A/N Mae, you are way to freaking impatient.

Disclaimers ( see previous chapter.)

Mae woke up with a start. She looked around the room and had absolutley no idea where she was. Then it hit her. Hard. She stiffined a scream . She slowly got dressed in her Gaurdian Armor. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. She strapped her hilt and sword around her waist and headed downstairs. She saw Yulgar reading a report brought to him by Robina, and Robina was flirting with Warlic, who looked part amused,interested, and annoyed. Aria had come over for a cup of tea, and was in the lounge feeing dog biscut's to Pearla's Dark wolf. Mae smiled. It felt like she had lived here her whole life. It didn't feel weird at all.

" Hey, Robina, have you seen Stargazeria?" Robina looked from Warlic to Mae.

" Yeah, she went up to the Gaurdian Tower about half an hour ago."

" Thanks." Mae left the lodge and looked at her surroundings. It was a cool, crisp morning and the birds were chirping. Twilly still stood at the entrance, smiling stupidly and greeting everything that came by. Everything.

" Why hello there leaf, have a good night? Oh! Hello there acorn, doing well? Why hello Mister arrow how are you..." Twilly got hit by a ghost arrow. Sighing and figuring she should probably pull it out. Mae went over and well... pulled it out. It healed immediatly and Twilly went on greeting odd things as usual. Mae began to walk up to the Gaurdian Tower as she had planned to do. She saw the two gaurds in front and when she came near, they moved their spears, bowed slightly and she walked in. She saw Moon and smiled.

" Hey. Have you seen Stargazeria?" she asked polietly.

" Yes." he replied. " She's up at the transporter.

" Oh ...shoot." Mae ran up the stairs to the transporter and found Pearla there. " What's up?"

" Twig keeps transporting over to Yulgar's."

" I know."

" Well, Blackhawke wanted me to find a way to stop it." Pearla looked hopelessly at Twig. " I know..."

" What?"

" I could just strangle him." Mae burst out laughing and accidently knocked Twig into the transporter." Dang. I wonder where he went."

" Only one way to find out." Mae said after sobering up. She walked straight into the transporter and turned around. " Seeya there!" then she vanished. Pearla rolled her eyes but stepped inside anyway. They both landed with a thud on cold, stone ground. " Where are we?" Mae grumbled getting up. She noticed Pearla had a face of sheer terror on. " Pearla, what's wrong."

" Oh... shoot." Pearla said.

" What's wrong?"

" Mae... we're in Darkovia." Pearla replied.

" So?"

" We're in Safiria's castle." Surely enough a dark, tall figure stood above them.

" Ah , Vampire Vtargazer. How are you?" Safiria smiled, helping Mae up.

" Oh, can't complain." Pearla replied smiling.

" Uh... h-hi. I probably shouldn't be here ah..." Mae felt Safiria's hand hold her back. She turned around to see a smile on Safiria's face.

" Von't vorry." she smiled again. " I von't 'urt you. Even though I am a vampire and you a vlayer, I won't 'urt a student of E." Mae noticed that Pearla had transformed into her vampire state. It frightened her a bit. Her friend's face was dead pale... but she had to admit... cool costume. " Vargazer, go. I have a mission for you."

" What is it my queen?" Pearla asked obiendiently.

" Go to Willow Creek, there are four werewolves in the middle cave... kill them."

" Yes my queen." Pearla bowed and then transformed to her flying stage. Still, pretty cool.

" She seems pretty devoted to you." Mae said.

" Yez." Safiria replied. " She is a good worrior. She has killed many on my command." Safiria sighed. " Vlease, vit down." Mae sat down on the fountain, although the site of the blood did freak her out a bit." May I ask of you, a vavor?" Safira began, petting her bat.

" What is it?"

" I'm a bit... vorried about E."

" Worried? About a Vampire slayer?" Safiria smiled.

" Yez." Safira sighed agian. " You vee, me and E vere... vell... ve vere once..."

" Lovers?" Mae asked skeptically. Safiria blushed.

" Ves." she turned away from her bat " I have a bad feeling that one of his own vay,vay betray him."

" Who?"

" I don't know. Tha'z why I vant you to keep an eye on him. Can vou do vat vor me?" Mae nodded. " Vank vou." Safiria looked around. " Vlease, " she began taking something out of a box " Vake vis." It was a soul carver, but not just any soul carver... it was stained with blood, and was clearly old, and it gave off an extremly powerful aura. " Vis was my grandmozer's. Use it well."

" I'm honored. Thank you." Mae walked out of the castle in shock. She mentally put the sword into her invetory and walked on. In the far distance she could here shrieks. More fallowers were coming. She had to hide. A swarm of vampires flew over the trees. It stunned her.So many she could kill... so many... but no, if she did so she would let Safiria down... but wasn't she a trained vampire slayer? What could she do? Not kill some and somehow go up to E and say:

" Hey E, guess what, I had the chance to kill hundreds of vampires but I didn't since your ex asked me to take care of you, and I thought it would be wrong to kill her kind after she gave me a family heirloom."? was that how she would approach it? She walked on, slightly stunned. She saw E's place coming up. She held a breath.

" YOU WHAT?" E hadn't taken the news to well. " You let hundreds of vampires go because my past lover gave you an heirloom? And why the bloody hell would you even think to speak to me like that?"

" She seemed genually worried E." Mae snapped back." If you can't except the past and embrace the future, what point is there to living?" E fumed a bit and then calmed down.

" I..I know, sorry. " E sighed. This was going to be a looong day.

A./N I know it's short but... oh bugger for you. I'm tired.
