Title: An unexpected visitor

Author's note: Read and Review, please that is all I ask. **************************************************************************

"Hurry up and put the movie in already Jesse." Said Brennan for the second time. Jesse opened the case as slowly as possible now just to annoy Brennan and slipped the DVD into the player. Then sat down on the couch next to Emma as the movie started.

About half way through the movie Emma nudged Jesse. He moved closer, "Yah." He asked softly.

"This is going to sound weird but. I can feel another presents in this house and it's not Brennan, Shal, or Adam. The presents almost feels, eerie." Whispered Emma.

"So you want to go check it out?"

"Please."

"K lets go." Whispered Jesse. They both got up to leave "We'll be back in a sec."

"Sure you will." Said Shalimar sarcastically. Emma gave Shalimar a deadly look then walked out of the room with Jesse right behind her.

"So, do you know were it is?" Asked Jesse.

"About, yes, exactly, no."

"Ok, where are we headed?"

"Somewhere around the dojo."

"That's a good start." Said Jesse. Before they went into to the room Jesse stopped Emma. "I'll go in first just in case."

"K." Agreed Emma. So Jesse walked in carefully and looked around. All the lights where either dimmed or turned of in the room. As he moved forward something caught his eye. He phased instantly as a fist pasted through his skull. If that punch had hit he would have been down for the count. Emma had seen this happen she rushed in to help Jesse out. The dark figure hesitated to try and work out what had just happened. Emma seized the moment to threw a psionic blast at the figure. As soon as the blast hit, the dark figure collapsed. Jesse quickly picked the person up and carried it up the stairs to the dojo. He put the person in the dojo and as soon as he was out and on his way back down the stairs Emma activated the force field that would keep whatever or whoever that was, in.

"Brennan, Shal, Adam. Get down to the dojo, NOW, we have a large problem." Said Jesse into his comlink. When Jesse got to the bottom of the stairs the person was already beginning to stir.

"That was way to quick Jesse. What ever that is it should still have been out for longer." Concern filled Emma's voice. Just then Brennan and Shalimar came running in with Adam not far behind. All three ran right past the light switch.

"What's wrong?" Asked Adam.

"We have a uninvited and dangerous visitor that just recovered from Emma's psionic blast in a matter of seconds." Explained Jesse. "It's in the dojo and the force field is up."

"Do you have any idea on who or what it is?" Asked Adam.

"No." Answered Emma. The Figure stood up to its full height and started to test its confinement with a series of punches directed at the invisible wall. Everyone noticed that its eyes glowed blood red.

"It could be some sort of feral." Offered Shalimar.

"Did it attack one of you?" Asked Adam.

"It attacked Jesse. He saw it a phased through the punch it threw." Said Emma. "Then I hit it with a psionic blast."

"You said that it recovered from the blast in a matter of seconds." Said Adam.

"Yes, and that's sooner then anyone should have." Said Emma.

"Brennan go turn on the lights so I can get a better look at who we are dealing with." Said Adam.

"Don't turn on the lights you fools! Or your research specimen might just die." It yelled facing them with its eyes still glowing red. Brennan looked at Adam to see if he still wanted the lights on. Adam shook his head no.

"Why don't you want the lights on?" Asked Adam calmly. He waited for a wile but it never answered.

"Adam." The rest of them heard the distress in Emma's voice.

"What's wrong Emma?" Asked Adam.

"I think we've just met another vampire."

Adam thought for a moment before he answered. "I think you just might be right. Are you all right with this?"

"I almost have to be." Answered Emma. "Besides. I don't think it's the same kind of vamp that took me out."

"So what your saying is, we have Dracula in there?" Asked Shalimar. Emma gave a weak smile and nodded slightly.

"So, the mortals aren't such fools after all. Now release me." Shouted the vampire.

"Sorry we can't do that. You're a danger to us if your not confined." Said Adam as he made his way up the stairs to the dojo to get a better look at this 'vampire'.

"It's your fault that you came in here and attacked Jesse in the first place." Added Brennan. The vampire lurched forward as if to attack Brennan but stopped just before it hit the force field. Adam looked at the vampire in amazement. She even had fangs like the ones that you would see in an old movie.

The vampire noticed Adam looking at her. So she turned to face him so he could get a better look. "So you find me fascinating do you. Adam?"

"How did you know my name?" Asked Adam quickly backing down a step.

"I can read you like a book. That's how." She scoffed.

"Adam, come back down I can't feel her here. She has limited range." Said Emma calmly. Adam took one last look at the vampire before making his way back down the steps and towards his team.

"It's a she?" Asked Jesse.

"Yes." Answered Adam.

"Now what are we supposed to do?"

"I have no idea. We can't set her free because then she.,. "

The vampire cut Adam off. "Would slaughter you all without hesitation."

"Well I was going to put it much lighter." Said Adam.

"So we're stuck with her until you figure out what to do." Concluded Shalimar.

"I'm open to any suggestions." Offered Adam.

"How about just letting me OUT." Yelled the vampire.

"So who dares to take the first watch?"

"I will. But we're going to have to black out the windows before morning." Said Emma.

"I'll take care of the windows." Assured Adam.

"Why don't you let me die and be done with it?" Yelled the vampire.

"Sorry can't do that." Said Adam.

"Fool."

"Maybe, but on the other hand maybe not." Adam hit a few keys on the keyboard he was standing next to, and the windows were sealed with metal. "You sure you'll be ok?"

"Yes Adam, get some rest." Said Emma. Adam hesitated before nodding and he then left. Emma found a chair to sit in and moved it near the dojo. She sat there for a long time watching the vampire pace her confinements. Every once and a wile she would lash out at the force field. "You know that won't do you any good." Pointed out Emma after awhile.

The vampire faced Emma her eyes still glowing bright blood red. "Shut up, MORTAL." It was quiet for along time after that. The vampire didn't stop pacing but she didn't lash out at her confinements as often. "Why don't you come closer, let me read you. Unless, you have something to hide." Taunted the vampire. Emma didn't move from where she was sitting. "Oh come on. Don't you want to get a better look at me?"

"I don't need a better look at you because I really don't care what you look like." Said Emma. The vampire lashed out at the force field in frustration.
