Hange and Mike walked deeper into the forest. The forest was completly silent, no birds, no bugs, nothing. Their footsteps didn't make any sounds either as they walked. Mike had wanted to wait for Levi but Hange went on ahead so he followed her.

A sudden sound, both vampires looked around sharply.

Mike shuddered "Why do all werewolves always have to live in forests, I mean seriously? I can't smell them either..."

"Our special abilities don't work on Werewolves remember? I won't be able to read their minds either" Hange said worridly.

She said with a dreamy work "They're the only creature that our powers don't work on, I've always wondered why, the biology behind it must be amazing, if only I could-"

"If you say dissect one of them I will turn around and leave" Mike grumbled.

Hange huffed, though took his threat seriously and stopped talking.

Suddenly she stopped, her eyes wideing. She stopped Mike walking.

"They're here, I can hear them" Hange muttered.

"Where?" Mike hissed.

Hange moved closer to him as she said shakily "All around us, we're surrounded"

"Well well, whats a couple of vampires doing in our territory?" A deep rumbling voice murmured.

Hange and Mike both twisted around sharply, their eyes flashing red before turning back to their normal colour, fighting the urge to snarl. It wasn't natural for vampirs and werewolves to be near each other and not fight.

A older burly man stood before them, he had tanned skin and dark brown hair, he was very tall, around 6,5, he dwarved Mike and Hange easily.

To humans his eyes looked normal but to vampires they could see a yellowish tinge to his eyes, wolf eyes...

They could both tell he was an Alpha werewolf.

"We're not here looking for trouble" Mike said slowly.

The werewolf frowned at them for a couple of seconds, looking them both up and down then he suddenly shouted "Its fine! Come on out!"

Mike and Hange's eyes widened further as more people arrived on the scene. Around fifteen though to shock they wearn't all werewolves...

Hange muttered under her breath "Shouldn't be suprised, they are known to live with humans after all"

Personally she didn't know why, wasn't it dangerous to have humans around? Werewolves could lose control sometimes and they were all very strong, defiantly a lot stronger than humans.

Though she had heard the usaul reason that werewolves sometimes lived with a couple of humans was one simple reason, werewolves couldn't be born. You had to be be bitten to become a werewolf, many humans were family members or lovers who couldn't bare to leave them.

Most werewolves needed a pack or they wouldn't be able to survive on their own for very long, it was also instinct. Sometimes humans were known to tag along, even though it was dangerous for them.

Every werewolf used to be human.

Eleven were werewolves, a mix of Beta's and Omega's from what Hange could tell, the other four were humans.

Though Hange's eyes widened as she took in a small child behind a Beta, he smelt like...werewolf?

Hange supressed a shudder, to be turned so young...

All fearful and wary eyes were turned to the vampires.

Just one look they all looked like normal humans, apart from the yellow tinge in their eyes, their muscler figures and the animalistic aura.

The Alpha werewolf turned to them, he oozed strength and power. Hange and Mike supressed a shiver thinking about one bite from his sharp teeth and they would die.

"Erwin is our sire, he is sick. He told us you may be able to help him" Mike said slowly.

"Erwin? Erwin Smith? He came to us a long time ago. I can not imagine how a vampire of his status could be sick" He answered suspiciously.

"Wasn't he the vampire helped us with the rogues you told me about father?" A small voice spoke out out.

The Alpha turned around with a snarl "Didn't I tell you to get back inside?!"

Small whispers and low growls came from all around them.

Hange and Mikes eyes went to a small boys, who had somehow been able to walk out from the werewolves that had been standing protectivly over him, the boy who Hange had notied earler.

He had dark brown hair like the Alpha, and a tanned skin though lighter than his father. He also had freckles dusted across his face. His eyes were bright, though carried the same tinge of yellow all werewolves did.

"So young..." Mike muttered, eyes wide.

A werewolf snapped from the pack, not getting any closer to the vampires "Marco! Come back here!"

Mike held out his hands in a small surrender sign to show the werewolves he meant no harm to the child.

The Alpha seemed to relax a small bit more at that.

Hange asked slowly "How-"

"Our village was attacked by rogues. My wife did not make it but I and my son did, well we made it back alive but not nesseserly human" The Alpha werewolf said coldly, eyes narrowing on them.

Rogues...

Out of control werewolves...

They went for humans at random, though their attacks were not nearly as frequent as vampire attacks.

"Uh, I meant no offence" Hange said quickly.

"Are you vampires?" Marco asked curiously, his eyes shining with interest.

"Um..." Mike said, uncomfortibe with the way the kid was studying them and what he should say.

Any wrong move and the werewolves would be on them, they both knew that.

The alpha werewolf breathed deeply in before he spoke up.

"I'm Nathen Bott, this is my son. We formed a pack quite a few years ago. Erwin Smith helped us with the rogues that kept on attacking us and a small truce, but that is all. Why should we trust you or what you say is true?" He demanded.

"Because we defiantly wouldn't be here if it wasn't" A voice drawled.

Levi came into view he added, ignoring the surprised gasps and growls that echoed around the forest "No offence but this really isn't the greatest holiday destination"

"You came?!" Hange asked, shocked.

"You doubted me?" Levi mocked as he walked up to them.

"Who is this?" Nathan barked.

"I'm Levi, nice of you to have asked" He said dryly, looking at him up and down.

"Levi!" Mike hissed at his blatent disrespect.

"Hey" Marco said, beaming at Levi.

He looked at the kid, raising his eyebrows "Who's the brat?"

"That brat is my son" Nathan growled, his eyes narrowed.

Levi bent down to Marco's hight and ruffled his hair "Huh, charming kid you got here" He stood up facing the leader of the pack "Pity I can't say the same for you"

Nathan and Levi stared at each other, both radiating hostility.

Marco's grin got bigger, he turned to his father with what could only be described as puppy dog eyes "Can you help them father? Please? Please? I-"

He trailed of them winced as he said "I promise I won't play with Jean again without your permission!"

Nathen looked throughoutly uncomfortable as he scratched the back of his neck "That isn't how this works Marco, you know that"

The werewolf child crossed his arms and pouted "Why not?"

Hange and Mike stood ther awkwardly, not really sure to be part of this discussion.

Levi was watching looking througoutly amused.

Big scary Alpha leader being talked down by his kid, ha, what a joke.

"Hey, kiddo, who's Jean?" Levi asked, becase he was curios but mostly because a plan had started to worm its way inside his head...

"His my freind, we play with each other all the time" He then frowned "Though father doesn't like him"

After giving Levi a death like glare Nathan grunted "Its not that I don't like him, how many times have we gone over this? His a human, humans aren't safe around us, you'll understand when you're older"

Levi was sure the only reason was Nathan hadn't tried to kill them yet was because Marco was here but he could use that to their advantage.

"What are you doing?" Hange asked him angrily, her voice low in his ear.

Levi thought in his head, hoping for once she was listening...I have a plan, don't worry...

For the first time he was glad she'd been snooping as she nodded slightly with her head to show she had heard and stepped backwards.

"You would do anything for your freind, Jean right?" Levi asked Marco, crouching down to his level.

Marco nodded.

"Vampire" Nathen warned but again didn't dare move in for the kill with Marco in front, listering to Levi.

"Then you understand us, see we've got a very sick friend, he will eventually die without your fathers help" Levi through Nathan a sly look when Marco wasn't looking. Nathan was fuming, knowing what Levi was puposedly manipulating Marco to turning against him but unable to stop it without hurting or traumatising his son.

Marco turned to his dad, eyes wide "Why won't you help them father?!"

And my work is done Levi thought, witholding a smirk.

Now Nathan would have no choice but to help them, if he didn't he would look like a monster in his sons eyes.

"Marco you don't understand-" A female werewolf spoke up, suddenly from the circle that of humans and werewolves that were still surrounding them.

"What I understand if you're refusing to help someone who needs it! He helped us, why won't you help him? What does it matter his a vampire?" Marco cried.

"Vampires are monsters" Someone growled.

"And we aren't? What makes us any different from them? We're both supernatural!" Marco pleaded, his voice ringing out in the forest.

Kids got gutts Levi thought with aproval.

The litte werewolf said "We don't want to help them because they're vampires? So what? Isn't that exactly the same thing thats going on with humanity and the supernatural now? They not wanting to help or accept us because we're not like them?"

"Thats different" Nathen said, his voice soft but Levi could feel him loosing this battle.

"How?!" Marco exclaimed.

Levi could think of a number of reasons...

Vampires killed to feed... Werewolves didn't...

Vampires didn't get on with humanity...Werewoves could to an extent.

And the biggest thing of all...Even though they were supernatural, Werewolves in a sense were still humans.

Vampires were not.

Werewolves were alive...Their instincts didn't tell them to kill humans, unlike vampires...

But who could explain this to poor navie Marco? Who's innocence hadn't been taken away yet and that light most children carried in their eyes beliving the world to be a good place no matter what happened?

He was to young to understand. To young for people to want him to understand.

Levi felt a twinge of envy but shoved it down, no time to reminisce about your own childhood he thought grimly, get it togeher!

So Nathan had no choice but to say...

"Fine! Fine...Okay...Okay...We'll help" He turned to them then with a resigned sigh "We'll help you"

Marco's eyes shone with happiness and love for his father, he hugged him "Thank you!"

"Yeah, yeah" Nathan said gruffly, removing Marco the limpet but Levi could see how the Alpha was trying his best to hide a small smile at his sons affection, defiantly better than not helping the vampires and his son looking at him with watery hate filled eyes, Nathan didn't think he could deal with that...

"Thank you!" Mike said quickly, though a little shocked at what just happened.

Nathan looked up, his eyes going to a female werewolf with short blondish hair.

"Rico" He said "You go with them"

She grimaced but nodded curltly, before walking towards them.

Nathan said "If what you say is true the only bite that will be able to save him is a bite from a strong Beta. My bite would kill him. An omega or a weak beta's bite will only slow the poision down. Her bite will destroy the poision but is not strong enough to kill him.

"You have our gratiude" Mike said softly.

"Don't thank me" Nathan grumbled before turning away, he motioned to the pack and walked away from them, disapearing into the undergrowth, soon the werewolves and the humans followed apart from Rico.

Marco said happily "I hope your freind gets well!" Before disapearing after his father.

Rico stood stotically next to them, with her arms crossed.

"Thank you for doing this" Mike told Rico.

As they started to walk back.

"I'm only following orders" Rico said cooly, not looking at them.

Hange muttered to Levi so Rico didn't hear them "Bit harsh wasn't it? Using the kid against his own father?"

Levi asked a little sharply "Then what would you have suggested? Some truce they had with Erwin, they were all but ready to rip us apart if the kid hadn't been there"

"Brave kid, if only everybody thought like he did" Mike said wishfully.

"Mmm, You think he was stupid right?" Hange told Levi, looking at his expression.

"No, childish yes. But really, what can you expect from a child?" Levi said grimly, his voice holding an odd bitter edge.

What can you expect from a child?

"Levi..." Mike said, his voice a little more gentle than before, catching Levi's tone.

"Leave it!" Levi snapped, walking on ahead before Mike could say anything.

Rico raised her eyebrows at the bickering vampires, this defiantly wasn't what she'd been expecting.

Hange slowed down to match pace with Rico, she smiled a little crazily, the previous conversation forgotten all of a sudden "So I've always wondered, why have you all got yellow in your eyes? How fast and strong are you? Would your bite really kill us? I herd you have another form when the full moons out, and you look a little different when your angry? Is this true? How does it work?"

Mike grimaced, face palming.

Rico suprisinly despite how uncomfortible she looked answered her "Why do you're eyes flash red? Depends on the werewolf, usaully if they are an omega or beta or alpha. Only an Alpha's would, mine would probably bring you close to death but not actaully kill you. Yes and yes, thats like asking a vampire how do they work? Would they be able to ask that question? No"

Now one of those questions peaked Mikes curiousity "What do your different forms look like?"

Rico frowned, wondering if she should answer them, seeing no danger in the question though still a bit wary she said "We actaully have three different forms. When we are angry our eyes flash yellow or amber, we become stronger, our teeth sharper and are nails longer, though usaully the only difference a human can see is our eyes changing colour"

"On the full moon we tranform into our most powerful forms or shift. We basically look like the werewolves you imagine, standing on two feet, and every feature is wolf, we also lose control, only Alpha's can control themselves on full moon"

"Our third form is when we die. Our bodies take on the shape of an ordinary wild wolf. In the legends its to said to be our purest forms. The shape of our soul, only we can reach it in death. Though its rare but its been said a alpha at the peak of its power can reach this form, but I've never heard of it happening"

"That is soo interesting!" Hange said, eyes wide, clapping her hands together.

"I think Hange is about to explode with exitement, maybe you should stop her" Levi said to Mike, dryly.

Mike chuckled, shaking his head.

"I thought vampires didn't like werewolves" Levi pointed out to Hange.

"Knowledge is always better though" Hange said, her eyes shining with exitement.

They soon arrived at the building Erwin was in.

"Erwin? Erwin? We're here!" Hange called out, quickly rushing in at vampire speed to the room they left Erwin in.

He was leaning against the wall, his eyes closed, a pained expression on his face.

Erwin opened his eyes, they roamed over Hange, Mike, Levi then stopped at Rico.

"Rico" He murmured "Long time"

"It has" She said slowly.

"You know each other?" Mike asked, his eyes wideing.

"We met when I helped out with the Rogues" Erwin mumbled.

"Helped out? You basically destroyed them on your own" Rico said, though her voice showed no gratitude, it was like she was just stating facts.

"Wait, Werewolves aren't immortal, when did he do this? If you two don't know about it?" Levi wondered.

Hange snorted "Believe it or not Levi but Erwin can go away without us, we don't babysit him and he doesn't babysit us. What he does in his spare time is up to him"

"And you don't realise why I find that hard to belive sometimes?" Levi sniped back.

"Do you want me to save your sire? Or are you just going to continue arguing?" Rico asked, her eyebrows raised at them.

Levi was going to tell her to let them to continue to argue but Hange inturupted him "Oh, we're fine! Go ahead!"

Rico sighed, walking up to Erwin, she knelt down next to him.

Her voice for once softened as she readied herself for what she was going to do "You're plans won't work you knew. Even without the out of control vampires humans will always think of you as a threat"

"Not from what I saw from your pack" Erwin said, remembering when he visited.

"I meant vampires, not all the supernatural. Whether you like it or not vampires are the predetors of humans, just like lions eat antelope. Predators and prey will never get along" She warned him.

"Doesn't stop a lioness adopting a antelope" Erwin replied calmly.

His voice was still very weak but easily heard.

"You can't change them Erwin" She said softly.

"Can't I try?" Erwin muttered.

"You can try, it won't work" Rico replied as she lifted his arm to her mouth, her teeth sharpering before the vampires eyes.

"Maybe, maybe but I'll never know if I don't try" Erwin responded, with a small wavering smile, tensing, waiting for the pain that was sure to come.

"You are one of the strangest vampires I've ever met Erwin Smith" Rico said calmly, before then suddenly sinking her sharp teeth into his wrist.

It was a pain like no other, there was a reason why werewolves were vampires sworn enemies. Why werewolves had the power to overpower a vampire with a bite.

Even Erwin a Pureblood couldn't even stop or ignore the pain, he screamed and screamed.

It felt like something was ripping him apart from the inside, aganisingly slow..

Then he couldn't take it anymore and slowly everything went black.

He opened his eyes again to find he was in the same room with Hange, Mike and Levi, Rico must have left.

The pain was just a dull ache now.

He noticed they were wearing different clothes, mmm, how long had he been out?

"Thank you" Erwin said softly to his vampires.

Hange shook her head "Its not us you should thank"

To his suprise she looked towards Levi, Mike did as well...

Levi shook his head "Not me either"

"It was your plan that-" Mike was about to say.

"Its not me you should thank!" Levi said in a stronger more determind voice, cutting of Mike.

Levi looked at Erwin steadily before he said "You should say thank you to a young werewolf, not me. Without him you would still be dying, His names Marco...Marco Bott"

This couldn't be real...

Slaughter all around them.

"Who...who did this?" Mike gasped in grief.

A small boy cried, tears mixing in with the rain.

The ground emerged with blood...

"I didn't mean to..."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...Oh...Marco..."

"Jean!"

"No, no, no, no!"
