"Hey! Please show some manners" Allec began to lower her blade slowly in fron of the stranger. Then he look at the old man and said " It's best for you to leave this place, because its dangerous."

(Sorry guys Im on PST, So im asleep here)

Looking up at the two individuals Zhoralel stood up once again. He was much taller that the other two. His golden irises glowed with a warm light.
"Um... I'm just an old lost traveler," he hesitated to say as he addressed the woman.
"And you are right," this time his attention was on the boy, "it is dangerous here." Zhoralel looked back down the hallway something felt wrong to him. Turning back to the group, "Where is here exactly?" he said.

Clara wasn't practically sure on where they were exactly. A name was not even mentioned in the diary, but from the obvious satanic symbols and signs carved around the walls, she knew that they were standing before the chamber of demons -- a sacrificial place of darkness and evil. However, Clara didn't want to be the one to respond for she wanted to leave all the talking to Allec. So, she just stood silently while examining the old man and at the back of her mind, she wondered what he might be. And thinking about it, she started to worry...

" To clarify this shortly, that this village was abandoned for 3 months that many campers disapear. But unfortunately we discovered their corpses that some of them are eaten and some use for a demonic sacrifice. After all the investigation we manage gather enough clue on this incident." Allec pause for a little that he continue." I dont know if your a human or not, but there is a Inn I know that you may take some rest in your travels." Allec grab a paper and draw a map then gave it to the old man. "Now its nice talking to you but me and this lets say someone that we have finish business to do."

"Thanks" Zhoralel says as he takes the map. "But are you too sure you'll be fine. Two young adults like yourselves could get hurt." Despite his appearance Zhoralel's voice was still young. He glanced at the girl looking at Zhoralel and with a cough, "Ah you should be fine, but if what you say is true I should stay with you. Besides I might hurt myself trying to leave." He said with a smile. "I presume you saw what happened to me when I first came here, right?"

Clara, still being silent by Allec's side, sensed the stranger's stare, so she looked away with slight tension. And just as he asked if he could come along with them, she made a subtle jolt that was barely even noticeable. She honestly didn't want him to come with them. Not because of dislike or anything, but because of fear which Clara desired not to reveal. However, she also didn't want to abandon anyone who had not done anything wrong or who was indeed in need of protection. Besides, who knows on what will happen?

"I will agree to whatever your decision will be..." Clara abruptly said to Allec as she looked at him seriously. "But it is your responsibility on what will happen next... Now, I'll go ahead and check if it's safe." Then she went forward, not looking back.

"To be honest...magic is just a joke for me. But you can come along with us as long you stay behind us in case of danger." Allec turn back went back to the chamber that he carried the corpses of the campers then he went outside. After that he grab a old shovel near the house and start digging. He gathered all the corpses and put it inside a hole filled with branches and leaves. He set up a fire then burn the corpses that he nod his head and " May your soul be at peace ". After that they went outside of the abandoned village.

Zhoralel helped carry the bodies of the campers, finally getting a chance to examine what he could. Finding nothing he couldnt help but feel sad, these people had died in a way no mortal should. as he watched the flames engulf the bodies he saw Allec praying for the souls of the dead. He couldnt help but notice that the woman was acting strangely as if she was avoiding Zhoralel. This made Zhoralel curious could she see what he was or was it something else.
"My presence worries you, doesn't it?" He said to Claranette, his tone was different from before, more soft and concerning as if he wanted to help.

Clara was minding her own business, thinking to herself as she watched the moon continue to give away its radiance. Its rays were somehow giving her more energy than before. However, as she was doing this, she started to look at Allec and wonder about something.

It was her idea that they should work together in solving the mysteries in the village, but for some reason, she noticed that they have not been cooperating together that much especially when it comes to thinking it out. Yes, they might have agreed with each other to some point so far, but that's just because Clara was just going along with what Allec's decisions were. It would be nice if he'd share his thoughts with her or even give her more detail on what was in his mind, so she could further understand his methods and be more helpful. But she guesses that's just his personality. He did say before that he preferred to work alone.

While thinking about Allec and wondering if she should just go along with him 'til the end or just leave and finish the mission herself since teaming up didn't seem to be working, she was interrupted by Zhoralel's voice. But she didn't bother to argue about it.

"Not at all, sir." She replied immediately yet calmly, not wanting to bring too much attention to herself. "But may I ask? Why have you come here in the first place?"

After giving a proper burial, Allec grab his smartphone and start calling his client. Then he gave a report and the his client was please by his work. Allec finish his call that he went to the outside village where clara and the old man were. Before he's about to exit he notice something from behind that calling his name "Allec...". He heard it and turn his head back that he saw his late sister Alicia. Allec blink that after she disappeared, ALlec though to himself "Maybe I'm just seeing things..." So he continue to walk outside the village.

"Like I said before, Im just an old lost traveler." Zhoralel wasn't convinced about the woman. But he didnt have time to worry about it. Walking over to Allec Zhoralel spoke, "So now that the bodies have been laid to rest, what are you going to do about the one or ones who caused it?" Zhoralel was honestly curious.

"I'll let my client do the part because he's a cop" After that word Allec started to cough that he covers his mouth when he cough. After that he saw a little blood on his hand that he gently grab his med and started to take it. when he grab from his coat a picture fell down on the ground and on that picture is his beloved sister Alicia.

Zhoralel picked up the photo and handed it to Allec, "Its has been my expeirence to let those who want to talk about the past do so on their terms." He said. "But let me ask you this, your partner there, why the cold shoulder?"
he said with a nod back at Claranette

" It's because...I don't want to trust anyone that they may put a smile on their face but behind their back...thats where decisiveness show. The picture you have pick, that was was my older sister that she took care of me when my mom and dad died on a car accident 10 years ago. But my older sister always there to cheer me up, even when I'm just a spoiled brat back then that she always scold me with religious manner. But its worth that I learned from it until then." After that answer he remembered on his mind the tragedy happen to her sister that he even cough more blood out of his mouth even though he already take his med. His eyes widen and he breath heavily that he hold his chest tightly grip.

Zhoralel knew what he meant, not everyone is a saint. But as Allec began to cough more blood up Zhoralel stopped his train of thought. Putting a hand on Allec's chest Zhoralel could feel the internal damage that was causing Allec pain.
"Hey hold up, Girl!" He shouted, "Help us out here, he's coughing up blood."

Allec face become pale and his expression that he saw something horrifying that he started to screaming. While he was screaming the memories were shown to him the deaths of his sister that was killed by a blood sucking beast that he lose control of his sanity.

"Well thants not good." Zhoralel said as Allec began screaming. "I'm really sorry about this." and with a swift punch into the solar plexus Allec was out. Zhoralel lifted Allec over his shoulder and began walking to the town. "Hey Vampire you have money right?" he said with out looking at the girl.

((Sorry for not always being online. I wish I can be here often so that you guys won't have to wait for me all the time. ))

It may seem that Clara didn't care about what happened since she was being silent and motionless all throughout, but just as Zhoralel was about to shoulder carry Allec back to town, the sound of a motor bike was heard from the distance. And just before finding out who might be coming, a strong arm pulled the both of them, Allec and Zhoralel, on board the bike. It was Clara. She actually gone off to get her bike just when Allec started coughing.

"Hold on." Clara said while going faster and so they rode their way back in town and found a convincing medical center. However, no one was around due to the fact that the place was abandoned, which was something that Clara carelessly forgot about. "Damn. We have no time to get to the next town...unless..." She looked at Zhoralel, "Can you keep a secret?"

"Yes I can." He said. "But we got to hurry, his lungs are filling up with blood." Zhoralel moved Allec over to better balance the three on the bike.

Clara nodded with agreement, "Okay then." But she didn't mean through bike. She got off quick, took a short distance from the two, and slowly started to reveal her true self.

Clara was no ordinary woman. Her light brown eyes slowly glowed a vibrant red. Her canines grew and sharpened. And just as she clenched her fists, something started to escape from her back. With a loud groan of pain, a pair of skinny bat wings with metal spikes at its edges opened up.

"Hurry. I'll carry you both." Clara said and quickly grabbed them both, carrying them to the next town as fast as she could. And before they knew it, Clara flew down close to a hospital but somewhere where they can't be seen. "Go! Take him in."
