"Ugh, I'm getting sick of this." Asher grumbled. He decided to follow Michael, lest he get into anymore trouble like he did with James.

"I think I see some one, over there by that tree. You go forward, I'm gona circle around."
Michael raised his gun, and moved off to the left quickly, then slowly began to flank whoever was near that tree.

Michael could see the target now, it was dark, and he couldent see many details, but it was a woman, and she didnt seem to see him, he got ready to close the distance, as soon as Asher or D got to the other side.

Michael stepped out, very slowly, "Im not a Vampire, who are you, and why are you following us?" he said, grinning to show his lack of fangs.

Victoria loward her sword, glancing between the two, eyes stopping on Michael first. "My name is Victoria Lycan. I know you guys are hunting Vamps. I want to too, so I followed you, knowing you may just run into some on your journeys."

She then turned to D," What exactly is a...Dhampir did you say?"

D sighed, then explained. "A dhampir is a cross between a vampire and human. Not much more to say about it, except that I can walk in sunlight and not worry about burning into a crisp. And I'm just as powerful, probably more, at night as a regular vampire is."

((Actually a dhampir is half vampire, half werewolf as far as I know))

Lizzie let James lead the way. The weaved their way through trees at a fast pace. Lizzie was starting to get annoyed with her skirts, she really should have worn her hunting gear. She decided that as soon as they stopped she was ripping the skirt off.

"How far away is this mansion?" Lizzie asked as she plodded along side James, his companion was just behind them.

"A couple of miles, can you keep up?" James replied.

"I'm sure I could if I can discard some of my skirt." Lizzie said.

James grinned, "Well discard away."

Lizzie rolled her eyes and unlaced the back of her bodice and released a layer of her outfit. She was down to her undergarments in no time. She'd always found it easier to roam in a petticoat anyway.

"Not shy are you?" James chuckled.

Lizzie shrugged, "I'm a practical girl."

((Sorry, I just read a book recently that referred to dhampir and they were half vampire, half werewolf. However they were born that way because of a vampire father and a mother that was a werewolf. Hence my confusion))

Lizzie looked perplexed, "What about your sense of smell."

"Depends on which way the wind is blowing." James confessed.

Lizzie shrugged, "I guess it's up to me then."

Lizzie relaxed her posture and her mind. She reached out and searched. She was looking for the tainted, that was the only way she could describe the essence of vampires. It took her a couple of minutes but she felt the brief sensation before she drew away. "I sense vampires in the East, doesn't mean they're the ones we're looking for though."

Asher came up behind the woman.

"What do you want, werewolf?" Asher demanded, holding the silver dagger he obtained from the dead vampire David, ready to strike.

In honsty, Asher was a bit surprised to learn of D's heritage. He did not have much experience with dhampirs, and most of the time they leaned towards the dark side. Indeed, this D character was becoming increasingly interesting. Asher would have to make sure to keep an eye on him.

"Come on, hurry up, tell us what your up to, or we'll be lost in this bloody forest until daybreaks." Asher growled impatiently. Lizzie and James were probably long gone already.

"Ok, exacty what are we talking about?" Michael asked, completely confused. "We need to decide what to do with her, either take her, or kill her."
As he finished saying this she glared at him.
"I say take her." Michael said quickly, eagar to avoid any more fights with werewolfs.

"Exactly where is our 'resident werewolf' and his freind? I guess that they didnt wait for us." Michael said, already moving to where the were last.

"I think our 'resident werewolf' is gone, he probly killed his 'freind' by now." Michael muttered, looking around
