Piper had left the room to check in on Grant and she saw Rick go into Mr. Winters room. She felt so bad for him and she knew that if he asked her she would answer his questions. She had known him as long as she had Nora. They had already been together a year or so by then. Rick had helped her when the vampire and wolf side effects had nearly killed her when she had become half vampire. She shook her head and knew that her first loyalty would have had to be Grant then Nora. She wondered which one's pull would be harder to resist.

Sasha O'Neill

''So you were a vampire hunter as well. So the legends about vampires and werewolfs hating one another are true, whaa'' Sasha spoke but was interupted by his lips against her neck once again. It almost seemed like he wished to tease one of her sensetive spots on her body. ''Geez, do you like to tease me'' Sasha said as felt herself becoming a bit more bold. She crawled ontop of him and let her lips hoover above his, not kisisng him, before she moved them to the side and kissed his neck, a small revenge for just now. Though she did not know how Vlad would react to teasing.

''Well.. I am proud of you, you are so cool and strong and handsome, bit of a oddball but I like that about you. You really are a natural leader, I feel so safe when I am with you..... wait doens't that make you the alpha of this small pack'' Sasha said in between kisses. She wanted to make him happy for he seemed so pained talking about his sad past, she swore to herself that from now of on, she would only create ligth and happy memories for him.
''Fate is such a strange thing, it tangles you to another and before you know it you already had a past connection, though back then I wasn't even born, Heck my ancestors were still living in scotland back then''

Ben Winters

It was some time after both Nora, Piper and Grant left. Ben was sitting on the roof of the mansion. Watching the stars It was always like this. He turned up, and suddenly, everyone had to do something. Like people tried to avoid him. However, he knew that Nora was a busy individual, and everyone who was acquainted with her would know that soon enough. Maybe it was better this way. He couldn't stand that he was drawn to her power, as a moth to a simmering light. He sighed. Still, there where a lot of interesting individuals back there. He still remembered the tension hef felt in he room. Why? He hadn't felt such feeling in a long time. He liked that though. As if chaos slowly had sipped into that room. He then saw that it became lighter. He stood up. Well, time to get back into the 'safety of the mansion. That was con o being vampire. Not being unable to enjoy a simple sunbeam. Ah well. He never liked the sun anyway. Even as his time as a human, he rather sat in the cool shade then in the blistering heat of the sun. He got inside through the window of his room. Then when he was inside, he heard a door open and close. He then smelled the smell of a hybrid. Was that the Piper girl? When he opened his door, the door of another room was open. He heard the voice of the Piper girl. Eh. He decided that it didn't interested him. He lied down on hi bed, and just as he was about to sleep, he heard a knock on his door. He sighed. What a timing. He reluctantly stood up. "Ye ye coming..." he walked to the door and saw non other then Rick standing in the opening. His one eye looked rather bored to Rick. However, the question coming out of hi mouth was rather unusual. A human that wanted to become a Vampire? Ben laughed, showing his long fangs. "That's a good one. The next thing you're gonna tell me is that you invented the wheel right?" However, when he saw how dead serious the human was, he folded his arms over each other. "Why do you want that if I may ask? You know that there comes nothing but cons to being a Vampire right?" Sure it was nice and good in the beginning. However, after some time, you get bored, and people only wanted you death. He then saw that Piper girl. His only eye turned to her. "Yo Piper, where were you guys gone off to all of a sudden?"

Vladimir chuckled deeply. He blinked when she crawled on top of him and went forward to try to meet her lips only to feel her lips on his neck. So she was teasing him now. Her lips brushing on his caused a slight shiver to go down him. He chuckled at that statement. "Hmmm...in that case that would make you the alpha female" he gently guided her face to his and kissed her before lightly nipping her lip.

He tilted his head. "Let's pretend I'm not that old." a chuckle escaped him and he continued to let her pin him. He laced his fingers into hers and looked up at her. "it would seem you have me captive" that slow smile spread on his face. "Now what are you going to do with me" mischief danced in those grey eyes that were focused on her.

Piper stopped and looked at Ben and Rick. "If you both come downstairs I'll tell you. I'm only going through this once." After they both were sitting in the parlor she looked up at them and took a drink of the vodka and Orange juice that she had asked Barkley for. She looked up at them both. Ben looked intrigued and Rick looked sorrowful and angry.

"Nora got a call today as you know. The man had a deeper voice. I had no idea but as soon as I told Nora who it was from she completely changed. Everything about her changed. She was more hurried and decided that I and Grant could come with her. When we got there we were introduced to her vampire grandfather, Count Dracula. As our time progressed there I couldn't sleep so I had the driver bring Grant and I back." Piper looked at Rick who looked like she had struck him. When she heard chuckling it was Ben's voice that caught her attention. "I figured if you had known Nora as long as she said you did you would know about him in her life. Stupid as I am I only knew of 'the grandfather' I had no idea that I am part of Count Dracula's sire line. Please don't tell anyone of what I just told you. I have no idea who is trustworthy at this point and who is not."

Sasha O'Neill

''hmmm, the alpha female...'' Sasha smiled before the continued with her sentacne ''I am a horrible leader'' Sasha joked, part of it being true. Trouble could find the girl like a magnet.''So if we are goint to talk about wolf terms how would you call me, your lover or your mate?''Sasha kissed him and let her hand trail over his chest, her nails slowly tracing his skin.

''You forgot that I like old things Vladimir'' Sasha continued to tease him until she feld Vlad intertwine their fingers. When he told her that she had him captive one could swear you could see Sasha's head turn red. Smart move, he had teased her back and it had indeed worked very well.

''what I am going to do with you....'' Sasha tought out loud. ''I would say, do your very best to please me and I might let you go'' She grinned a shy grin and brought Vlad's hand to her chest.

{pg-13 whooooooooooooooooooooeoeoeoeeeeeeeeeeeee}

@Ojo chan 42
Vladimir tilted his head. "You are both to me because both mean the same thing."

That mischief continued in his eyes and he proceeded to do so.
After the next....round Vladimir held Sasha and looked absolutely content. He kissed her forehead and then tilted his head. "You know...at some point we probably should leave the bedroom...and you probably need to eat" he chuckled. "Not that I'm objecting." he laced his fingers with hers and sighed. He gently got up and pulled on denim pants...apparently deciding the leather had enough for awhile. He then helped her up and kissed her. He then pulled back and sighed. "I will meet you in the kitchen" he kissed her forehead and left the room to let her get dressed.

If she wanted to she could find some of his clothing easily. Or she could put on the dress again. He made his way to the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of red liquid. He drank some of it and put it back before grabbing the rum. He downed some of that and then leaned against the counter. He couldn't cook...but if she wanted he could catch some more animals for different meats.

Ben Winters

He heard Piper's request. Now he was interested. He walked past Rick, after Piper. Since her story got more interest right now then turning some random human in one of his own. He first wanted to hear what the heck was going on. He always longed for new information, and he had the feeling that this would be very important information.

So Nora got a call from old man Dracula himself? Oh yea, she had bonds with that old geezer. He completely had forgotten about that. He chuckled when Piper told that. It was quite funny really. This explained why he was so intrigued by her. When Piper was done. Ben was the first to take the word. "I had completely forgotten bout that, you know that?" He smiled. "I already find it weird that you, a hybrid are a actual sire of that old geezer." He chuckled again. Quite funny really."However, We won't tell anybody." Well, that was a lie. He could always tell some random person that Piper Lance was a sire of Lord Dracula. "At least I won't. I don't know about Rickyboy here." He looked at Rick as he said that. He still didn't knew why this kid wanted to be a Vampire. Was it because of Nora? Ah well. Maybe the kid had good reasons for it.

Rick Hoover

Just when Rick thought he could ask Ben in all peace and quiet to turn him, Piper came rushing and and orderd them down stairs. Rick followd her, feling a tad pissed as he had gotten interrupted.

Silently he listened as Piper explained Nora's sudden weirder than normal behaviour. Rick had a hard time believing the young hybrid as she spoke about Dracula. He was back and revieved from the dead. A concerned look washed over his face as he rememberd once meeting a man who claimed to be a master vampire hunter, coming from a line that had assisted in killing Dracula. Rick had not believed the man, and turnd down his offer to train under him, his cousin Sasha had not, and gladly started to train under him. He would give her a call later, telling her that Dracula had been revieved, that little reported just loved those kind of news.

''So if I understand it correctly Piper, Nora was sired by a vampire who was sired by Dracula. He...fancy's here and that is why she left me....'' Rick spoke a bit to calm, hiding the anger in his voice.

''Mister Ben.. Turn me, I wish to safe Nora from his clutches. You know just as I that Nora prefers to be free. Besides, my wife run off on me, I gotta get her back or I cannot call myself a man'' Rick said stern awaitin the vampire's offer. Piper could try and stop him, but he would rather die than to let the only woman he had ever loved sink away in the shadows.

Grant Holiday

Grant awoke in the morning, almost forgetting the terrible events that had recently transpired. He sat up in his bed and for a moment nearly freaked out. Piper was nowhere to be seen. He sniffed the air and calmed down. She was in the house. Grant stood up out of bed and stretched. He took of his shirt and folded it on the bed. Grant sniffed the air and smelled Piper again. He became slightly paranoid, not seeing her, so Grant walked out of the room following her scent.

Grant walked to the room Piper was in, but stopped right outside. He listened to the conversation and got the gist of of the subject on hand. Grant walked in, bare footed and shirtless, and leaned against a wall.

"Mr. Winters, I implore that you do not chatter amongst any colleagues about the newly obtained information. My master is not someone you wish to cross, and he does not want this knowledge spreading. Also I wish to ask you a few questions. But first."

Grant smiled, baring his fangs at Rick.

"Did I hear that you, Miss Nora's playful little human, wish to become a creature of the night? I could assist with that."

@ojo chan 42@wick@MrZerkon

Nora stood in the shower's hot water allowing the soap to wash over her hair and down her body. She went through the motions but her mind had checked out. With the resurface of her old lover she had completely upended her life to go running back. It seemed more than a little unfair, to Rick, to Piper but mostly to herself. She did love Vladimir in some ways but they were completely different than the ways that she had loved Rick and Piper. Piper was her daughter that just found out that her mother has an evil side and sleeps with the son of the devil. Rick...she couldn't think about what she had done to him. It hurt too much.

Her mind went dark and she smiled as possessive arms wound their way around her waist and pulled her back against him. Her eyes closed in excitement as he started to kiss her neck and soon she was lost in his touch and his kisses.

Ben Winters

He listened to what Rick had to say. He sighed. This kid surely was interesting. He laughed. His long fangs were seen as he did that. "Oh, she sure would, and I know that all too well. However, if you want to take on old Dracula, you gotta have more then just guts. Turning into a Vampire won't magically give you the strength to save Nora, and I think you know that too. Maybe you should give it some thought." He knew that all to well. He had seen Dracula a few times. However, it was just briefly. Still, he always felt an enormous power when he was near that old geezer. And that said a lot. "And please, just say Ben. That mister makes me feel so old." Even though he was one of the oldest Vampires still alive, he stil preferred that everyone just treated him as if he were young, since his skills were still far from rusty.

He saw Grant walking into the room. He already slightly had smelled him. He hadn't really paid attention to his smell. Still, there was this tension in the room again. He sighed, as he saw what happend between Grant and Rick. He folded his arms, however, he kept the serious tone. "Well, if you want to bite the kid, go ahead. I won't stop you." Then at least it wasn't his fault when Rick dived head first into his death. Still, he couldn't help to feel sorry for the kid. He decided that he had to do something about it. "However, do you really wish to turn him into one of our own? The kid won't last long with his mentality, that's for sure." He then switched from subject. "And I think your master will hear soon enough wether or not I told that information that was given to me right?" He wasn't really afraid of that old geezer nor his servants. They were just puppets, on the strings of faith. He didn't wish to interfere them. Still, his own actions were part of faith itself. This was why some of his actions were always at random. He always wanted to challenge faith.

Calis Everglad

He studied this Jean,as he told his story. Boring, as usual. Dynamic duo, yada yada... A killer? No really. Little did Jean knew that he was speaking with yours truely. He listened further. So he was indeed a bodyguard of Miss O'Neill. Just as he thought. Calis couldn't help but smile when Jean had a certain look in his eyes. He would soon see that for real. Let's just try todo as if the story mad any impact on him "That's terrible to hear Mr Belair. If that killer comes, I will gladly assist you guys. Since I think my help can be pretty good."

The next day. Calis was growing impatient, as he sat in a fauteuil, lookin at what was left of a fire place. He still hadn't found a good moment to kill Miss O'Neill...because she was almost always in companionship with that hybrid. He groaned. Why did she had to be so well secured...The only thing he could do right now, is waiting till she was alone.

Rick Hoover

Rick swallowed as he looked from one pair of fangs to another. He was going to trow away everything to safe Nora, and then what. Whould she still love him, heck he would be suprised if she was still wearing their wedding rings. He sighed frustrated as he slid his hand through his dark brown hair.

''I should have turned a long time ago, but I constantly refused Nora's advances on that. And now that I wish to leave the light fr her she leaves me. I have no idea how this while sire thing works but if either one of you is going to turn me I would rather get turned by someone who will not stop me using the foce of his blood over me. I will get Nora back, or die trying. And who knows I am Lucky and the old man perishes in the process'' Rick spoke. He knew he was treathing on thin ice here, he had just said he would try to kill Dracula.

''But I will not be foolish enough to try and kill him on my own, I would like to aks your help. The blood compact needs to return or a lot of unncececairy blood will be shed, and Grand, don't you want to live a life with Piper? Alone with her and safe, no under the constant threath your master...I belive... will kill you or her. I have...some connections as well''Rick sighed, he jsut hoped that Sasha knew where Alon Dublin would be, or that she could help him. No matter how you twisted it, she was still a huntress of some sorts.

''I have a cousin, she currently lives in Montreal and works as a reporter. However, she has been trained for a bit by a hunter called Alon Dublin, the line of masters that went before him were trained in the style of one man. I take it the name Jonathan Harker does a bell ring. Perhaps she could help us, her name is Sasha O'neill''

@BlackPanther@MrZerkon

Sasha O'Neill & Jean Belair

Sasha ooked at Vladimir dress himself and then leave the room, giving her some space to dress as well. She decided to rummage through his closet, seeing what she could find concerning interesting cloathing. She found nothing she dared to wear, seeing as the leather pants could possibly remind him of his dead wife. She stuck to a wide white blouse and a long wide red skirt of her own. She tucked the blouse in her black corset and walked outside the room. She felt a sligth pain in her abdomen and winched, she wasn't used to such nightly activeties.

''Are you alrigth?'' Jean asked, already fully dressed as well. Sasha looked at him for a brief second before blinking. ''Yes....I...I am fine, Good morning'' Sasha said and Jean sighed as he saw her obviously red head. ''Hey lassy, no need to act akwards around one another, we are still partners'' Jean said as he walked into the kitchen with Sasha. For a moment Sasha hesitated if she should go to Vlad, not wanting to hurt Jeans feelings as well. She was a bit torn between her lover and her best friend. ''Giddy you go'' Jean said pushing Sasha towards Vladimir's direction. He himself grabbed his box of sigarets and his lighter and made his wat outside.

Looking at Jean Sasha wonderd when it was that he had started smoking.
''good morning again'' Sasha said as she trotted to Vladimir and twirled her skirt before kissing him on the cheek.

''Can I make something for you, OR FOR YOU JEAN'' Sasha yelled the last part. From outside a chuckle could be hear ''scrambled eggs, if there are egg. if not anything you make tasts good so suprise me''
''And what about you Mr Sanders? or do you not eet human food as well? Good morning, I had almost forgotten to greet you''

@Ojo chan 42@MrZerkon
Vladimir looked over as soon as he smelled her. He smiled and moved as soon as her lips went for her cheek and kissed her lips. He chuckled as he pulled back and she asked if she could make him anything. "I am afraid to say I can't taste much anymore." he tilted his head. "I can go get some eggs...for anything else...mostly I just have dead animals. The garage is where I store the bodies feel free to pick something while I go get those eggs" he kissed her again before spinning her once. "You look beautiful this morning" he then left.

Once outside he inhaled and started following a scent. Presumably scents of birds. He eventually found himself staring up a tree and grumbling at a nest. He climbed it and grabbed the eggs before being attacked by the parent birds. He huffed at them and made his way back after he got what he thought were enough eggs. His arms held 6 eggs as he walked back.

Grant Holiday

Grant remained calm on the outside, but on the inside his mind reeled. This human knew Miss Sasha? Grant believed fortune favored him most kindly today.

"If you wish to become one with the night I can assist you. Or this other gentlmen may, I have no objections. But I would caution that you do not use words that can define harmful intent towards Count Dracula. My master does not appreciate any form of rudeness."

Grant walked forward until he was only a foot away from Rick. He looked to Ben, then back at rick, then back to Ben.

"It would seem you are indifferent to these matters altogether, but I would appreciate you repeating nothing from this conversation. I shall trust you in this regard. If you wish to assist us I would look upon you with favor."

Grant looked back at Rick.

"Naming Dracula as my master was a mere slip of the tongue but I do not regret, for now I know your true intentions. I have to play along with Dracula for now, but I long term goal is his destruction. I serve another Master, one who is equal to Dracula and has been around just as long as hi. But since they are equal it would only end in a draw. If you wish to be rid of Dracula, you may join me but I do require your absolute silence on the matter. He cannot suspect a thing. I will try to leave Miss Nora alive, for she once saved my life. But be fair warned, she hold Dracula close to her heart. She may force my hand. As I said I will try my best to leave her alone but nothing is cemented with destiny yet."

"Now I wish to know more of your connections. I actually have need of Miss Sasha and have been looking for her for quite some time. Do you know her wherabouts?"

@ojo chan 42@wick@mrzerkon

Pipers head turned to him when Grant said he had another Master equal to Dracula. This distressed her and she quietly left the room. Tonight there would be a Full Moon. The one night she could not control her changing. The rest of the time she would only shift into a wolf for hunting not usually the full werewolf. She was concerned how she was going to handle this tonight.

Piper went to talk to Barkley and reminded him to get the cage ready for the night. He nodded and smiled at her. "Yes Miss Piper." The cage was built when Nora realized that Piper was a hybrid. She had had an expert build a cage for her so that she didn't have to worry about her getting out and killing a bunch of people or vampires. Piper was missing Nora already. Every month for five years she had calmed her before she changed and now she wasn't even here. Piper hated full moons. They were gorgeous but for her they were a curse. The cage was in the woods in an underground bunker. Piper walked out there to check that all was secure still.

She saw something out of place far off and there was an odd scent in the air. Piper's inner wolf growled and she stalked her way around the area. Once she got to the bunker it was half yanked out of the ground and the inside was destroyed. She shifted to normal wolf form and ran the perimeter of the premises. A little freaked out she ran back to the house and dressed. Running into the house she ran up the stairs and grabbed her bag. She had no safe place to turn. She had to go as far away as she could. "Grant?"

Sasha O'Neill & Jean Belair

Sasha sighed as she watched Vlad leave the house and went into the woods. He was going to get eggs, especialy for Jean an her. She smiled, he was so kind. Following Vladimir's advice Sasha walked to the garage and opened the fridge. She saw some of the bunnies he had killed yesterday, skinned and well. She took one of them and headed to the kitchen. As she prepared the meat for cooking Sasha got lost in her thoughts, where the hell was the vampire that had treathend her life. He had called her from montreal and even a human could have reached them by now, so where was the inhuman. Sasha knew she had to be carefull, she did not fear losing her own life as much as possible hurting Vlad again. What whould he do if he lost her, if he would stumble upon her lifeless body. Sasha was sure that he would lose himself, and that is something she never wanted to happen to the hybrid who already carried regret like a open wound.

He slept so bad because of this regret, that is why she had lended him her Lavender oil. Lavender helped agaisnt sleeplessness and above all is smelled nice. Sasha sighed and though of what other kind of herb could help Vladimir, seeing as lavender did not exactly grew in this forest.

Then an idea struck her mind. There would minth growing in the forest. Maybe the scent of it couls sooth him during his sleep. However, Sasha did not wanted to go out alone, but going with Jean right now would feel a bit....akward, to say the least. So Sasha trotted over to the other person left in the house and approached him while holding her hands behind her back and smiled.

''Mr Sanders, I need to go out for a bit, will you walk with me? I don't want to go alone right now''

@Wick@dabombjk

Rick Hoover

Rick siged, and thought about his options. Both Ben and Grand were willingly to turn him. He was hesitating as to who would turn him as Grand asked him if he knew where Sasha was.

''Sasha? I guess still in Montreal, she lives there'' Rick said as he looked at Grand. He had made his decicion.

''Grand, please turn me, I wish to safe Nora'' Rick spoke, his words firm and without fear. He would even die and come back from the death if it could help Nora.
