Ewan glanced down at Alex and locked eyes with her. "Alex, please just do this for me. Stay here. Im sure Hunter would come with me but I need someone to stay with you. If I dont do something, Requiem's little coven will keep growing. The population of vampires will sky rocket. I can stop it tonight...."

Alex growled. "It's not your job to stop it Ewan, it's mine. If you're not going to let me go, then have Hunter go with you. I'm perfectly safe here, but alone you won't last very long. I'm not going to have you die because you wouldn't let me do my job." She wasn't going to loose the fight, she would make sure of that.

Ewan let out a soft sigh, and ran a hand through his hair. He pulled out his cell phone, which surprisingly was still in working order, and dialed Hunter's number. After a few moments, he slammed the phone shut and threw it on her bed. "Damn...." He threw himself onto her bed, and looked up at the ceiling. "He wont pick up. He's probably out scoping the clubs for vamps tonight." His breathing increased slightly from the stress of the situation. "They're gonna get him Alex...ive got to help him..." he whispered in a helpless tone.

"Then let me come with you. I'm the slayer, it's my job to do this." Alex begged though part of her knew that Ewan wouldn't let her go. A strange pain hit her and she frowned. Ewan kept acting like she was a crappy slayer and the thought made her feel useless. Her eyes wondered until they were staring at her feet, not wanting to look at Ewan.

"I know you could kill them all Alex. I know you're stronger than me, you're stronger than Hunter. You're the slayer Alex. You were made for this job, whether you know it or not. You may be small, but you're so.....fiesty. I just....dont want you to get hurt. If I made one mistake, they could take you. You dont understand how I felt when I saw you chained to the chair and he was.....doing things to you. I dont want to experience it again. Ever"

"So what are you going to do? Keep me in here forever to make sure he doesn't take me? Ewan I get why you don't want me out there but there will always be a chance that they'll take me, I know that, but I can't just stop doing my job because of that. Let me help, you're going to need it." She was trying her hardest to get Ewan to change his mind but he just wouldn't budge. He was stubborn, just like her.

Ewan glanced over at her, his face twisted in pain. She had a good argument but Ewan just didnt want to let her go. "Alex, I........" he let out a sigh and then sat up on the bed, staring at the ground. "Fine. You can come. But if something happens to you, I want you to know that I'll never stop fighting. If he just lays a hand on you, I wont be able to control myself. Dont blame me for the stupid mistakes I may make." He'd given in, Surrendered. It was difficult, but after all, it was her job. He couldnt take that away from her.

Alex sat on his lap and looked up at him. She placed her hand on his chin and picked his head up so she could look him in the eyes. "Nothing's going to happen to me. If I see that I'm in danger I promise to leave. It would be nice for a few days of training since I need it."

"You wont leave my side, alright? Hunter needs us. Both of us. I understand now. Im suppose to be your side kick. We work together and im sure that we'll all survive tonight..." there was a small hint of uncertainty in his voice. He wrapped his arms around her and sighed into her hair, his eyes closed tight. "I dont think you understand how hard this is for me. Forget it. Lets just go get my dad back."

"About that. How come you never told me that Hunter adopted you?" She asked. She stood up, her hand still in Ewan. "Let's go find Hunter," She glanced out the window, hoping that Hunter hadn't found the new vampire Ewan was telling her about.

"Ill try to...explain on the way," he said, guiding her by the hand, out her door and down the street. He kept her close at all times and frequently sniffed the air. After a few minutes of silence he began. "We've always had a rocky relationship. I mean, you heard what he said in the hospital. It took a while getting over it. When he came back he was a....a different person. I gave him another chance and he adopted me. Both of us needed someone. Not like the way I need you. I needed a father figure and he'd never had to take care of someone since Emma passed away. We try not to talk about it because, well, for one, it's so new. Its kinda weird actually. Not only that, but we dont want the creatures of this town to use it against us. They might know that Hunter and I are friends but our relationship is stronger than that now. I would've told you, it just kinda....went over my head. Anything else? Sorry, long story. I just thought it would waste some time." They were already downtown, by the club. The stench was terrible. Vampires loved to come out a night, of course. "He's not here anymore.....I dont think....we may want to search the club for any scents though."

"You can do the whole sent thing. I'll check around back," Alex told Ewan and she ran around to the alley in the back of the club. At first she didn't see anything then she noticed the guy there. She ran over to him and knelt down near his head where bite marks showed on his neck. Alex placed two hands on his neck and pulled the bloody fingers up to her nose. She sniffed it and frowned. She had gotten better at tracking and if she was correct then the guy had been dead for about an hour.

Ewan wrapped his jacket tightly around him and casually walked into the club. Dancing drunks all around. How pleasant. He ignored the awkward staring and snuck to the back, where he picked up two familiar scents. Laurells and Hunters. But there was one more scent. He busted through the back door and found Alex there, kneeling next to a dead guy. "Their scents are inside too. They have him. Who's that?" he asked, nodding his head toward the corpse.

Alex had turned the guy onto his back and her eyes widened. "It's Jake....he's in some of my classes." Seeing Jake like that stunned Alex. She knew him, she had talked to him a lot, especially when they got paired up for projects. He was almost always around Samantha. Her head shot around as she remembered that detail, her eyes darted around looking for a sign of Samantha. "Jake was always around Samantha, they could've taken a little snack to go. We have to find them," she said and looked up at Ewan, hoping he would lead them to Laurell.

Ewan nodded and grabbed Alex, throwing her onto his back. Within a few seconds, they were running through the streets of downtown and heading towards the warehouse district. Most of them were abandoned. Of course. Just like last time. Ewan knew exactly where to find them. He hurdled over fences and cars, eventually making it to the front door of the warehouse. He set Alex down on the ground and gripped onto her hand tightly. "Remember.....together and...please stay out of trouble," he begged.
(ok...so they're at the front door. Tomorrow, when sam and laurell are done torturing, tell me so we can have Ewan and Alex come in. I guess.)
