Warning: weapon mention and some violence. No blood is mentioned though. ))

Basch stepped out of the car and sighed, the sun was finally setting and he had a job to do inside the abandoned warehouse just outside of Salzburg, Austria. His little sister, Lily, stepped out of the car. Lily was about 4 years younger than 18 year old Basch Zwingli. He sighed and went to the trunk of the car, popping it open and getting out a silver pistol and knife, both with engravings. He looked at Lily and pondered for a moment before handing her two knives like his. "Be careful with them, I know you're good with knives, but I don't want you to go hurting yourself." He grunted. Lily nodded and quietly took them.

They were investigating a case in which a couple got killed, most likely to be a vampire attack. The scene was surprisingly not too messy from what Basch heard which was quite interesting to him. This must be a vampire in hiding who accidentally gave in to finally feasting upon some human blood instead of generic silly little blood tablets and animals. Basch frowned and squinted at the warehouse, closing the trunk of the car. It probably would have been more wise to come during the day when the creature would have been sleeping. Now the two would have to deal with them when they were just waking up. Basch looked at easy, a pit forming in his stomach. She blinked and smiled to ease him, but that didn't work. Basch didn't want to lose Lily. Lily was his only company and his responsibility. She was also the sweetest little sister anyone could ask for. If he lost her he wouldn't be able to live with himself, especially knowing it would be his fault. He sighed shakily and mustered up a convincing smile. "Are you ready schwester?"

"I am... Just a bit nervous, vampires can be a bit scary!" She laughed off lightly.

Basch nodded and began to walk to the building, Lily following close behind him. "I know what you mean, stay close to me so you don't get separated."

"I know bruder, we do this all the time I know the drill." She sighed and they entered the building. She was a bit sick of his nagging, but she knew it was for her own safety and so he wouldn't be as worried.

The inside of the building was empty and dim. To the far right were stairs that lead to smaller rooms. The light grey paint of the walls were old and peeling off. The air was slightly musty and filled with dust which made both of their eyes water. It was eerily silent throughout the whole building which made them uneasy. Basch held his pistol tightly and looked at the aged stairs. He nodded over at Lily and stepped on the first step and froze up a bit. They turned around and looked toward the doorway they left open. No one was there, probably just the breeze and the sound of the aging warehouse. Basch then looked back to walk up the steps and gasped quietly. At the top was a man with violet eyes and dark brown hair. He had an odd curl in his hair and he had a mole on the left side of his mouth. What was odd is that he was wearing aristocratic like clothing that was a dark shade of blue. Basch stepped off the stairs and put his free arm in front of Lily, glaring up at the figure. He pointed the gun at him and growled lowly, "State your name and business here, beast."

"Beast? Like I've never heard that used for my kind before." The gentleman smirked and chuckled, his eyes examining over Basch then Lily. Finally the man nodded and stepped down a few steps, the other two stepping back. "The name is Roderich, Roderich Edelstein." He cracked a smile and the two's eyes widened a bit when they saw fangs.

"So you're the one who attacked that couple, hm?" Basch hissed out and kept his aim on Roderich. Lily shakily got one of her knives from the pocket of her shorts and held the handle with both hands. She tried not to show how intimidated she was, but that was obviously failing. She wanted to throw up and fall to her knees. She wanted to run out, but that would probably disappoint brother. Roderich nodded at Basch then smiled over at Lily. Just a sly little smile to freak her out. He thought she was the cutest little thing and that it'd be fun to freak her out. Basch glanced at Lily then glared at Roderich. "Don't think of touching Lily." He snapped and stepped back a bit.

"I wasn't thinking of it." He hummed and started down the stairs towards the two. Basch kept a hand in front of Lily and the other on the pistol that was still aimed at Roderich's chest. Roderich stretched a bit when he reached the bottom then sighed, scowling at them. "Now is the only reason you came is to confront me or are you going to do your jobs? It's quite boring watching one shake at the sight of me and the other get worked up for no reason."

Basch stepped to the man and pressed the gun to his chest. "Thats right, thank you for reminding me of the job I have to finish." Basch almost put his finger on the trigger, but Roderich just slapped it from his hands. Lily gasped and ran over to the weapon. When she picked it up and turned around he was right in front of her. He smiled down at her and just chuckled. "You're a sweet little girl aren't you? You're just absolutely adorable!" Lily trembled and just kept staring into his eyes. She knew that if she tempted to shoot him she'd probably miss. She knew that if she tried to stab him she'd probably have her neck snapped or something of that measure. Lily squeezed her eyes shut when he began to pat her head. All of a sudden she felt him stop and she opened her eyes, Roderich was on the floor and Basch was on top of him. He gripped his throat tightly and began to strangle him, he would have stabbed him or shot him, but he was angry that he touched Lily and scared her on purpose. Roderich hissed and squirmed under Basch, his face starting to turn a bit red.

"U-uhm bruder... You can stop, its ok." She whispered out and Basch looked back in surprise, slackening his grip. Roderich blinked and looked at her in surprise too. He didn't understand why the little girl was being friendly and merciless. "I... Don't think he actually wants to hurt people. He might just get hungry sometimes and accidentally attack them y-you know? He's also probably a smug asshole who plays with people for fun- uh... Am I right?" She looked at Roderich and he slightly nodded in disbelief. Basch huffed and let go, stepping away from Roderich. "I can't believe this."

"Hm?" Lily blinked.

"You don't want me to kill him anymore!"

"Well yes... It was just a mistake he couldn't control."

"And that's why he must be killed."

Lily frowned and puffed out her cheeks. She knew there could be good in this Roderich fellow, but it'd be trouble convincing her brother that he is. Lily sighed and went over to Roderich, offering a hand, in which he took, and helped him up. He nodded as a thank you and she looked at Basch. He rolled his eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. There was obviously no turning back and he wouldn't be able to convince her. "Fine I'll leave him be." He mumbled and bitterly looked at Roderich. He smiled a bit and waved. "Now let's leave, Lily- and give me my pistol please." Lily sighed and turned to Roderich. "A pleasure meeting you." She huffed and walked to her brother, shoving the pistol lightly in his hands. After that Lily walked out of the building and got in the passenger seat of the car. Basch frowned a bit then turned to Roderich. "If I get another case from here I'm coming for you, alright?"

"Well.. Uh..," Roderich smiled out of nervousness, "I actually kinda want to go with the both of you.."

"What?! You could kill us!" Basch hissed.

"... I clearly would not, have I tried to kill any of you? No, the only one hostile was you." He snapped. Basch went silent and scowled a bit, he hated being wrong. "Fine you can come with us- just don't get in the way and don't scare Lily." He huffed and motioned for him to walk with him to the car. Roderich smiled in satisfaction and waved to Lily. Lily perked up and gasped, waving back. When they got in the car she was excited and immediately started to ask questions. Roderich happily answered while Basch drove in silence. Basch was thinking of all the positivities of having a vampire on their side. He seemed to have taken a liking to Lily so he'd probably protect her. He'd also know of some other creatures that they need to watch out for. He smiled and thought more. He maybe even knew the whereabouts of the demon leader Romulus. The three soon arrived at the motel they were at and checked in. Lily and Roderich talked until Basch had to put Lily to bed. After that Roderich and Basch talked a bit while he polished his weapons. Having a vampire on their side was actually, now, a great thought. Basch couldn't wait for the adventures to come... That is.. If he could handle what comes next..
