The sky darkened when Rayn approached the entrance of the cavern. Her heart pounded with caution as she stepped foreward. Her features were passive as she walked though, the sound of a child's whimpering had drawn her attention.
"I'm comming," she told herself. She was unaware of the vampire lying in wait. Rayn went deeper inside the cavern, comming to the very chambers that held crystals and emeralds and so much more. Her breath was taken in as she took everything around her in.
The high pitch wail of a child in danger drew her attention again. She turned to see a man holding a young child in his hands. Fear was etched deeply in the child's face, his arm dislocated, tears falling down his dirty face.
"Come to me and he lives," came the dark command that slithered from the raspy throat.
Rayn stared at him. "Release him. He's just a child." Tentativly, she reached out for the boy.
A venomous hiss came. The vampire held the boy between both hands. She dashed foreward to take the kid, only to watch in horror as the boy's skull was crushed.
Stumbling, rayn fell to her knees, holding her stomach and threw up. The undead appeared at her side, pushing her against the rocky wall, pinning her in place. The feel of his vile touch made her even more sick. She felt bruises starting to form on her back and shoulders from the pressure of his grip and being pinning against the wall.
Foul breath and teeth touched her delicate throat as the vampire leaned in to claim her....

The air in the cave became charged with power as a deep, loud, angry growl filled the area.
The Vampire hunter Demise was upon the vile one in an instant, sending and earth shattering blow to his head and grabbing at his arm.
The power this ancient hunter radiated was tremendous, and it clung to him as if it were his own skin.
The wind outside kicked up as the hunter's rage grew, and a storm brewed.
With the Vile one's arm in his hand, he hurled him back, further into the cave.
"You have made a very dangerous mistake....."
The hunter lunged forward, after the evil creature, sending another powerful blow his way.....

Rayn slid to where she sat, holding her stomach and curling up into a ball, tears threatening to come. She shuddered, trying not to feel the revulsion. her head swam from the nausea she experienced.
The vampire screeched in outrage. "She's unclaimed." He snarled, blood staining his daggerlike nails. He sent a blow to the hunter, though he may have been trying to fight the sunfor all the good it would have done him.

Dalanor became naught more than a blur as he sidestepped the blow, and moved in, close to the Vampire.
With his left hand, he reached out and grabbed the creature by his throat.
"Unclaimed she may be, but that does not give you the right. You have given up your chance at a lifemate, and thus you will be eradicated from this world by the order of our Prince."
With his right hand, he thrust into the Vampire's chest, ripping the gnarled, vile heart from the undead vermin.
The black, toxic blood burned at the hunter's flesh, but it seemed not to phase him. A bright blue bolt of lightning arched through the air, incinerating the heart, and he tossed it atop the body of the evil one, and watched as all traces of the creatures blood and remains were burned to ash.....
He stood a moment, with his back to Rayn.
He hadn't made it to save the youngling, and he was troubled by that....
"An unnecessary death...."
He turned to her.
"I am sorry i did not arrive sooner. What were you doing out here in the first place? You could have been killed."

She frowned but was too tired and shocked of what she'd seen to argue, let alone get mad. "I heard the boy...How was I to know it was that viled thing whatever it was?"

He sighed. She was frustrating sometimes.
"You still have much to learn young one....in time you will learn to know a trap when you sense it. You are not at fault."
He moved to her and took her into his arms.
"I still do not see why you refuse to accept me. I cannot effectively protect you as things stand now."

She tensed a moment, before burying her face into his chest, wanting to hide away from the sight of the boy's body on the ground. She still felt sick to her stomach...
"I've been on my own for a long time...can you blame me for not wanting to be claimed so soon?"

"No, I cannot blame you at all. But, as long as you are unclaimed, you are in danger. They will continue to come after you, and in greater force."
He felt the beating of her heart, and he couldn't help but smile. It was nice having her close to him.....
"Besides, could it be SO bad being with me? I mean, after all, I AM quite attractive..."

"Don't you get a hot head."
She pouted at him, feeling her stomach settle awhile. She cuddled close, breathing his scent in, finding amusement with how she was calming...

He chuckled to himself as he gazed down at her beautiful visage.
"I really do not know what I would do without you...."
He caressed her cheek lightly.
He never wanted to see her that close to a vile one again....

She didn't want to be near such filth again if she could help it.She still held her stomach, not thrilled with memory of the child being killed but not really wanting it to go away.
"You couldn't do a thing without me.." she teased, attempting to lighten the mood, more for herself.

He smiled at her in amusement.
"Is that what you believe?"
Looking at her then, he felt the need rise in him, but he managed to supress it. He couldn't believe how easily she got to him...

She thought a moment before nodding. "Yes...yes I do."
She curled up more, seeking the protection of his arms without realizing it. "what do we do about the boy...?" She asked quietly.

He shook his head.
"There is not much we can do...we will have to leave his body where someone will find it. I'm sure his family will want to know he is departed."
He wished there was more he could do.
"We can't bury him and not allow his family the knowledge that he was killed..."

"I feel as though it was my fault..."
She closed her eyes, the feeling of guilt washing over her. She could have stopped the boy from dying...couldn't she? her hands shaped into fists, clutching his shirt as they did so....
