Magnus stood and watched the scene unfold, ignoring the pain of the holy vapor. As soon as Johnathan turned his back and walked back to the street to talk to the SOLDIER unit, he dashed to Serah removing the blade in one swift motion being careful not to sever any arteries. He caught her as she fell and fled to the inner regions of the forest where their base was constructed inside a cave. As it stood now, they had a mere 10 Vampires in their forces not counting Serah and himself. All that would change tonight. When they reached the base he laid her down on one of the few cots he had manged to..acquire from the city. He had to think fast, that bullet in her shoulder would hinder her healing abilites. Hopefully he had got her out in time so that the holy vapor didn't cause irreperable damage. He made a small incision where the bullet hole was located so he could reach his claws in to retrieve it. Gently and slowly he pushed his one of his claws into the wound, the least she needed right now was further injury. He fished the bullet out and tossed it deep into the cave.
Now the only issue was getting her blood, if she didn't recieve any soon the wounds would heal too slow or not at all. He concentrated, thinking of a way to get the much needed blood to her.. Then he remembered the raid he had conducted on the local hospital. Hopefully they still had atleast one pack of blood left from it.. he rushed to where they did have them stored. Tossing aside the empty packets there was one left, but it was half empty. It would have to do. Picking it up and reaching Serah as quickly and possible he began dripping the blood on her lips, eventually it brought her out of her weakened state and she snatched the packet of blood from him and proceeded to drain it.
"Well, glad to see your injury didn't effect your appetite" He told her with a grin. It wouldn't be long untill nightfall, they would gather their forces, then they would strike. "Rest. You will need it. Tonight after we have acquired enough followers we will strike, and I will see to it that I personally cut Johnathan down."
Matt shook his head, not a one of the patrols had turned up anything, not even a trace. "Something isn't right.." Matt told him. "Keep alert. I want everyone ready for anything." Then he heard tires screech and the blare of Johnathan's van. " What in the hell?..." He said mostly to himself as he watched the van blaze past and crash off into the distance in the forest. "Guess he finally went completely crazy.."Matt said. He watched closely to see what he was doing. Then he saw it, a male and female vampire in the forest just a few yards from them. He decided it best not to interfere with Johnathan's buisness. He watched the scene play out. Johnathan walked over to them and instructed them not to touch the vampire who he had staked to the ground. Matt looked again and the vampire was gone, "What vampire?" Matt asked him pointing in the direction where the vampire once was.
