"You're infuriating! Im trying to help you! Im trying to tell you that I think im falling in love with you, geez!" Ewan stepped away from her and took a deep breath. "Youve got it all wrong. Take what you just said and reverse it. Im afraid that im going be so......I just think that ill turn into Hunter. Im afraid that ill be the death of you. Kris and Hunter agree. I didnt want to stop talking to you, but it was the only way. I mean, Hunter's fallen for two slayers in a row and both have died gruesome deaths. Maybe if I didnt get involved with you, you'd be safe." He took a short pause and continued, hoping he was getting the point across. "But maybe leaving you without a guard wasnt the best idea. Imagine what would've happened if I didnt meet our new friend here, first." He took another step back and found it even more difficult to look her in the face. "Im sorry. I thought I was helping. I hated the idea at first and its been terrible, but they'd made a good point. As long as it keeps you safe. I didnt think it would affect you....that much...." Ewan tried to ignore the look Damien's face. 'Oh he is enjoying this'

"You thought that ignoring me would keep me safe? Are you out of your mind?! In case you haven't noticed I'm the slayer! No matter what you do or where you go, monsters are still going to come after me! Kris and Hunter are stupid if they think that! I have a price on my head for probably every creature out there and they aren't going to stop until I'm dead! You ignoring me just made it all worse." Her anger was fading slightly, being replaced by hurt. She turned to Damien and sighed.
"I'm sorry. Seeing as you are capable of seeing yourself home, would you mind? I'll talk to you tomorrow. I could show you around or something." She offered. She still wasn't buying that Damien was bad. He was being perfectly logical and he would've attacked them if he was bad right?
Damien smiled and nodded. "Tomorrow then. I'll be looking foward to seeing you two. Hope it all works out." He said, sounding sincere. He turned and started to walk out of the forest. He was about a foot from the forest entrance when someone walked in front of him, blocking his way out. There was an overpowering sent to the person, a girl from the looks of the shadow.
"So you're the one leaving bodies all around town for me aren't you?" Kris said, smiling.
Damien looked at Kris as she stepped into the moonlight. "That depends who wants to know?" He asked, slyly. He grinned, looking her up and down. He could tell that she wasn't human. She was too gorgeous, and a cold vibe seemed to seep off her. Not to mention the smell.

"Well, Im sorry Ive ruined your week. It wasnt my intention. I understand that you're the slayer. I also understand that you are automatically a danger and trouble magnet in one and that no matter what I do, trouble is still going to come. I get it, but......nevermind." Ewan happened to notice Kris and Damien in the distance. 'Hmmm....Kris'll take care of it im sure,' he thought. Ignoring Damien's last 'sincere' comments, he continued his conversation with Alex. "You think its stupid, but thats just because you dont like being ignored. There's no way you feel the same way about me that I do about you. From the moment I caught your scent, I knew that I couldnt resist you. Ive tried. But its not just your smell that attracts me....." he gave a small smirk but replaced it with a frown. "Seriously, im no good for you. Although, I do miss our patrols together. Ugh what am I saying? This is ridiculous."

Alex looked at him and shook her head. "You're wrong. You think I've been all happy and dandy since you started to avoid me? You were the one person who knew my secret and didn't want to kill me; who I could actually spend time with more then once a week. I get sick of not seeing my friends, not being about to tell them who I am. You have no idea how lonely it gets. You don't have to go on patrol. You don't have to fight against every evil monster in this town. You could be a normal kid. You're right, I don't like being ignored, expecially by the one person I thought I could trust to always be there." She turned around and muttered 'whatever', then started to leave.
"I'm the one and only Death, though I preferr if you call me Kris," Kris replied.
Damien laughed. "You? Death? Oh come on, you could come up with something much better then that. I swear I could make an exception to my no dating vampire's rule." He grinned, a seductive grin, which made Kris snicker.
Kris pulled off her glove and grabbed a bunny in mid hop. It imediately stopped jumping and fell limp in her hand. She hated to do that, but how else could she prove it? She dropped the bunny and replaced her glove. She smiled when she looked up to see a shocked look on Damien's face. "Don't worry, I have strict orders against killing you. But I would preferr if you refrained from killing the innocent, it annoys me."

Ewan grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him. "Im sorry. I made a mistake. A mistake that I thought would help you. I was wrong, obviously and im sorry. If you can forgive me, Id like to be your.....your friend again." He'd do whatever he could to make it up to her. "If you accept my apology, id like to help you with our new friend. He cant be trusted. He doesnt have a very good energy about him. Ill ask Kris about it later...." he mumbled. He let go of her hand and took a step back. "So....what'd you say?"

"Alright, I'll give you another chance." Alex replied after a little hesitation. She was forgiving, expecially to Ewan since she liked him. She felt safe around him. Though right now he would have to win back her trust. "And why do you trust Kris so much? She was wrong wasn't she? You are starting to act as if she's like...god or some almight power." Kris hadn't told Alex that she was Death so Alex had no idea what was so special about her.
"So why are you here? Want to see how it feels to be with a werewolf? I can assure you I'm quite fiesty." Damien said with a seductive growl.
Kris rolled her eyes, shaking her head slightly. "In your dreams. I was just here to deliver a message. My...boss would like a word with you tomorrow after your, schooling. I guess I'll see you there."
"Oh I bet you will."
Kris sighed and disappeared with a faint pop. She had the power of teleportation so she could get to the bodies quicker.

Ewan smiled and enveloped her in a hug. He eventually pulled away and answered her question. "Kris didnt tell you yet? I would've thought that you'd be the first one to know......well I dont think she'll mind. If she does, i'll take the blame. She's death silly. All powerful Death. You know? She's helped me so far. Especially with the cranky Hunter." He grabbed her hand and guided her towards the edge of the forest where Damien was. "I will gain your trust back. I will. Thanks for giving me another chance. I still think you'd be better off without me though...."

Alex stopped in her tracks when she heard Ewan. "Death?! Are you sure? What if she's evil? I mean Damien seems nice but you're convinced he's bad. What if she's just tricking us and working with the devil?" She was worried, really worried. She expected death to be a guy wrapped in a large black cloak who would enjoy to kill people. Could it really be that death could be nice?
Kris appeared in a dark house and looked towards the doorway. "I delivered the message, sir," She stated and bowed to the dark figure that stood in the doorway. She slowly brought herself back into a standing postion and waited for further instructions.
"Good. You've done well Kris. I appreciate all the loyal service you have given me in the past," The figure said. The guy stepped out into the small space of light coming from the window. It was Ryan. He had an evil smirk on his face as he looked at Kris.

Ewan stood by her side and squeezed her hand reassuringly. "Look, I trust her more than i'd trust this Damien guy. He's not like me Alex. I cant tell. He doesnt go through the precautions I do. I struggle living on blood packets from the hospital and a rabbit or two. This guy wouldnt put up with that. He probably eats humans. This is the kind of werewolf that we need to get rid of. As for Kris, I still think that she doesnt act like Death. There's probably something that we're missing. Im sure we'll know soon enough." Ewan pulled her along and guided her to the other exit, where Damien wasnt. "So, you dont trust me? You know id never dream of hurting you," he said smiling sweetly.

"It's not that I don't trust you to not hurt me. I don't think you would hurt me, even from the first time I met you. It's your judgement I don't trust right now. You've known me about two weeks and you're already trying to tell me what's best for me. You don't trust Damien when he hasn't done anything wrong to us so far, and you trust death. Yes she doesn't act like death but that's what it could be, an act." Alex was iffy about Kris now, she would probably try to avoid her.
Ryan walked over to Kris and cupped her head in his hands. "I think your loyalty has earned you a reward. Anything you desire! Though there are a few exceptions, and I'm sure you know what they are." He warned.
Kris looked up at Ryan, not really having a chance to look somewhere else. "I know, sir. I will think about it and ask you soon, is that okay?"
"Of course!" He replied and dropped his hands.

"Awww....you trust me not to eat you, how nice," he said sarcastically, a small chuckle slipping through. "You should trust my judgement. Do you trust Ryan's? What has he done thats so trustworthy? Would he go to the ends of the earth for you? No offense, but....I think you put too much faith in him. And I agree with you. I put too much faith in Kris. If you'll believe me and my judgement, I will believe yours completely, alright? We cant have a friendship without trust." A loud howl filled the air. Ewan looked up and rolled his eyes. "Hunter's in a bad mood. Wants me to go back to base." Of course, he really wanted to stay with Alex and get to know her better. He'd really only spent a week at most with her.

Alex stopped, confused and on the verge of getting annoyed. "Woah wait. What are you trying to imply here? Ryan has done a lot to help me. Yeah he's taken away my social life basically but he's done it for a good reason. He wants to keep me alive. I would be dead by now if it wasn't for him. A couple of days ago I got bit. A vampire had caught me offgaurd and bit me. Ryan steaked him before he could do too much damage to me. Ryan has been there for me, even when you weren't. Yeah I put a lot of faith in him because he has shown me I can trust him."

Ewan frowned and tried to control his anger. "Anyone can pretend to care Alex. Im just a bit surprised. So, if we were in a situation where it was my life or Ryans, who would you choose to save? Dont ignore the question. I want an answer. There may come a time when you'll have to make that choice. I want to know if I can count on you." Ya it was harsh and a little rude, but they had to build a strong foundation of trust if they wanted to be friends. "Im sorry if im acting.....cruel, but you are going to have to choose one day. You can think about it if youd like...." Ewan let go of her hand and gave her some space.

"What do you mean I'm going to have to choose? Both of you are on the same side. Ryan doesn't pretend to care, he does. He's shown me that he cares. What's going on with you? Are you trying to make me hate every guy in my life except you? Are you going to tell me next that my father is evil as well?" Alex asked in fustration. She was getting annoyed at Ewan going after Ryan when Ryan didn't do anything. He was so kind and someone she could count on.
"You may leave Kris. I would like you to join me tomorrow for my meeting with Damien, if you don't mind." He asked nicely. He was nice to the people who obeyed him and gave him no reason to hate.
Kris nodded and bowed again. "Yes sir, I'll be there." She replied and walked out.

"Forget it! Ill just walk you back to your house and then we can part. Ryans never done you wrong and I already have. Ive pushed you away for a week because I cared. Its still no excuse is it?" he sighed and started to walk in the direction of her house. "Im wrong. Im always wrong arent I? I listen to my gut and MY WEREWOLF ABILITIES and yet im still always WRONG! Lets just forget I said anything.....until they turn on you," he said mumbling the last part. He stopped and turned around, already 30 feet ahead of her. "Your're done with your patrol tonight. Ill take it from here. Go get to know Damien and Ryan a bit more."
