"Excuse me?" Hope looked worriedly at Franchesca. "Did you just growl at me? I'm... shocked. You really... I know I'm hot and all, but you could save that for your boyfr...girlfrien... whatever. I'm just not interested, okay?"
Hope smiled.
"Seriously though. Are you angry with me? Have I done anything to you? Killed a friend or a relative?"

Once outside, Austin walked down the street until he found a recessed wall and leant back into the deep shadow it afforded him until he was practically invisible. Austin closed his eyes and thought about the members he had seen fall in the last 20 years.
way too many
images came flooding back of the last moments of each of those members; he knew that death was just a hazard of the job in a town like this as did every member of the circle but each death still stung like a hammer blow. somehow his thoughts wandered back to the battle of 1st street - his first engagement during the great war, the sounds of the battle filling his ears, he could almost smell the cordite, he remembered running accross the open street; his battle brothers all around, and then all hell broke loose, the gun shots, the screams, the sounds of bullets flying past all filled his ears and then the next thing he knew he was standing in the middle of the street, it was filled with the bodies of both Demons and his battle brothers, he remembered seeing the small group of his surviving bretheren pick their way towards him, that night there had been a celebration of the fallen; very much like tonight's, he remembered the faces of his surviving battle brothers but a lone fact stuck in the back of his throat; he would be the only member of the 6th company to outlive the war. he shook his head to dislodge painful memories and, opening his eyes, gazed skywards

Jaden looked at Kitten, although Hope had taken the growl to be a sexual pass, Jaden could hear the anger behind it. I wonder what thats about, this Kitten seems very strange very strange indeed. I'd better keep and eye on her He thought. Jaden turned back to Hope, "So you met the one you call 'Big Bad' do you know its name and species?" He asked.

a tide of red swept over Kittens face. she didnt plan on having Hope or Jaden notice her. she gave out a silly laugh "Oh of course, you tiger you! im just admiring you of course!" she said to Hope.
admiring your stupidity.
She turned around, looking the other way, which was also facing away from Alucard. He didnt notice though, he was busy playing around with his mobile phone.
Stupid girl, telling the Circle ab-
She remembered about the mind readers they could have in their little club so she once again cleared her mind. Kitten obviously didnt know that Hope was being a double agent, a spy, whatever she would call it. She just assumed Hope wanted to help the circle, which shows how good Hopes acting really is!

"She is strange that one" said Jaden to both Hope and Azrael.
Something bothers me about her, but I don't know what
Jaden drank some of his milk still waiting for Hopes reply on 'The Big Bad'

"Of course you admire me, they all do," Hope said smugly and blinked flirtatiously - joking, of course. She had realised that there were no sexual implications behind Kitten's growl, but it was so much fun surprising people and making them embarassed. She simply couldn't get enough of it.
Turning to Jaden she smiled.
"His name? He calls himself Rino. Species? Haven't got a clue. Looks human enough. A god, perhaps? I don't think that's bold suggestion..." She sighed.

Jaden thought for a moment, "How do you know this information?" Jaden asked her.
A god, not likely and anyway if he looks human then he probably is lets see if he bleeds after I stab him a couple of times

"You see that shoulder?" Hope pointed at it. "That's him. You know what he did to it? He just held it." She drank up and continued. "I bumped into him, made some comments, got in a fight. I didn't wanna run away, so I continued fighting. Or, tried more like covers it."
Hope sighed. "I don't like retelling fights that I lose, Jaden. But there were fireballs in the picture, some serious throwing around of cars, smashing them in my head. That kinda stuff. I can handle someone human. I can handle vampires and demons. That's my job. But Gods? Those are the only ones that kick my ass."
She shrugged. "So you see, it's simple logic. Only Gods kick my ass. I got my ass kicked by Rino. Go figure."

Kitten couldnt help but laugh when Hope said she could handle demons, then looked embarased again.
"Oh Alucard, you amuse me!"
She got an odd look from Alucard, who just shook his head and went back to his phone. she sat on the chair properly and had a shot of vodka. Today wasnt going to plan.
I wonder why didnt Rino kill her...

Jaden smiled at Hope, "A God...oh no I don't think he is a God. Maybe a powerful demon, but all demons have a weakness and most of them there weakness is to the circle" Said Jaden finishing and ordering another drink, "You want one?" He asked Hope.

"Sure do," she grinned. "Beer, please." The waiter nodded and went to get them what they had ordered.
"I don't think he's a God," Hope explained. "I just said that to make an example - he's probably much stronger than we believe. I doubt that he has shown us his full strength yet - what he really can do - still, what I saw could have knocked anyone off their feet, and more!" She shrugged. "Just don't underestimate him."

Jaden was silent for a while after thinking about what Hope had said, "Hope. How did you meet this Rino? Did you just bump into him or did you go seeking him out. Or did he seek you out?" Asked Jaden lifting his milk and drinking some of it.

"First time I met him..." Hope paused. "Yeah, I've actually met him twice. Not so proud about the second time though, so I'm sorry about not admitting that earlier." She shrugged, deciding that it was best if she told them as much about the truth as possible, without telling that she actually worked for the guy. ... Demon.
"First time, I just bumped into him. He got another girl to work for him and I haven't seen her since. After that I came here to the bar and told the Circle about it. But no one took me seriously or seemed to want my information." She sighed. "So, I decided to stay away from you guys for a while. Been walking around, slayin', that kinda stuff. Fun stuff. Anyways, yesterday I was wanderin' as usual, when I stumbled upon the "Devil's Advocates". And I knew that that's his place."
Hope grinned and continued, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Now, I'm a rather curious person, and that just... well, I had to check it out, y'know?" She laughed. "How can you go by the big bad's lair and not say hello to him? I had to see the place." She paused to drink some of the beer, but continued after a few moments.
"And see this place, this place was fancy. Like really fancy." She explained. "Glass door, business people all around, there was even a fountain in the middle of the room." She raised her eyebrow, obviously disapproving of it. "Too much in my opinion. But I kinda understand - this guy, Rino, he's got to have all this money, and not know what to do with it! So what better way to use it than have a fancy fountain in the middle of the room?" Looking down, she mumbled. "Come to think of it, I can actually think of a few better things..."
"But that's not the point," Hope looked up at Jaden again. "I saw all these vampires and wanted to fight'em, 'cause they deserve it 'n' all. So I challenge them and... well, the next thing I know, Rino's there! All ready to fight." She smiled, thinking back at it as one of the best moments in her life. "To make a long fight short, he punches a bit, I dodge a bit, he starts smashin' cars over my head, totally kicks my ass, then out of nowwhere... he just... dumps me by the side of the road. I'd taken in so many punches that I couldn't move, but he still does nothing. Just returns to his fancy place."
Again she sighs. "Why he did that is a mystery to me. Badass as he is, shoulda killed me on the spot."
"Not that I'm not grateful or anything!" Hope added hurriedly and smiled.

"Odd" Jaden paused, "why he would beat you up and then just dump you on the street. It makes no sense he should have killed you. Not that I what you dead but it go's against all logic. Unless he wants you alive... or needs you alive... for something. Looks like you need our protection after all. And another thing I dislike vampires like you but I do not 'Slay' them as you call it unless they attack me. Also I am a vampire sort of..." Jaden paused moving the collar of his shirt to show two vampire bite marks long scard over like burns then a third on is right wrist. (For people interested in how Jaden is bitten and not a full vampire please read my updated profile)

Hope raised her eyebrows, looking at the scars. A vampire, but not a vampire? A half-vampire? She shook her head.
"Sorry mate, but I'm a slayer. I slay." She shrugged. "That's just what I do. If I stopped slayin' it'd be like... taking away the reason I exist. And we don't want that now, do we?" She laughed.
"And I don't need protection." Hope snapped. "I can take care of myself, okay? I met the big bad and I'm still alive, see!?"
She paused, remembering why she was there.
"Actually... you're right. That's why I do need protection. Thanks."
