Sighing Ashtin turned from leaning on his arm to on his back by her door and slowly slid to sit on the ground as he heard the door shut. Her words echoed through his head, so far he hasn't seen many friendly humans, in fact in his memory she was the only one he would consider tolerable. Pulling his legs in closer to his chest he rested his arms upon his knees letting out another sigh. When the sun was closer to coming up he would have to take refuge some where else, but he was uncertain if he should leave her here unguarded if they happen to be followed to his hideout.

 

well, he thought to himself, for now I'll just be alert for any danger and grab her if need be and run.

 

Ashtin started to remember some of what his parents taught him. If he showed honor, then he would receive honor in return. Hostility was met with hostility, and so on so forth. For now he figured he would start off back on the path his parents set for him, and watch over this human, for now anyways.

Conrad cursed silently to himself as suddenly Jericho and another lad got involved in the fight. He was unable to take his shot, and it wasn't long until the prey had disappeared.

 

Suddenly, his cell phone began to ring and he answered it quickly, walking out of the stadium. He kept knocking metalheads over as they got in his way, he didn't care about anything right now, only that the prey had gotten away, and SOMEONE was going to pay for that.

 

"Stevenson. What am I here for? Are there any werewolves around?"

 

"Vladimir...it seems I have encountered some...but my comrades are both incomepetant and stupid...they got in the way of the hunt. They'll pay."

 

He growled and knocked over another teenage metalhead, sending the boy straight into a food stand.

 

"You are here to assist in this hunt...I want you to get a posse together, begin checking apartment complexes 449 Huntington Drive and 3345 Jackson Way, off the Highway. I've been tracking these complexes for awhile, there are vampires there for sure...and perhaps werewolves. I have an ID on some of them, check your email for some more discreet info on that. I can't talk much longer, the local authorities dislike my work here, so this line may be tapped. Check those complexes."

 

He then hung up quickly, there wasn't much that he could trust right now, everyone was in position to try and crush Conrad and his organization. He would slaughter those people.

 

He moved quickly through the crowd, until he saw a peculiar group of teenagers.

 

They were with the girl who had been kidnapped by the Vampire.

 

He walked towards them.

 

"Wait, are you looking for your friend? I recognize you kids, and it seems we've had a problem, some sort of problem in the stadium."

 

Conrad took out a forged police ID and badge, showing it to them.

 

"Officer Jared Conklin, here to help."

 

It helps to get around, and Conrad had a thousand well-crafted IDs just like this one.

As Moxie laid on the bed with the covers over her, she thought about her parents. She remembered those days she spent with them. Going places, making jokes, telling her what's right, protecting her. She slowly closed her hazel eyes.

 

Six years ago...

 

"Sweetie? you okay?" Her mother's voice said. She was 11-years-old, living with her parents.

 

"Yes ma'am. I'm fine," Moxie would answer. But deep inside, she was always shy.

 

Her mother, named Amelia, walked to her, and sat beside her. "You sure? I mean..." Amelia started to tickle little Moxie. "Because you don't want Mister Tickly-Tickle to get ya!" As her mother tickled her Moxie began to laugh.

 

Once the tickling stopped, Moxie hugged Amelia. "I love you, mommy..."

 

Present day...

 

Moxie sobbed sadly, thinking about all the wonderful times she had. "Mom. Daddy!" She cried sorrowfully through tears.

 

(Meanwhile)

 

"Wait, are you looking for your friend? I recognize you kids, and it seems we've had a problem, some sort of problem in the stadium." The man showed them a police badge with an ID. "Officer Jared Conklin, here to help."

 

Sonya smiled. "Oh good. A police. Yes sir, we do need help. Our friend's been kidnapped by some... strange monster guy."

The stench of the sewers was enough to make anyone gag, but to be inside with your face inches away from the murky water was a whole different level. This was Jericho's current situation, and it wasn't improving. Not only had he lost where the vampire could have gone but he was also trapped in the maze of the sewers. He had been searching for some time now and couldn't find any trace of vampire. He stopped himself for a second and remembered that he had that girl with him. He had been using his eyes to see in the dark when he should have used his glasses to find traces of the girl. He put the glasses on and smiled a hand print was lit against one of the walls. He smiled as he began to follow the occasional hand print he saw. The smile was quickly taken away as he thought about what would happen to the poor girl if he didn't get to her in time. He moving until he reached a wall with no other way out. He looked around puzzled for a few seconds before he climbed the wall. He began to feel the wall until he found something odd. One part of the wall felt seperated from the rest of the wall. He couldn't pull it or he'd fall back into the sewer. Kicking it might make it fall back into place so he attempted to push it out of the way. To his surprise the rock moved with ease and there was somesort of room on the other side. He put his special sunglasses in his pocket and jumped through the hole. He pulled out both his revolvers and began to search the room.

 

Time for the hunt

 

John was a little uneasy about the cop. First off John had a gun and secondly he didn't recall seeing this cop anywhere during the vampire skirmish.

 

"To be specific the thing was a vampire. Believe what you want but I was there officer and I know what I saw."

His legs were stretched out in front of him as Ashtin say by the door to the room Moxie was currently using. Something about that girl was either odd or familiar to him he couldn't really figure it out. And that fact frustrated him as he traced his memories. Unfortunately he was active for so long that as time passed he erased things that no longer held any interest to him. Ashtin let out a soft sigh of frustration as he rested his right arm on top of his right knee, the back of his head resting against the wooden wall. Slowly he closed his eyes listening to the heart beat of the female was now in possession of.

 

Her heart beats at time were earatic, and quick, Ashtin figured she was either remembering something exciting or heartbreaking. Noticing the smell of the sewer was getting stronger a small grin formed on the left corner of his mouth. Ashtin wanted to allow Moxie the time to rest and regain her strength as much as she possible could before he had to wake her if the danger to her was going to be intense.

 

Dammit..., Ashtin thought angrily to himself, why do I feel this need to protect her? She is food....nothing but food... but.... In his frustration Ashtin raised his left hand and made a fist before smashing it down into the floor splintering the wood from the impact.

 

Humans are so.... confusing...

In his search, Jericho was startled by the sound of something breaking. He made his way up the stairs of the room and began searching. He moved so swiftly that he couldn't hear his own footsteps. After an intense search he finally spotted the vampire he was looking for. He aimed both his revolvers at the vampire and took another step towards him.

 

"Don't move vampire. You think you can take a human girl, feed on her, and walk away just like that?!?! You may have gotten this girl but I won't let you take another."

 

Just then he heard crying in the other room. Jericho gave the vampire a confused look. He lowered his aim but he kept his guns in his hands.

 

"Wait...the girl is still alive? You actually let her live, why?"

Ashtin slowly raised his head and looked at the guns the half-breed was pointing towards him. Letting out a soft laugh he started shaking his head and returning his sight to the floor. Ashtin gave props to the half-breed for being persistent, but would his persistence pay off in the end. Slowly Ashtin raised himself off the ground and crossed his arms over his chest and laid his back against the wall. Then he watched as his hunter lowered his aim.

 

"Wait...the girl is still alive? You actually let her live, why?"

 

Smiling, Ashtin turned his head towards Jericho and tilted it slightly to the left. His senses much be weak if he couldn't notice the girl was alive when he entered his home. Of course Ashtin figured he was expecting to much from the half-breed standing before him.

 

"Do you think you could be a little more quiet? She is trying to sleep." Ashtin said to Jericho. "At first my intention was on killing her. But after the display at the Stadium, you could say I lost my appetite." Ashtin let out another sigh "I suppose you can wake her and ask her if she wants to leave. That choice is completely up to you."

Jericho twirled one revolver before putting it back. He looked down at himself and looked back up at the vampire.

 

"Something tells me I'd do more scaring than helping looking like this. I think you should give her that option seeing its your home. As for keeping the girl alive, I'll say you ditched the girl and I never found you."

 

Jericho knew the vampire had to eat but he also could sense something else inside of him. Other vampires would have eaten and ran with the girl but he actually let her live and gave her a room. Jericho looked up at the vampire.

 

"Come on now Dracula, what's the real reason you didn't eat her and run?"

Ashtin stood up straight away from the wall and placed his hands behind his head. Jericho asked a good questions, one Ashtin didn't have a definite answer too. Ashtin figured he could ponder about it all night or he could wake up Moxie and find out what she wanted to do.

 

"You could say there is something familare about her..." He said to Jericho figuring an answer he wasn't completely positive of was betting then no answer at all.

 

After Ashtin gave his answer he heard a large eruption at the bottom of his stairs at his front door. Slowly the smell of a warewolf filled the air. This wasn't good, if a battle took place here it would certanely have fatal consequences for Moxie.

 

Smiling he looked over at Jericho saying "I'll let you deal with your hairy partner downstairs." then slowly Ashtin turned into mist and seeped through the cracks into Moxie's room.

 

Running over towards her he slid on the ground and fell to his knees as he hand grabbed hold of her arm and started to shake her.

 

"You need to get up... Get Up!" Ashtin was starting to yell for Moxie to get up.

Moxie was asleep peacefully. It's true when they say crying so much can make you go to sleep. And with her, it was comforting.

 

She wondered if her friends were okay. If they ever found her her or not. They were like family to her. And Aunt Maria and Uncle Jesse. Will she ever see them again? If so... she'd tell them that she and her friends were out too late on accident. Make it easier for them...

 

Moxie continued to sleep in the bed, trying her best to forget the events of this night.

 

Suddenly... "You need to get up... Get Up!"

 

The young girl suddenly awoke. "A-Ashtin? What's going on?"

"A-Ashtin? What's going on?"

 

At this point Ashtin wasn't really sure if he should give her an honest answer and scare her more then she probably already was of the situation, or lie about it.

 

Yea... and what am I going to say, there is a clown down stairs handing out strange candy...

 

Shaking his head Ashtin looked into Moxie's eyes "One of the werewolves followed us and broke down my door. We need to run. It would easier if I carried you. Are you alright with that?"

 

Suddenly Ashtin looked over and noticed the werewolf was in the room with them. Well this isn't good..., quickly he grabbed Moxie into his arms and jumped away from the werewolves attacks.

 

"Well that other vampire was completly useless." he mumbled frustrated to himself.

 

Scanning the room Ashtin saw the window and made a dash towards it. He covered the human female with his arms and jumped through it and landed on the ground quickly regaining himself to start running again.

 

"Do you have any place where you can go? Some place safe for you?" He asked Moxie.

((Oh, okay. Thanks! :) ))

 

When Moxie saw a Werewolf, she screamed. But then found herself in Ashtin's arms. As he dashed off with her, he asked her a question, concerning a safe place.

 

"Do you have any place where you can go? Some place safe for you?"

 

Moxie thought about it. Then an idea came to mind. "We can go to my aunt and uncle's home. It's safe there, in the nice neighborhood."

Jericho saw the werewolf and stepped to the side allowing him to pass. He wasn't hunting this werewolf and therefore saw no point in fighting it, especially being this close. He follow after the werwolf where he saw the vampire jump with the girl. Jericho jumped after them and began to run.

 

"Do you have any place where you can go? Some place safe for you?"

 

"Give the girl to me. You'll be able to move faster without her. Besides that werewolf isn't after me. I'll get to her uncle's house!" Jericho shouted.

Ashtin looked at Jericho, then over at Moxie. He didn't completely trust this other vampire but he had a point, having to carry Moxie was slowing him down. Reluctantly he handed over Moxie to Jericho.

 

As he was handing the female over Ashtin said slightly threatening "You harm her in any way. I'll make sure my last breath is spent ripping your head off of your shoulders."

 

Once he finished speaking Ashtin lept up into the air and started to run along the roof tops of the buildings. He needed some place that was more open then the city streets to fight the werewolf, some place like a park. Ashtin just hopped that there was one some place like that near by.

Jericho took hold of the girl and took off in the other direction away from the werewolf. He kept running but took a quick look back at the vampire.

 

"I'm not going to hurt you, I'd never bring harm to a human or let harm be done by another. I wouldn't have followed you through the sewers if I wasn't telling the truth. My name is Jericho and I work for an organization that hunts supernaturals. Now you mentioned your uncle's home, just tell me where that is and I'll get you there. Do you want to call him?"

"To be specific the thing was a vampire. Believe what you want but I was there officer and I know what I saw."

 

Conrad could tell that the teen could tell something was wrong with this scenario. And he didn't like the rifle that the teen carried. Conrad fixed him with a you have no idea who you're dealing with glare. If he was like any other teen, he would be intimidated and back off.

 

"Well, it seems you guys are watching the horro movies a bit much. Does this girl have any cell phone of some sort? Maybe you should give her a call."

 

He knew that wherever the girl was, the vampire or werewolf would be, or she would at least know where they were. If she didn't cooperate when he asked...well, Conrad had his ways.

John looked back at the cop who was now giving him a death glare. Rather than glare back he just stared at him and smiled.

 

"Well, it seems you guys are watching the horro movies a bit much. Does this girl have any cell phone of some sort? Maybe you should give her a call."

 

"You're right officer, I'm probably just seeing things. Yeah we'll give her a call. Hey shouldn't you tell all other officers in the area that someone

s been kidnapped. Like with that radio thing you all have in your cruisers?"

This guy's a bloody smart aleck....I'm beginning to hate 'em.

 

Conrad saw through what this teen was trying to do. He wanted Conrad to foul up and spill his cover, but no, he was too smart for that.

 

"Do I look like a blue-jacket? No, I was investigating a possible drug deal in the stadium, but we've got 5 other people on the job, and this seems much more immediate...I'll contact HQ when I'm off my undercover status...let's just keep this quiet."

I want you to get a posse together, begin checking apartment complexes 449 Huntington Drive and 3345 Jackson Way, off the Highway.

 

Vladimir drank some more coffee as he heard the words of his ally.

"I hear that. I'm going to send some Spetsnaz with me. Vladimir out."

 

Vladimir ended the call, then motioned for the men near him to follow. They were all dressed in civilian outfits, but all of them were Spetsnaz agents. They ran along with Vladimir, rode into cars, then drove to the complexes mentioned.

Moxie looked up at him nervously. A man that hunts the Supernatural? She always thought the Supernatural was just misunderstood by others. She believed that they just wanted to be left alone.

 

Then she made a small smile. "Hello, Jericho. My name's Moxie Stuart. Well... my uncle lives in Forest Hills. It's just a few miles away; not far."

 

The young girl looked down. "I just hope that Ashtin's okay..."

"Forest Hills, yeah I've been there before. I'll get you there in no time."

 

He could see the concern on the girl's face and tried his best to help out.

 

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. I'll come find him after I get you back home and make sure he's still breathing. You have my word."
