A/N: SO I've been thinking and I wanted to put an idea out there. What about introducing in a new character for Jeremy? He obviously wants to be with someone and personally I don't think Tori or Liz is a good long term fit for him. What do you guys think?

Matt's POV

I smiled, "Alright you two. Welcome to the art of tracking with magic."

I started pulling on magic and the air around us started to get warmer.

"I don't get how you can use magic if you aren't technically a wizard," Simon said.

"I'm part demonic," I answered. "I can access the magic of the demon realm. That's why you feel heat when I use magic; the demon realm is full of fire magic."

I concentrated the magic into a blue mist and commanded it to follow the trail of the vampires.

The blue mist fell to the floor and we followed it back to the stairs. It flowed down and circled around the rooms of the first floor before going out the door. The boys stood in the doorway hesitantly.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I know its night but do we really want to follow a blue cloud out in public?" Derek said. "Humans will see it. And us."

"I understand your hesitation," I nodded. "But we need to take this risk right now. They can't get away."

I stepped through the doorway and the mist started inching across the yard, towards the road. I glanced back at the boys, they stepped out after me.

The mist lead us across the street to a small wooded area that sat in between the road and a backyard. It started to dissipate into the grass.

"Ready your weapons," I told them.

As I spoke, a ear piercing screech rang out from the trees.

"Let the games begin," I said and stepped forward.

A small girl dropped from the nearest tree. She couldn't have been more than eighteen before she was turned vampire. She charged at Simon and tackled him. Simon held her head back by her hair, preventing her from being able to bite him as they wrestled.

"Simon," Derek shouted.

I grabbed Derek by the collar of his shirt.

"You all need to learn to fight your own battles," I said.

I pushed Derek towards the trees and another vampire made their appearance. He matched Derek in size but not in quickness. Before the vampire cleared the distance between them, Derek had fired the gun.

The sound of the shot ringing out distracted the younger vampire enough to give Simon the upper hand and use his knife on her.

My time on the sideline was up, I suddenly tasted snow and dirt as I was knocked off my feet. I quickly got back up and drew my weapon. The man snickered.

"So I see the rumor is true. The sword fighter is back," he said.

"Is a sword that uncommon of a weapon?"

He smiled, "For a powerful demon? Of course it is."

I glanced over my shoulder at the boys. They were deep in the trees but I could hear them still fighting.

"Are we going to keep talking or actually fight?" I asked.

"I thought you'd never ask."

He lunged at me. I dove out of the way with ease. He flashed his fangs. I ran my index finger down the blade whispering a spell under my breath. The vampire watched me confused and tried to lunge again. I whipped my blade around and it connected with his shoulder.

The vampire cursed loudly as I drove it in deeper.

"Ready for the best part?" I taunted. I repeated the spell and magic flood from the blade into the vampire, turning him into ice. I pulled the sword out and rushed into the trees to find the boys.

A figure attempted to tackle me, as I spun to face them; I realized it was Derek.

"Sorry," Derek said immediately.

"Where's your brother?" I wasted no time.

Derek smelled the air for his scent and pointed to our left. I approached the treeline, standing on the top of a swing set bar was Simon and a vampire. Derek moved towards them and I again had to grab him.

"They're ten feet up in the air," I said. "What exactly do you plan on doing to help him?"

The vampire took a swing at Simon, their nails were sharp like razors. Simon ducked it, he must be using magic to keep his balance. I noticed the glint of a knife in the grass below, Simon had dropped it earlier.

"He doesn't have his weapon and he's already using his magic," I said. "We are going to have to help. Throw him your gun and help me surround the swing set so the vampire can't get away."

Derek didn't bother with responding to me. He charged out into the yard and threw it to Simon as he called out. Simon, caught by surprise, fumbled as he tried to catch it and the vampire took advantage of that moment, clawing Simon's arm. The vampire tasted the blood on his fingertips and jumped down from the beam. Simon quickly fired off multiple shots. One of them managed to hit the vampire and he dropped in his tracks.

"Is there any left?" Simon asked me.

"How many did you two get?" I asked

They both said two.

I nodded, "So five total, more if you include their annex nest the girls got. I would say that, that's all of them. It wasn't that big of a house that they nested in."

Simon got down from the swing set.

"How come there's no humans out here trying to see what we are doing?" Simon asked.

"The gunshot can only be heard by supernatural beings," I answered.

A frustrated Derek finally spoke up, "Can we discuss these things later? Simon's hurt."

I took his hand and looked at his arm. It was bleeding pretty good and would normally need stitches.

"Use your magic to heal it up," I told Simon.

To my surprise, he did with ease. I wondered where he'd learned this healing magic because he wasn't saying a spell that I knew.

Once he was done, we brought the bodies back to their nesting house and placed them in the back room. We got back into the car and before the two had a chance to ask me why we did that, they were asleep.
