Laurell stood in the darkened street and gazed up at the burnt out house before her, its remaining windows blank and dark like empty eye sockets staring out at her, This had been her home until she had taken a lighter and gasolene to it. Laurell half smiled as she remembered the good times she had had here, her smile dropping slightly into a frown as the bad time rushed to the front of her memories. She wrapped her arms round herself and shivered as a cold desolate wind whispered across the dry and brittle grass. This was the past, now for the future, There didnt seem to be as many Vampires round town as there once was and she felt a little lonely. Laurell turned away from the house and started to stroll slowly down the moonlit road, she thought back to her meeting with Spring and the guy Ewan, he had seemed interested in finding Hunter, but for what reason Laurell had no idea. Laurell lowered her head pondering things as she walked slowly along the road

Hunter jumped out of a nearby tree, as soon as he was sure that it was laurell he was looking at. 'Well well well' he thought. "Haven't seen you for a while...." he said, jumping right in front of her. "This is quite a reunion if you ask me" staring her right in the eyes, she didnt look exactly the same but it was her. "Oh and hey, I brought my own wooden steak." he said smirking.

Laurell jumped back about 3 ft as Hunter appeared from behind a tree, 'you starled me' she whispered as she glanced up into his face. She clutched at her arms as she stood her body tense and rigid as if on guard, she forced herself to smile at his quip about a wooden stake even thought she felt like turning and running away. 'Dont worry I left all that long behind me' she whispered as she turned to look at the burnt out house behind her. she swung her head back round to face him. 'its been a while' she whispered 'life been good to you?' she asked her voice cracking slightly

"No. No it really hasn't. Made a deal with the devil and now Im trying to get out of it. My girlfriend was dying, but shes fine now which is a plus and im having issues with all of my former enemies...." he said, speaking in low and sarcastic tones. "And you think because of a burnt house im going to forgive you? Dont think so. You remember what you did to me and Emma? How could you forget. well maybe you could because you werent the one going through severe torture now were you?" his arms crossed and waiting for her reply.

Laurell backed slightly away from Hunter as he spoke,'I was under orders, I mean if it hadnt been me doing that then you would have been killing me' she whispered softly keeping her eyes on hunter as she backed further away. 'I mean im sorry that everything has been going wrong for you' she mumbled as she searched the area around her for means of an easy way out, the burnt out house came into her view and she bit her lip her eyes never leaving hunter for a second. ' If it means anything to you I have changed' she said softly

"Oh you mean changed like, you lie even more to get people to believe you? I dont think so..." he said, taking steps forward, making sure she didnt get away this time. "Youve done awful things and I think its just about time to pay for them." Turning halfway hybrid form (if i must remind, its the black eyes, sharp teeth and sharp nails  . He took every step forward that she took backward, and a small smile formed. |

Laurell shook her head as she backed up her eyes on hunter as he slowly approached her, 'Look Hunter we all did things in the past that we are sorry for , but I have changed' she said her voice breaking slightly, she backed up another step feeling the brittle grass under her feet. Without warning laurelm swung forwards and caught Hunter across the chees with her flat hands pushing him backwards before she spun and sprinted off through the grass towards the burnt out hulk of a house, if she could just get there she knew a place he would never find her, tucking her head down she ran faster, vaulting the broken front steps and hurtling through the doorway.

"Aww come on laurell, dont make this any harder than it needs to be. You can run but you cant hide...." he growled, marching toward the burnt house. Walking through the door, he saw that everything was destroyed. Maybe he could still smell her out. There was too must dust and smoke still there. He couldnt find any other scent. "Laurell, its only fair....you torture me and I get to torture you back. I thought you said you liked pain...."

Laurell crept silently down the basement stairs, wincing slightly as one creaked under her weight, she spun her head hearing Hunters taunting words, before she continued further down trusting her vampire senses to hide her well enough, as she turned the bottom stair she saw the old cage, still standing blood stains dotted the wall behind it and a alrge brown stain decorated the floor, Laurell bit her lip, maybe this hadnt been such a good idea. She crept forwards slowly before wriggling her lithe form between two large packing cases the dust tickling at her nostrils, 'thank god i dont have to breathe' she thought to herswelf as she rubbed ash and brunt wood on her skin trying to mask her scent.

Getting closer to the basement, Hunter got something of a scent but it wasnt much and he heard a soft creak in the stairs. It was something to follow. Coming down the stairs, his eyes turned a very light baby blue as he used his wolf senses to try and find her. "I know your in here...." Turning, he saw the cage and blood stains. "Never cleaned it up did you...you havent changed at all. Because of that I must kill you." he spoke in a soft voice. He kept scanning the room, hoping something would come up. "Just one little sound....and I will find you. One slight movement.." he whispered

Laurell forced her muscles to tense as she remained silent behind the boxes, she had enough to room to move without knocing into thtme and she slowly peered round then, Hunter had his back to her and laurell bit her lip her mind racing as to what to do. It suddenly dawned on her. Slowly and carefully she slipped from ebind the boxes and leapt landing neatly on hunters back her finger nails digging deep into his throat.

Hunter growled loudly as he ran backward into a wall hard, hoping that he'd hurt her. Grabbing behind his back and onto her shoulders, he threw her off. Walking towards her he small smirk appeared. "That wasnt nice Laurell, its my time to hurt you.". Then he noticed that they were walking in the direction of the cage. Grabbing laurell, ands struggling to keep hold of her, he threw her into the cage and locked the door. "I know it wont keep you in forever, but maybe if you stay in there and reflect on the past, you may just feel what I felt. If you have changed laurell....prove it." was all he said when his features went back to normal.

laurell cowered slightly in the corner of the cage as she eyed Hunter carefully, ' I have changed' she whispered 'but why should i prove it to anyone' she lowered her head so that it rested on her knees as she wrapped her hands round them hugging herself into a tight ball. Laurell body shook slightly as she tried to hold back the tears, she should never have returned to this place, she should have stayed well away from the town where no one knew her. she bit her lip as the first tear fell from her eyes to splash soundlessly on the ash covered floor. 'You have every right to be angry with me, you have every right to want to kill me' Laurells voice was barely above a whisper as she spoke, her eyes never lifting once to his face, 'the things i have done in the past im not proud of, but you cant change whats been done, only try to make it better' she looked up at him before shuffling herself back into the corner of the cage well out of his reach

"And its why Im not going to kill you. Just know that I could've. Know that I will never forget what you did, and i'll always be ready to hurt you if I need to. Hope you learned your lesson and use this wisdom wisely."he said unlocking the cage door and walking up the stairs. He wanted to spend the least amount of time he could in there. Too many terrible memories. He stopped at the top of the stairs just to see if she was still there.

Laurell sat and watched Hunter walk away from her and up the stairs, she wrapped one hand round the cage bars and pulled on it slightly, feeling the metal move in her hand, age had weakened it and the fire hadnt helped its strength much either, laurell wriggled the bar in her hand and pulled snapping it from its welding before tossing it on the floor and starting on the next, her eyes never leaving hunter. 'Oh By The Way!' she called softly up to him. 'someone was looking for you asking questions'
