Chapter 2- Stood up in Greece

The three of them came off the bottle that had arrived in the ports of Greece near the Atlantic Shrine. Gwendolyn got of the boat with grace, like a young lady should. Eric helped her out of the boat and onto the port. John looked upon the hills and saw the shrine that the Succubus mentioned and where Elizabeth was lurking.

Eric and Gwendolyn stayed in a double bed hotel room, whilst John was to sleep in a single room next door to the couple. His fiancée was somewhat tired, so she came to lie on the bed and Eric came to lie by her side. The two of them looked into each others eyes and it was Eric who made the first move.

He kissed his fiancée and she returned his kiss. The little kiss quickly turned into a hot fiery kiss of burning passion. The two of them suddenly found that they needed each other and they didn't want to be a part.

John knocked on the door that led into where Eric and Gwendolyn were sleeping, but what he saw shocked him. Even though that they slept in a double bed last night and they sleep in one in England, the temptation was there. The two of them got caught out. Gwendolyn lay on top of her fiancé, underneath the covers. It was pretty obvious what they did last night.

John crept over to the sleeping couple and gently woke Eric up from his dreams.

"What's that matter John?" he asked.

"You shouldn't have done that out of wedlock." he replied.

Gwendolyn suddenly showed signs of waking up. Her eyes began to flick open as her brain began to take in the situation.

"John? Oh, you want Eric, don't you?"

"Yes, I was just talking to him about what you two did last night."

"What? Eric. Are you jealous John?"

"Me? No."

"Then why does our love making bother you then?"
"It doesn't. Just the fact that you two aren't married."

"Then we'll find a Church and get married. Sound good."

"Far enough darling." Eric said and he gave his fiancée a kiss.

"I'll go and investigate the shrine then." John said.

John soldiered on, alone. To the watery shrine of Greece. He wasn't mad at Eric, he was happy for him. He just wished that they could have got married with Gwendolyn's parents there to support the two of them and Eric's uncle. He would have been a blast if he got drunk at the wedding reception.

Suddenly, the young Morris heard the sound of wings flapping. He looked around, his eyes quickly darting over the area, before he saw a Succubus. Then he noticed that it was the same one from a few months ago.

"SO!" John said to get her attention, "Where's Elizabeth?"

"Well, she's not here. Where's your friend?"
"He's at his wedding."

"That was quick for a wedding to occur. You must be so happy for him."

John shrugged, "She's a nice girl. I think he would have preferred a Spanish chick."

"Really. I guess you friend is Spanish then?"

"That doesn't matter. Do you know where Elizabeth has gone?" John demanded.

"Well, she mentioned that she wanted to go to the Leaning Tower of Pisa."

"Italy? Lovely. Eric isn't going to like another move."
"He's going to get annoyed at you." she said flying away.

Eric happily walked out the Church with his new bride by his side. Gwendolyn clung onto Eric's arm as John raced up to the two of them. Eric wasn't pleased to see him with a worried look on his face.

"Eric I have news." John said as he tried to catch his breath.

"Can't it wait? Me and Eric are officially on a honey moon."

"Honey moon? No it can't wait. Elizabeth has moved to Italy. She has taken refuge in the Leaning Tower of Pisa."

"Great. Well, Gwendolyn's right. We're on our honey moon."
"Eric. This is unprofessional. Think of all the innocent people that could be killed ,just because you're on a honey moon with your new bride."
"And think of all the people that will die whilst we're travelling to Italy." Eric retaliated.

"Fine, we'll stay here for a bit."

xxxxxxxxx-(Italy)

"Eric we're in Pisa. I never been to Italy before! It's beautiful. We should have come here for our honey moon Eric."

John signed as Eric gave his wife a passionate kiss. The other Vampire hunter purposely pulled Eric away from his new wife. He was beginning to grow impatient with his childhood friend.

"We can't miss her this time." John said.

Eric huffed, "Ok, I don't want you going alone again. I'm sorry Gwendolyn."
"Eric, I'd rather you kill this Vampire then to spend time with me and I enjoy exploring Europe." she replied.

The two hunters had to go to the Church, before setting of to the tower of Pisa. Eric walked into the Church first and asked one of the nuns if she would be kind enough to fetch the Vicar. He walked up to the two men with a proud posture, brown hair and blue eyes.

"What is the matter gentlemen?" the Vicar noticed that the two men that stood before him were Vampire hunters. He wasn't too pleased about seeing the two hunters.

"Hello father. I am Eric from the Lecarde family."

"Lecarde? Ah yes. Spanish hunters and you are."

"John Morris sir."

"Morris? Americans, lovely. What have you two been called out for?"
"We're hunting a Vampire call Elizabeth Bartley." John said.

"We need you to close the tower off to the public, if you don't mind?"

"Sure sir Lecarde. I guess you think that the Vampire is in there."

John nodded, "We know she's in there. Eric will sense her out if he has to."

"Alright, this is kind of important. You two go off to the tower, I'll send someone over there to close it off to the public for you."
