Eisenhorn

A Hunt of Blood and Gears { Eisenhorn and Fairy Tale Dreamer }

Adrian looked at the other hunter, and yelled up to the ship above. "Get some of that bait blood you lot have, this one is close to going feral, don't want to test the brig on that kind of insanity." From the humans perspective, it was because he was looking out for their own safety rather than for any reason on the vampires side. In reality, a prisoner was a prisoner, and they would be treated as well as one could manage. It was the way wars were fought, and by god he was still a soldier, even if he was called a hunter some days. The ship landed, and Adrian helped lift the netted vampiress into the ship, as she was shuffled down into the holding cell aboard the ship, several bottles of blood were already waiting, and the former army captain sighed, looking into the cage, slinging his rifle on his back. She would feel the ship start to move, while Adrian kept a steady vigil on her, making sure she didn't try to escape. He did explain the blood bottles though, still speaking barely above a whisper. "The other hunters aren't soldiers, so don't expect a proper prisoner's treatment from them. The blood is human, from the slain victim of vampires and their thralls. Baited quite a few of your kin into traps."

Adrian was silent for awhile, the ship moving steadily farther away from the forest, racing back to the safety of the Order's keep, both their own and to prevent dawn from slaying their prisoner. He broke his silence, no other humans having come down in the interim, trusting the guard enough to call for help if it was needed. "Your not going to be executed, the Order wants information on this Vampire King. Granted, I'm more curious about what turned your kind against you, really." He was soft spoken the entire time, whether this was an act or not would be unclear to most. In reality, it wasn't, but one couldn't be blamed for assuming such. Part of the reason he had called for the blood was because she hadn't ferally turned on that idiot who refused to stop and hear out his warning. They could have more safely moved this vampiress, but he was impatient, and had no idea he nearly paid for such a mistake. If she had, he wouldn't have been as polite thus far, which was probably a change of pace compared to other hunters and humans.

Adrian kept his rifle trained upon the vampiress woman after the others were driven back, leaving him and her alone in the clearing at the moment. The other hunter was on his way back, but as the woman spoke, the captain couldn't really place her as the vampires he had been dealing with, and had been haunting humanity. She was actually trying to drive him off without feeding? That was unusual, and he spoke quietly so no one else could hear. "Why would you risk that to warn a human? Vampires hate humans..." He didn't see any qualms from vampires before, to jump an unwary human and drain them dry, but she was acting different. That was odd, really odd, so it was a good thing they had caught up with her, or she would have lost us in the woods. He wasn't concerned with the curses and threats from the vampires, he and his kind could deal with them if they tried anything, this was their prize, fair and square.

The other hunter came back, reporting the other man dead, drained of all his blood. Adrian sighed, it was an inevitable casualty, but before he could stop the other hunter, he grabbed the net that was holding the starving vampires, going to drag her back to the ship's touch down point a few clearings over. Adrian couldn't warn the man that this was not going to end well, but instead shielded his eyes from what would probably be an inevitable death, with the rest of the airship crew watching. No matter how this situation ended, he would not be getting any respect, whether command hating him for stopping her, or the crew for still following orders after whatever happens now, because its always that one commander's fault, the leader that never really wanted the role but did his best anyways, and always paid for such folly.

Done, and done, gave you something to work with. Whether or not it works out as seen, well, that remains to be seen.
