Hunter shook his head, still smiling. "Dont worry Laurell, I understand. Look, you can eat humans, thats fine. Eat them to survive though. Dont waste them. Sleepy Hollows population isnt that large. And please, dont touch the slayer. He cares about her very much. If you dont turn into a satanic vampire, im sure I can convince Alex to leave you alone. Deals can be made."
Ewan started to stirr, and his eyes slowly opened. He couldnt stay asleep for long. The sharp pains were still there, just not as strong. He saw Laurell first, and gave her a small smile. Then he saw Hunter. "Hello master," he mumbled.

Laurell nodded at Hunters words, she never killed for sport only food, but he wasnt to know that everyone thought laurell was just a heartless killer. with a small sigh she looked up at Hunter "yeah ok but i dont make deals with those who do the councils dirty work" she muttered, knowing full well that when the time came deal or no deal Alex, or the next slayer would hunt her down and try to kill her, She forced a smile on her face and sat back on her heels looking down at Ewan she noticed his eyes opening and smiled at him quickly before moving away slightly so that he could talk with Hunter. She heard his words and rose to her feet to move nearer the cave entrance. Trust had to be earnt in this town and well right now her levels were very low

Hunter wasnt the one Ewan wanted to talk to. Laurell had been the one that saved him. She'd stayed with him through all of the pain and he was starting to count her as a friend. It pained him to see her walk away. "Where are you going?" he asked, his voice cracking. Hunter sat back on his hands and enjoyed the cool breeze that was flowing through the cave. He'd stay in the cave with Ewan over night and in the morning, they'd visit Alex.

Laurell stopped in her tracks at Ewans question and looked over her shoulder at him, "No where" she sighed resigned to stay "Was just getting some air" she whispered watching Ewan warily, Laurell slowly edged her way round the cave keeping the wall to her back as she watched both the hybrids, "Look I cant be what im not ok" she blurted at them both "So dont go expecting me to be all sweetness and light" her voice lowered as she realised what she had just said and she hung her head so that her hair covered her eyes and peered at them both through it. "all im saying is i cant change that much" she whispered

Ewan and Hunter were a little shocked. Hunter was actually speechless. It was Ewan who broke the awkward silence. "We dont want you to change. You're fine just the way you are." Ewan understood that Laurell had to kill to eat and he understood that she'd made some mistakes in the past. It didnt mean she was a bad person. She'd proved that to Ewan in the cave. She could be caring and friendly.

Laurell blushed slightly at ewans words, "It just felt like you did" she whispered as she sat back down with her back to the cave wall. she watched Ewan and hunter closely before speaking again. "I cant help the way i am its kill or be killed when your like me" she sighed looking at them both, she had lived a very hard life always on the run from slayers and others who wished her dead... never making many freinds only the ones who would kill and torture like she did. laurell pushed her hair back from her eyes and stared at the two guys. "Why do you what to be so nice to me?" she asked

Hunter sighed and turned his head towards Ewan,signaling for him to answer the question. Ewan couldnt help but chuckle (and cough a little). "I dont think you understand how grateful I am that you were here to talk to me and help me. Oh and dont worry.....I just recently tasted human flesh and im having a little trouble getting over it. I dont think i'll be able to. Hunter said I can eat some of the prisoners in jail. They deserve death anyway. You're my friend Laurell. Id jump infront of a bullet for you any day. Well, it'd actually be a steak for you, but ah well." Ewan finally ended when his voice box gave out. He coughed and leaned his head back, knowing that the more he opened his mouth, the more energy and strength he lost. Talking takes a lot out of ya. Hunter smiled at Laurell and got up. "Ill go get some food for us, how about that? Ive got a deal with the prison guard," he said smirking.

Laurel sat and listened to Ewans speech its kinda made sense to her, but the sudden change of heart was a bit worrying she smiled at Hunter as he rose to grab a bite to eat, "Not for me hunter Prison food doesnt agree with me" she giggled she moved closer to Ewan with a smile "Dont worry about laughing boy here ill make sure he's ok" she whispered as she picked at her nails, the movement of her arm across her chest made her wince slightly and she clamped that arm tightly against her body be3fore looking up at Ewan. "You would really take a stake for me?" she asked in wonder "Even if it was your girlfriend on the other end" she put the trick question to him trying his trust out

Ewan thought about it for a moment and then smiled. "Of course I would. Plus, Alex wouldnt hurt you unless you did something terrible like kill a loved one. Which you wouldnt...."
Hunter left the cave and visited the town jail. He looked through the selection of prisoners, sniffing each one, trying to find some good meat.
Ewan used all he had to sit up and leaned his back against the cool rock walls of the cave. "Feels....so good. Im glad its over." He noticed her gripping her chest and frowned. "Is everything alright?"

Laurell wondered how much of what Ewan said would actually happen but she didnt question it, she didnt want to push her luck to far. "Oh well thats good to know" she mumbled "now i just gotta find out who her loved ones are" she giggled slightly before clamping the arm tighter in place. Genly she helped Ewan sit up against the wall "You strong enough for this" she asked him slightly out of breath, as she settled him back and placed her rolled up jacket behind his head, she lent her head back against the wall as she heard his question. with a small sarcastic smile on her lips she looked at Ewan "You mean apart from the gaping hole in my chest that lover girl stuck there or including that" she blurted before her mind could stop her. She lowered her head blushing furiously "Sorry didnt mean it to come out that way, its just pain and all that" she offered as a way of apology. Laurell looked down at her arm clamped tightly across her chest before shrugging slightly "I suppose it will heal it just doesnt seem to want to" she said tryingt o make light of it

Ewan tried to ignore her slayer comments and turned the conversation back to her wounds. "Well, just take it easy for a few days. Weeks actually. You could try using some of the medical supplies from the hospital. They wont let you in, but you could just take em. I steal their blood all the time." Ewan was feeling much better. Still weak, but not in pain as much as he was before. "Im sorry about your injuries. But you shouldnt have attacked her...."

Laurell looked at Ewan and sighed softly "Yeah well i'll heal I always do" she saif as she lent forwards and drew shapes on the dirt floor with her finger, She knew that no matter what was said or who ever had started it, the blame would always fall on her shoulders. Laurell sighed as she drew a cross on the dirt and placed her palm against it. With her eyes closed she controled her breathing forcing the pain away from her. Feeling slightly better she straightened up and stared straight ahead of her. "I might have sliced her cheek and arm but that was all superfilciale, i didnt go out to the field tonight looking for a fight, i was performing a moment of worship," she grumbled as she forced herself to stand up, trying and failing to keep her anger in check. "I wasnt the one who turned up with a Stake in hand... A STAKE EWAN that means that your precious was hunting Vampires and ummm hello im a vampire" She stormed about the cave kicking out at anything in her way. "Yeah so i played with her a bit, i wasnt gonna kill her but no if she had got her chance she would have destroyed me, Twice she staked me, she broke my wrist and then she shot at me at close range with a silver bullet, so yeah Ewan maybe I was trying to kill her, but not as hard as SHE was trying to kill ME" she punched out at the wall, knowing full well that Ewan would see it yet again from Alex's side. with a huge sigh she sank to the floor near the cave entrance "I dont know why i bother trying to explain or be nice to anyone... coz all they see is a killer" she mumbled before covering her eyes with her hands so Ewan couldnt see the tears of anger and pain that had sprung there

Ewan was a bit taken back by her outburst. "Ummm......look, I dont think of you as a killer. I think of you as a really nice, wonderful vampire who is also my savior. Stop being so negative. Please...." Ewan gripped the cave wall and pulled himself into a standing position. It took a few tries, but he eventually managed to stand. He winced, feeling a sharp pain, but it ended quickly. He hobbled over to Laurell, keeping a firm grip on the wall and fell down next to her. "Im sorry if ive offended you. I just want you to get along with Alex. She wont hurt you if you prove yourself to be.....a good guy.....umm girl."

Laurell looked at Ewan as he flopped down beside her, her eyes held definace and pain, "She wont ever stop hunting me Ewan, thats her job" she muttered resignedly her eyes clouding slightly. Laurell lowered her head so her hair covered her face before she spoke again "It doesn't matter if you like me or if I am your saviour, she will only see me as a Vampire... the scum of the undead." Laurell wrapped her arms gently round her chest covering the wound before continuing, "Slayer and Vampire can never be freinds, thats the way it is. Yeah me and you are kinda friends now but she wont accept that, and in the end she will turn you against me, just like Emma did with hunter" laurell whispered the last so quietly that the words hardly crossed her lips. "But dont worry i wont be attacking her unless she attacks me Ewan, I will make you that promise" she said lifting her pained eyes to his and forcing a smile to her lips

Ewan returned the smile and rested a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Good. SHe wont attack you. I know Alex and shes not a bad person. She looks at people from the inside. Their personalities. I mean, she seems to trust me and im a werewolf. A werewolf who's having a little trouble controlling his hunger. I could kill her at any moment, but she trusts me. Im sure if you show her who you really are, she'll accept it and befriend you," Ewan lifted her hand from her chest and looked at the wound. "Its really bothering you isnt it? Maybe you should go to the hospital. Just pretend to be a human and get a diagnosis....or supplies."
