Vladimir remained silent and continued to fake sleeping as the vampire stepped into the room. He wondered somewhat what exactly this one thought to ask for. What could a vampire possibly want from a reporter. Unless this one knew that she was trained by a vampire hunter...or even knew Vladimir himself. There could;t be anything else. After all Dracula had been killed so long ago he doubted anyone really even remembered the leech. Then he heard a sentence he had never thought he would hear. A sentence That caused him to get angry in moments. Ironically not the sentence about Sasha.

Vladimir's eyes shot open and he was up and holding Grant by the throat in moments. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE"S ALIVE" He dropped grant and started pacing anger clear in every fiber of his being his eyes a dull red. "He was dead...he was very very dead." He spun and faced Grant. "Vampyre choose thine words with caution. When did Dracula rise" He was slipping into several different accents with his irritation. "Then again that is not as important as HES ALIVE AGAIN" He went back to pacing and was grumbling in Russian. The reaction was one that would probably mean different things to the different people in the room. It was so quick and so humorless...so very unlike him. This was him angry...something none of them had really seen in his human state. He had barely heard the vampire say he wasn't going to harm anyone. But that was before he held him.

Sasha O'Neill & Jean Belair

Sasha looked at the young man who spoke. He looked like he could be her little brother but she knew looks could be deciving with vampire's. It could very well be that he was already four times her age. She listened silently, her face not giving away even the slightest emotions. Jean on the other hand seemed to be a bit angry and pressed his hand on his neck. Their eye's crossed and he nodded no, trying to tell her that she should not trust him. Her eye's widened as he told her someone had ordered to kill her and inmediatly flashback to what had happend in the mine came running back to her, making her tremble for a bit.

She was shocked to see Vladimir angry like that, she had never seen him like that before. Sashas head stated to hurt as Vlad houted around the room. Jean, who saw what it was doing to Sasha, rushed to Vlad and tried to calm him. If this Vampkid was right than perhaps he as well should reveal somehting else. It was such a weird coincedence that Sasha had owned the Harker knife, while he had the knife that belonged to Quincy once. He had plucked it of the corps of a dead vampire hunter once. The woman had helped him track down a vampire but Jean had to kill her in the end. To keep secrecy.

''Vladimir calm down. First of all awe need to look at the facts. So Dracula is back, next step figuring out where he is. But first Sasha needs to heal, and it won't help if you shout like that''

''Vladimir, can you help me'' Sasha said akward as she had used the shift of attention to swing her legs out of the bed and had tried to stand up in order to reach Vladimir. Unsteady she stood besides her bed, leaning heavy on the thing.

Sasha looked at Grant and closed her eye's.
''mister Holiday. I do not give my information away for free. I want two things in return for this information, that may or may not contain her current location, if she has not moved yet. I want all the information you have about Dracula, and...I want to know how you got my private number?''

"Ben, I need you to help me get out of here with Rick. I need to find a safe place to go. Do you know of anywhere he can't summon me from?" Nora was pretty sure that there was no place that he couldn't summon her from. She looked at Rick and feared for their future. She was pretty certain that Dracula was going to be smitten with Piper and he was most likely going to kill Nora giving him the ability to summon Piper.

He listened to what Nora had to say. “Well, I don’t think I can keep you guys safe from summoning..” He thought again, folding his arms while he did that. He had a list of names in his head. Names of persons, or safehouses where the two could live. “But I know a couple of persons who own several safehouses..” Let’s see…maybe it was good to assign a safehouse to them, rather than to let them life with a person. That way, they had more freedom in their ways, and they could really do whatever they pleased. The safehouse had to be far from cities now with the whole bloodcompact broken…Then he remembered a Vampire. The Vampire was a women named Carina Rojas. She managed a small village in the Andes mountains. The village was very secretive, since it was build inside of a mountain. This village was existing solely of Vampires. He knew Carina as a very kind person, who would be more than willing to take Rick and Nora in. He smiled. And what better safehouse could there be, then a whole village full of Vampires? “The best I can think of right now is a certain person I know in Chile…” He got a piece of paper, and wrote down an address on it. The address was a bar somewhere in Santiago, the capital city of Chile. “Travel to this address. Ask for a women named Carina and say that Winter is coming. They will get the message. After that, you will see what I mean.” He looked at Nora and sighed. “It’s not much, but it’s something.” He really wished he could do more for Nora. However, given her bond with Dracula, there wasn’t really much he could do for her right now.

Violet sat at the cafe in town not too far from her house and she read the newspaper. The headlines every day were about the bomb in New York and about the continuing outbreaks of riots and murders of vampires and humans alike all across the country. She shook her head and finished her coffee then she headed home. As soon as she got there she summoned Nora. She knew there were rumors about Vladimir Dracula returning from the dead and she sighed knowing he had to be behind the blood compact being broken. If anyone knew for certain it would be Nora.

---

Nora was still talking to Ben when she was summoned. "Oh no...Ben I'm being summoned...by Violet. Come with me! She is a good vampire you will like her."

Ben frowned a little when he heard the name. Violet? Where did he heard this name before... "Well, sure thing Nora." Let's just see who this Violet was, and why the name sounded familair. It could be a trap from Dracula...By his knowledge, there weren't that many Vampires who could summon other Vampires at will. Unless they were powerful. But he trusted Nora. He knew her long enough to know that this wasn't a trap. Otherwise he would have had a bad feeling. He now had a..iniviting feeling. Like he knew that this event might give rise to new world lines.

Violet lived about an hour and a half by car away from Nora. She knew her summons would be received as she could laready feel her getting closer. Violet went into her living room and flopped onto the couch and when the doorbell rang she got up and walked to the door while still watching the tv. She was laughing when she opened the door. Stepping aside she let Nora in and saw that she wasn't alone. She allowed Ben in as well, curious who he was.

"Please sit, Nora..." She turned to Ben and offered her hand. "I'm Violet Braddock and you are?"

While he was sitting in the car next to Nora, he thought of how long it has been since he had gotten himself into a car. It was still a weird experience. As if he was sitting in a box that was driving at a very high speed. He got out of the car and followed Nora to the door. Still curious for this Violet person. When the door was opened, he smilled and gave a friendly nod to the person opening the door. This must be this Violet. His one eye still curious looking to the person. "Ben Winters. Nice meeting ya."

Violet smiled, "Please sit...Can I offer you anything?" Nora smiled and shook her head. "I'm okay." She looked at Ben "...would you like some blood?" She saw his head movement and she sat in her rocking chair and said, "I need to know, is he back from the dead Nora?"

Nora's expression became that of one in fear of her life. She nodded. "Yes and he wants to kill me and my husband. And he wants to take my hybrid daughter as his own so he can try to rule the werewolves."

Violet nodded, "It would be a smart plan if it were capable of working. Foolish as he is he thinks that he can kidnap one and the others will fall in line and obey him." She chuckled in genuine laughter.

"Is he responsible for the blood compact being broken?" Nora nodded. She had to take responsibility for her part. "He made me put the bomb in place." Nora looked her in the eye so she would know she wasn't lying."

Violet sighed. "Well Mr. Winters? What do you think should be done about him?"

Ben nodded at the invitation of Violet. You never knew what kind of blood that was. He never trusted blood that was offered to him. He quietly sat down, and began to listen to what Nora and Violet had to say to each other. Ah..so ths is what was happening all the time. He chuckled when he heard about Nora and Dracula. This was quite interesting to hear. So she was the cause that this new worldline had been risen. Intresting. Very intersting indeed.

"Well, I think that that old geezer needs to learn that he just can't go about like he owns the place. So I think it is clear that we should do something." He sat back and folded his arms. "He is a disturbance for this world line." He said it without a sense of emotion in his voice. Clearly a sign that he wished to eliminate Dracula.

"However, I agree with Violet that he can't rule the werewolves just by kidnapping one of their own. Especially if it's only a young pup. So I think there might be more behind it then just claiming a pup." This was just a wild guess. He turned to Nora. "Aren't there anymore specific persons he wishes to destroy, eradicate, something like that?"

Nora looked at Ben. "If given the chance he wants to enslave the humans so we would have a permanent blood supply open to us. He wants to kill the werewolves. All of them...." Nora stopped a look of dawning on her face.

"Not all of them. Piper is still alive, she can still have children. She was werewolf before vampire so her wolf kept her healed and she is still human in that respect. If he can procreate with Piper and breed a new species of vampire/wolf he could rule all the races and eat anything they want and walk in the daylight having the best of both worlds. That is why he wants her!" She looked at Violet. "We have to stop him or the race of vampires we are will be destroyed."

Violet listened and nodded. "And if he turned wolves he could have them breed as well and he would be their maker and untouchable....basically. Do we know how he came back to begin with?"
Nora said, "There was something about a witch using some kind of demonic magic."
Violet nodded, "of course there was..." She put her feet down and looked at Ben. "Any ideas?"

Ben nodded at what Nora said. "Of course." Werewolves and Vampires were enemy by nature. But why give in to such primitive drifts? Another reason that stated that Vampires were still animals as well. He continued to listen. That old geezer really wanted to play god now did he? Selective breeding and such. He sighed. This is what happens when intersting individuals got too much powers. You get triggers for worldline such as Nora stated. Really dangerous.

He whistled when he heard about the magic part. So magic hadn't died out at all..very interesting indeed...That gave him an idea. "So we just have to fight magic with magic right? Wasn't there some sort of magic weapon that was used to like I don't know. Seal him away? A knife or a stick?" It helped that Dracula was a Vampire as well. Because of that, Ben knew which ways you could possibly kill him. Even if this was a magicly reincarnated powerful Vampire. The idea was the same. You just needed the right tools to do the same job.

Violet nodded. "That sounds plausible, I have worked with witches in the past and there is no way to guarantee that he can't be killed again other than the fact that he might have learned a thing or two from dying the first time. But...so have we. This time we will burn his remains to ash. Has anyone spoken to the council of elder vampires?"

Nora dropped her head again and nodded. "I did, they attacked us because I took Piper with me. Shortly after we left Dracula had most of the council murdered. There is truly a deficit of authority right now in our world."

Violet sighed. "Okay then, I'll have to summon some elders that I know and we'll have to save Piper and kill Dracula and burn his body. Sounds like a plan to me. If most of the vampire world, humanity and the werewolves are after him he will have nowhere to hide." She smiled and stood up. I have plenty of room here if you are afraid to go home."

Nora nodded and said, "My husband?" Violet nodded. "Yes, he may come as well." Nora nodded and smiled. She pulled out her cell phone and texted Rick to join her as soon as he could.

"So Mr. Winters...will you stay and help me carry out what needs to be done?"

He chuckled. When he heard about the witches. So they still do exist indeed. Explained a lot of certain happenings in the past. He continued to listen. Ben's jaw dropped a little bit when he heard about the council. "He what?" he said this more agitated then he wanted. He was aware of this after he said it, and regained his calmness, by sighing deeply. Well was he glad that he declined that invitation by not coming. He decided to listen further. Not saying a word.

He nodded at Violets question to him. "Of course. This disturbance needs to be stopped. I have some ideas, but I prefer to say it when the other elders are here." He knew that the weapon used to kill Dracula in the first place had to be in this world somewhere...but where?

Violet nodded understanding his position. "Sounds good." Her doorbell rang and three men entered and sat down and looked at Violet with a smile. She gave them each a $100 dollar bill and turned to Nora and Ben.

"Please be kind in your feeding and heal them afterwards." Violet was very kind and only drank what she needed never putting her donors in danger. She immediately healed him afterwards. Each of the men stood up and one went to Nora and the other to Ben and offered their blood. "No worries, as part of our arrangement they are clean and checked out to be disease free every three months."

Ben was a little bit suprised when he saw three humans entering. After Violet's words, he understood. Still, it has been a while since he had human blood, and he believed Violet on her words. He sat his teeth in the flesh of the man before him, and drank a fair share. Not to much, since he felt that his bloodlust was coming up for a moment. He then healed the man afterwards. He smiled human blood still was one of the best bloodkinds he had ever tasted. "Thanks. I really needed that."

Nora smiled at her donor and drank her fill and healed him immediately. She liked the way Violet did things. She was up front about it but businesslike as well. Maybe she could learn a few things from her. Violet had the master bedroom upstairs and told the to choose whatever other bedroom they would like. The windows were all tinted and blacked out for her guests. Nora was just grateful that Violet was going to help.

Rick looked back at Nora and swallowd. Ben's idea wasn't that bad but it would mean theh would have to leave.
"of you want to leave we shall Nora, but I don't think it will be good for us if we are forced to move again and ahain, fleeing from his clutches. We can join hands and flight. Remember that niece of mine I once told you about, the reporter that Grant ia after right now, she posesses one of the three weapons used to kill Dracula back in the 1800. I am sure we can we can try to track down the other weapons and kill him again with them" Rick said, wrapping his hand around her shoulder. He as well feared that his wife would be ripped away from him.

" Nora, teach me how to use my vampire powers. I have yet to figure out how-to-vamp" He grinned akward, admitting he was but a youngling with no experience.

---

Later that day, Nora had left again with Ben. He sat alone in his chair, drinking slowly from a glass of fresh blood. His phone vibrated, and as he read the text he rushed out of the house, his little wife needed him again. He felt usefull and happy again.

Nora hugged Rick to her. "I'm glad you got here as quickly as you did. This is only temporary darling. We will go home but after he is gone. I have sent word to Barkley and Ophelia so that they can close the house down til we get back." She smiled slightly. "I think Grant is trying to get information from her now."

Nora looked at him and said, "First we have to figure out what your vampire powers are?" She pulled him outside and pointed to the car. "You should be able to pick up the car and run at least 50 mph. Most vampires are very sensitive to sunlight and it can kill most of us in moments. There are many things that some can do but not others. Like most of us can hear exceptionally well."
Nora brought in another young man for Rick to feed on. "Violet is a very smart woman." As soon as Rick was done feeding Nora paid the man and he left and she closed the door.

Grant Holiday

Grant smiled ever so slightly as the elder vampire threw his little fit. He understood that anyone who once knew him or was old enough to hear of him from someone who knew him had this reaction, generally speaking. When he grabbed him, Grant pocketed his hand around the syringe of dead mans blood, and nearly used it but held back at the last second. This was not the time. Grant took a second while the vampire who held him and calmed himself internally. Grant relaxed his muscles, and opened his mind and all his senses. Holding him was acceptable, but if the vampire made any sort of extra actions were taken, if he was actually threatened in any way shape or form he would not hesitate but debilitate him.

"While I do understand the anger you are feeling, the reaction appropriate it would do you well to release me if you please. Attempting to free me of this immortal coil is a nice offer, but the dilema you face is I do not fear death."

Grant looked over at Sasha.

"My dear, I solemly swear I am full of nothing but the most honest intentions. I do not have any information on Dracula written down, but if you wanted I have an idea about that. Now or later does not matter. I believe and interview with me, about Dracula would allow me to answer any questions. As to how I obtained your number, Lets just say my first spawned gave it to me, with nothing but the most honest intentions as well."

Grant eyed the room, detecting every weakness this room contained. He turned back to Vladimir.

"My good man, if you were trying to protect this women, I believe you will surely fail from an assassins view point. You may be strong and fast, and may kill the assassin, but I see for a fact any assassin would be able to complete their objective. Why not move Miss Sasha? If you would permit it There is a manor not too far from here that contains the necessary security. Sort of my base of operations."

@blackpanther@ojo chan 42

@Ojo chan 42@dabombjk
Vladimir inhaled and rolled his shoulders. His eyes slowly became grey once more. He nodded to Jean and went to Sasha when she asked for help. His thoughts plagued with questions on how the leech was alive again. He snapped his focus to grant and felt a growl emit from his throat.

He made sure Sasha was able to lean on the bed before slowly walking to grant. He tilted his head. "why should I trust you...a vampire. Who does not even seem to know what exactly I am." he crossed his arms. "since you are trying to give an assassins view point...what am I? What is my weakness?" he circled grant before standing in from of him once more. "Would the dead man's blood in your pocket I can smell so well affect me even a little?" he smelled the blood as soon as he had held the vampire. Being angry he had become more sensitive to scents.

Vladimir was testing grant. His voice was cool and soft. His head tilted to one side exposing the silver hoop as he asked these questions. A vampire assassin was a very curious thing to him....but then again he used to be a werewolf vampire hunter. Before he become a hybrid and therefore became neutral. Giving protection to mostly humans...or anyone who paid. He then ended up with soldier...becoming a weapon for them. Now he was here...focused on protecting his love. Questioning a vampire calling themselves an assassin.

Grant Holiday

Grant did not flinch, he did not breathe, he did not move. This suprised him, knowing the blood was in his pocket and his line of questioning was odd. Most people would not react this way. Something about him was off to him. Nothing about he seemed.......normal. Grant softly took in a deep breath. His senses may not be legendary, but they were far superb to the average vampire. His sense of smell in particular were most......specific. Grant could smell every ounce of blood in the building. Every cockroach, every chemical, nothing could escape his nose. Grant came to the smells from the room. To him the man who brought him here smelled more or less average. Sasha smelled to him of......he wasn't sure. An average smell but not an average smell. He would need to make sure he never turned his back to her. And she also carried a bit of........no that was impossible. He looked at Sasha and eyed her stomach for a millisecond, then turned his attention to Vladimir. He came to his stomach and every muscle in his hand flexed at the same time. He smelled almost like Piper, except for the fact he wasn't.....as sweet smelling. Nothing about him drew him to him.

"Ah I see."

Grant took out of syringe of dead mans blood and offered to his Vladimir.

"you might as well take this. Dead mans blood does not work against hybrids. I discovered this when I was given the task of eliminating my soul mate from Dracula. Thankfully I was able to avoid the outcome he favored. He truly hates hybrids though. You and I will talk about that at a later date though. As to your weaknesses...."

Grant took a millisecond to look him over.

[colors=004b80]"You favor your dominant hand too much. While your senses seem to be extraordinary and you are a hybrid your weakness if you more than anything. Normal werewolf/vampire weapons won't work against you, so if you were to fall it would be to predictability. The marks on your hands are a dead give away, or rather the marks and the marks that don't exist on your hands give it away. [/color]

Grant took in another breath.

"your blood is very rich. And has a certain......aroma......ha your a what's it called.....a vanhelsing aren't you? I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that correctly. It's been awhile since I've tangled with your kind."

Grant looked around

"as to the rooms weaknesses I could go on forever."

Sasha O'Neill&Jean Belair

Sasha felt the strenght slowly leave her legs as her blood loss hasn't healed quite enough. Sitting down she eyed Grant and sighed as he and Vladimir got into a battle of wits N words. He felt off to her, and she wondered who his first spawn ws that he or she posessed her private number.

''Mister Holiday'' Sasha said stern, a certain coldness she had never showed before playing in her voice. Jean looked at her suprised, having never heard this perticular tune in her voice before. ''The only ones who posess that number are some friends at Beer N bite, my boss, Jean and my family. I highly suggest you give me the name of your first spawn right here right now''As she spoke her eye's held a fire. She was a tad angry for she had a feeling it was one of her family members. Her friends at beer n bite were scatterd around after the attack of Calis , her boss was already a demon so he would be able to get himself out of that, so seeign as Jean was still very much human ony her family was left.

''who was it that you turned and what was the reason why he chose to be turned. It better be good Mister Holiday''

@dabombjk@Ojo chan 42
Vladimir shook his head when offered the dead man's blood. He wasn't about to take that...though he did raise a brow as grant answered the questions fully. His mouth twitched when grant said his last name. "My full name is Vladimir Von Helsing. You were close on pronouncing it" He rolled his shoulders as he studied Grant once more. "as for going with you...that is up to Sasha and Jean"

He then turned when he heard Sasha speak. Her voice held a bite that caused a flicker of surprise to go through his eyes. He made his way to her side and crossed his arms once more. It was her turn to ask the questions. He would now be silent. Visible grey eye fixed on Grant.

Grant Holiday

Grant looked at Sasha questioningly, and for a moment he knew not what to do. He looked at Vladimir and spoke.

"She is stubborn, no?"

Grant looked back at Sasha.

"If I could you I would. But it is not my story to tell. I believe you are also one who enjoys adventures of the litterary nature as much as I. So would you like to read a book chapter by chapter, combing over the details? Or would you rather skip to the end of the chapter then read it? If I was to tell you everything right here, It would only confuse you and more than likely end with a mistunderstanding. But I am more than happy to take you to him. I am not your enemy."

Grant pocketed his dead man bloods, then eyed the situation. He could see the hybrid keeping himself open for battle, while at the same time trying to give off a normal appearance. He would be ready to fight. Sasha was filled with a fire that if not controlled would spread. She had a hunger in her eyes, and with her allies Grant imagined she could get whatever she wanted. He had to hope he played his cards right and that her sense of discovery and journalism would over come any sudden impulses that she recieved emotionally. Grant held his hands up slightly.

"The only thing I desire is to help my master take down Dracula, and for me to be with my soul mate."

@blackpanther@ojo chan 42

@dabombjk@BlackPanther

Sasha O'Neill&Jean Belair

Sasha squeezed her fists tight as Grant just refused to co-operate with her right now. She was concerned and curious at the same time, and anyone who knew Sasha well enough knew that that combination was not good.

"Sasha, don't" Jean said. Je felt like he had become the calm down guy right now. Sasha looked at him and nodded." I know, I need to rest" Sasha closed her eyes and grabbed the shirt of Vladimir.

" Mister Grant, I give you one last change to give me a name. I promise I wilk not pull assumtions and let them backfire on you. I want a name, until I get that I will not move.

" kidd just give her the name, you won't win a discussion with her. I am a prime example of that. She convinced me to become a photographer for her" Jean grinned. He was sure both Vlad and Grant had some sort of an idea what his job before this one was.

Grant Holiday

Grant looked from Sasha, to Vladimir, to Jean and for a moment he was ready to either say nothing or say something clever but sighed and gave in.

"I shall give in to your relentless gaze only this once, for my need for the information I seek far outweighs anything else. Also I am sure he will not mind."

Grant looked Sasha in the eyes.

"The man who presented me with the digital code to reach out to you, his name is Rick Hunter. Very long story short, because I fear you will figure this out sooner than later, Mr. Hunter asked to receive the gift of the night for which I bestowed upon him. He shares his bed with a Miss Nora Baker, another vampire. Both Mr. Hunter and Miss Baker are both on our side in this matter on Dracula."

Grant held his impatience back and trusted this was enough.

"Any other questions? Time is of the essence."

@blackpanther@ojo chan 42

@Ojo chan 42@dabombjk
Vladimir remained silent still. His arms crossed and he became almost like a statue. A statue staring down grant. Though his mouth did twitch when grant replied. A small facial twitch of a smile. He tilted his head. "How exactly are you planning on going about killing Dracula?" the question seemed so random yet the hears moving in his mind were so visible in those eyes.

A strange look mixed in with those gears as if Vladimir was thinking of something. It was not really clear what exactly was being thought....but he was up to something. Part of him slipped into memories of old. Memories of long ago when he ran with a pack. So skilled in vampire slaying their name struck fear for centuries....though now only one was thought of from his pack. The trickled down Von Helsing line. Many a human shared the name...and the blood. Vladimir however, was the blood. The question that arises is...was he the Von Helsing. Could this be where the hatred for hybrids comes from? The only two that know for certain are both of the Vladimirs.

@dabombjk@BlackPanther

Sasha O'Neill&Jean Belair

''Rick...Hunter?...'' Sasha said questionable while tilting her head slightly. ''I do know a Rick but not a Rick Hunter'' Sasha smiled, just the thought alone was ridiculus to her. Her cousin Rick would never turn into a vampire.
''You don't mean...with any change my cousin... Rick Hoover?'' An akward giggle could be heard as she looked at her sheets, their weird color white had all of the sudden become really interesting to look at. ''Rick...a vampire....'' with a deep breath followed by a sigh Sasha took control of her emotions and looked at Grant.

''I will leave this to the side for now. I will speak with Rick ASAP, but first you wished to have the information of Angelica did you. Unfortunatly I do not have it with me, since I prefer to work with paper and pen I have stored the information in my co-office at the Montreal daily news paper building. It is safe there, only me and Jean have the keys to that place. But as you can see I am rather restrained to my bed right now''
''Lassy, that will be no problem. I can take the kidd with me to montreal and drive back here. Drive, kidd. I have found out I am not to keen on being carried by the supernatural'' Jean spoke thinking back about the times he got carried by Vlad and the werewolf who's name he did not quite get.

''As for killing Dracula, why the heck not. If it can help the current situation to be solved I will help the best I can. But Vladimir is right, we need a plan''

Sasha nodded and she shifted her gaze towards Vladimir. He seemed lost in thought and Sasha decided to soflty take his hand in hers.
''Earth to Vladimir'' She said soft as she looked at him.
''Coming back on your previous question Vlad, I see no reason why we cannot help him. I won't mind going with him as well as long as you ae with me''

Piper received Nora's summons as she walked outside. Dantis and she had spoken for a while and then she went out to do a perimeter walk. Nora's summons was weaker in her wolf form. She still felt the need to get to her urgently but when in human form it will urgently propel her in her direction. She could actually choose not to respond in wolf form.

Piper went back to her new pack and gathered them and set off to Nora's location. Piper wondered where she was at and let the summons guide her. Her second in command was named Ian and he was fierce. He seemed reluctant to obey her but he did so. He watched her keep them in line and when they went to Violet's house and he realized she was a vampire he was tempted to attack her and her visitors. Piper bared her fangs at him and let him know that she was not putting up with foolishness. The entire pack bowed to her and she watched as Ian did too. Once she was satisfied she turned human and walked naked into Violet's house.

"Nora?" Piper called out. "Ahh, Piper." Violet appeared with a robe for her. "Nora sent for you because she and Rick are here until we kill Dracula. I take it by the scent outside that you brought your pack with you. I'm Violet by the way." Piper nodded as she slipped on the robe and tied it. Rick and Ben were in the other room past Violet. "Yes, I did. They are staying outside though. They are under orders to stay close and ready to fight a moment's notice." Piper walked past Violet and into the other room. "Rick? Ben? Are you guys okay? How is Nora? Have you heard from Grant?"

@ojo chan 42@mrzerkon@blackpanther@dabombjk

Rick Hoover

Rick looked at Piper as she asked them if they were okay.
''I am okay. Still getting used to this bity situation of mine. Nora is upstairs, I guess I tired her out tonight'' Rick grinned as he tought back about their little session they had not so long ago. Now that he was a vampire Nora could actually go all out on him, no longer needing to hold back in order for her human lover to keep up. He as well enjoyed it as he was finnaly able to please her with all his might, and this time actually seeing it having affect on her.

He still had to get used to a lot, even the drinking of human blood was a strange sensation to him. He had to be carefull not to slip to deep into his hunger for the vitae.

Grant Holiday

Grant sighed mentally. They were wasting so much time. Why did people insist on talking so much? Grant looked at Vladimir when he spoke.

"My master only shares parts of his plan, not the entire plan in the off chance I am captured by Dracula. I can only guess this women is important, maybe extremely powerful. I also wish I had more to go on nut it is what it is."

Grant looked at Jean.

"Time really is of the essence. We must leave at once."
