t H E h U N T {Vampire/Slayer 1x1 with Areater}

[Areater]

James thought, But here you are about to kill me. Wow. Then he heard the rustling in the bushes and his eyes trained on it, then flashed back to her smiling face. Before he could do anything, he was surrounded. Cursing under his breath, he watched as the first slayer brought the arrow away from his head, put away her weapons, and, wearing a smile, left. He glanced down to see Oscar gone and hoped he wouldn't lead her home. He was going to need a miracle to get out of this one. Taking a small step back, he looked around at the weapons around him. Which one would be the easiest to take down, if he had to?

Once Carlie was away from the madness, she sighed. Now what should she do? The whole group was there, so she couldn't go back to where they had slept last night, but she wanted to do something useful. She heard a miaow, and turned to see one of the cats from earlier nearby. At least it wasn't within firing range of the others. The cat padded off into the bushes, so Carlie decided to follow it.

[Areater]

It was all quite sudden. One of the younger slayers, maybe the youngest, stepped forward, wielding a holy-water soaked stake. Twice as deadly. Before he even had time to think, James somehow had him on the ground with his stake rolling away on the slightly titled ground. Then, before anybody could stop him, he had his jaws wrapped around the slayer's throat. Somebody screamed, though he didn't know who. It might have been one of the other slayers, it might have been the one he was biting. Sinking his fangs deep, he gulped down the hot liquid until the beating of the slayer's heart faded away to nothing. Killed from bloodloss. Scrambling to his feet, he growled, a guttural sound that sounded like nothing more than an animal's. His fangs showed, red and bloody. "Alright, who's next?"

After a few minutes of digging through the undergrowth, Carlie heard a scream. She paused for a few moments, knowing that it was one of theirs, before continuing after the cat. Soon they reached a clearing, in which stood a little house. The vampire's. She stepped forward cautiously, and peeked inside to see five or so cats in the living room. Obviuosly when he had found out that they were here, he had tried to keep his cats safe from harm. She opened the unlocked door a bit a stroked one's head, hearing it purr happily. She smiled.

James had definitely succeeded in making the slayers wary and maybe a bit scared, but they were also mad. Really mad. He barely had time to dodge all of the weapons the came flying at him at once, more than one slashing him on the sides of his arms or legs. Nothing bad, of course, but enough to cause a reasonable sting. He was good, though, and most of the slayers were just fueled by anger. He could have killed another, if he tried hard enough, but he opted not to. He didn't want to give them yet another reason to want him dead.

Carlie decided to quickly have a look around inside. After checking that there was an unlocked window she could fit through if she needed to escape, she went in and closed the door behind her. The cats were slightly wary of her, but at least they weren't attacking. She explored the house, and it looked pretty normal, nothing out of the ordinary. Tins of cat food in the pantry. A few more cats. She wondered what was happening back with the vampire.

[Areater]

James finally escaped the group of angry slayers, running through the forest. Once he verified that he had lost them, he wiped the blood smeared on his mouth and started back home, as quickly as he could, in case the slayer had made it there. He didn't have anything to hide, but he didn't want her to lead them back to his house to kill him. He didn't want to lose his cabin because it was no longer safe.

After scouting the whole house and not finding anything suspicious, Carlie decided it should be time to get out. She hadn't heard anything, and really didn't want to be there when the vampire returned. She climbed out the window, closing it behind her. She then dug through the brush until she fund a good tree. She climbed it to get a better view of where the others were. She spotted them, where she had met the vampire, but the vampire wasn't there anymore. She was glad she had left the cabin when she did.

{I'll be going away for about six days from sometime tomorrow, just to let you know, and I probably won't have wi-fi}

[Areater]

As James got home, he scouted the whole area. He found some crushed plants, from a shoe that was not his, hardly a yard away from his house. He had exceptional observation skills. Growling in anger, he picked up a rock and threw it into the bushes. "Where are you?" he growled. The couldn't have gone far, she had to be nearby. He had it up to here with slayers for today. He'd lived here most of his vampire life, and now he had lost that in less than a day. "I've already killed one of you, I could do it again!" he threatened, voice rising. James wasn't even sure he was talking to anybody, judging by how far she had gotten. But he was mad, and truthfully he hardly cared right now. Not bothering to go inside, he leaned against the frame of the door and stared into the forest.

{{ Okay, thanks for telling me! }}

Carlie heard a rock flying into the bushes and the vampire's angry yells, and it didn't sound like he was lying when he said he had already killed one of them. She silently moved from tree to tree, getting as far away as possible from him. If he evaded everybody else, he could just as easily evade her. When she was at what she decided was a safe distance, she thought about what she was going to do. the obvious answer was to tell the others where the house was, so they could do, well, she didn't really know. What about the cats? They would most likely be killed. Did she want that?
