"Organs grew back? Wow Kris, what did they do to you? You still look great," he said smiling sweetly. He looked up to Kris. Thought of her as a mother like figure. She'd always taken care of Ewan and Alex. Hunter even liked her after the Emma thing. "Umm....maybe now isnt the time......plus...I wouldnt want any eavesdroppers to hear the conversation," he growled at the shadows. He suddenly caught the whiff of another vampire. Not Laurell. He was immediatly in a crouching position, hands twisted into talons. "Kris, I think we have unwelcome visitors.....Laurell was trying to trick me...."

Laurell closed her eyes and felt Sam nearby, opening them wide she searched the area around the gravesite... There in the shadows. she smiled as she made her way over to her wrapping her cloak of shadows round her. "Sam" she hissed into the girls ear as she drew near her "What are you doing here" she whispered so soft the air didnt move at all "I told you i was going to recce the area see how the lay of the land is" she turned and looked towards Ewan, knowing full well that he could sense Vamps quicker then anything else. She pushed Sam further back into the shadows and wrapped her cloak round them both making them disappear. "Did Requiem send you" she asked her softly

Kris put a hand on Ewan's shoulder, and held tight. "Ewan don't. She's just observing. Don't do anything today." Her voice was stern, yet soft. A fight wouldn't do anything good for them. Alex would be there in a few and she knew Ewan didn't want her to get involved.
Sam smiled innocently at Laurell. "No. I was wondering alone, and I saw you talking to Ewan. Funny isn't it? How he didn't kill you the second he saw you? What did you tell him, huh? Did you tell him that you loved the dog?" She didn't trust Laurell, she never did, but Requiem seemed to so she said nothing. Now she wanted to see if Laurell would show her the reason she needed.

Ewan looked over at the hand on his shoulder and calmed. He was still glaring daggers in the direction Laurell disappeared in, but atleast he was standing. The growling had stopped, but his nostrils were still flaring. "How do you know Kris? She's been known to back stab. I cant believe I use to trust her. If it wasnt for you and Alex, she'd be dead....well, as dead as a vampire can get." Ewan took a deep breath and finally relaxed. "Maybe I should go inside the church.....I can still smell them and its driving me insane...."

Laurell stared at Sam and shook her head..."I as talking to Ewan yeah.... I am trying to make him belive that im off the good and perfect side" she sighed with disgust "As if i would really join them" she glared at her. Keeping a grip on Sams arm she led them both deeper into the shadows. "As for Hunter yes i had feelings for him... after all he was the first one i tortured when i arrived here... but as for loving him haha" she laughed softly. her eyes flashing dangerously "Requiem wanted us to find out more about the avenging angel that swopped down and stole away Hunters body before we could have fun" she whispered her voice growing softer and softer "Well thats why im here.... but i have to make a show to them dont I" she told Sam

"I was actually referring to the new vampire. I don't trust Laurell one bit, I never did. But I think that going into the church is wise," she said and gently pushed Ewan towards the back of the church. "It will only be a matter of time before she dies and goes to hell. Don't worry. For now, try to think of something else." She paused as they got to the church doors and she opened them for Ewan. "If you need a place to stay, you could stay with me, the vamps don't know where I live," she offered, trying to get Ewan's mind away from Laurell. She thought of Ewan as a friend, a really close friend. He was one of the first person here to befriend her and she appreciated it. After years of loneliness and pain he had helped her.
"I don't believe you. Anyone who has feelings for a dog, wouldn't be evil. Plus I know about the whole sharing blood with Ewan, I did a little snooping and lets just say the slayer shares a little too much with her father." An evil grin spread across Sam's face and she jerked her arm out of Laurell's grasp.

Ewan let out a loud sigh and followed Kris to the back of the church. "Thanks for the offer. I may have to take it. Im staying at Alex's place, but I feel like im...imposing. I feel terrible. Maybe Ill just rent a hotel room. I wouldn't have to bother anyone with my depressing attitude." He walked inside and sat down on the front pew(is that how its spelled? IDK!) "Maybe when I see Alex, she'll talk to Hunter and Emma with me. I dont know if I can do it alone. Alex can usually keep me calm and passive." Ewan glanced over at Kris and smiled. "Your right about Laurell. She's trying something.....I know it. Ill let it go today, but only today."

Laurell glared at Sam as she spoke a small hiss escaping her lips... "yes i shared blood with the dog Ewan... but its been done to my advantage" she growled softly at Sam "If I die, mainly at his hands then he will suffer for it..." she hissed as she wiped her hand on her skirt. She turned back to watch ewan and the girl Kris make their way into the church. "Theres not muchwe can do now" she said softly turning back to Sam... "next time you go snopping Sam id check up on yuor sources before you make accusations." she snarled, she moved away from Sam leaving her in direct sunlight "Now our next task today is just to watch and listen... do you think yu can do that without getting it all mixed up" she snapped spitefully

Sam got out of the sunlight and looked at Laurell, a grin on her face. "Ooh someone's a bit testy. You know if you were innocent, you wouldn't have to prove yourself to me. I know I'm right, I could tell. You should feel lucky that Requiem is too blind to see what I can." With that she disappeared, she wanted to go away from Laurell. She had no assignment, but she would stake out the slayers home, seeing what defenses she had.
"I'm used to depressive attitudes. Until I came here I was depressed. For fifty years your time. Don't worry about it bothering me. If you decide to stay with me, just follow my sent to a set of apartment buildings, you'll find which one is mine. Just don't sneak in in the middle of the night, I don't wear my gloves and I might accidentally....you know." Kris said as she sat down
Alex and her father walked into the church, both wearing black. She hadn't seen Ewan outside so she brought her father into the church to look. Her father was supporting a cast on his arm and a couple of cuts on his face. He had a burn mark on his leg but it wasn't visible through his suit.

Ewan noticed Alex's scent and turned around. He shot up and rushed to their side. "Sir, are you alright?" Worry covered his face. He examined Alex's father and shook his head in disbelief. "It was the vampires, right?" Ewan motioned Kris to come over. He wanted her opinion on this. "I promise sir, they'll pay. Whoever's hurt you will pay. Ive got a very long hitlist now....."

Laurell shook her head as Sam disappeared into the shadows, she closed her eyes noticing that the girls scent had faded... laurell didn't trust Sam, the girl was to new to be anything but pure evil. With a sigh she turned away from the shadows and wrapped her cloak tightly round her.. she could hear voices coming from inside the church and slowly made her way over. Laurell couldnt enter a holy place such as the church itself so she lingered outside by Hunters grave. "Talk to me Hunter tell me what i should do to gain his trust back" she whispered at the cold stone. There was no warmth in its inky blackness now just cold... bone cold... the cold of death. with a small sob laurell lay her head against the stone and closed her eyes. she tuned her sense open and felt around... Sams scent was still in the air so she might still be close... but another scent hit her hard making her wince and hiss "The slayer" she hissed softly her true vampire feelings taking over for a second. "I promised Hunter i wouldn't harm either Ewan or the slayer but.." she spoke softly to herself

"Actually, it was just a girl. She came to my work and locked the door. Next thing I know she has a knife to my throat. She asked me questions, when I didn't answer she used force. What an angry little girl." Mr Cramer said. He couldn't believe that a girl could be that cruel. She was only fifteen or so but the anger in her eyes was frightening. Not once had she changed to show any horrible fangs. If it was a vampire surely she would of used more persuasive methods.
Alex frowned as her dad spoke and she turned away from her father and Ewan. She wasn't sure. From her dad's description of the girl, it could've been half of the girls in her school and if the girl hadn't turned into a vampire then Alex wasn't sure if it was Sam or not. The thought that this girl could strike again worried her. What girl would want to hurt her father? All she had asked was about hybrids, and how they came to be. It could've been a physco girl wanting to know about ritual stuff.
Kris walked over, listening to what Mr. Cramer said. She believed that it was Sam, she had no doubt in her mind. But how could she prove it. He would have to have extra protection even at work where his protection was the best humans could provide. If Ewan was watching Alex how could he...it hit her. "She's clever.." she whispered just loud enough for Ewan to hear.

Ewan could smell Laurell. Her scent was stronger, meaning that she was closer to the church than before. "She's at his grave," he growled softly. He was about to turn and go after her when he heard what Kris had said. He raised and eyebrow and took a step closer towards her. "What do you mean 'she's clever'? You're talking about Sam right? What has she done that's so clever?" Ewan looked at the faces around him, but rested on one face in peticular. He gave Alex a small smile, and very subtly slipped his hand in hers.

Laurell knelt beside Hunters grave her eyes somewhere off in the distance memories crowding her completely, even though her senses were alert. She focused her thoughts on the here and now and with a sigh rose fluidly and made her way towards the church. She steeled herself against the pain she was sure woud hit her and made her way slowly up the church steps to the door...an invisible barrier stopped her from going further...but at least there was no pain. Laurell wrapped the cloak of shadows closer round her body and stood silently listening to what was being said within the church.

Kris took one look at Mr. Cramer and Alex then pulled Ewan to the side, breaking his grasp on Alex's hand. "She's trying to get to Alex. By creating fear that Alex's dad might get hurt she is trying to get you to cover him. She knows Alex will want you to protect her father instead of her, leaving her without a bodyguard, and as a result, exposed. With Hunter gone there is nobody to protect both of them. I only have speed and teleportation, my strength is hardly above human strength. I'm basically useless.." The words were harsh towards her but it was how she felt.
Alex frowned and looked up at her dad. "I'm going outside to see his grave, okay?" She asked and sighed with relief when her father nodded. She walked to the back of the church and opened up the back door to see Laurell. Anger rose inside her. "What the hell are you doing here?!" she snapped.
