Shae could sense that something wasnt right as she made her way up the steps to the landing that Allie's apartment and hers shared. She drew her knives quickly and quietly as she silently ascended the stairs her thoughts only on Allie, blessedly her past left her for the moment.
She heard the sobs even before she reached the final landing, and with a tightness clenching her chest she knew it was from Allie, Taking a deep breath to calm herself she stepped toward the door to Allie's apartment her boots making no sound as she quickly crossed the wooden floor. The she heard Jahn's soft voice float through the door, and she knew she had to act fast even as she kicked the door in she heard the attacks, the crash of broken glass and the sound she knew all too well on this side of the city, the sound of a vampire's death.
"Shit..."
That was the only word she whispered as she stepped into the room and saw only Jahn standing in the center of the room, a couple of his moronic sidekicks moaning from the ground around him and Allie's prone body motionless on the floor, her heart went out to the girl but for now her mind was on Jahn and the force that seemed to have beaten them back, for a brief second she thought she saw a shadowy figure standing in front of Jahn but believing that it was a figment of her imagination she shook it off and faced Jahn.
"So this is what you're up to now Jahn? Terrorizing the tenants?"
She kept her eyes glued to him she saw uncharacteristic shock on his face as he looked frantically around the room for whatever had attacked him, but once he heard Shae's voice he turned toward her and gave her a malicious smile.
"why if it isn't Shae...our visitor from down the hall, how charming to see you, you're just in time for dinner..."
Him and his stupid puns...She smiled, she saw the fear and uneasiness in Jahn's eyes as they darted around the room, whatever attacked him had him spooked and her gratitude...

Franks eyebrows raised slightly as he saw Shae kick the door open and make her way in. He'd almost forgotton about her. He spun as the soft sound of retreating footsteps caught his attention. Almost instinctively, his arm shoots out and into the vampires stomach, then up under the ribcage. All the undead cretin could do was gasp in pain and horror as what appeared to be a shadow grabbed at his heart. Then, the shadow began to slowly peel away, and in it's place stood Dark Seraphim, a low growl escaping from him.
He wrenched his hand out of the vampires stomach and he burst into dust. The dried up heart began to crumble in his hand and soon joined the rest of it's body on the ground. That is the good thing about vampires he mused, You only have to have a broom and a dustbin to hide the evidence.
Seraphim turned his petrifying gaze on Jahn, the steel rim on his wide brim had reflecting the moonlight eerily. Then... he looked bored. After a little bit, he sniffed and checked his watch.

Shae jumped slightly as the figure in front of her began to take form. Her attention was then divided between Jahn and this new...well threat wasnt the word, he just killed another vampire, but she didn't know if person was the word either...
She kept her gaze on Jahn but watched the Figure out of the corner of her eyes. Metal was all she could see, cold steel. She tightened her grip on her knives and while Jahn stared at the figure in terror, because truly that was the only word to decribe the look on his face, she began to circle them very slowly, her objective: To get to Allie.
As she circled the two of them, the figures face was still in shadow, so she couldnt make out his features, but she then decided whoever it was wouldn't want his identity known.
"L-look, I-i don't know who you think you are, B-but you are messing with the WRONG V-Vampire, Mister, I-i dont take kindly to intrusions..."
Shae would have laughed, Jahn's voice was shaking like her washing machine on spin cycle...Then she reached the point where she could get Allie...and she made her move, thrusting one of her knives at the door to hold it in place, she put the other one in her mouth and dove forward, and her momentum kept her going. She grabbed Allie and getting up she tossed her over her shoulder, grabbed her knife out of the door, and took off across the hall to her apartment door, banishing the enchantments and re-establishing them as she moved toward the door.
"Have Fun Jahn, I have what I came for..."

Seraphim stands there for a moment, watching Jahn with something akin to amusement in his eyes. He only spared Shae a glance at first, but watched her carefully through her graceful rescue. When he looks back at Jahn he grins beneath the bandana. He takes slow, deliberate steps to get to the terrified vampire. When he's standing right over him, he pulls the vampire up to his nose and looks right into his eyes.
"I want you to know something buck tooth. Normally, right now you would be doing a very good imitation of your friends," he motions with his head toward the few visible piles of ash, "But I'm feeling generous. Since I don't know who it was that you decided you'd feast on, I'm going to let the little lady that helped her decide. And if you live," He pulls Jahn closer so that their noses are just barely touching, "Next time you'll remember that the laws state "Only the willing may be givers of blood, and death must not come unto them unless they wish it, or they wish to rise as one of the undead." Got it?"
With that Dark Seraphim throws him down onto the ground, probably putting a crack in the wooden floor and dazing Jahn a bit, then moves across the hall and knocks politely on the door.

Shae laid Allie's limp body on her sofa in the living room, just inside the apartment door. Examining her quickly she realized that the girl was ok, and from the bruise forming on her forehead, appartently, they got to her just in time. This screamed of Jahn's handiwork too, knock em out, torture their bodies, and when they awoke...drain them of their blood while they could feel every single drop being drained from their bodies...It was shameful really, none of Jahn's victims died a peaceful death or a quick one at that...And when he turned them...well it was just as bad....
Once she was satisfied the girl would indeed wake up sooner or later, she let herself sink into her armchair and closed her eyes for a couple seconds and willed herself to relax, yet another loooong day in the Life of Shae...ugh...she needed a vacation....or at least to move out of this neighborhood...these Vamps were starting to get to her. Dealing with the frequent attacks on innocent people who take long walks around this neighborhood, and the constant tauntings from the shadows...She was sick of it...
Suddenly there was a sharp knocking on her door, her eyes snapped open and she grabbed the knife at her hip reflexively...Then she got up and walked over to the door, peeping through the peephole she saw Allie's 'savior' standing on her doorstep...she leaned against the door for a quick second to ponder why he was here...then straightening up she opened the door.
"I guess thanks are in order..."
She said as she eyed him warily, still not too sure of this...'hero' in steel armor

Seraphim waves his hand as if to brush off the thanks.
"Not at all, I merely came by to ask how you'd like to deal with your bucktoothed friend in the other room. Think of it as a once in a lifetime opprotunity to torture the torturer, so to speak," he says. Then he winks and the corners of his eyes turn up in a smile.
"It's a limited time offer though. The product could expire very soon," he adds. He has his hands folded comfortably in front of him as he waits for an answer.

Shae lened against the door considering the offer, If she killed him, another lowlife vampire would just pop up in his place, and the cycle would continue. If she let him live, He would go on a killing spree just to get to her, and she couldn't risk the lives of others for her sake...not again.
Shae sighed, violence begets violence, but it has to be done in some circumstances, like these, Nodding her head she replied,
"I think I'll just get rid of him, One less Vampire is always a good thing...just give me a second..."
She steps back inside and checking on Allie once more, she tosses a blanket over her and comes back to her door, shutting it behind her.
"Ok, "
She says as she strides toward the door to Allie's apartment

Seraphim nods his head and leads the way back to the room where Jahn is still attempting to stand up. Seraphim strides past and pushes his head down, then makes himself comfortable in a chair nearby. He puts an ankle on his knee and relaxes.
"If only I had some popcorn," he mutters to himself.

Shae walks into the room and immediately sees Jahn trying to regain his feet. With one quick kick to the back she knocks him on the ground again, on his face, and as she circled him, she began taking off her jacket, revealing her wifebeater underneath.
"So Jahn, you think I'm going to let you get away with what you tried to do?"
He was trying to get to his feet once more, so Shae walked around in front of him and squatted down til she was eye level, and lifted his chin softly with her hand. And she smiled, a smile full of malice, and she said,
"Never, I'd never let you get way with it, not you, and not your little undead friends...Not while there is breath in this body, not while im still in this universe, and if i die, someone else will step into my place and finish what i have started, and erridicate your entire race...so i hope your thoughts now are those of rage, those of fear, cause the last thing you will ever know will be me...you sick sonofabitch..."
And in the blink of a eye, she grabbed him by the throat, pulled him to his feet, whipped out the knife at her hip and stabbed him under the ribs and pushed up til she pierced his heart. As his body flaked away she simply wiped her knife off on a nearby couch and resheathed it, and stood there bretahing deeply to calm herself.

Wow, that's hot, Seraphim thinks as Shae takes her jacket off to reveal a wifebeater. He smiles under the handkerchief and stands up. He bows gently and looks at Shae again.
"It will be interesting to see what kind of havoc this causes amongst the vampires, and whether or not they will hunt you," he says.

Shae took one last deep breath and turned toward the cloaked one,
"I'm sure they will, it'll just be a matter of time...Now,"
She said grabbing her jacket off the floor, and turning to him again she held out her hand
"I have to watch over Allie til morning, All I can think to say is Thanks...and My name is Shae by the way..."

Seraphim just nods.
"I know your name. And there's no need to thank me. I was," he glances toward the window, "around. Thought I'd just lend a helping hand. Oh, and I'm F-... You can call me Dark Seraphim."
Then he brings his own hand up and shakes hers firmly. When he lets go, he looks back at the window.
"I better get going. You should be ok tonight, I'll try and get rid of those werewolves from before," he says, then he jumps out the window and blends into the shadows. He creeps around to the other side of the building, changing as he goes, and gets back into his car. Then he takes off back toward his own place.

"Werewolves from before?"
Shae stands confused in the middle of the apartment all alone after Dark Seraphim's exit. How could he know...well, the question should be how DIDN'T he know...She and Frank DID make quite a scene back there...shaking her head she turned back toward the hallway and shutting the door behind her began the walk to her apartment.
Suddenly she heard a shuffling from somewhere in front of her, and a scuffling on the stairway, then a door slamming somewhere below in the building. She shivered, they knew, The Vampires knew Jahn was gone, and they knew who killed him...She continued walking to her apartment and only when she was inside did she notice she was gripping the knife at her hip, and she let go.
Tossing her jacket on the back of the couch she peeped at Allie to see her in a much more relaxed position, perhaps she was truly asleep now, Shae couldn't tell, but she let the girl and walked to her bedroom. Gazing longingly at her bed, she hopped in the shower. Afterward with the towel draped over her shoulders and under her wet hair, she made some coffee, and sat down in the same chair as before to hold her nightwatch over Allie.

Seraphim approaches his car and quickly changes back to his normal clothes. Frank sighs. This wasn't going to be fun. He starts his car and drives off, something (god knows what) grinds loudly a he drives past Shae's window. When he reaches the street and goes down a good ways, his car is immediately stopped by a pack of werewolves jumping on it. Frank calmly steps from the car as the alpha approaches him.
"Fraaank, you killed my beta, you know that?"[/b] he asks in a growling voice. His fur is standing on end and his eyes are glowing madly. Saliva drips from his lupine jaws. Frank gives him a cold look.
"I've told you to find other hunting grounds. If you can follow a simple order like that, you don't deserve to live. I'll personally send you to visit Jahn, hows that sound?"
The alpha wolf growls threateningly. Frank holds up a fist.
"Better yet, I'll bring him here."
Frank opens his hand and dust and ashes fall out. For a moment, the werewolves seem confused. Then they look frightened.
"Jahn couldn't follow the rules either... This is your last warning."
Then he gets back in the car and drives back toward his appartment. He wondered in the back of his mind whether or not Shae would call. He'd left a card in her apartment when she'd followed him, but it was sort of a futile gesture at the same time... or so he thought.

Shae's head shot up at the sound of someone moving around. Apparently she had fallen asleep in her chair, glancing quickly to the clock she saw it was almost 5:30 am...She let her eyes shift to the couch as they adjusted to the darkness, and saw what had awoken her, Allie was beginning to wake, she stretched lightly before slowly sitting up. She looked around her in confusion before her eyes landed on Shae. She couldnt see her, Shae knew, but she knew someone was there.
Moving quietly, Shae turned on the lamp on the end table. Allie squinted at the sudden brightness, before recognizing her, Holding her head slightly, she said,
"Shae? W-where am I? what's going on?"
Shae sighed as she sank into her chair once more and removing the towel from under her now dry hair she said,
"You're in my apartment Allie, Jahn attacked you, so I brought you here...."
Allie's curious stare turned into one of comprehension, then to one of fear, and her hands flew to her lips as she whispered,
"Oh no...Jahn....he..he..."
"I know, we got there just in time..."
Allie looked up at her briefly, her young eyes so full of fear,
"I-i didnt know it was him or I wouldn't have opened the door, I wouldnt have...now...now he's gonna kill me...like he was trying to earlier!"
Her panic filled the room quickly, and leaning forward in her chair and grasping the young girl's ankle lightly, Shae waited until Allie was focused on her,
"You don't need to worry about him anymore...me and a....Friend took care of him..."
"Took care of?"
Allie repeated, her fear and panic rising to a fever-pitch...Shae sighed...the youth of this planet tried her patience...
"Yes took care of...he's gone Allie, and I'm the one who killed him..."
Allie's eyes grew large, taking in the information...
"You...killed him?..but...but that means..."
"It's means you are safe, and I am the vampires next target, and it also means I'm taking you to Moe as soon as the sun comes up..."
Allie sat in silence for a moment, staring at her knees, and after sometime she said,
"Thank you..."
Shae smiled slightly, She could feel the relief that crept through the room, finally, maybe things would go her way for a change....well until the next vamp attack that is...ugh...Then she noticed the sun's early morning rays creeping through her blinds and knew it was time to go, and sure enough she heard one long keening cry from the streets before all sounds of the night disappeared.
As She and Allie left the apartment, fully dressed and fully awake, Shae went to grab her keys from the table by the door and saw a small business card with a familiar name on it, smiling she realized who her little visitor from last night was, pocketing it, her keys and her cell phone, she decided to call the number once she dropped Allie off at Moe's...As she headed out the door, she thought back to the events of the night before...and shaking her head continued walking beside Allie. Well, this wouldn't be the first time something wanted her dead...
