Karan was on his knees, biting his lower lip as to not let out a screem. Suddenly, the ghost seemed to become less translucent, and color began to return to the once ghost-blue face. The light had vanished, and standing before the two people was Karan, Alive.

"Well, would you look at that..." Kamiru said, pausing. "I actually did it. So, what exactly caused you to die in the first place? I find it very odd that a ghost would look like a sixteen year old." Turning to Jadelyn, he said "I don't think I can stay here with you. If there are ghosts and demons after me, I wouldn't want you getting hurt from me. Let me just re-gather my stuff..." Kamiru looked at his suitcase contents, which had dumped all over the floor when he had dropped it on the floor.

Karan was staring down at his hands, he was living once again.
He felt his velvet robes, and then he darted over to the nearby window to gaze at his reflection. "I'm...alive..." He said, his voice trembling slightly. He turned around to Kamiru, and made a deep bow. "You have no idea...how grateful I am. I will now be able to take revenge on all those bastards." Karans voice became more solem and he gazed into the sky. "I need to get my equipment..." He then looked back at the two people. "Can either of you drive?" Karan said with a smirk.

"I can." Kamiru said, gathering his belongings. "But before I drive you anywhere, I expect some questions answered. One: How did you die? Two: Who killed you? Three: Who are you taking your revenge on? Four: Why are you taking revenge on them? And Five: How did you become a ghost?" Kamiru stood up, but didn't move. "I'm not budging until you tell me, and that's all there is to it."

Zareb gazed up at the moon as he thought of the disturbances that he felt in the air hmmm looks like we have a pretty strong demon on our hands......I guess I should help out the Vamps, the cold bastards,but no one deserves to be murdered like that Zareb stood up and stretched "Father give me strength" he muttered as he jumped from the tree and ran towards the city lights.

Jadelyn sighed, her eyes going towards the ceiling, her face seemed impassive as Karan came back to life before her. She bit her lower lip, head looking back and forth between the two as they spoke. She frowned as Kamiru made to leave, feeling a sudden ache in her stomach. "You don't have to go. If anything...you should stay. I...." she frowned trying to think of a way to phrase it. "I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself...and you. I believe I have a bit more," there was another pause as she tried to choose her words carefully. "familiarity with all of this."

"What do you mean, familiarity?" Kamiru said, turning to Jadelyn. "I find it hard to believe that you could know about all of this. A demon and a ghost....did you want to tell me something?" Kamiru said, seeing the look in Jadelyn's eye. "What is it? Something doesn't seem right here..."

Jadelyn wrapped her arms over her stomach, starting to make her way towards the stairs. Her mind was a battlefield, half of it wanting to pour her heart out to Kamiru while the other half was spouting warnings that it would only lead to trouble. She leaned against the railing, refusing to meet Kamriu''s eyes. "You''ll just leave if I tell you." She laughed then, but there was no joy in the sound, it was something harsh and fragile. "It''s my fault for liking you, anyway."

"Where will I go? It's not like I can just get up and leave. Just tell me." Kamiru said, eyes glowing with sadness. "Please just tell me, I'd feel better knowing, no matter what the outcome. Besides, what if you can help me? What if I can help you? you never know what will happen in life unless you take a step out of your comfort zone, and I'm already well out of mine, what's the worst that could happen?"

"What's the worst that could happen? Well..let's see. Shall we." Jadelyn took a breath and moved at an impossible speed. In just a split second she had moved from the foot of the stairs to be standing behind Kamiru. She reached up, tapping him on the shoulder. Her pale blue eyes were faintly glowing and when she smiled there was just the slightest hint of fangs peeking between parted lips. She tilted her head to the side, voice dropping to a whisper. "If you want to run....I understand."

"Well, I'll be honest...I hadn't quite expected that...So, are you going to bite, then?" Kamiru said, not knowing what to expect. He wasn't all that willing to run, and even if he wanted to, he didn't think his legs would cooperate long enough for him to anyway. "Was this your plan all along? Were you trying to lure me in? It seemed to me like you waited an awfully long time to attack me. You had all last night to attack me. Why did you wait until just now?" Kamiru was partly stalling, and partly wanted to know. He had actually felt something for her, and here he was now, about to be killed by her.

Jadelyn gave him a hurt look, her fangs retracting. "I won't bite...unless you ask." She couldn't hide the sultry tones to her voice. "I had no intention of biting you. I didn't even want to tell you because I thought you would leave. So, no..this isn't some lure to attack you." She started to turn away from him. "I meant it when I said I liked you."
She kept her face turned from him, running a hand through her hair. I should have never let myself get this close to him..

"I didn't mean to accuse you of anything. It's just that this is all so strange to me. I've never seen anything remotely like this, and this has all happened within 24 hours. I'm just your average human, I don't know anything about paranormal stuff. Hell, I can barely pronounce paranormal. I'm just...nervous, is all." Kamiru finished, glancing out the window, keeping watch for the demon.

She nodded in understanding, turning back to look at him. "All the more reason you should stay with me. I can protect you or at least be a decent distraction." She grinned at Kamiru, the tension from her body easing as it seemed like he wasn't going to run. "I shouldn't be this involved with you, but it is something I can't help." She shrugged, smoothing out the fabric of her skirt.
"I must admit that this demon you spoke of has me worried. I'm not quite sure how to deal with him, but I definately think that we should stick together. Safety in numbers and all that." She caught herself stealing glances at Kamiru as she spoke, wondering if he was going to start to act differently around her.

Quite awestruck at what had just happened, Karan stepped back horror-struck. "A-a vampire!" He yelled, taking a few more paces back. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small vile which had a cross printed on the cork and bottle. "Stay back demon scum...!" He shouted holding out the bottle.
