Laurell blushed at her stomachs weird noises and giggled slightly, "I got some blood bags down in the basement" she said biting her lip, she didnt really want Hunter to go down there, not much had changed since he last saw it. "I'll pop down and get them" she said sweetly before closing her eyes and concentrating her thoughts into exploding herself. her body became like smoke and she vanished through the cracks in the floor boards... only to reappear as smoke trveling back up and reforming into herself, blood bags in hand "back" she smiled as she sat down on the couch. "You sure you dont want anything" she asked him holding out a bunch of bloog bags "I got O neg, A pos and a really rare one A-B Neg" she said studying the bags.
Her attention was suddenly drawn to the window where full dark was almost on them. "He rises" she said softly as a feeling of lethargy flooded her body, she felt drained and lent back in the couch her eyes closed tightly. "he can sense me" she whispered fearfully

Hunter refused the bags politely and rubbed her shoulder. "Its alright, as long as he can't get to you. Which he wont. Not while im around." Hunter wandered over to the window and shut the blinds/curtains. He stacked dressers and bookcases infront of the windows, just in case. Once everything was blocked up he sat back down next to Laurell. "You ok? Just drink and rest. Ill take care of everything."
"Questions?" he asked curiously. 'Oh great. Lets start with the questions. I know how this night's gonna end. The hybrid is gonna be shot up with silver and thrown outside.' he thought. Ewan squeezed Alex's hand gently and followed Mr.Cramer into the sitting room. When the maids arrived with the water, Ewan chugged the whole thing in a matter of seconds. Once he had downed atleast three more glasses, he sat back on the couch and smiled. "You had questions sir?"

Alex sat down next to Ewan, opposite of her father. She wasn't worried knowing full well that her father trusted her judgment. He wouldn't hurt Ewan as long as he had no reason to. So far he had reason to praise Ewan since Ewan saved Alex.
"I would like to know more about the vampire that almost got to my daughter, and may I once again thank you for saving her, if you would pass my thanks onto Hunter and that girl, Laurell was it? I would also like to know a little more about you. You were adopted by Hunter right?" He asked. He had done a background check on Hunter and Ewan since he noticed Ewan was spending a lot of time with Alex.
"I hope you don't mind that I had you checked out. With Alex's new....life style I wanted to make sure she was around safe people."

Laurell kept her eyes closed as she heard hunter moving things around closing the shutters and stacking boxes in front of the doors. Her strength was slowly sapping from her body and she felt strangely heavy yet hollow. "If he wants in he will find a way" she whispered softly before nodding at hunter and ripping open one of the bags, the blood was cold and she gagged twice before managing to down most of it "That feels a little better" she said more to herself then Hunter. Laurell looked at Hunter "He is coming i can feel him" she said her eyes flashing "cant you feel how heavy the air has got" she lifted an arm which felt like a ten ton weight. The air around her seemed to be squeezing in on her "Please dont let him find me" she prayed her voice so soft it hardly tremored the air

Ewan smiled and took one last sip of water before beginning. "Well, a new vampire came to town and teamed up with.....umm Laurell. She told him about Sleepy Hollow and the slayer. Later, Alex was attacked by Requiem and taken to his hideout. Hunter turned Laurell to our side and we all managed to get out of there alive. Requiem is a powerful vampire. He wont go down easily. We umm....we want Alex to stay inside for a few days. She'll miss school, but her safety is worth it." Ewan looked around and admired their home, and then adverted his gaze back to Mr. Cramer. "Hunter adopted me just recently. Which was nice, ive never had much of a father figure. So ya, not much else to say. Unless, you have more questions," he said smiling.
Hunter grabbed Laurell and led her outside. He kept a firm grip on her and pulled her towards the forest. "We'll just have to keep moving then. I agree though, he feels a lot....stronger. Its interesting....." Hunter suddenly caught a whiff of a nearby vampire. "Not good..."
Requiem appeared out of no where and tackled Hunter to the ground. Hunter didnt have enough time to dodge. Requiem bit down onto his neck and sucked. Memories flooded through his mind. Hunter screamed in pain and shoved the vampire off of him. He scrambled to his feet, his hands gripping his neck wound. Requiem just smirked and circled the two. "Laurell, are you still with me or has this dog won your heart? Who are you with Laurell?"

"Alex could you go ask Rachel to put fresh covers on your bed?" He asked in a nice voice. He gave Alex a look which she knew; he wanted to talk to Ewan alone. She could only guess why and stood up.
"I'll be right back," She whispered to Ewan and walked out.
As soon as Alex walked out of the room Mr. Cramer looked at Ewan and smiled lightly. "I would like to know your feelings about my daughter. I do not mind what you are, I trust Alex's judgment, but I would still like to know the truth if you're going to be around here a lot."

Laurell screamed as Requiem leapt at Hunter, she froze watching him circle the two of them his question throwing her off guard a bit, she swallowed and looked at hunter hoping he could read in her eyes what was going through her mind. "Requiem thank the dark lord" she sobbed as she threw herself at his feet, her eyes straying back to where Hunter was standing his hand cupping the wound on his neck. "They guarded me all day and when the night came Hunter was going to take me somewhere and hide me from you" she said before closing her eyes and sobbing hard, her tears were real knowing that she would never be trusted again, she just wished there was some way she could convey to Hunter that she wasnt turning against him, and that if requiem believed that she was with him she could watch his movements and report them to Hunter or Alex. Laurell sibbed harder burying her face into the wet grass, knowing that if all failed now she had lost everything

Ewan lost all feelings of comfort and relaxation. This was just plain awkward. "Umm....she's a great girl and wonderful friend. Other than Hunter, she was my first friend in Sleepy Hollow and she's really helped me out a lot." 'Alright, stop beating around the bush. Just tell him. From that smile on his face, he already knows.' He took a deep breath and slouched in his seat. "I care about your daughter very very much. I would throw myself infront of a bus for her. I wouldnt mind spending the rest of my life protecting her. Just knowing that she's safe, makes life worth living. I think, I mean....I know that i'm in love with your daughter." After a few moments he looked up to try and see Mr. Cramer's expression. "If its a problem, I understand. If nothing else, I hope I can still be her protector."
Hunter wasnt sure what to think about Laurell's actions. She kept changing sides. He knew that she cared for him but he also knew that she could easily be persuaded by evil vampires. Hunter didnt want to blow her cover. He hoped that she'd understand. He ran off before anything else could happen to him. He needed to heal. Requiem boomed with laughter and picked Laurell up off of the grass. "Awww.....they've deserted you. Just like I knew they would. You know that I have Hunter's memories, right? Well, I foresaw his future. I also saw this moment. He'd planned on giving you over to me. You see, I was planning on kidnapping Alex. I actually saw myself killing Ewan just before that. Interesting. And then, just barely alive, I saw Ewan ask Hunter to save Alex. No matter what. He was going to trade you for her. So sorry Laurell. Do you realize who your real friends are?" he asked, stroking her hair and cheek.

Mr. Cramer heard footsteps in the distance, Alex would be coming back so he didn't have much time. "I have no problem with it. You seem like a good kid and you have helped her so I know I can trust you to keep her safe. However if you want to see her, please knock, don't sneak through her window." He grinned. He knew that Ewan had snuck into Alex's room one, security showed him.
Alex came back at that moment and looked from Ewan to her father. "Are you done? I would like some alone time with him before you scare him off." Mr. Cramer moved his hand in a way to say he was done.

[[OOC thanks for waiting]]
Laurell watched silently as Hunter disappeared into the night, she didn’t know if she would ever see him again and she wished him luck for his further adventures, her mind set in her own direction. She looked hollowly up at Requiem as he lifted her from the grass, all life gone from her eyes, as she heard what Requiem knew about ... well ....everything.
Laurell didn’t know what to believe any more, she wanted desperately to trust Hunter but here was Requiem telling her exactly what she had feared all along…. She swallowed deeply her throat making a clicking sound as she stared unbelievingly back into the dark night where Hunter had disappeared, before turning her gaze onto Requiem, a small sweet, yet sad, smile on her lips. She nodded silently as she heard him declare them not to be her friends, lowering her haunted eyes so as to hide her anguish and pain. Laurell bit her lip hard enough to draw blood; she knew that, although she would never be trusted by any again and she resigned herself to that fact, she would survive… With a little luck. With a soft sigh of resignation she lent in against Requiem and stared into the unrelenting night, her head held high a small sneer of spite crossing her lips.

(I moved this back in the posting line. I think its the end of the thread for Requiem.)
Ewan tried to smile, but he couldnt fully erase the look of shock and surprise on his face as Alex joined them. 'Of course he knew, he's the mayor. He must always keep an eye on his little girl. She's the slayer!' "Umm, thank you sir for the....umm...advice," his voice cracking at the end. He was embarrassed, that was for sure. He was actually relieved that Alex had returned. Her prescence always calmed him. Ewan looked at Alex and waited patiently for something to happen. He was her guard and therefore, followed her around.

Alex rolled her eyes and took Ewan's hand. She brought him out of the room and looked at him. "Are you okay? Did my dad say something?" She asked, her voice fully of worry. She was surprised that Ewan had a look of shock on his face, that only happened around monsters. Her father was hardly a monster.

"No, he was very friendly. He just knew a lot about me. About us. If there is an...us. Not really sure where I stand with you. Anyway....your dad is really nice. I actually cant believe he chose to be the mayor of this town. I pictured him as a rural area, quaint little town like mayor." Ewan held her hand in his and gave her a very sweet yet subtle smile. He knew he was being overprotective, always staying by her, but he felt it was necessary at a time like this.

Alex nodded and started to walk up to her room, bringing Ewan along with her. She knew her dad wouldn't mind as long as she kept the door open. "My father picked here on purpose. When he was about...about Ryan's age he had been a watcher except instead of him dieing the slayer he had been sent to, died. He was kicked off of the watcher's council after the death and shortly after he married my mom. He doesn't like to talk about it, but sometimes he has nightmares about the day, I can hear him. I'm guessing that's why he's being so open-minded about us."

Ewan followed her up to her room and sat on the edge of her bed, looking at all of her trinkets. "Well, its nice to know a little bit about our mayor. He always seemed to mysterious to me. Of course, I never had time to go to the library and research him. I was busy trying to control werewolf urges," he said chuckling. Ewan's forhead creased and he seemed to be concentrating on something. "I shouldnt be asking, but what happened to your mom? I mean, I never see.....I-I....shouldnt have asked."
