Walking, walking, walking. How boring. If I wasn't so alert I might find the setting very sweet and romantic; I'm mushy that way. The line of medium trees with their delicate blossoms glowing in the moonlight painted a scene that you might see in Notting Hill. All of a sudden I realized I was ever so lightly nodding my head to the bass of some type of rock music, alternative no doubt. It was faint at first, but I soon neared the source of the commotion. It was wise, I thought, to follow funky music to the main house because it could be the host home of a vampire's bash. I noticed lights on in pretty much every room in the house, a rather big house, and many figures showing through the curtains. Definitely a party.

'Might as well find out if its an invitation only for some VIP vampires,' I thought to myself. I opened the door quietly and slipped in; no need to announce this hunter's arrival. "Tell me, do witches find their way in to every party I come to?" I leisurely turned around to see a dark haired, pale skinned monster who I knew from previous experience loved the arts and people well in them: Kaleo. "I mean, it's very flattering that I attract you little groupies, but I'm afraid your kind always try to spoil the party, and in turn, find yourselves damaged in a very painful position." Bingo! "Kaleo, anyone ever tell you, you talk too much?" And with that I shoved my Ashintåöu dagger through his cold black heart twisting it twice and out again. His eyes bulged out, and his mouth opened in a groan. "Oops, did I do that?" I asked callously in my best Steve Erkel imitation. I didn't take the time to look around because I knew at that moment, time was precious. He was still struggling with his life and grabbing at me, the blood spurting out his lips and dripping out the sides of his eyes and ears, so I threw acid in his wound to keep it open and fatal. I sped to the door sensing the numerous vampires and their minions clawing at my back and sides, and I saw maybe four vampires blocking the doorway. I could break through easily but I needed out fast. I thought quickly and jumped through the window spraying shattered glass everywhere. They were on me in two seconds snarling with threats coming from every which way. I could feel their hate and malice spreading out from their aura and it sickened me. I threw them off, struggling to run in the opposite direction but boy, it was a struggle, yet through it all, I never looked back. I was surrounded, and I could feel a lynching coming on. Then I stopped, curled into a ball on the lawn, and focused.

****************Nikolas POV*************

I looked out my window to the commotion outside. Well, it wasn't really MY window since it wasn't even my house, but I had used this room to take my victim so I just considered it mine for the moment. I had seen Kaleo's murder from the eyes of others as I searched their minds. Hmm, the girl had guts and skill to harm Kaleo, and I was happy for some action and excitement. The witch's death was certain if she remained here long. At the moment, Kaleo's current, or actually now former play toy was dressing his wound and crying over his condition. The wound would not heal until well over tomorrow's sunset leaving a nasty scar, but whatever she had poured on it might adjust his odds in death's favor. I focused my attention to the mob again.

"What's she doing?" asked a voice from the crowd, and some were agreeing with the question as was I. I wasn't exactly sure what was her next move. I thought she would have fought through and broken down the door to escape this house which would lead to certain capture, but she had surprised me, I had to admit by making her quick escape through the window, but to no avail (AN: talk about a run-on sentence.). What was this? Ah, she is condensing her energy to throw at them. This little brawl was quite amusing. Some tried to drag her inside while a few backed away a few steps to give them some room, but they were all too late. Fools! An explosion of light occurred badly scarring some vampires while only blinding a few for an instant and then, both the light and the girl were gone. 'Ha ha ha' I laughed in my head. They should have expected she wouldn't give in so easily, but how had she disappeared? Most witches couldn't do that, and she had to have evaporated or I would have seen her running away 'and maybe followed her' I thought. She was very, dare I say it, beautiful. 'What are you doing Nikolas?!' I scolded myself. I shouldn't get involved with her. She could kill me, or could she? Ooh, I had an itch to fight this striking rival. I wondered if I should go and try to avenge Kaleo. Nah, he got what he deserved even if I couldn't give it to him. Not two hundred years ago and not anymore. I know one schoolgirl who will want to be here for Kaleo's possible demise. My dear reminiscent sister.

I thought on the power of this witch. She managed to practically kill a very powerful vampire and escape with hardly a scratch. Well, actually she did get a few scratches. All outside were stunned and perplexed. Crap, party's over! Time to check on Kaleo, the poor bastard.
