex" she whispered holding her hand out for the Slayers arm, very gently she took Alexs arm from round Ewans waist and studied the cut "This is gonna look disgusting but hey it will help" she told her smiling sweetly "All you will feel is a tingling ok" she mumbled as she lowered her face to Alex's arm and licked slowly along the length of the gash. Having reached the end of the cut laurell turned her head and spat the blood out. "Just to show you im not after a free meal" she giggled wiping her mouth with her sleave. She wandered slowly over to the lounger feeling strangely disconnected... the sun was up but she hadnt died yet. She sat down and rested her head in her hands... "So what do we do now?" she asked no one in particular

A low growling noise started to build up in Ewan's chest as he watched Laurell lick Alex's wound. A few seconds later, he calmed down, realizing that Laurell wasn't after a 'free meal' and was only trying to help. "Thanks," he choked out afterward. Ewan kissed Alex's forehead and whispered reassuring things into her ear. "Its alright. Im going to take you to your father's right after this. I just thought that we should all stay together until Hunter gives me a plan or something."
Hunter was back a few minutes later, medical supplies overflowing in his arms. He layed all the stuff down on the table and turned to face his audience. "Well, there's not much to do. We'll have to keep a good eye on you two" he said, motioning his hand at Alex and Laurell. "Requiem wont stop until Alex is...." Ewan started to growl, which made HUnter change his word choice, "...um until Alex is you know. He also thinks that we've kidnapped Laurell. He's gonna come looking for her. Ewan, you stay with Alex at all times and ill stick with Laurell. Everyday we'll have a check in time, alright? Just to make sure everyone is ok. Alex, I think its best if you dont go on patrol for a little while. Stay at home with your father."

Alex's face whipped around to stare bewildered at Hunter. "Wait, what?! I'm the slayer. It's my job to go on patrol. Imagine what will happen if I don't!" She protested. She didn't want to go on patrol, she never wanted to, but it was her job. Her conscious would be ruined if she was forced to stay at home. People depended on her and if Ewan was suppose to stay with her at all times, how were they suppose to stop the monsters from destroying the town?

Laurell looked up at Hunter slightly shocked before she turned to the window, the sun was up and shining brightly behind the drapes. "So you think requiem is gonna come looking for us both again" she said softly her eyes shining as she turned them on Alex. "I think you would be safer at your house ... either there or here" she bit her lip knowing that how she was acting was not exactly how they expected her to be. "I mean if you stayed here theres plently of hiding places and well with my scent and Hunters about the place it might just disguise yours" she babbled before turning to shrug her shoulder st Hunter "I'm glad you got me out of there Hunter I think he may have just killed me if i had stayed" she bit her lip gently

Ewan pulled Alex gently by the waist, backwards, toward the door. He still didnt trust Laurell and it wasnt because of Alex. Laurell had chosen Requiem and her true, original intentions were to harm Alex and Hunter. Well, maybe not Hunter. Laurell seemed to be...infatuated with him. "Hunter, Alex's house is the safest place. Perhaps it would be wise to trade off houses. Halfway through the week, Alex would come here and the other half she'd stay with her father. I would have to stay hidden of course....." he mumbled the last part, lowering his gaze to Alex.
Hunter nodded and decided to adress Alex's slayer speech. "Look Alex, we're doing this for your best interest. We want you safe and we want you to live a long, prosporous life. Dont you want to spend the rest of your life, LIVING, with....." Ewan butted in and finished Hunter's sentence, "....With me." Ewan smiled and kissed the top of her head.
Hunter walked over to Laurell and wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders. "Well, theres not much left to do except hide and fight. Oh and PLEASE you two, dont make this harder than it has to be on Ewan and I," he added, chuckling.

"Yeah I want the same thing you guys do but I have a job. I can't just blow it off because one vampire thinks he is all high and mighty. Think of what would happen to everyone if the slayer went into hiding? I'm not worth the lives of hundreds of people." Alex decided that getting her point across in a calm tone might work better then getting angry and yelling. She wanted nothing more then to stop her slayer business and spend her time with Ewan but that wasn't going to happen. She had come to peace with her 'calling' and what it might cost her.

Laurell noticed Ewan pulling Alex backward and she hissed slightly under her breath at him, She didn’t trust him not to sell her hiding place off to Requiem just to keep Alex safe. She just shrugged her shoulders slightly, “Feel free to use this place when ever ya want” she said softly pushing her hair back from her face, “I know its not the nicest of places but its safe” She folded her arms over her chest and hugged herself.
“Alex listen to them please” she whispered before looking directly into the slayers face “If its patrolling you are worried about then stop. This town isn’t going to fall apart in a few days or weeks” she said softly her eyes traveling from Alex’s to Ewans and Hunters, “Its been like this for as long as I can remember and a few days off for the slayer isn’t going to change it much, its not as if we are going to annouce to the vampire population that the slayer is taking a holiday” she chewed lightly on her bottom lip. “But if you don’t hide out for a while then that is going to matter it could mean your death!” she stated
Speech over with she rubbed her bare arms with her hands as if cold. A chill was rushing through her veins like ice water and she shivered. Feeling Hunters arm round her shoulder she smiled at him “we stand together we fight together” she whispered bedore shaking her head at his next words. “Us make it harder for you two” she giggled “Just as long as you don’t leave the toilet seat up im cool” she said trying to keep her face straight. “

Ewan picked Alex up in his arms, still worried that she was injured and carried her outside. Hunter walked over to the couch and sat down, resting his head back. It'd been a long night and it was sure to be a long week. He let out a soft sigh and looked up at the ceiling. "Well, all we can do is wait. When the time is right, Ewan and I will strike and you and Alex will be safe."
Ewan stuck to the shadows, crossed back yards and jumped off of roofs, Alex still in his arms. They finally reached the front of her house and he set her down. "Are you alright? You gave me quite a scare."

"I'm fine." Alex said in a defeated voice. She would argue some more but she knew that Ewan wouldn't let her patrol, he would go through any length to stop her from going. She pressed the code in at the gate and the iron gate opened to let them through. She walked slowly up to the front door and tried to open it but it was locked. "Identify yourself!" A deep voice commanded.
"I'm Alexandra Cramer, I'm the mayors daughter." She said, a bit confused. The front door opened and she stepped through to see two guys in black suits in the doorway, holding stakes and a gun.
Mr. Cramer walked in from a door down the hallway and his face lit up when he saw Alex. "Alex! I was so worried," He said and hugged her when he was in arms reach. He kissed the top of her head and looked down at her. "I tried to come see how you were but you were gone and the hospital room was a mess. Are you alright?" He asked.

Laurell lent back against the couch and watched the ticking of the clock... for some unknown reason she didnt feel tired or empty just worried and sick. She sat up and watched Hunter as she sat across from her for a while "You dont think he will attack Alex while we sit here picking our nails" she asked softly her eyes shining. "I mean after all the trouble i have been through i dont want her to get hurt again" she bit her lip before standing and looking out the window at the approaching twilight. "Tonight is going to be full of laughs" she muttered under her breath as she lent her forehead against the cool window and watched the gathering gloom.

Ewan followed silently, keeping a good distance away from Alex. She was protected by three men. She didnt really need him inside. He stood just outside the door and smiled, watching her reunite with her father. Adorable. He stayed silent and kept his hands at his sides, in plain sight. He didnt want Mr.Cramer to freak out on him. "Maybe I should..." he mumbled, almost inaudibly.
Hunter looked over at Laurell and smiled. "Its alright. She'll be fine. Her father is the mayor and she is with a very protective hybrid. I think Alex will be fine. I just have to keep an eye on you and Ewan. We all have our jobs," he said jokingly. "Once its safe, you can go out and feed. Youll need it and I can come with you if youd like. I doubt Requiem would harm you. He thinks I kidnapped you. He'll probably just kiss you to death."

"I'm fine dad. I got um...I was taken by a vampire. Ewan saved me along with Hunter and....Laurell." Alex didn't want to admit that Laurell helped to save her life, but she was grateful.
Mr. Cramer looked up at Ewan and smiled. "Thank you so much. Are you hungry? Either of you? We could get someone to whip you up anything you want." He offered. He had talked to Hunter before so he knew that Hunter was good, he could also tell that both Hunter and Ewan were werewolves but he wouldn't be nasty unless they gave him a reason to. "We can get one of my guards to catch you something if you'd prefer that?"
Alex rolled her eyes and turned back to Ewan. She wanted him to come in and at least stay even if he wasn't going to eat anything. The guards were only trained to much. Vampires would be able to get passed them, especially Requiem.

Laurell laughed hollowly at Hunters words. "Kiss me to death" she stated "yeah while he rams a stake home" her voice was empty as she stared out at the darkening sky "Do you think he will be recovered enough to attack tonight" she whispered as she bit her lips thoughtfully, her eyes clouded over. Laurell turned and smiled sweetly at hunter as she made her way back over to the couch "Where are my manners" she said softly "Are you hungry or thristy or is there anything i can get you" she asked him turning towards the doorway, her stomach growled loudly and she placed a hand lightly over it before laughing.

"No thanks. Maybe I should wait outside and circle the house. I wouldnt want to intrude..." Ewan noticed the look on Alex's face and smiled. "Alright, thank you for your hospitality. Its been a while since ive been in a nice warm home like yours sir." Ewan followed them inside, but always kept his distance. Obviously, her father didnt know how Ewan's feelings for his daughter.
Hunter laughed softly and shook his head. "No im not hungry. But it sounds like you are. Do you have anything in the house? Id rather you not leave this house. And believe me when I say that Requiem is tricky, but not that smart. If you dont tell him that you're helping us, you'll be fine. Of course, I dont want to risk it. So, i'll protect you until my very last breath."

Alex took hold of Ewan's hand, not caring if her father objected to it. She liked having Ewan close to her, she felt safer. She glanced up at him and smiled. "You can relax," she whispered low enough so her father wouldn't hear.
Mr. Cramer asked one of the maids if she could go get them some water since everyone drank water. "If you aren't hungry would you like you go into the sitting room? I do have a few questions for the two of you."
