Ambush

[orestes]

My attempts at getting close to her had not gone well. The dreams the old hag had sent to her seemed to make no impression at all... perhaps her nightmares were that bad anyway. So i would simply wait until she or one of her little band crossed the path of my rapidly growing clan. They were all over the graveyard tonight, each ready to close in the second the call was sent up. I grinned to myself- she wouldnt even recognise me when she saw me... but i was so anxious to see her face when she realises...

"That's five within two minutes," I muttered. I was supposed to be meeting Rogue at teh Spot, and had decided on a quick patrol. But there were far too many vampires for my liking. "Mal, sit rep."

"I don't like the looks of this, Doc," Mal answered through the comm link. "There are too many vampires out there. You should meet Rogue as planned and handle it later. With the full group."

"I think you're right," I said, heading for an exit. "Tell the gang to steer clear tonight. we'll deal with this tomorrow."

"Agreed."

[orestes]

The message was out in moments- this guy was far too good to not be affliated with her... and there was something about him, a strange feeling... before he got close to the exit there was a quintet of vampires infront of him, and a trio behind. He wasnt going anywhere.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Well, well, well," I said, drawing my Soul Sabre. the mystical weapon sung as it lengthend, changing into a scimitar. "So, a trap it is, hm? Question is, who is the trap for."

[orestes]

He fought incredibly well for a mere mortal. This group was getting more and more intriguing. I sent out another message via the nearest minion- no one else was to enter the graveyard... except of course if she herself came along.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Let me guess," I said, as i finished those eight and more stepped from the shadow. "You're boss put an add in the classifieds. 'Dumb minions wanted to throw their lives away. Apply at LA Nutso Ward'."

[Maya]

Ah, Aila was out with Amy and Jess, Doc said he'd patrol... Josh and I had the place to ourselves for once. He poured the wine, and we snuggled up on the sofa to watch and incredibly sappy film i'd never let Doc know i owned, and i sighed happily. Minutes later the wine glasses were sitting fogotten, and Josh was kissing my neck... and thats when it hit me. I suddenly pushed him away, my eyes wide as an awful sensation clenched my heart.
"Mai?" Josh gasped, "Whats up?"
"I gotta go." I exclaimed as i leapt up and pulled on my boots.
"Mai?"
"Docs in trouble." I snapped.
"He is...? How'd you know?" Josh was now alert.
"Dunno. Just do." I said, grabbing an axe from teh kitchen worktop and sprinting out of the door, josh scrabbling for his shoes behind me.

I ran full pelt through the streets, knowing exactly where Doc was. When i got to the graveyard, i could feel the vampiric presence immediately- there were dozens of them in there. I stepped into the yard and immediately there were four infront of me.

... but one shook his head, and they parted. I got the feeling that this was my only chance to get to Doc. A more obvious trap I had never seen, but i didnt care, i'd cross that bridge when i came to it.

[orestes]

I grinned, watching the man from the top of a tomb, and feeling her prescence even before the message reached me. My little slayer was on her way. How exciting.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"You guys," I beheded three at once, "don't know," my Sabre shifted form, changing into a double lance, "who," two dusted, athird landed on ihs back, dust flew through the air moments later, "you are MESSING WITH!"

[Maya]

Doc raised his sword to the next row of bad guys, but they suddenly burst into flames and were dust in moment.
"Really, really dont." I agreed with a grin.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Heya, sis," I said with a matching grin. "Weren't you meant to be having anight off? Not that i mind seeing you or anything," I took two more vamps down in quick succesion. "I always love these brother/sister bonding moments."

[Maya]

"Had this sudden feeling you could use a hand." I replied, slicing three heads off in one swing. "Do we know who these prats are working for yet?"

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Nope," I said. "But the word 'trap' just won't leave me alone. Mal, sit rep."

"The Graveyard is now completely cut off," Mal answered. "Strangely, the vampires seemed to let Maya in," a cold shiver climbed up my spine.

"hy do I get teh feeling, I was just a means to an end?" I said, tkaing dowm two more vamps.

[Maya]

My guts did a somersault.
"Oh bugger crappy fuck shit." I exclaimed, "I really am stupid, huh." We were back to back now, still fighting, but completely surrounded by wave after wave of vampires.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"If it helps, sister dear," I said, changing the double lance into a katan, "I would have done the same for you."
