Elder finally caught up, but he was being chased by a giant mutant hamster.

Hearing something crashing around through the trees, Sterling jumped to his feet and readied his blade. Only to stop and bite back a laugh. Elder looked positively harassed by a rodent...with super sharp fangs and tiny little wings on its back.

The mutant hamster paused and then leaped for Elder's neck, wings flapping vainly to gain more height.

Elder looked back, turned pale, and ran faster. But tripped over his tail and landed facefirst into the ground, bladed tail tip raising up when he fell. Dark stifled a laugh. ''Seriously?'' Dark inquired.

"I'll take care of it." He flung a throwing dagger at the mutant hamster, pinning it in mid-flight, against a tree by one of its wings. "There you go, Elder. Take your revenge."

Elder staggered to his feet, then cleaved the poor hamster in half with ease. He flinched, the headed back over to Sterling, tail blade dripping blood. ''When do hamster grow wings?!''

"When did demons get to be afraid of rodents?" Sterling retorted. "I don't know; I don't keep track of useless information like the evolutions of demons and half demons and partial angels and all that crap." He stomped over to the bleeding mutilated mutant hamster and retrieved his dagger, wiping it clean with a handful of leaves before stuffing it back into its sheath.

"We should go before more vampires are attracted to the smell of blood."

Elder hops onto Darks back. Dark growls, snorting, but nods. ''How far away are we from the Vault now?'' Elder asked.

"We'll make it there by evening." Sterling replied. "Of course we would. When the Masters are actually able to move around." He contemplate the paste in his hand and then stuffed it into a pocket. "Well...the sooner we get there, the better."

''What is a Master vampire, anyway?'' Elder dared to ask. Dark grumps. ''Dangerous vampires that few can face alone and survive...'' He said, staring out silently like knew something.

"They're a creature of the night with twice the strength of normal humans; and an appetite for blood. They also turn humans and Hunters into vampires." Noticing Darkness' posture, he falls quiet and readies his sword.

''I was a normal demon until I encountered a Master vampire...'' He drifted on, then flinched. ''But thats mpt important. Let's go on.'' He replied hastily, cringing at something.

"Not important? Not important? That's--please tell me you've killed the master vampire that turned you? Because the ones I know can track all of their turned... Ah hell. Please don't tell me it was Relan that turned you."

If Relan was a master vampire--that would be even worse!

Darkness flinched badly, and didn't reply, muscles tensed. ''It's still alive...'' He hissed, flinching again. ''I couldn't kill it...'' And he shut his eyes tightly. ''I tried...But it won..''

Sterling smacked himself in the face, before recalling that that probably wasn't the best idea. His sore face protested and he bit back a yelp.

"Alright, we'll do what I did with Kai. We'll have to hope that if the master vamp does try to find you, or recognizes you, that we can set up a trap for it. I don't know if you'll be controlled at all, based on your demon and angel blood...but it's worth a shot. Elder, anything you wanna comment on before we enter the hornet's nest?"

''I'm more demon than angel.'' As he rattled a chain in front of Sterling with a hiss.

''Well, it seems to me that the master vampire turned Dark into a vampire.'' Elder inquired, shrugging.

"Right; I'll try not to forget that..." Sterling muttered. As if he could. He shouldered his pack and got to his feet and readied his equipment; he was ready to go.

"Alright then, Dark, how'd you manage to become a Were before that?"

''A werewolf bit me when I was protecting my mother. I know people say that werepyres can't exist, but I do. Genes of the two are always colliding. Thats why I stayed hidden, knowing hunters would do anything to get hold of me..''

"Depends how it works," said Sterling. "If you have to feed on humans or blood, then yes, Hunters have a major problem with that. Quite frankly,Weres have gotten so out of control that we just do a mop up every so often, but they also only usually change once a month, so it's not so bad. Just a nuisance, really." He sighed and shook his head.

''Werepyres are a deadly mix of a vamp and werewolf. They appear as wolf normally. But...If theres ever a blood red moon at night..Please for your safety...Don't be around me.''

"Blood red moon? We haven't had one of those in decades. Two and a half, to be precise. And that was no walk in the park." He grimaced. "Actually, because of that, that's why I turned to hunting vampires instead of werewolves."
