laurell looked at Ewan as he lay a hand on her shoulder she listened to what he had to say but slowly shook her head at his words, she knew Slayers much better then most people and this one was no different, she smiled at Ewan and stroked the back of his hand with her fingers before shrugging slightly "I will belive it when i see it Ewan" she whispered. His words about going to the hospital made her giggle and she shook her head again. "Me pretend to be human?" she mock gasped "Come on Ewan with this translucent skin and pale eyes i looks as far from human as there is" she laughed softly clasping her hand over the wound again as it twinged. "It will be ok just wood and me well we dont mix to well, takes me a while to recover.... and this wound was deep" she said as she pulled her ruined top closed over the hole. "So Ewan what do we do now?" she asked him

"Im not really sure. I think im suppose to stay here until morning. I dont think I can walk very far anyway. I could test out this hybrid thing. I dont think im ready for it though...."
Hunter came back in with a few candles and a dead man. "He's a baaaaad man. So I didnt feel guilty killing him," he said chuckling. He motioned for Ewan to drink first, wanting his strength to come back as soon as possible. Ewan crawled over and bit down on the guys neck. It was a favorable spot of his to eat and drink from. Always blood flow. It wasn't the best tasting flesh he'd ever had but atleast it was something. Once he'd had his fill of blood and meat, he sat back against the wall and smiled at Laurell. "You want some Laurell?"

laurell leaned back against the wall as Hunter came in with a dead man over his shoulder, the thought of eating something dead made her stomach turn and she closed her eyes against it. hearing the sounds of Ewan feasting. laurell took this time to check on the wound, carefully without either hunter or ewan seeing she opened her top and stared at the gaping hole in her chest, Splinters of wood were embedded in the skin surrounding it and a sickly heat came from the flesh in waves. Laurell jumped as Ewan spoke and clasped her top round her tightly "What? ohhh no thanks dead blood aint good" she murmered "And you need to fill up to get your strength back quicker" she told him with a small sad smile

Ewan chuckled and wiped his mouth. "Dont worry, I didnt see anything. Look, you really need to get that looked at. Find someone who knows what to do, please! Another vampire even. Staring at it isnt going to make it heal faster. Actually, they say that if you stare at a pot of water, it'll never boil. But if you walk away, it'll boil in no time. Scientific fact too!" he said smiling. Hunter ate his fill and then disgarded the body outside. There wasnt much left.

laurell nodded at Ewans words she knew she should get it looked at and she desperately needed help in healing it... but the Vampire population of this town didnt trust her since they all knew her past. she only had teagan and her way of helping sometimes hurt to much to think of. No she would heal She hoped she would anyway. Laurell Shook her head at Ewans suggestion of getting a vampire to help. "No one would help me" she said scornfully, "Im not a slayer... well not anymore, But vampires remember, Im not a werewolf with a pack of friends, Theres just me and teag" she shifted in her spot shuffling her legs under her so that she was curled against the wall. She watched Hunter throw the body out and grinned at him sadly. "I'm just glad i could help out when needed" she whispered before leaning back and closing her eyes. "are you feeling better now Ewan?"

Ewan nodded and leaned his head against the wall, looking up at the ceiling. "Ya, im fine. Thank you Laurell. I probably would've been dead if it wasnt for you." Before he could say anymore, he fell into a deep sleep, overcome by exhaustion. Hunter smiled and sat down on the opposite side of the cave. The sun was almost visible, and that meant that they had survived another night in Sleepy Hollow. "Thank you Laurell. He's like a son to me. Whether he knows it or not..."

Laurell smiled at the sleeping Ewan before turning to Hunter and shrugging, "Its what friends do isnt it? and i can see he means a lot to you, and to the slayer... whether i like it or not" she said to him before turning to face the opening of the cave, the sun was just coming up but pain in laurells wound was stopping her from dying. she watched as the sunlight spread over the mouth of the cave seeping into the darkness inside, the sunlight inched itsway towards her feet and laurell just sat and watched. "It could be so easy for me to end this couldnt it" she sighed stretching out a hand towards the glowing light, her fingers brushed the sunshine and smoke blew from the tips. "One moment to long in the sun and puff goodbye laurell" she whispered.

"It could be easy.....if you didnt have someone like Ewan to care about you. If you did this, he'd be crushed. Go deep into the cave and ill come back at night to check on you. You should try to rest you know.....just dont end it. I care too." Hunter edged towards her, ready to tackle her and drag her to the back of the cave if needed. "Laurell......"

Laurell looked over at Hunter as he spoke her fingers still trailing through the sunlight. "Ewan would recover quickly he has his slayer to look after him" she breathed a smile on her lips. she started to stand using the wall at her back to help her, her hand trailed through the sunlight and she hissed as her skin bubbled. She turned back to Hunter watching him ready himself to tackle her "You think you would be fast enough Hunter" she asked him jokingly. she pushed herself away from the wall and closer to the light. The pain in her chest struck her hard and she wobbled slightly. "I think i should try to get back to Teag..." she let the words fade off as she stepped closer to the cave entrance

Hunter jumped up, grabbed her by the waist and forcefully pulled her to the back of the cave. "Are you crazy? You arent leaving this cave until the sun is down, got it? Why would you try to kill yourself? Ugh, you are impossible. Dont hurt him like that. Dont hurt me like that...."
Even after all the torture, Hunter still cared about Laurell. "Do the right thing and stay out of the sun."

Laurell gasped as Hunters arms grabbed her and dragged her back into the darkness of the cave, she looked at him resignedly "Ok ok ill stay" she said softly rubbing at the wound in her chest her skin felt to hot to touch and her head was swimming slightly. "I'm sorry Hunter i just thought with all the pain i cause it might have been for the best... but hey you know better" she said with a smile before sitting down on the cave floor beside ewan, the bluk of his body might shade her from as much of the sun as possible. "Your a good friend Hunter" she whispered "Even if we did get off on the wrong foot" she added with a smile in his direction.

Hunter shrugged and layed down. He'd had a long night. Within a few moments he fell asleep. Ewan on the other hand woke up and looked over at Laurell. He smiled, got up, gripping the wall tightly and hobbled to the entrance. Without another word, he left the cave. He didnt want to explain anything to Hunter or Laurell. He'd come back, he just needed to see Alex.
(ok so Ewan is gone for now, but will return)
Hunter snorted loudly, and sat up, realizing that he'd fallen asleep. He looked around frantically and noticed Laurell, about to go into hibernation. What he didnt see was Ewan. "That boy!"

Laurell shifted her weight slightly noticing that the strong presence of Ewan had gone and she forced her eyes open, hearing Hunters words she sighed trying to fight the death that would soon be on her. "he will be bac..." she mumbled softly just before her body dropped like a stone to the floor the color fading from her skin leaving it milk white and deathly sallow. her chest fell for one last time and all was still.. except for the slow leaking of bloody fluid from her wound in her chest.
