They continued to walk for another few minutes before the pipe suddenly opened up into some sort of room. Brandon entered and scanned the ceiling and the room for anyone. ' What the hell? " He said in a confused manner as he looked around and noticed a couch and a dresser and few random things around. " Who could possibly live down here? " He asked as he looked around some more. He turned to look at the ceiling and as he did so the vampire lept from behind him tackling him onto the ground. Brandon flipped him of in an instant and rolled and stood to his feet and the silver blades sprung forth from his knuckles once again.

Alerya looked around in the room, seeing nothing, she looked to the ceiling, where another vampire smiled back maliciously at her and Brandon. She jumped out of the way as Brandon dove in the opposite direction. Alerya saw the vampire coming at her, before she could move, she found herself in the middle of a struggle with him. She had, of course, expected this, she had betrayed her own kind by helping Brandon to this vampire's lair, of course it would go for her first. It, however, made the error of turning it's attention to his back for a moment, and to see where Brandon was, allowing her enough time to get the upper hand and kick him off of her.
Alerya jumped up and ran to the dresser, looking through the drawers. She heard Brandon yell at her, something about wasting time with going through the drawers, but she was too involved with looking for something she sensed was in the dresser. She found what she was looking for in a middle drawer with things covering it, a small silver blade, the handle wrapped so a vampire could hold it without being burned. Why a vampire would have one, freaked her out a bit.
She was so busy with getting the knife that she didn't hear the other vampire coming up behind her, until she was forced to the ground, and felt something dig into her arm, something that burned. Alerya knew right away that she had been stabbed by a silver knife, by the other vampire. She rolled over, slashing the vampire across the face with the knife she held. That only made him madder and back off a few seconds before he leapt at her again. Somehow, her knife was knocked just out of her grasp as she wrestled with the other vampire.
Alerya crawled for the knife, groping frantically for it. She did not hear Brandon moving, though she didn't have the time to focus at the moment on whether he was ok or not. She was just about to take hold of the knife as she felt the other held by the vampire slice into her leg. She screamed as her fingers grabbed the knife. She, rolled to her back as the knife ran down her leg, she curled up quickly, and jammed the knife into the vampire's shoulder, it hissed in pain as it drew back from her. She saw Brandon up, over the shoulder of the other vampire, he was bleeding too, but was coming no less to takeout the vampire. She hoped that the stab in the vampire's shoulder, would slow him down enough that Brandon would have the upper hand and hopefully kill it. Alerya finally kicked the vampire off of her, after her shoulder was slashed at where Brandon's claws had been earlier in the night. She knew that she didn't have the strength to kill the vampire, since it was older then her, and since she was now wounded. She curled up on the floor, shaking from the pain of the silver knife, her cool palm pressed to her forehead, hoping the d**n room would stop spinning. Her whole body ached and burned all at the same time, thanks to the sliver knife.

Brandon was on the ground for a few moments in which Alerya was forced to fight the vampire by herself for a rather long time. The vampire seemed to get the upper hand and left her in a discombobulated state as he made his way back over to Brandon. Brandon already had formulated and plan on how to take care of this creature. Sure enough the vampire came over to him and picked him up. "I am going to give you the gift of immortality." He said in a jeering tone. As he leaned down a bit to bite Brandon's neck Brandon smack his head against the vampires causing the vampire to look back up at him. " O yeah, well i got a present for you to buddy..." He said as his fist was pressed against the vampires heart and in an instant his silver blades shot forward and pierced the creatures heart. " Ho, ho, ho...." He muttered as he ejected the claws as the vampire fell onto the ground withering in pain and soon death took him.

Alerya opened her eyes long enough to see Brandon's claws go through the vampire's chest and out his back. She breathed a sigh of relief seeing the vampire writhing on the floor until it died. She closed her eyes and laid her head down, trying not to think about the burning pain shooting through her body, knowing it would take her wounds longer to heal since it was a silver blade.
Alerya tried to keep her thoughts away from the bleeding wounds. She wished suddenly that she had never left France, if she was there, Jaran would know what to do, to heal her. But she had to be stupid and leave after a fight. Was this karma or something? She had a bad feeling about Brandon, she just knew he would kill her now, she was too weak to fight back. Alerya shifted on the cold concrete floor, but stopped suddenly with a grimace as the jagged surface scrapped at her cut arm. She bit her lip to keep from crying out, keeping her eyes closed. She wished over and over again she was still in France. . . . .

Brandon, after making sure the vampire was dead looked at his side which was bruising rather quickly. He rolled his eyes and then heard Alerya make a noise to the right of him. He looked over at her and saw that she was in some sort of pain for there was a look of anguish upon her face. " Well this ought to be easy. " he said to himself. " Two for one. " He said, still to himself as he walked over towards her, the three blades slowly coming forth from his hand as he tilted his neck to the left and the right, hearing the tendens snap back and forth as he stood in front of her. He looked down and saw the pain on her face. He rose his arm as if to strike but stopped. Something told him no. Perhaps it was just shear nothingness that changed his mind or maybe it was the sight of someone in such pain that stayed his hand. Whatever it was, he could not strike. He lowered his arm and his claws retracted back into his hand. He knelt down beside her and examined her wound. It was not bad. There was not much that he could do. The effects of the silver would wear of in about an hour. The wound was not enough to kill her, but enough to cause her some pain. He sighed and propped her up and grabbed a pillow and placed it behind her head. He nodded and stood to his feet and began to look around the room as he waited.

Alerya felt herself being moved, she didn't open her eyes, she knew it was Brandon, though why he wasn't killing her, was beyond her at the moment. She felt herself slip off into a world of dark dreams, still in pain.
Alerya's eyes blinked open a few hours later. There was no grogginess as she stood. She didn't see Brandon anywhere as she glanced quickly around the room. She went to take a step forward, but felt stiff where her wounds were. She looked down to see new slightly silver colored scars on her arm, leg and shoulder. She rolled her eyes, then stretched, hearing a few things crack. She was also hungry, overwhelmingly so, her body had just used a lot of energy to heal itself. Alerya hoped it was dark out, and that she could find a way to escape the tunnels to find something to eat.

At about the same time that she was awakening Brandon was coming back into the room in which she lay. He carried some books with him that apparently he had already read considering he put them back on the shelf. He turned and saw Alerya on her feet. " Your awake...." He said, stating the obvious. " It is good to see you are feeling better. " He said with a half of a smile. " I suppose i owe you my life as it were. I appreciate the gesture. " He said with a nod as he turned and placed another book on the shelf. " It shall be dark in about an hour and then i suppose it shall be clear for you to go back up to the surface.

Alerya looked at Brandon, half confused. "'Appreciate the gesture'?" She asked, stretching again. She walked to the far side of the tunnel room they were in, to look down one of the connecting tunnels, where a grate was that led to the outside world and Alerya could see that the sun was finally setting.
Alerya looked over at Brandon to see that his nice little uniform was torn in a few places. "Are you alright?" She asked, as she examined her own clothes, seeing that they would have to be thrown away. She looked back at Brandon waiting for his answer as she sat back down on the floor. "What did you do with the body?" She asked, just now remembering that they had a body to take care of. Then it hit her, maybe she was just really slow after what had happened, that Brandon didn't have to be down here, he could have left hours ago, even killed her before he left, yet he was still here. "Brandon. . .why. .what are you still doing down here?" She asked. The French never were big on being tactful in speaking.

He turned and looked at her and shrugged his shoulders. " I never leave a fallen man behind. Well in your case a woman behind. " He said calmly as he took a seat in one of the chairs that was beside her. " And yes, i am fine. It takes a lot to hurt me....literally. " He said with a half smile. " But tell me this. Why do you care? " He asked calmly as he was wondering why exactly it mattered to her what he continued to do here with her. However, he needed some information from her which was why he was truely still around.

Alerya looked at him. "I believe that concept goes for your actually team-mates or whatever it's called…I don't necessarily care. Just more wondering why you stayed. And don't pull something cheesy. You must want something, and don't lie, I will know better." She said, standing and pacing the room, hungry and being around Brandon, a mortal, wasn't helping much.

He stroked his chin and nodded. " You are rather quick on the uptake there. " He said with a smile as he watched her pace the room. Of course, he had figured that she would be rather hungry after such a long time and from all of the wounds that had to be healed had taken a lot of strength from her. He was not all that worried however. After all, he was always prepared for something to happen. " I need information from you, since i was not able to get it from the other vampire, as was apparent. " He said calmly.

Alerya smirked at Brandon. "What sort of things do you want to know? I may be able to answer your questions, then again, I may not be able to." She grinned cheekily. She huffed and paced the room, wishing the sun would set faster so she could get something to eat. "Would you put the body in the sun light…" It really wasn't a question, but not a direct order.

He nodded and took the body and dragged it over to the sunlight that was streaming through the gate. In an instant the body disintegrated into a pile of burning ash and smoke. Brandon waved his hand in front of his face and stepped out of the sun. " There you go. " He said calmly as he leaned against the wall, watching her pace back and forth as he stroked his chin trying to decide about how he wanted to phrase his question. " Where are you from exactly? " He asked as he wondered which vampire cult she belonged to..

Alerya cocked her head to the side and looked at Brandon. "I flew in here from France. You couldn't tell by my accent?" She asked, grinning. "But why is that important?" She asked, looking at the ashes that were the other vampire.

He shook his head as he continued to stroke his chin. " It is really important per say, it just helps me fill in a few blanks. " He said as he ran his hand through his hair and began to pace around his side of the room. " This vampire had some information for me...but he didn't know it. He was part of a special cult of vampires that are currently working on a gas formula that makes it so that vampires can be immune to sunlight. " He said calmly. " You are a vampire, and his cult was based in France, which i find highly interesting. So....have you heard anything about this? " He asked calmly.
