   Palesa Edgar's knotted hair fell over her shoulders as she tried to breathe. She hadn't been outside in a year exactly, and the modern day sounds and smells were killing her. Vampires may heal every wound inflicted upon them while they were healthy and full of blood, she was quite the opposite. The evil Lilith had barely fed her while she tortured her with every kind of torture possible.
She knew it was a terrible idea to go into a human area while bloodlust burned her throat and blurred her controls, but she had to get further away from her captive, and the fastest way was through the English countryside. She would regret it later, but right now, she didn't care.
She stepped into a neighborhood, and took a deep breath through her nose, bringing the smells of the sickness of the city, animals, and blood. Blood her mine screeched as she started to hyperventilate to get more of the delicious scent. If she didn't fight this now, it would be the end of her by the hands of hunters.
Adrian, Esa tried to think as she put her back against a house wall, and held her hand over her nose and mouth. But they smelled of long gone blood, and only made it worse. The pain of thirst burned brighter, inflaming the tons of wounds that covered her body. She needed blood soon, or she would lose it. But the question is, if she tried to feed, will she still lose control?
Her eyes prickled as she fought against her instincts. She had won out over her instincts before with her werewolf, she could fight off this disease of a thing that plagued her body. She started to choke as the pain worsened through her body. She was hanging onto her sanity by just her fingertips. Not much longer until she lost it, and murdered innocent people.

Jack walked rather calmly down the street. He wore a relaxed black suit and tie, and his hands rested in his rather large pockets. Despite how he may have looked on the outside, Jack was all but flailing wildly inside his mind. Lilith, the one he had referred to again and again as 'Momma' more or less out of endearment rather than anything else, had taken his daughter. Palesa had disappeared a little over a year ago, and yet Jack had only learned of this a day previous from one of his friends. A smile whipped on Jack's face, yet there was a very consistent hum of London Bridges as he walked. Momma you have stepped too far on this one.... he thought to himself feeling a tad sharper than before. If it came down to it, he'd kill a parent before watching a child die... especially one like Esa. She hadn't left him yet... No not in the manner of lovers, but when his girls, his children, left. Aurora had disappeared despite when she had asked for his help. He always assumed that her creator had come back for her, and they simply left somewhere, but still...
All these thoughts and the music buzzed in the back of Jack's mind, yet when he rounded a corner and caught sight of what was there, everything froze. ......Esa.......The dark haired vampire was next to her in half a second. "Esa...wha-......." he opened his mouth to question but closed it again as the look in her eyes conveyed everything. She was starving. Jack's form twitched for a good moment before he simply pulled up the sleeve on his shirt and held it out. He had no blood bags with him. Why had he thought.... what had he thought when he hadn't brought any with him. "Esa, drink damn it...." Jack ordered as the thoughts from before had faded away from concern. Vampire blood was not very nutritious in all instances, but it would soothe what Jack saw.... the sudden bloodlust that was in her.

Esa barely acknowledged that her "father" was next to her before her mind locked in on the offered arm. She knew too that vampire blood wasn't nutritional to anybody but between sire and fledgling, but she would take any blood, just to have a kind of strength. Her body burned painfully strong as she unsteadily reached out and encompassed Jack's arm before pulling it violently to her face.
Her thirst-caused gaunt face stretched into disturbing shapes as her canines seemed to lengthen. She pressed them into his arm, and began to drinking, nearly moaning as the blood touched her burning throat. It tasted weird, and her body continued to burn, but her mind cleared a tiny bit as she tried to push past it, and unclench her jaw from Jack's arm.
Painfully, she extracted her mouth from the open wounds in his arm, and looked up at Jack, her eyes faded and unfocused. Esa's deathly pale skin had started to warm up a small bit, but she still needed a lot of human blood before she knew that the bloodlust would be under any kind of control. Some of Jack's crimson blood was smeared across her mouth, but she didn't have the energy to wipe it away.
"Jack... how'd you find me?" She nearly cried as she looked up at her adoptive father.

Jack didn't answer the question but simply looked down at his arm and then picked Esa up bridal style right then and there and started running extremely fast through the area keeping his sharp for a hospital or blood bank. He could easily run inwards with the speed that no one would notice and take up some blood bags. In a matter of a second, Jack indeed found one. Setting Esa down on the side of the hospital, Jack stared at her for a moment. "Do not move, Esa," he stated all but sharply before quickly getting up again and running straight into the hospital.
The beauty of hospitals was that when one had lived it one for a extremely long time, all hospitals began to look the same. Those that were passing could possibly only see a blur if anything at all. He found the blood storage, seized as many bags as he could, and then quickly ran out again. "Esa...." Jack stated looking to where he had left her before.

Esa was on her feet, leaning heavily against the hospital wall, and had started to stumble against it. She was fighting a losing battle with her bloodlust, and only being weak is what kept her from killing somebody. Inhaling deeply, she choked; the smell of disinfectant was too strong for her to even try breathing that way. Falling into her bloodlust, and started to rely on her instincts until she heard Jack say her name.
With his voice came the smell of the chilled bloodbags, and she quickly turned and rudely grabbed one from his hands and tore it open before downing it with ease. The thirst started to lighten, but was slow to release her from the clutches of bloodlust. As soon as the was finished in the bag, she threw it to the side of her, and reached for a second, and did much the same. When she got to the third bag, she stopped herself from grabbing it, and looked up at Jack. She licked her lips of the blood, and forced herself to stand.
Still unsure on her feet, Esa stumbled against Jack and hugged him tightly, happy to be out of Lilith's clutches and with her best friend as it dawned on her again that Lilith had let her leave. Her stomach growled loudly, and she nearly laughed; everything was so surreal to her at this very moment, that she didn't care that she looked like crap, and she didn't care that if Jack hadn't been her best friend for a very long time, she would probably be afraid of him being a vampire.

Jack took the hug and hugged Esa back, yet after a moment, he released her and handed her the other eighteen bags that he had with him. "Drink..." he ordered breathing out with a smile. "You look terrible...and not just in the 'you need some makeup and nail polish' terrible either." Jack frowned and shook his head. For the first time, he noticed that a steady amount of pale blood was still trickling from his arm. Sighing, the old vampire brought his wrist up to his own mouth and licked the blood away sealing his own wound as he went. However, in that moment, the sudden feeling hit him. Lilith was near.... Jack's head shot towards Esa again. "We need to move... " he stated aloud.

Esa froze mid-tear, and nearly dropped the blood bags that she had piled in her arms. The thought of seeing Lilith terrified her, and without much more thought, and secured the bags in her not so secure clothing, and started running as fast as she could, which was no where near to as fast as she was usually, and not even close to a speed that would outrun the vampire queen; but she had to get away from her tormentor.
When she started to slow from weakness, she tore open another bag and downed it as she tried to jog at the same time. She felt Jack's hand against her back, urging her on to run faster then she could, but she still pushed on, running for the werewolf's forest, a place that the Vampire Queen wouldn't bother to enter.
"Why must she follow me still? Is it not enough that she tortured me for a year, and nearly killed me of thirst? I wish I were free of her for the rest of my eternal life," Esa cried.

Jack said nothing even as he ran. He was running rather slowly by his own standards, but he would not abandon Esa now. Not a chance. As she began to talk in stressed tones, all Jack found himself thinking was that there wasn't a way to get away completely. If he was the Ripper, Lilith was the Executioner at this point for even helping Esa.
"Less talking more running," he answered back continuing to try and rush her if only a bit more. The werewolf forest was coming up but not fast enough. Several people even seemed to catch sight of them running. That was going to be a hell to explain if he ever found himself having to come back here again.
A suit was not good to run in, and soon enough, Jack had shed his jacket and threw it back before looking towards Esa. "Almost there," he encouraged before looking back towards the forest again. Only a few more miles now.....

Esa could hear Lilith's approach; could almost feel a shadow fall over her back as she tried to push herself to get to the forest. Get there, and she was safe. Get there, and she had a chance to see Adrian again. She wasn't sure what was worse, the feel of the terrible Mother of Darkness chasing her, or knowing the feeling of her torture, and knowing that if caught again, it would be much worse then last time.
She fought not to look back, because she knew that if she did, she would freeze in place, and she would be captured like a dumb mouse by a cunning cat. But Jack's words of encouragement and the feel of him by her side forced her to ignore the threat, and just get to the werewolf forest.
In the last steps she felt a hand grasp at her shirt, causing her to stumble, but her shirt was weak, and was easily torn, and she was able to make it beyond the boundary that meant safety. Quickly she turned around, and found herself staring at the vampire queen who was only feet away. Esa thanked anyone that listened that the rivalries between the species and their queens or kings have escalated, because that was the only way that kept Lilith away.
But that also meant that they were trespassing.

Jack was still not looking back even as they finally got into the forest. He just kept walking and seemed to have a very tense look on his face as though he were about to turn and slash down all the trees in the forest even without a chainsaw. That was bad....very bad.... was possibly the only thing that crossed his mind. However, after this initial thought, something else hit him. They were trespassing and just asking to be killed by yet another foe if they weren't careful. However, another thought came to mind as well... Xavier... he hadn't seen him in forever, it seemed. There was something that soothed him about this but also made him tense as well. Stupid paradoxical emotions.
"Esa....." he sighed finally turning his full attention back to her. His eyes ran over her form and assessed it for all that it was.

"Jack, it feels like its been much longer then just a year of being locked there. I can't imagine what could have changed, whose still alive, and what's happening among the other species. I only know that there seems to be a kind of cold war going on between the royalties because Lilith was grumbling about it once," Esa said, only taking pauses to take deep drinks from the bags that she had taken out of where she had stuffed them.
She watched as the wounds across her body started to heal, albeit slow. She knew that Lilith had probably had the intent of killing her, but hadn't gotten the chance to before she had let her go. It was either of death that her purposes were leaning towards, or to teach her not to fall in love with those that she does not approve of. She didn't care which it was, she just wanted to never see Lilith in her life.

Jack said nothing for a few seconds but then finally nodded slowly as though he were trying to find the words first. "When you disappeared, Adrian and I went looking for you," he answered back. "But I had no idea that M-..Lilith had taken you....Until I learned of it from a friend of mine.... and when I came looking for you here... here you are...." he finished and managed a half smile. "You had me worried...." She still worried him, in truth. If they remained in the forest too long, they could easily be attacked, and Esa wouldn't have the strength to defend herself like she normally could. This was still... a bad situation. Jack found himself listening intently for any sound of approach even as they walked.

Esa frowned, "I had been out, getting some blood bags of my own when Lilith came out of no where, talking about how I was being wrong to what I was, and if I had wanted to be with a werewolf, I should have chosen to be a werewolf. Then she stabbed me with an absinthe coated blade to take me down. I hope that I'll never be forced to drink that crap again." She shook her head in disgust and the remembrance of her year with Lilith.
With a crackle of a leaf behind them, she whirled around and stared into the maze of trees around them, and continued to walk, only backwards. She wouldn't believe that what she had heard was only the wind. "Do you think somebody is following us?"

Jack internally cringed at the word absinthe mostly for what it was. As Esa asked about the something following them, Jack seemed to tense even more. Shifting around his thoughts a bit, the dark haired man closed his eye and started to listen closer. Not far off, he heard something move, and in half a second, he ripped a branch off of a nearby tree and threw it like a bullet straight at the movement only to receive the feverish cry of a bird who quickly took flight at the scare. Jack rubbed his temple slowly. No. This was not good. He was getting too tense. He needed to clam down. "I think we need to keep moving," Jack finally stating managing to force a light air in his voice.

Courtez walked carefuly through the streets licking his lips. He had just finished feeding off a cute guy when he say Jack and some girl walk into the forest. His hear stopped as he felt the presence of her and in fear he ran towards the forest. If Jack was running away from her then he would to. He would always fallow Jack and since he turned him, he would never doubt his judgement ever.
He ran in with little on his mind to where he was going but chased after them. He also covered their tracks and smeared some leftover human blood he had collected on the trees to drive the followers crazy and distract them. Finally far enough in, he stopped and catched up with them. After seeing Jack almost implae the bird with a branch he took steps a little more cautiously. Finally in a whisper he called," Jack it's me Courtney. I have come to help."
