Seeing the sorrow in her eyes just before she left, he kept quiet as well and just rose and walked behind her. His mind raced with thoughts of this girl, just a few feet before him, and he almost walked into a lightpost. He adjusted his pace and kept behind her, not knowing where it was that she was heading now.

She walked with her eyes closed fighting back tears that threatened.
"How could you be so weak?" she thought to herself as the thoughts of this man ran through her mind.
She knew he couldn't stay with her. She wanted to help him, but at the same time, helping him meant killing her clan. Her head spun with everything that she had to think about. It would be so easy for her to kill him. But she couldn't, she couldn't bring herself to end his life like that. She had to help him... even if it meant never seeing him again. Her thoughts were interupted by a screech heard from overhead.
"d**nit... they're back."
She drew out a dagger and frantically looked around.

Rex stopped quickly, seeing that she had her weapons ready and unsheathed his katana as well. He ran forward and aligned his back to hers, looking in the opposite direction and held his weapon vertically.
"Whats going on?" he asked over his shoulder.

"they're back... two of them... weaker...Surka! Daylina!" she growled
"go back to my place... this won't take long... but they can't find you... not yet."
She dashed down an alley way. Screeches and screams echoed into the street.

"You sure your going to be ok?" he asked, turning an eye over his shoulder to see an empty space. She was already long gone.
He stood straight up and lowered his weapon then quickly turned his head to the left, reacting to the screams he had heard and tightened his fist around the hilt. That had to be her but he didnt know what to do. She didnt seem to be particularly incapable of taking care of herself so with a nod in her direction, he sheathed his katana and walked off towards her apartment.
After a short walk he entered the building and looked at the huge flight of stairs with a hesitant look. Just the night before these steps had conquered him but now he knew better. Dealing with such an obstacle required more than just a quick run, it needed a short walk to the elevator on the other side. He walked over and pushed the button then waited for the steel room to descend. Once it arrived, he stepped in and rode it to her floor then walked out casually.
Rex walked towards her door and grabbed the handle, turning it clockwise and pushed it open only to recieve a quick blow to his head that knocked him unto his back. There above him stood the second of the two vampires, burnt all over but clearly already starting to heal.
"Bastard..." Rex whispered to himself as he removed the shattered sunglasses from his face. "I just got these as a present."
His hands went back, his right taking hold of his katana and his left reaching for his pinwheel. He jumped upwards and landed on both feet, turning his body to align his right side with his attacker and smirked at him. Finally, a chance at payback.

She slashed at the vampires around her.
"d**n you..."
"Nikkita, you should know better."
One of the vampires picked her up and threw here against a brick wall. Her back made a sickening thud and she fell to the ground.
"Now, my dear sister! I could kill you now... But i think it would be much more fun to torment you."
The vampire picked her up again and threw her into a pile of garbage. She rolled under a fence and regained her composure.
"There's only two... where's the other one?" she asked herself. Then her eyes narrowed as she came up with the answer.
"REX!"
Then she heard a sickening laugh behind her.
"Bingo, baby."
It was the old man. Her eyes glowed as she turned to face her own "father"
"What do you want?"
"It's simple... i want that scum Rex's life." he sneered
"Over my dead body" She said with deadly sharpness
"You're already dead... that shouldn't be hard to arrange."
He jumped at her. She moved to the side but he caught her arm and raked his nails through her skin.
"Ahh!" she hissed at the pain.

Rex darted in and swung his sword at the silent killer who just stepped to the side and grabbed his arm, then tossed him back. He stumbled back and darted forward again with a slash aimed at the creature's neck which was easily avoided by a step backwards.
"Idiot," Rex said with a smirk and jumped into a tucking flip, bringing the sword under his body as he passed over the head of the villian and created a shallow wound along the length of the creatures spine. He landed in a crouch behind the man, smiling and proud of his achievement when a swift kick to his back sent him sliding on his stomach and ultimately to collide into a wall.
He rubbed his head and stood up then got pinned by a hard left fist to his chest that forced him against the wall and caused him to caugh up some blood. The creature unleashed a flurry of blows at Rex's face while he was pinned and backed off only after Rex swung the sharp pinswheel at his neck. The man collapsed and rubbed his burning face then jumped up and glared at the man ahead.
The fight had only just begun and already he had sustained so much damage, this wasnt going as well as he had hoped at all.
"sh**," he said to himself. "I better end this fast before Nikkita gets here."

She stood up, shaken but still alive.
"d**n you!" she hissed
She removed a dagger from her thigh and threw it at his head. He easily stepped aside and appeared behind her twisting her arm behind her body.
"Ahhh!"
"Listen to me Nikkita... I'll let you live if you help me... Befriend him... Bring him to me... And i'll let you keep your..."life"
Nikkita looked around frantically. Somehow she would get Rex out of this but for right now she had to play the mind games.
"All right.... i'll do it."
"Good girl..."
She let her go and kissed her. She pulled away quickly and spit on the ground.
"I'll see you later, love..." and with that the three of them disappeared.
She gathered her weapons and ran away from the alley. Her eyes were filling with tears as she raced toward her home..
"...Rex..." she gasped

Rex's body slammed against a wall and he fell to the floor hard. Struggling to his feet, his face was met with a knee which sent him toppling over and unto his back.
A familiar pain and a familiar position, this was just like last night afterall. He rolled away from the descending heel of the silent vampire which cracked the ground where his chest had previously been and rolled back then flipped up to his feet and picked his katana from the floor.
"d**n...this isnt good."
He stood, out of breath, by a window and watched as his opponent began a vicious charge and he held his katana across his chest in preparation for a direct attack. His eyes followed the approaching evil as he shifted to the left then jumped to the right and rebounded off the wall into a tackle. Rex took a quick step forward and swung his blade down at the left shoulder of his attacker but his swing was deflected when the creature grabbed his left wrist and twisted it before pinning him again. Using his free right hand, Rex grabbed his second pinwheel and slashed the neck of the vampire then kicked him off and pulled back his katana and thrusted it at his chest. The beast screamed, the first sound it released since the fight began, and held the hole the blade made and glared ahead with a cold stare.
Rex took a step back, into the light of the window and breathed heavily then held his sword upright in preparation for another attack. The blood of his attacker seemed to glow in the bright sunlight, and his pinwheel held in his right hand by his side reflected the sun's rays in the eyes of teh oncoming creature as it started yet another attack.
'A direct attack? How foolish.'
Rex spread lis feet a little to get better footing then jumped upwards into a tucking flip only tohave his leg grabbed by the ankle and thrown out the window from that height. Just before he went out he released his katana and lef it fall then grabbed the beast by the arm and sliced its head off using the pinwheel in his hand and fell two feet before grabbing unto a ladder on a fire escape to save himself.
"That..." he panted. "Was just too much..."
He looked up and his eyes widened as he saw the headless body of his victim fall from the window and descended in his direction. The body knocked him from his place on the ladder and he fell hard on his back on the ground 70 feet below. A sickening crunching sound was heard upon impact and his head smashed heavily against the hard concrete. The pain overcame him and his scream was silenced by the overwhelming feeling of blood leaking from the back of his shattered skull onto the sidewalk below.
"N-Nikkita..." he squeezed out as his right hand lifted to the air then collapsed by his side.

She raced back to her apartment, blood pounding in her head. Out of no where she felt a stinging pain in her stomach and stumbled forward. Her vision blurred for a second but she was able to regain her composure.
"Oh no... what have i done."
She had finally reached the street of her apartment and stopped dead in her track letting out a blood curtling scream. She saw Rex lying motionless on the ground in a pool of his own blood.
" Rex." her voice cracked...
She walked over and looked at him. His face was pale and his breathing shallow.
"No, you can't die on me now." she sobbed.
She picked up his head and ripped a piece of her coat off. She wrapped it tightly around his head and carried him up to her apartment. She laid him down in her bed and looked on in horror.
"What am i gonna do." she cried sliently to herself

Rex's body hung limp as he was carried inside. His breathing became more and more distant and his heartbeat gradually slowed to a halt. Apart from the damage of the fall, he still had internal bleeding from the beating he had recieved and the combination of the two gave him a very slim chance of survival.
His life almost gone, he forced his eyes open one last time and shifted his tired eyes over towards Nikkita.
"Y....you.......came......"
A single, bloody, tear rolled down his right cheek and his eyes closed for their last time. His breathing stopped completely and his heart remained still. Certainly all that remained for him now was to be judged.

"no...no no..." she layed her head on his chest and sobbed
"Don't leave..."
She looked out the window. A storm had moved in and the rain and wind blew in the window. She knew what she could do. She could turn him. But he was fighting so hard against her kind.
"I can't do that to you..." her voice neared hysterical.
She felt his breathing and heart stop and realize she had no choice. Hesitantly she leaned over to his neck.
"Please forgive me..." she whispered and sunk her gleaming white fangs into his neck. She drew out most of his blood. Slitting her own wrist she held it to his lips letting her vampric blood trickle into his mouth.
"Please don't leave me..." she whispered.

A few minutes passed and a faint heartbeat began yet again. Breathing quickly followed and it was clear then this man would live again. Reborn as one of his most hated and feared enemies. His eyes slid open slowly and his vision blurred while he took in his surroundings.
'I'm....alive....? How.....?'
His body still felt heavy, too heavy to move at all. He struggled to lift his head but fell backwards instantly and dozed off to regain his strength.

"How could i do that." she thought to herself as she sat on the window sill letting the rain wet her face.
"I am so selfish... and now..." she pulled a knee up toward her chest and set her head down on it sobbing.
"What will he do..." she thought in dismay.

Thirty minutes passed and Rex's eyes opened yet again. Though only a short time, his newly aquired metabolism was already working overtime and he had regained quite a bit of his strength. He pushed himself up and sat straight up on the bed and looked around curiously. He knew he had been here before but everything seemed so different now, he was starting to notice things he hadnt before and new sounds and scents flooded his senses and confused him significantly. His exploring eyes came to rest on a familiar figure, sitting on the window sill and getting soaked by the rain and he rose to his feet and walked over.
"N-Nikkita?" he began. "What's going on?"
