    [No worries.]

    Rhiannon had lost track of time, having fallen asleep during her meditation, but when she woke she felt better and her powers had returned to her. She opened her bag, looking to see that the two guards were still there and she found what she was looking for. It was a small vial, like most things were in her bag, but it was a brew she had made up in her mountain home. Something that made her a little harder to deal with, even for a vampire. Sinking the contents, her eyes remained a violet color, but she took up her bag and headed to the door, but when the vampire guards moved, she looked at them. "You are not allowed to leave this room, witch."

    It was more or less a challenge in her eyes and she closed her eyes, "Watch me." she hissed and she snapped her fingers on both hands and the guards went down, holding their heads and wincing. When she made it into the hall, she looked around before she bolted for the door. She had been otherwise unseen, seeing as the humans were already swarming into the club. She snapped her fingers again to release the spell, blending into the crowds of humans as she made her way out the door. She pulled her hood up, and looked around the streets. Chris can't have gotten too far, and she closed her fist and opened it a couple of times. It was the spell she had used to find him earlier and once she had a lock on him, she ran in the direction that her spell was taking her.

    She bounded a corner quickly, and she found Christoph walking with the three vampires that had been their welcome wagon. They headed into another building, and she managed to get inside too. It was bustling with people too and she knew that the noise and the people in relative manner would annoy Chris. A man walked over to her and when he touched her, she placed her hand on his face and he slumped to the floor. "Imbecile." she muttered and she finally got to Chris, making sure not to come up behind the group. "You feeling alright?" she asked him.

    The two guards from the other club had entered the club, and when they found her they walked over. "You weren't supposed to leave the infirmary." one very angrily said.

    "I was there to get rest. I got it, so I left. I didn't see any problem with letting myself out." she spoke, quietly, and she looked to Chris. She didn't like this town. Sure there was protection because it was almost all supernatural, but there were better places than this. This one didn't feel right at all.

    "I have to ask you to come back with us." the other guard spoke, and Rhiannon looked to Chris.

    "Really? And leave him to kill more people. You had to see the bodies I did. I can't control him by any means, but if you didn't notice, it was probably useless when I left. Wasn't it?" she spoke, clicking her tongue slightly. "I get it, you don't like me because I'm a witch. Get over it. I'm not here to be a burden. We just needed a place to stop off for a while, get the hunters off our tails. We'll be out of your hair sooner than you think."

    The guards looked between each other. They had remembered the elders saying something about the anomaly not being able to leave, but the witch seemed keen on leaving with him. It was potentially problematic as the elders knew what clan of witch the one before them was from, and it was one known to be unkind to their race. However, she hadn't made a move to harm them yet which was baffling.

    Soon the two left, seeming to be in thought and Rhiannon dismissed it all together. She looked over Chris. They hadn't moved to hurt him from what she could tell and his wounds were completely healed. She sighed and looked around. She was still in her right mind, but the effects of the brew were kicking in and she could feel an extra surge of power flush over her from head to toe.

    "Ah~ If it isn't Rachel!" Christoph beamed, turning to face the witch with a brilliant grin spread across his face. The vampires had been keeping him fairly occupied for the most part, taking him to different places so he could sate his curious nature with new and colourful things to look at, play with and attempt to eat. But this one was definitely his favourite. He had only been here a few minutes but the vampire escorts had gathered him a small group and told them to do what he did. So... You can imagine what happened.
    He gestured for the humans surrounding him to line up properly - which they did, letting him stand at the front. He shifted to the right, then they shifted to the right quickly. Soon enough, they were shifting back and forth - before Chris suddenly broke out into a few dance moves that he had learnt from watching the others, to which the other dancers followed in suite. Eventually, the choreography came together and they were all dancing in unison - perfectly to the beat of the rather loud music no less.
    The escort of vampires stood off to the side slightly, feeling a little less anxious around the anomaly. That being said however, it would be a very long time before they could call him an ally. He did attack Chanelle outright, after all. Though he still apparently says he was merely playing.

    It felt good, knowing that he wasn't being chased. Or rather - that this place was a haven from their pursuers. Though, as with all things he found interesting at first, he grew bored of his surroundings. It was rather hard to keep him in the one place for longer than a few minutes. Ever since he had woken up from his long slumber, obviously it was time to experience as much as possible - as he had wasted so much time sleeping.
    "Oi, Christoph." Oshizu pat him on the shoulder to get his attention, "Let's go back. Time to eat."
    The mention of food sent Christoph scampering out of the club, eager to eat something after only having the flower earlier that day. These vampires could not rely on anything other than the blood of animals and humans to sustain themselves, so they couldn't simply feast on anything with a life-force as he could.
    "Let's go Gwendle!" he practically demanded as he ran out, shoving a poor man out of the way on his trip. The man hit the ground rather hard, due to the unnecessary amount of force Christoph had utilised in his movements - causing the man to become winded upon hitting the floor.
    The escorting vampires followed soon after, not really saying much aside from the odd comment here and there about what Christoph was doing or where they should go next. They didn't bother with the witch, knowing that she'd just argue. It wasn't their duty to keep her at bay anyway.

    Rhiannon looked at Chris, almost relieved to see him acting like himself. Almost relieved. Watching him shove the man on his way out made her shake her head a little and follow after him. These vampires didn't seem to want to bother with her, but most didn't unless they were trying to kill her. She didn't mind that they weren't bothering her and she ran to catch up with Chris. When she did, she shook her head. "You are just a ball of manic energy." she muttered more to herself, but she noticed where they had went into and rolled her eyes, seeing the guards that were supposed to have kept her contained, and she shrugged a bit.

    When they walked in for them to feed, she opened her bag and opened a small bag of potato chips. She generally kept small things to eat in her bag. She hadn't realized just how hungry she was, but most of the time she was too focused to notice when she was hungry and when she was not. Today, however, she could feel the pain in her stomach and she munched on her chips as quietly as possible. She watched the vampires, and she looked into her bag again, making sure everything that had been in there was accounted for. It was, thank goodness.

    She watched Chris though, much like she did when she first started traveling with him. He was random, unpredictable, and very curious. He was really like a child, even if he didn't mean to be. It was an innocence she didn't understand, especially when the spirits of nature had labeled him as a monster. He really wasn't, he was just new to the world again, and she just quietly observed. The guards from earlier looked at her and flanked her side, causing her to roll her eyes. Two of them wouldn't be hard for her to handle, but with the others in the room, if they had to take her off they could. She just didn't want to leave Chis alone with them again.

    As much like them as he was, he wasn't like them. He didn't belong in their world, she knew that much from being around him for as long as she had. She closed her eyes and just allowed her thoughts to consume her mind, only if Chris were to speak to her would she speak again. He seemed to be the only one here who even remotely respected her.

    Even though they were told not to deal with the witch, it was hard to keep herself in check. No matter how many times she thought over what had happened in that alleyway, she could not believe how unbelievably fast Christoph was able to move in such a controlled manner.
    "Hey, Witch." Chanelle grumbled, wandering closer to the magical being. She made sure not to make eye-contact, thinking that she'd probably become tainted with something foul if she did.
    "We don't trust you - but I think getting your side of the story couldn't hurt. Where did you find him? Does he even know where he came from?" she continued into her questioning, still staring elsewhere as she spoke.
    "Why can he walk in direct sunlight if you think he's a vampire? How did he take my weapon so easily? Is there some kind of trick?"

    "No, wait! That's for the humans! Fuck!" Oshizu tried to pull Christoph away from a large assortment of food. Indeed, this was supposed to entice the humans that they had lured into the club into the back room, to which they'd then either seduce them or lull them into a sleep so they could feast upon their blood. Unfortunately, Chris was rather devouring it all at a lightning pace. As Oshizu pulled harder, he was suddenly yanked forwards. Chris tugged his arm free of Oshizu's grip, flinging him over the table and bowling into a small group of vampires, ending them all crashing to the ground. Of course, he didn't actually mean for that to happen - he was much too focused on the food to even notice something like that had eve occurred around him. His eyes began to glow a bright red as he fed, utilising the energy he gathered from the platters of food and replenished his own.
    "Well, there's the first hint that he's a vampire." Ryousuke chuckled quietly, gazing into Chris' eyes, watching the crimson of his iris' glimmer with energy.
    "Oh! Why don't we play a game, Chris?" the vampire asked, smiling playfully. He looked up instantly, locking gaze with the vampire who offered to play with him.
    "When we go outside, why don't we play tag? If you catch me first - then I have to catch you. Sound fun?" he explained, tilting his head a little as he spoke. Chris nodded his head in approval, stuffing the remaining bits of food into his mouth and swallowing it hole - before breaking for the door once again. As Ryousuke turned to follow, he glanced back at one of the elders whom was sitting near the back corner of the room, nodding back at him in confirmation. Ryousuke left, Oshizu following soon after.

    Rhiannon raised a brow when the female walked over to her and began asking questions. That was different, most would have rejected any information she had, but this one seemed more well-rounded than the others, and she thought momentarily. "I didn't find him. He found me, saved me from a couple of hunters after I came down from the mountains. I don't really think he has any clue of who or what he is or where he came from. His immature, childish-almost infantile- nature suggests he's been..." she began searching for a word. "Hibernating, excuse my lack of a better term. Witches aren't known to associate with vampires as I'm sure you're aware, so I have no idea what you call extended sleeps."

    She felt a little more relaxed, but she could hear some ruckus and shook her head a bit. "As for why he can walk in sunlight and his heightened abilities, I have no solid explanation. I have my suspicions, but because he is the only creature to feed and act in such a manner it is hard to compare him to other things. He's been marked by the human hunters. They want to kill him, but he doesn't deserve death."

    Sure she was speaking idly about Christoph, but she still knew that the vampires were trying to figure him out. "My only explanation for the sunlight is because he isn't considered undead, I'm sure you've sensed the body heat as where I know you don't have true body heat. Everything else I have yet to look into. Honestly, he doesn't mean harm, he just doesn't see the world like we do. He's just like an overgrown child. Hard to manage, but I've notice he is significantly more likely to kill if he's not around me. I'm sure you've picked that up. I assume it's because he's gotten used to me."

    She closed her eyes, and she took a vial from her bag and sunk the contents of it. She let out a long sigh when the ruckus stopped, and she looked down to her feet. "That's all the information I can offer you though. He's not like you in many ways, but so alike it is hard not to compare."

    She finished off her bag of chips and discarded it into a trash bin. She wasn't so sure if she had just told the wrong person her understandings, but she knew one thing. Chris didn't deserve any harsh treatment nor did he deserve death. For as many people as he killed, there was still an innocence about him. It was almost refreshing, but deadly all the same.

    Chanelle was satisfied with the majority of the witch's answers, even if they were a little vague. Perhaps that explained the anomaly's existence in itself - vague. He was like a vampire, yet not. He was like a werewolf, yet not. It was so hard to categorise him that perhaps he deserves one for himself. Unfortunately, she failed to mention just how he had usurped her weapon so easily - as though it just de-materialized and appeared in his hands. Nodding to Rhiannon slowly, as a moderate thank you for her answers, she turned and followed the others outside - arriving just in time to see them begin their game.

    Ryousuke stretched either leg slowly, before jogging on the spot for a moment.
    "Alright Christoph. The rules are simple. First, you try to catch me. Just grabbing me is fine. After you catch me, then I have to catch you." he explained slowly, relieving himself of his coat - hopefully making himself a little more aero-dynamic. As he prepared himself, he turned away from Christoph - judging the distance between the closest building and himself. He knew that Chris was fast, but could he jump as high? Just as he was about to set off, he stopped completely - unable to do anything other than feel the absolute pressure that stared down on the back of his head. It took him a moment to snatch back his composure, feeling a cold sweat begin to form around his hairline. Carefully, he glanced over his shoulder - back towards Chris, where he felt the overwhelming presence from. He was simply grinning like a child whom had just been granted a new toy for their birthday. His body showed no signs of threat or anything of the sort - he just simply gave off an unbelievable air.
    "Uh... Give me a three second head start." he mumbled softly, to which Chris nodded quickly - eagerly anticipating the game.
    Ryousuke practically disappeared, having jumped from his spot and soared through the sky overhead, landing on the nearest building's roof top, before sprinting down it's length and jumping again. A loud crackle emanated from below, before he felt something touch his ankle. Suddenly, he stopped moving forward - dropping from his jump just as it started, only to be hung upside down by his leg. He started in shock back up at Christoph, who was holding him from the ledge of the roof - a triumphant smile plastered to his features. Slowly, Ryousuke dared turn his gaze towards their starting position - eyes widening in awe slightly as he came upon a sudden realisation.
    "You... Made that distance in one stride?" he asked politely, trying his best to smile. Chris nodded furiously in response.

    Oshizu was on his ass, having fallen backwards when Christoph had suddenly exploded from his standing position - causing the tarmac beneath to crater inwards from the sudden force that was applied to it.
    "W-What the fuck?! Did he jump?!" he sputtered, quickly switching his stare from the crater to the captured Ryousuke, then back again.
    "I didn't even see him move - he was just gone! The fucking pavement is smashed!" he went on to declare loudly, pointing at the ground.
    Chanelle bit her bottom lip gently - staring up at the two that stood at the corner of the rooftop across the street. It was no trick - his legs carried him three times farther than theirs could. Was that even his maximum distance? How strong were his kicks if he could jump that far?

    Chris let go of Ryousuke, who did not expect this - falling straight back down to ground level, but managing to turn in the air until he could land on his feet - causing a gentle thump once he touched the floor.
    "My turn now?" Chris asked loudly though he did not wait for an answer, instead opting to jumping from the roof - whipping through the air until he reached the second building, which was double as high. He landed on the roof, waved down at Ryousuke, before running off.

    Rhiannon walked outside when she heard the yelling and when she saw the crater she raised a brow, curiously. They were playing, yes, but when Chris jumped he hadn't left a crater like that before. She walked over to it, much to the dismay of the vampires watching her and she studied them impression. It wasn't from the lift off itself, but from the pressure of the air. That meant she could probably fix it. Waving a hand over the pavement, it began molding back together and raising up to it's normal level. It was as if there had never been one there. "Just watch if he gets too excited. Things get kind of...messy when he's excited." she muttered and she leaned against a nearby building wall, the two vampire guards still following her. That was to her dismay.

    She noticed how Chris held Ryousuke as if he were nothing. He had done the same with her before, but she could also sense the air of excitement about him. It was overbearing, but the innocent overtones overruled the heaviness about him. She shook her head slightly and opened one of her books, sitting on the concrete whilst she read in the street lights. She hated being cooped up the way she had been, but she knew why. Vampires and witches had a long history of bad blood, and she knew that it would only get worse when they had a chance to truly separate her and Chris. She hadn't taken any pride in hurting a creature like them, but that didn't mean she wouldn't if she had to.

    Reading over the old witch language in her books, she looked up and thought a moment. If she could figure out how old Chris was perhaps she could get an answer as to what he was and if he was made by magic. Still, that was a predicament in and of itself.

    - - - -



    He watched quietly from the street corners, not bothering to keep up with what they were, who they were, or even how far they had come to get here. All he knew was that a target was in sight, and with that target in sight he also noticed the group. Holding up a small device, waving it over in the general direction of each of them he smirked. "Vampires." He was satisfied with that, but his device didn't pick up anything on one of the girls and he frowned. "The human could make it a little bit harder though."At least he assumed a human was sitting there reading. She was pretty, but something told him that she wasn't to be messed with, especially with the vampires surrounding her and the one he needed was on the roof with another vampire.

    "Boss. We're in position. Should we move?" his walkie blared at him, and when he picked it up he sighed.

    "Not yet. There's a possible human over there. We can't hurt humans." he reminded them. The palm of his hand was itchy, but looking at the insignia there he shook his head. This was his hunt and his prey. No one would take that from him. NO ONE.

    "Boss... She's not human." the walking said, and he raised a brow. "She's that witch."

    "Don't make a move yet." he told them. "Wait for my signal. We need to get the target separated from the main group."

    Christoph slowed to a stop, turning a little to stare at the end of the roof - his ears twitched gently. Obviously he had heard something that piqued his interest, but the noise disappeared before he could get a good read on it. He went to pursue the sound, but Ryousuke appeared from the building-side, panting rather hard after the long climb to the top - where Chris was.
    "F-... Found you..." he wheezed, before making a grab at him. Chris merely stepped to the side - he didn't need to even try to avoid Ryou's attempts at capture at this point. He was apparently much too tired to utilise any of his vampiric speed for the next few moments - until he was able to catch his breath, at least.
    Chris probably would have gotten bored with how the game was progressing by now if he wasn't so interested in what that noise was earlier. Having such heightened senses, he was used to hearing a great deal of things at once - but he had since trained himself to react to the sound of static from a handheld device.
    "No more fun." he announced suddenly, not bothering to avoid Ryou's grabbing any further. The vampire tilted his head a little, before nodding. If the weird, overly strong and unbelievably fast vampire thing decided that the game was over - then it was over. He gestured for him to follow, before slipping off the side of the building, sliding along the wall to keep himself at a manageable speed.
    Chris, on the other hand, just dropped straight down.

    Chanelle checked her watch - they were late for dinner. Chris had eaten, sure - but the three escorts hadn't. Just as she popped from her leaning position, she turned to face the witch.
    "Come inside." she practically demanded. Only as soon as the last syllable left her lips did the ground suddenly crumble at her side - making her yelp in surprise, jumping back and practically clinging to the wall.
    Chris was now knee-deep in asphalt, having landed so hard that he actually dug into the ground itself. He pulled himself out slowly - which seemed even more impossible than creating the two holes in the first place. Dusting down his pants, he glanced back over his shoulder - down the street.
    "Boiling water." he muttered. Not warning the others however, he merely started back inside - thinking that their pursuers probably wouldn't venture into the unknown depths of a vampire's den.
    Ryou finally landed, having regained his breath on his way down.
    "Will the wonders never cease? Dropping like that would re-invent your body into jelly. I wonder what he's made out of if it isn't skin and bones." he wondered aloud, speaking more to himself than anybody in particular.

    Rhiannon looked to Chanelle when she said to go inside, but when she yelped and she looked at Chris she knew something was up. Rarely did he act so serious and just run off, and she closed her hand into a first and slowly allowed her fingers to straighten out one by one. She looked in the direction her pinky was pointing. Something was over there, and she had a feeling it was a hunter. "We'd better follow him. He's sensed something, and I'm feeling it too." she muttered, heading off after Chris. "Chris! Slow down!" she called out to him, running after him.

    She couldn't keep up and it was pointless to try, but she was still able to keep him in her general line of view. She didn't like the feel of the hunters that were watching them now. The others were at least no actual threat unless in large numbers, but what she felt off of this one was enough to compensate for many. She wasn't sure that this town could take this hunter on. She wasn't even sure if magic could work against him. He was meant to contend with Chris, that much was noticeable by his aura.

    - - - -

    He hated to be kept waiting and watching the target come down on the ground with enough force to fall in and not break his bones was very interesting, but apparently they were onto the group and he picked up his walkie. "Move in." he began walking from his spot and on the street and he kept an eye on the witch as she looked over in his general direction before going after their target and the other vampires seemed to be going after him as well.

    He cursed and began moving, popping the cap off the holy water he had and throwing it. Apparently it was sensed because the witch turned and the water fizzed into stream when she moved her hand and said something. "Perhaps she needs to come too." he muttered, "Take the witch too." he said into his walkie before heading on off, opening another vial of holy water and tossing it, only to have it fizz into steam.

    The hunter may have thought he'd just engaged an all-out assault on the vampires and the guests they guarded, but little did he think of how Chris had caught on to their presence. Again and again, the sounds of static washed from various points around his surroundings. A map to every last enemy in proximity.

    Chanelle grabbed the witch by the arm, dragging her away quickly with Ryou and Oshizu guarding her retreat. Even if relations with witches weren't as smooth as they could be - guests of the elders were VIPs in combat situations. They would defend the two to their last breaths.

    The hunter had placed transponder signatures on each of his co-workers. He would get a constant feed of health information regarding them as long as they were breathing. Suddenly, the transponders began shutting down one by one - the gps tracking systems on each person reading 'KIA' within mere moments of the last. One remained, in the end - which quickly began moving. It seemed the member of the hunter brigand was rushing to the leader of the operation for help. As she ran around the corner of the street, tripping over her own boots on the way through - she scampered towards him, blurting something about not wanting to die. It was as she climbed to her feet, breaking out into a sprint towards her commanding officer did he appear.
    Christoph stood directly behind her, having seemingly appeared from her very shadow. His glowing eyes pierced the darkness like arrows of pure light in the dark abyss of the night.
    "You are the one that hurt me... Who tried to hurt us." he declared firmly, for once utilising a serious tone of voice. His aura had changed significantly - as though an alter ego had taken place of his usual, childish personality.
    "Enough hunting... Face me, now." he raised a gloved hand, pointing at the man with a menacing scowl curled at his features.
