The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Jared shooked his head, "Stop... You aren't going to die.. You can't..." He realized he was squeezing her hand tightly and relaxed his hold on it, "You can blame me... but you can't die..."

He gently rose her hand to his lips and kissed it before holding it close to him.

Skye looked at Alucard, "It's Jacklan... I think.... Jared didn't say but he said to meet you in his room then sprinted off... He looked worried. Is she going to be okay?"

Marcus grabbed the girl's shoulders, "He told me to take her to the art room..."

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Jared stood with Skye as his side, lecturing his guards, coming up with new plans if an attack were to happen again. He crossed his arms as Skye looked at them all, trying to figure out who was what. They were all sparring while Skye and Jared watched when a maid ran out of the castle. She ran over to him and whispered in his ear that Jacklan was getting worse. He balled his hands in fists and nodded, "Alright..."

He looked at Skye and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Marcus... Take Skye and go find the count. Tell him to meet me in my room, then take Skye to the art room."

The man nodded and sniffed the air. He jerked his head toward the forest and started to run there. Skye followed and they began to call for Alucard.

Jared ran to his room and took the seat that was next to his bed. He gave Jacklan a soft smile, "Hey..." He whispered. He took her shirt lifted it slightly to look at her wound. Seeing it, he prayed that Dracula could help. He sighed and took her hand, "You know... I'm the one that's allowed to be reckless... You're the one that's supposed to take care of me when I get hurt...."

Azure Dragon!

Elliot jumped to her feet when the glass of the guild shattered. She jumped out one of the windows, being sure to avoid any of the newly broken glass and looked around outside, ready to fight. However, when she got out there, it seem the attackers had already feld and there was nothing and no one to be dealt with. Ellie was a little disappointed, she was itching to do something! She sighed and crossed her arms, not impressed. She over heard Orin talking to Hector about the people impersonating them on their mission. She walked over, "Well, that's... odd," she said quietly, "Why would people be wanting to ruin our image? We're just barely a guild... It's not like we are a threat to anyone..." She pursed her lips, "Maybe it has something to do with the job that you guys were doing..."

She looked at Hector and smirked slightly at the tattoo on his wrist. He clearly had something for Beatrix or someone, if he was willing to stick around at a low tier guild that she was at. He really did seem to hate her. She looked back at Orin, "Did they say anything?"

Jacob laughed again when she called him stupid. He shook his head, "I meant to run into them though. Protecting the castle and all," He looked at her and smiled, "Honestly, I was hoping it would be you nursing me back to health. Not the other way around," he winked at her before he laid her back down on the bed. He handed her the bin and smiled, "I'll get someone to grab you some water and keep an eye on you... Hunters are figuring it out. I have to go work on some reinforcements with the boys."

He tucked her in a little, "I'll be back later and don't move, alright?"

He walked down into the kitchen as looked at the maids, "Can someone go watch Jacklan? She's in my room. Make sure she stays there, she needs rest and won't let me take her to her room... Also, bring some water. I have to go work."

He nodded to them and turned out of the room. Skye ran over to him and looked up at him, "Can I come?"

"Uhh.... sure," He said with a smile.

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Jared chuckled slightly as he held her close. He might of held back her hair if he had a third arm. However, that was not something that werewolves were rewarded. When she stopped he placed his head on her's, "Stupid witch," he teased, "You shouldn't have attacked them like you did... Should have gone back and gotten someone I trained for that kind of fight."

He looked at his bin, "I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you don't want breakfast..."

Skye leaned back against the wall behind her seat. This was all really strange. She looked at the maid who was smiling at her, "Cool..." was really all she could think of saying. She got up off the chair and held her hands behind her back, "Do know where Alu-... Um... Dracula might be?"

The Awaking of Lord Dracula

Jared jumped up and grabbed his trash bin. Luckily for her, it was only filled with paper. He moved and sat on the edge of the bed, holding it for her. Moving closer, he wrapped his arm around her and moved her slowly, allowing her to sit up slightly without hurting herself. He kept his arm wrapped around her and rested her there against his side. He moved the bin closer to there and smiled softly, "Here...."

Skye looked at them all, "God, this weird...." was all she could say after it was explained to her what they all were. A vampire, a mage, a witch, a shifter, two fairies. That didn't even include the weird things that the guards probably were. Jared had gone out for a walk with Alucard the night before, she wondered if he was a vampire as well. She walked further into the kitchen and found a seat, watching them cook breakfast, "What about the guards?"

End or no end

Elliot shook her head, "Or you just want me nursing you back to health," she teased. She looked up at him when he told her that he meant what he had said, that did love her. She blushed a little and sat up. She kissed him again, as she did, she pressed alcohol covered cloth against his wound to clean it. She pulled away when she finished. She laughed a little and bit her lip, "Sorry..." She gave him another small kissed before she bent back over him and went back to work on his leg. When she managed to bandage him up, she sat up and looked at him, "It's the best I can do in a moving vehicle, so I'll have to properly tend to it along with everyone else."

She rest against him and placed her head on his shoulder. She slid her hand into his and smiled at him, "I meant it too..."

Elliot had gone back to her room and was sitting on her bed. She was trying to figure out why she had said what she had. She pulled her legs close to herself. It seemed like every time she got a thought track that made some kind of sense, the voice managed to derail it in some form or another.

End or no end

Elliot sat on the floor a little stunned. She watched him as he ran away then just stared into space. Why had she said that? She didn't love him... She hardly knew him.

Elliot felt stupid but her heart felt like it skipped a beat when Jacob told her that he loved her to. She thought he might have been smiling when she kissed him. However, that would have been because he was preparing to mock her for it the rest of her life. She nodded when he said that they had to move and quickly gathered her medical gear, throwing them into her bag and over her shoulder. To small to lift any of the injured soldiers, she was ushered into the truck. She helped Jacob get the man on his shoulder in. Noticing the blood, she looked at his leg to see that he had gotten shot. Grabbing his knife from his belt, she cut his pant leg open more. She shook her head, "Could make it out of there without getting shot at least once, eh?"

She laughed a little started to tend to it.

End or no end

Elliot listened to Jacob as she worked on the leg in front of her. He wasn't helping calm her down, yelling about how little time they had. Securing another bandage, she checked that all those injured were in a stable enough condition before she turned back around to Jacob. This was the closet to death she had gotten in the field while being uninjured and coherent. She didn't like it. It let her brain think about her impending doom. She looked at Jacob and sighed, "If we die..." She pulled him into yet another kiss as she moved her own gun around her to allow her to shoot. She pulled away and whispered, "I love you..."

Elliot pulled away from the kiss and whispered, "I love you."

She sat there a moment before she blinked, clearly unsure where that came from. She moved back to sit down, greatly confused, "Umm.... I don't know why I said that...."
