Laurell fell through her front door sobbing harshly, wondering where the night went wrong, She hadnt meant to hurt anyone least of all Hunter. She dragged herself up off the floor and made her ways to Syphers old study, 'My Room' she silently corrected herself, it felt weird being back in the old place again and she shivered. She headed over to the old lounger and lay herself down on it. The lounger was directly under the window and Laurell didnt bother with the drapes. she threw and arm over her eyes and thought back to what might have gone wrong tonight. One she shouldnt have attacked Ewan. But lately whenever she saw him hatred ran through her veins like hot blood, she didnt know why but it was a feeling she couldnt push to one side. But She hadnt meant to hurt Hunter like she did. with sigh she sat up and looked out the window at the darkened road outside.

Hunter didnt bother knocking, knowing that Laurell wouldnt be too surprised of his prescence. He made his way to an old study room where Laurell's scent was the strongest. THere he saw her looking out the window, with tear stained cheeks. "Laurell, I think we need to talk. The decisions you made tonight were......not very good decisions. You put all of us in danger. Ewan is at the hospital right now trying to stop your friend from killing alex. I left him there Laurell....to come after you. Do you know why?" He took a few steps toward her, his face visible in the moon light. "I came after you because I care about you. We all do. Not only that, but I need to know who you're with. I need to know if I can trust you in the upcoming battle."

Laurell sensed Hunter before he spoke and she readied herself for him onslaught, His words spoken with thought and care touched her heart and she bit her lip to stop herself from crying out loud. her eyes stayed trained on the n ight outside of the windows, Hunters reflection shining softly in them. Laurell couldnt explain why she acted how she did. his words made her turn to look at him as he approached, "I always make the wrong desicions" she whispered head eyes down cast, "but no one see's things from my side Hunter!" she stated acting a little like a spoilt child folding her arms over her chest she lifted her chin so that her eyes met his. Everyone seem to want to protect the slayer... but if it came down to me or her... no one would protect me" she said with a sigh before forcing a smile to her lips. she took a step closer to Hunter. "and yes I know you care Hunter and I care for you, I would protect you till my last." she smiled at him as she reached up to stroke his cheek gently 2You have always shown me patirnce and compassion" she blushed slightly "But im not sure with Ewan... theres something there i cant trust" she stated flatly her voice hollow. "I have visions Hunter... of him urging the stake home at the height of the battle" her eyes misted with tears as she turned her face from him. "But as for where I stand Hunter... then as long as you Care I stand with you" she mumbled her voice harsh and brittle light a frozen leaf.

"Good," he said smiling sweetly. He took her hand from his face and lowered it to her side. It wasnt in an objecting way at all. "Now that we have the whole trust thing out of the way, lets formulate a plan, alright? My adopted son needs me. Needs us. You will help me right? And dont listen to those visions of yours. Ewan wouldnt dream of hurting you. He feels....betrayed that you would try to hurt Alex and side with Requiem. But he'll forgive you. Now would be a perfect time to prove your loyalty to us. Help us save the slayer Laurell." Hunter knew that Alex and Laurell didnt get along, but maybe this would bring them closer together. Maybe he could convince them to be friends....or atleast not kill each other.

Laurell stared into Hunters eyes and half smiled as he spoke, she swung her head round to look out the window. "Sunrise in 1 hour" she said softly a sweet smile on her face. "When the sun comes up Requiem ... if im correct about this... will effectively die again until night fall" she whispered her hand straying to her shoulder and neck, finger tips stroking softly. She spun and smiled eviliy at Hunter. "If you need my help for an hour then I will do what I can... But i am not sure what iI can do" she told him standing taller then ever. With a smile on her face she went over to the tall stack of books on the desk and searched through them for a particular one. "If you need me for any longer then an hour then i belive theres a spell in here that will allow me to walk in the light" she said rushing slightly now a glow flowing from her eyes. Her milky white skin seeming to shimmer with excitement.

"If its a risk, dont take it. No need to get hurt. I may be able to stop Requiem myself. I just have to hurry." Hunter listened carefully for any sign of Ewan outside. Surely if he was in trouble, he'd howl. Hunter wandered over to the stacks of books and raised an eyebrow. "I guess with immortality, you have plenty of time to read all these. Hmm interesting stuff.....Look Laurell, only do what you think is best. I wont guilty you into being our friend. I know how strongly you feel about the slayer being your enemy." Time was running out and they needed a plan.

Laurell looked up at Hunter and open book in her hand, "Found the spell but it doesnt say how long it will allow me to walk in the sunlight." She shook her head slightly as Hunter approached the desk and he started looking through the books. "Look Hunter I would do anything to win back Your trust even if it means putting myself in the way of danger" she spoke strongly and with conviction of her own actions "Yes I like Requiem and he has been the first Vampire in a long time to offer me love and protection. But your Protection has always kinda been there" she lowered her eyes trying to absorb the spell. "Your feelings in this matter mean more to me then anything else right now" she said with a small smile at him. she bit her bottom lips before continuing on with her idea. "We find ewan Alex and Requiem then i will sacrifice myself to requiems anger so that you can get Alex away... just please promise me one thing..... once shes safe you will come back and help me" she said with a small scared smile.

Hunter narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "Id come back for you, but there's no way im agreeing to this plan. There are too many holes. Requiem could do one thing differently and all would be lost. Ewan can take care of Alex. Ill make sure they get out of the building and then i'll stay with you to finish off Requiem. Just promise me that you wont back out. Dont let his words trick you. He doesnt care. He wants you to be his follower and thats it. Dont fall for it Laurell, alright?" Hunter thought about her plan and eventually agreed. "Lets just see what happens." He didnt like this. Not one bit.

Laurell watched the tide of emotions cross over Hunters face as he spoke, "I wont let you down Hunter even if it seems im going against you it will be to keep Requiem off your back until you have ewan and Alex safely away" she spoke softly knowing that this could be the last time she enjoyed his company. "I know its a danger to Alex to rely on the words of a Vampire like me but please believe me when I say I willdo all i can to help you." she smiled at him before picking up her knife and checking its blade for imperfections she knew were not there. With a sigh she opened the lower drawer of the desk and pulled out a bottle of Holy water... Laurell opened it and poured it into a bowl on the desk, using the tips of her fingers she soaked the blade of her knife in the holy water ignoring the burning in her finger tips. With a small nod of satisfaction she smiled and slipped the knife home into her thigh holster. "heres something i never thought id hear myself say Hunter.... but Lets go save the Slayer" she said giggling slightly.

Hunter smiled and grabbed Laurell by the hand. He guided her out of the house and down the street. There were four smells that overpowered all else. Silver, the slayer, Requiem and blood. "Oh no," he mumbled. "We are obviously a little late. THere's still hope....I hope." He let go of Laurell and picked up the pace, jogging down the street towards the park, where the smell was the strongest.
(Next can probably be in the other thread.)
