Alex needed a change of venue. She had been going around town for the past couple of weeks and for some reason it was quieter then normal. Damien hadn't been spotted for a week, he hadn't even killed since then. Kyle could be seen walking around but hadn't done anything except collect the departed spirits. The vampires were even keeping their killing on the low. It all unnerved Alex.
She had been trying to talk Ewan out of going after Damien and Kyle. He seemed to be set on going after all the bad guys lately. Alex was thinking a bit more pratical. There were only two of them. Hunter had left a month ago and hadn't been heard from since. Kris was taken, Ryan was dead, who else was there? The bad guys outnumbered the good. How could they ever win?
Nothing seemed to be happening in the feild either, making Alex's anxiety increase slightly. Lately, little had been making sense to her. This was just adding on. Ewan had told her how Teagan wasn't good and had taking a snap at him. They were loosing the few good guys they had.

Laurell sat silently, her back against a large tree its branches overhanging the field, hiding her from view. Her eyes were cast down at the knife she held in her hands, the dim light glinting of the sharpness of it blade, its handle slick with red sticky blood, Laurell smiled as she reached down to the mishappen blood soaked heart, relishing in its slowly ebbing warmth, she run one finger along it before plungin the nail deep into the muscle. With a sigh she closed her eyes and softly began chanting... adeo mihi oh procer of barathrum , rector meus manus manus huic res tonight. aide vestri humilis vernula Laurell ut ego pessum do havoc in is universitas. ((english.. come to me oh prince of the underworld, guide my hand in this deed tonight. aide your humble servant Laurell as i wreck havoc on this world.)) she felt the wind stir around her and slowly opened her eyes a small smile on her lips. She peered out through the drooping branches of the tree spotting the Slayer strolling towards her hiding spot...a small growl left laurells lips as she slipped further back into the shadows.

Alex's head snapped around, hearing a distant noise sort of like a growl, but when she looked around she was alone. She wasn't thrilled about having to patrol, expecially after the death of her watcher. The noise died and after a minute or two of complete silence, Alex continued to walk. It was one thing for all the monsters to go into a sudden hiding but it was really odd how she couldn't find Ewan at all. She had been looking since early in the morning, usually he was at her house ready to follow her around for the day. It gave her an odd sense of abandonment.
The eerie silence was making her more aware of her surroundings but also more frightened. Every time the wind blew against the grass, making a swooshing sound, chills would run up Alex's back. This wasn't what a fifteen year old should be doing. Half of her friends were going to the school dance, something which seemed like another world to Alex.

Laurell slunk further back into the shadows her hand intinctively grabbing hold of the heart and squeezing it, she whispered softly into the wind, "watching you!" the whisper sighed softly in the breeze. laurell clamped her bloody hand over her mouth to stifle a giggle that threatened to erupt. her eyes glowing softly in the shadows she shook her head as she whispered again keeping her voice low and soft "beware slayer!" the whisper hissed through her teeth as floated off into the darkness like the wind through the trees.

Alex jumped and little at the mysterious whisperes. "Get a grip Alex, you're the slayer for god's sake!" She scolded herself. She had been training for weeks, she had killed many vampires and demons, so why was she so afraid? She took a coupld of deep breaths, letting them out slowly. "Who's there?!" She snapped, her voice carrying in the breeze. In her pocket was a steak, which she pulled out and gripped in her hand. Even if it wasn't a vampire, a wooden steak through the body would at least injure it for a little while.

Laurell giggled softly her voice carrying slightly on the breeze. she squnited her eyes shut hoping that the slayer didnt hear it before slowly and carefully turning in the grass to face the tree. with a sudden burst of speed Laurell wove her way snake like up the tree and disappeared into the branches... "mmm a tassssty slayer" she whispered making her voice sigh along with the breeze. she sat back in the branch and watched the slayer grip tightly to a stake. Laurell grinned and ran her tongue along her fangs feeling them grow in her gums. "Ohhh slayer" she sang softly watching as Alex drew ever closer.

"No! Get away from there Alex!" a familiar voice shouted from a distance. Within seconds, Ewan was by Alex's side, gripping her arm and pulling her back. "Dont be foolish. You're falling into a trap. Im so glad I found you..." he said softly, moving his hand from her upper arm to her hand. "Sorry ive been gone. I got caught up with some.....vampire punks. Took me a while to beat em." Ewan wasnt telling her the whole truth. Sure, he'd fought off some young, obnoxious vampires, but he was also battling the urge inside him to eat human flesh. He'd been trying to control it.
"Come on Alex....its not safe. Somethings going on with this town. Its too quiet."

Alex jumped, Ewan scared her. "I know full well that there is someone out there. I'm a slayer Ewan, I can't just walk away whether the monsters are planning something or not." She was glad that she wasn't the only one noticing how quiet it was. It was obviously disturbing Ewan too, that was something for concern.
"You want a shot at her don't you?" A low voice came from behind Laurell. Damien had crept up behind her after sniffing his way to her hiding spot. He had spotted the slayer alone and was going to go in for the kill but the voices made him curious as to who else was hidden that wanted Alex dead. "She tastes better then she looks. Her blood will make you stronger then you've ever dreamed." He whispered low enough so the wind didn't pick it up.

laurell snarled softly as she saw that interferring busy body Ewan stride towards the slayer, she shook her head slightly 'First hunter and now this one whats a girl gotta do for fun round here' she thought angrily. The voice behind hermade her jump slightly and she spun to snarl at The guy behind her befor turning her attention back to the slayer. "I dont need her blood to make me strong.. considering i was one like her i think i got that area pretty much covered" she growled low in her throat. She turned and offered the guy a sweet smile her eyes shining slightly from under her fringe. "but then again it could be fun" she whispered before supping her hands round her mouth and breathing "Ohhh slayer your blood will fill my veins with heat and power"... the sound carried like a breeze through the trees as laurell grinned at the guy and offered her hand "I'm Laurell and you are?" she breathed gently

Ewan glared at the surrounding trees and a growl started to build up in his chest. He wrapped an arm around Alex's waist and pulled her closer. The voices were making him nervous. He knew something was up, and it wasnt going to be pretty. "Alex.....almost the entire town wants you dead and I think.....tonight is the night that they're going to strike. They've been too quiet and too good. I have a feeling they've been saving their hunger for this night. They want to taste you," he said in a disgusted tone. "I think we're outnumbered" he mumbled.
Ewan sniffed the air and noticed two familiar scents. Laurell, the vampire he'd met with Hunter and of course, Damien. They werent the only two coming. "No matter what happens, I will do whatever it takes to protect you." By this little statement, Ewan meant that he'd risk his life and even die for her. "I will get you out of here alive."

"Don't be mental. We're outnumbered and we always will be. With Hunter and Kris gone it just damaged our numbers greatly. You promised me that if I died you would keep fighting. You will not die to save me. There will be plenty more slayers, but there won't always be good werewolves to help those slayers." Alex replied sternly. Ewan did have a point about the night. She knew that they were going to strike and when they did it would be an all out war, though in her mind it would be a short war.
Damien grinned and shook Laurell's hand. "Damien. How about this. I will distract Ewan while you have your little fun with the slayer? Sound good? I've been dieing for some payback with that prick." He whispered. A low growl escaped his throat as he watched Ewan, waiting for Laurell's okay. He had been saving his hunger for this.

Laurell raised her eyebrows at Damiens words a sly smile spreading on her lips. "That could work" she said watching the slayer and her so called protector from the corner of her eye. "I would love to mess with her mind" she mused softly as she fluttered her eyelashes at Damien. "Ok lets see how much fun a sweet Vampire and a cute Werewolf can have before the sun comes up" she grinned as she slipped from the branch of the tree and in a blink of an eye had moved to a tree closer to the two.

Ewan had noticed the quick movement in the trees and recognized the scent as laurell. "They're getting ready.....please promise me that you wont do anything brave. Ill keep my promise to you, but I dont think id be able to concentrate on fighting if something happened to you. Be careful. Dont be afraid to call for help if you need me alright?" Ewan realized that something terrible could happen in the next 15 minutes and it may be the last time he'd see Alex. He pulled her close and kissed her passionately. He didnt know if she'd approve, but it was the only chance he had to say goodbye. He pulled back and glanced around, his arm still around her waist. "We'll do this together alright?"

Alex was surprised by the kiss but managed to kiss him back before he pulled away. For some reason some of the fear that was building up inside her vanished. It was a good feeling that was replaced. She nodded at Ewan, ready to fight, though she wished she knew where they were coming from. "Together." She agreed.
Damien croutched down low and moved his way slowly into the opposite direction that Laurell had went. He was going to attack Ewan from behind. He knew that sudden movements would spark Ewan's attention, that's why he was moving slowly. Once he was around back he ran at Ewan, transforming as he picked up speed. He lunged at Ewan, clamping his large mouth around Ewan's shoulder, flinging him to the ground. His teeth sank further and furth into Ewan's shoulder as he got a better hold on him.

"Slayer" laurell hissed as she moved swiftly round the girl, her voice was low and dangerous... she flicked out her fingernail as she drew closer to the girl and at lightening speed sliced her cheek before disappearing again into a blur of movement, She kept up the fast movement never settling in one spot for more then a couple of seconds. she licked at the slayers blood ojn her nail before darting in again to pull at her hair, yanking it hard before retreating into a blur again "Ohhhh come on slayer... Try" she hissed as she continued to move around her, she could see Damien having a great time with Ewan behind them and knew she would have to keep the slayer busy for a while longer. With a smile she flicked her knife out as she drew close to her again slicing along the girls arm before blurring into the night.
