They left the forest soon enough, and were heading towards the mall. It was a long walk, but most of them were vampires and didn't tire easily.
"Hey Ulee... Aza's been leaving the forest a lot hasn't she?" Rain asked Ulee in an undertone.
He gave a barely perceptible nod, "Yes. I'm almost positive she'll go for Evelyn if she finds out who she is."
"How will we get he back to... where she came from?"
"Working on that one."
"Heads up." this time, it was Jared who spoke. They were walking on the side of a particularly busy street. But, at the intersection, waiting to cross the street, was an extremely official looking business woman. She was surrounded by three large men that stood out like sore thumbs in their black suits and sunglasses. Aldama.
"Well crap." sighed Jared. "This is what we find when trying to avoid a vampire. A vampire hunter."

Evie looked up, alarmed. She had no idea who this woman was and it made her extremely uncomfortable. "Who is that?" she asked curiously.
Kayla bit her lip and and leaned back to explain to Evie. "She's a vampire hunter, but she has no problem with killing/testing on humans either." she whispered.

Rain nodded,"She's actually certified and can dow hatever she likes. She's from the government, and knows all of us. Keep to the side, we can't cause a scandal in broad daylight."
Rain and the group moved to the shadows of the shops that adoraned the sides of the streets. But, Aldama turned while on the phone, and caught sight of the vampire's ludicrous beaty and subtle power. Something she wanted for herself. Muttering a few more words she shut her phone.
"Crap," moaned Rain. And she had been hoping for a peaceful day. "Run." Ulee took Kayla's hand, Jared took Jules, and Shizuko took Evelyn's pulling the taller girl after her with surprising strength.
"Gotta get out of the streets."muttered Jared.

Jules held Jared's hand tightly and glanced behind them at Aldama. She felt her nose wrinkle up in disgust at that woman. She quickly kept up with Jared, focusing back on where they were headed.
Kayla's face turned slightly red as Ulee took hold of her hand, but she knew this was no time to be focusing on that.
Evie, on the other hand, was struggling to keep up. She was still human, after all. She wasn't struggling too much, but the force Shizuko had pulled on her hand with had surprised her.

The men were unusually fast. Oh right, hired vampires. Got it. Ulee growled under his breath, the woman hated vampires and hunted them, but she hired them and wanted to be one. His thoughts were interrupted as two of the men in suits appeared before them. He stopped so abruptly that Kayla bumped into him from behind.
Footsteps behind him informed that there were men behind them to. To their side was the wall of a buildind, to the other side, a very busy, very fast, very dangerous street.
"Ulee, it's been too long." the blonde man turned to see the beautiful, yet fearsome woman.
Rain hissed in displeasure. She could kill them all, get Kayla, Shizuko, Jules, and Evelyn away. But, not here, not with so many witnesses. With disgust, she noticed Aldama's looked at ulee with triumph and desire. Honestly, what did everyone see in the males of her family?
"I heard you have been joined by a rather... advanced individual." she said in her honeyed voice.
Jared stiffened. How the hell does she know?

Kayla squeaked when she ran into Ulee. She quickly recomposed herself and looked up at those who surrounded them. She didn't like how outnumbered they were and she felt her lip quiver in fear.
When Evie heard herself be indirectly mentioned, she stiffened. An hour in this time plane, and so many people already knew about her. She looked towards the ground, though, in hopes to blend in.

Aldama's eyes flickered to Evelyn. "Is that it? Hm... yes. It's skin is very smooth. Probably the evolution of sophisticated humans into the future. And her eyes, well I doubt I've seen a human with eyes like that. And judging by her movements, she is indeed a human."
Rain stiffened. Aldama was smart, she could admit that much, but there was no way she could get that much information without having an inside spy.... right?
"Listen," said Rain, a casual smile. Even though what she really wanted to do was crush her under a giant brownie... "We were just on our way to the mall. I understand your.... research. beleive me, I do. But, we're nothing you haven't seen before. A couple of vamps and a few humans. So we'll just be leaving."
Aldama smiled. A first. "I doubt it. The government would be pleased to have prior knowledge of what will happen in... a century."

Evie took a step away from Aldama. She would never speak about the future, no matter what methods of torture this woman pulled on her. Her eyes narrowed as she glared at her. She was just about to say something back, when Jules spoke up.
"Well, she's not some sort of book! You can't just take her away from us and bleed her dry of information!" Jules exclaimed furiously. "She's a human being, just like the rest of us!"

"I beg to differ." said Aldama in a cold voice. "There's no telling what this thing is. It's the right and duty of I disagreeociation to remove any dangers to society. It's all for the greater good." she ended with a smile.
Aldama didn't care what methods she used, she would get what she wanted.
"Bring her." she told her men.

Evie's eyes went wide and she began to shake a little. "Don't you dare touch me." she growled, more angry than she had intended.
Jules stood in front of Evie, protect her with herself. "Then if you want her, you'll have to go through me!"

"All of us," added Rain, a feral smile on her face. Oh, how she wanted to paint the streets with their blood. She felt unbound strength course through her limbs. And she could do it...
Aldama sighed, "You have your rules. Stay out of sight and hide it from the humans. I, on the other hand, have no such restrictions. My company can cover anything up. I could kill you here, in broad daylight, and it would never reach the press." she smiled, her eyes glittering with happy triumph, "But, I feel merciful today. Just hand over that thing and I'll allow you to leave unscathed."
((Doesn't anyone notice how she refers to Evie as 'it' and 'thing'?))

((In reality, I just noticed... XD))
Jules shook her head. " Evie is a friend!" she shouted. "We don't hand over friends for any reasons. Now, just leave us here in peace."
"Yeah!" Kayla finally squeaked.

"very well," Aldama turned, her dark brown hair flashing in the bright sun. "Boys, I expect to have that specimen in my lab by 5 pm sharp. Understood?" Not waiting for a reply, she left.
The men wasted no time, breaking through Jules soft grip. One of them grabbed Evie's hand, swalling up her small hand in his own huge one.
"Evie!" Rain turned startled. these men were fast. Even by their standards. They had to find somewhere to fight where they couldn't be seen, otherwise, Evie would be taken.

Evie jumped a little when the man's hand clasped over hers. "Let me go, you big brute!" she shouted, trying to kick him and break free. Then, much softer, she added, "You're hurting me!"
Jules was up off the ground in no time. "You may think I look weak, but I'm not as weak as you think! Now, come on and fight me!" she exclaimed, her eyes wild with adrenaline.

One of them blocked her, giving the one who had taken Evie chance to escape.
Jared went after him. His celery head could hold her own. He knew it. Reaching out with his mind, he searched for the man's energy, determined to leave him weaker than a child. What the hell, where is his- Jared jolted to a stop. These men weren't human. they weren't even vampires. I can feel no energy other than our own.
"Jared?!" With a growl, Rain broke through the arms of the one who had tried to restrain her. What was her brother thinking?! He could catch up to that guy, but he had just stopped and was standing there like an idiot!
Concentrating really hard as she ran, she caused a strip of the sidewalk to lift itself, making the man fall. His grip on Evie loosened as he tumbled heavily to the ground.
