Jacqueline saw what the werewolf was trying to do. She flipped backwards off the wolf's back, letting it fall.

Jacqueline cringed when she landed. She looked down at her chest. The wounds hadn't started healing yet. She needed blood to heal quicker.

Without a second's hesitation, she lunged forward aimingfor the wolf's neck.

Alyssa howled when she felt the vampire's fangs pierce the skin.

She swatted and clawed at the vampire's head, hoping now to cause as much damage as inhumanly possible.

She growled and snarled, and scratched at the vampire's back in attempt to dislodge her yet again.

"Get off!" she howled in her gruff werewolf voice.

Jacqueline felt her fangs enter the wolf's blood stream. Unfortunately, it did as well. She barely got a mouthful of blood before the wolf's claws scratched across her face and back.

Jacqueline screamed and let go, falling to the ground. She groaned and rolled onto her side. Jacqueline brought a hand up to her face. Her entire palm was left red with blood. She licked the blood of her hand and painfully stood up.

With a snarl, she shifted into her raven form and swooped at the wolf.

Alyssa saw the vampire land painfully and stand back up. She felt the transformation taking the reverse effect and soon she was again in her human form. She prodded at the wounds on her neck.

"Had enough?" she said.

The vampire shifted and Alyssa rolled her yellow eyes.

"Obviously not."

She ducked as the raven swooped for her and with quick reflexes shot a hand out and caught the bird by the wing.

"You know, I really only study werewolfs but you would be interesting to study."

Jacqueline let out a squawk when she felt a tug on her wing. She thrashed and flapped relentlessly, attempting to free herself, but to no avail.

Jacqueline looked at the woman with fierce eyes, well, as fiercely as you could as a raven.

"Over my dead body!" she screeched, scratching at her hands with her claws and her beak.

Alyssa grimaced as the vampire-raven began thrashing and scratching at her hands. She fastened her other hand around the bird's neck, tightening her grip so that the creature couldn't breathe. She shrugged at her comment.

"Very well," she said smirking, "So be it."

And summoning up her strength, Alyssa threw the raven at a head-stone as hard as she could.

Jacqueline almost laughed when the woman began squeezing her throat.

Hasn't she ever read about us? Vampires don't need air to breathe. We don't need to breathe at all! Jacqueline thought.

She let out a caw as she was thrown at a headstone. Jacqueline twisted mid-air and managed to divert most of the impact onto her back. She heard a crack, and looked at her now limp wing.

Jacqueline shifted back and stood up, nursing her broken arm. She laughed.

"Do you think you can kill me? I can survive whatever you throw at me."

Alyssa wanted to turn and walk away, but she was much to intrigued by the vampire that she walked over to where she stood. Her yellow eyes looked at the vampire in curiosity, now that she had the chance to. She laughed.

"Well, you weren't exactly smart trying to drink my blood. I'm not that easy to kill either sister."

Alyssa crossed her arms, and raised and eyebrow.

"Is that a challenge?" she asked, smiling maliciously.

Jacqueline coughed, her lips suddenly flecked with blood. She grimaced and internally scolded herself for not drinking earlier in the evening. Now she was paying for it. Her chest wounds had very slowly ad messily began to heal, and her broken arm was still extremely painful. She laughed.

"Maybe another time, I'm at a disadvantage at the moment," Jacqueline croaked, coughing up more blood.

Slowly she slid down to the ground, leaning against a headstne for support. Her chest rose and fell shakily, even though she didn't need to breathe. Jacqueline really needed help...

Lex shook his head disdainfully as he flew hurriedly through the cool night air, carried by his powerful magic. Every time his lover, Jacqueline, left the house on her own she ended up in some sort of danger.

I wonder what's going on this time...

After scrying Jacqueline using a strand of her hair, Lex had found her in the graveyard, much to his confusion though. He set off straight away, deciding that it would be faster to go via magic as opposed to horse back. The elf could sense that danger was afoot but didn't expect to see what was in front of him when he arrived at the scene.

Oh no... He gasped wearily. Lex wasn't a vampire so sought to sleep at night, but unfortunately since getting together wih Jacquey that seemed a little impossible. Blue bags under his eyes looked at odds with his pale skin and long white hair. He was so weary he began wondering whether or not he could keep up a fight, although he has been gowing ever stronger since that incident in the mountains; so this creature should be no challenge at all.

Perching himself gracefully in a tall tree next to where Jacquey was slumped against a headstone, he covered himself in a cloak of invisibility and sent a message silently to her head.

"Jacquey... it's Lex. Don't be afraid okay? Now, shift back into your raven form, and see if you can fly up to the tree. I'll heal you and we can take on this monster together. I have opened up a connection between our minds so there is no need to talk. Let me know when you are ready and I can send in an illusion to distract the werewolf. Be quick, please. I love you." He added with emotion.
