Avery shook her head and said "of course. I would never speak of this...but, can I ask one thing? Can I stay and learn more about you and your world?"

One man was behind him and raised his shot gun and aimed. Bane came out behind the vampire in time to spot the shooter. " look out!" He shifted and jumped on the man, taking the shot and pinning the man to the ground. After a minute he shifted back, coughing as he stood. He turned to see The Lord looking at him and said "thank you...for freeing the others..." He swayed on the spot, bleeding from his shoulder.
