Laurell lowrered her head at his words trying to keep her mind on the job in hand, she looked over her shoulder and sighed "Yeah a Slayer, The chosen one" she sighed unhappily, "Didnt want the damn job and there was only one way out... Die" she seemed to foget that Ewan was there as she sat back on her heels her eyes distant as she remembered her past "Die yeah thats a good one... then some other poor sap gets called, a never ending cricle." Laurell lowered her head and drew a rough circle in the dirt of the cave. With a larger sigh she seemed to remember Ewan and turned to him smiling gently as she bathed his forehead and cheeks with the wet cloth, squeezing the water from it onto his lips so that it trickled into his mouth. "thought i could stop the circle, thought i could end the next girls suffering... but i failed." she spoke not to Ewan but to herself.

The water felt amazing slidding down his throat, but it didnt quench the thirst. Still, it was nice. "Yes, its a torturous cycle. Never ends either. One dies, another comes. No slayers lived long enough to have a full and prosporous life." He didnt wanna bring up Alex in the conversation because he knew that Laurell didnt care too much for her. He wanted the stupid transformation to hurry up and be over with so he could go see her. His wounds were already looking better, but there would always be scars, especially the bite marks from Damien and Laurell. "Im sorry. Slayer life is terrible." He stayed quiet, hoping she'd continue.

Laurell looked at him and shook her head "You dont get it... no one ever does" she sighed a small smile on her lips "Why do we bother? why have a slayer? its just generational murder of a young teenage girl" she sat back on her heels and wrapped her arms round her knees. "But because shes the slayer they are allowed to get away with it... so i decided to change the mold. You know get myself turned into a vampire maybe because i hadnt effectivly died i would have been able to stop the cycle but no its didnt work" she sighed and picked up the cloth again "Anyway im here a vampire with a past" she giggled as she pressed the cloth against his forehead again and wiped it down his neck and arms. "How are you feeling" she asked him softly

"Eh, little better. The cloth's helping. My temperature just keeps going up. But forget about me....your the one with an interesting story. So...let me get this straight. You were in the line of slayers and you became a vampire to try and end the cycle. But it didnt work because when your a vampire you're kinda dead. So now, your stuck here as a vampire, whose just trying to live life day by day. Correct?" he took a deep breath and smiled. "Thats much better than my story. I walk in the woods, get attacked and now im here. Im still here....alive...because of you."

Laurell looked down at him as he spoke. "My story aint that interesting but yeah basically.. I dont like killing people but hey i gotta live somehow" she mumbled as she re-wet the cloth and wiped his arms and neck with it, already the wound she had made on his neck was healing, laurell wished she could say the same for her chest, it still stung like hell when she moved, but thank god she didnt need to breathe. She looked at the wall opposite and sighed softly "anyway its someything i have come to terms with, its been 186 years" she half giggled and shook her head. before looking down at Ewan, his eyes had changed slightly and his skin seemed to be writhing beneath her hands. "You sure your ok" she asked him

Ewan nodded, but felt quiet the opposite of ok. A small, sharp pain started building in his chest and it was spreading. It wasnt too bad yet, so he kept quiet about it. He felt exhausted and of course, boiling hot. The water from the cloth was evaporating from his skin in seconds.
Hunter was, at that very moment, speaking with Alex's dad about a new town defensive team made up of 'good' creatures. Hunter was sure he could find some. Ewan tried to keep their conversation going, hoping that this would distract him from the heat and pain. "186 years huh? So you're an old lady?" he said, managing a small chuckle.

Laurell grinned and nodded "Yep and starting right now to feel every single year of that old age" she whispered as she ran her hand over the wound that was still closing on her chest, she re wet the cloth noticing at how qyuick his skin was causing it to dry out and returned to wiping down his forehead arms and neck. "You know i seen some changes before but not one like this, you sure it went ok" she asked him worridly as she ran her fingers over his sticky feverish skin, he felt like he was on fire and the strange movements coming from his flesh were kinda scaring her. she tried wetting Ewans lips with the cloth squeezing a few drops into his mouth. this didnt look good

Ewan was about to answer when the pain increased exponentially and he screamed to the top of his lungs. His body twisted on the ground, unable to keep still any longer. 'Did Hunter have to go through this, or is it just me and my luck?' he thought. His wounds had all healed quite well, but the scars stayed. Maybe he was close to the last stage of the transformation. "Stop it! Stop the pain!" he shouted, hoping laurell could do something.
Hunter was on his way back, when he caught a wiff of a new vampire in town. As town protector, he had to go check it out. "Im sure Laurells got everything under control"
(Dont worry, its not like Twilight. Hes not gonna be in pain for three days. And hour maximum. )

Laurell watched as Ewan seemed to be taken over by pain and she shook her head slowly backing away. "What should i do" she asked him softly his body seemed to have a life of its own. she backed further away searching the cave entrance for any sign of Hunter unsure what was happening, she had never seen anything like this before. Most transformations she witnessed were human to vamp and they were easy compared to this. Laurell shook her head and just watched

Hunter rushed back as fast as he could. He'd heard the commotion from across town and guessed that it was probably his young apprentice. Entering the cave, he noticed Laurell and the frightened/confused look on her face. He gave her the same look, completely lost on what was happening. "Maybe its a new strand of the hybrid DNA. Maybe this is just the way the transformation works nowadays. I always knew he'd be stronger than me." He knelt down next to Ewan and held his body firmly in place. Ewan was already losing his voice from all the screaming. The pain was still intense but not as much as before. He was panting and every once in a while he'd let out a moan of pain, but he seemed a little better. Sweat covered his entire body and the circles under his eyes were even more prominent. When Ewan was finally still, Hunter let go and walked over to where Laurell was. "Well, im not sure if its over, but I would think that that was the climax of the transformation. You ok?" he asked her.

Laurell stood in shock as ewan writhed on the ground, she didnt register Hunter until he had spoken, In silence laurell watched as Hunter held Ewan still until he quieted, "I have never seen one like that" she whispered softly looking at the now still body of Ewan. "He was fine" she muttered as she slowly approached Hunter. a confused looks crossed her face as she studied Ewan before turning as Hunter spoke "Ummm yeah think so" she mumbled before kneeling down beside Ewan and picking up the wet cloth to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "You dont think it was something i did do you?" she asked him uncertain,if Hunter thought she had done something to Ewan then her life would end now

Hunter looked at her with narrow eyes for a moment and then smiled. "No, I dont think it was you. Even if it was, im sure it wasnt intentional. If anything, it might've been your blood, but I even doubt that. I dont think you'd hurt him Laurell. Thats why I trusted you to stay here with him. About his transformation, im not sure why it was so painful for him. Maybe its just a rare occasion. I really dont know." Ewan tried to keep his eyes open, but darkness started to take him. His panting calmed a bit and he feel into a deep sleep. His temperature was going down slowly and his heart rate returned to normal. Hunter leaned against the cave wall and watched Laurell carefully. "You do know that he'll always look up to you now. If you betray him and try to hurt his loved ones, he'll die. Maybe literally.....can you take that responsibility?"

Laurell stayed knelt beside Ewan still wetting his skin with the cloth, as Hunter spoke, she watched ewans eyes flutter slightly and smiled, he would be fine now. She looked up at Hunter as he spoke and nodded "It could be the fact that i have slayer blood and vampire blood in me" she whispered before meeting hunters eyes "I dont know Hunter i mean he doesnt seem to understand that i need blood to stay alive, I aint really as evil as people think i am i just.... I dont know what comes over me" she breathed her voice so soft that she wasnt sure if hunter heard her.

Hunter sat down next to Laurell, a smile plastered on his face. He'd never really seen this side of Laurell. Maybe it was because he never wanted too. Until now.... He looked down on the young man and thought about the transformation symptoms. It didnt make any sense at all. "You've done a great kindness here. I thank you for all you've done," he said softly.
Ewan mumbled something in his sleep, making Hunter chuckle. "So, what are you gonna do after this?"

Laurell shifted over slightly feeling slightly uncomfortable being close to Hunter, but she smiled at his words. her hands worked quickly to soothe Ewans cooling skin her eyes stayed fixed on Ewans face so that she didnt have to look at hunter to closely, she hadnt ever had him be this nice to her. she looked up as he spoke and shrugged slightly. "Not sure" she mumbled as she ran the damp cloth over Ewans lips wetting them. "I gotta eat to live and i gotta kill to eat, so its a kinda lose lose situation" she sighed as she looked up at Hunter "And its no good you telling me to use the pigs blood from the butchers ewww it tastes like sewers" she giggled slightly.
