The Look

#### **Summary**

The Gang are forced to stay in Moscow and decide to blow of steam before their final confrontation with Michael. Fabian finds himself drawn to a female Vampire but find himself trapped and forced into a situation that puts him at odds with the others, but one in particular

### **Plot**

**Moscow**

Riley steps off the train, hitting the door on the way out, complaining that they have to spent another night in the city because of bad luck. Abraham admits he doesn't feel thrilled about the situation either as it seems fate is consistently dealing them a bad hand. Patrick suggests they not bother complaining about it. Abraham looks at his watch, saying the driver told them the repairs could take anywhere from six to ten hours. Fabian suggests they stay at the train station, but Riley objects saying the last time they tried, Abraham and Patrick ended up at the fighting arena. Fabian raises his eyebrows and looks at Abraham, who admits he was tricked by a girl. Fabian remembers he fell for the same trick. Aurora rolls her eyes as she starts to walk up the steps and out into the street. Patrick suggests they do something fun for once, like a last hurrah. Riley reminds him they had their last hurrah at the casino in Gorbatka. Fabian reminds Riley what happened there as he looks to Aurora. Riley also reminds them of what happened to her. Fabian asks if it when she being cursed. The gang start to walk along the street as Riley confirms it was. Abraham suggests they find a simple and quiet place for a drink. All agree and walk on

**Berlin**

Anita steps off the train and quickly leaves the station. She answers her phone as it rings. She listens, a smile creeping across her face. She then looks at her phone, seeing a picture of Abraham in the Casino at Gorbatka. She tells the caller to follow Abraham and keep her informed of his movements. Anita hangs up and then calls Michael. Michael answers as Anita explains that she has confirmed Abraham is alive. Michael reminds her he is deeply upset that she lied to him. He then asks where she is to which Anita tells him she is in Berlin. Michael asks if she's going to head Abraham off, to which she admits she is. Michael warns Anita it is her last chance to get some results or she will suffer the same fate as Fabian before hanging up. Anita takes a breath then looks around and up, seeing a hotel not far from the station. She walks towards it

**Pool Hall**

Patrick strikes down the black ball then stands up smiling as Fabian slams down a small wad of cash. Even Abraham is impressed. Patrick reminds him he basically ran a pool hall like this one. Fabian is curious as to how they both met. Patrick can't help but laugh but even Aurora is curious. Abraham tells them he escaped from prison and stole Patrick's bike. Patrick then realises that he forgot about it but Abraham assures him, he will get him a new bike. Abraham continues, saying they fought on a bridge in Paris and both ended up in the river. Patrick speaks saying Abraham saved his life. Aurora looks at Abraham, saying him saving the lives of others is a common theme. Abraham shrugs as Riley returns with drinks. Fabian asks where his is, but Riley tells him she left it at the bar as her hands were full. Riley says she'll get it, but Fabian tells her he will. He approaches the bar and picks up the glass. He turns and bumps into someone, almost spilling his drink. Fabian apologises and sees his bumped into a woman. The woman says its ok that she should have guessed he'd be turning around. The woman notices Fabian's hand and asks if he's a Kemiya. Fabian sarcastically tells her not many others have hand marks like his. The woman can't help but laugh as she then gives her name, Isabel. Fabian introduces himself and asks if she's meeting anyone. She denies she is, saying she didn't have a great day at work and says she needs to blow off some steam. Fabian looks at his watch, saying she must get off early in the day before he finally sits down. She sits next to him. Riley then looks to see where Fabian and tells the others. The others look up as Patrick chuckles, saying Fabian must have some good moves. Aurora brushes it off, putting it down to him being a typical Kemiya and that in ten minutes they'll be heading to the bathroom. Abraham and Patrick look at each other and start laughing. Aurora asks what's so funny but even Riley is sniggering, asking if Aurora is jealous. Aurora's face drops, saying she is not jealous, reminding everyone she only just accepted Fabian less then a day ago. Patrick does admit she senses a little strange than others. Abraham agrees but Riley tells them both to let Fabian be, as he doesn't seem the stupid type.

Fabian and Isabel continue to talk, but Fabian is forced to make up lies about who he is and what he is going in Moscow. Fabian admits he's never been to Moscow and asks if its always as cold as it is. Isabel says the nights can grow long in winter, something she herself enjoys. Fabian asks if she enjoys the cold but Isabel tells Fabian she doesn't feel it. Fabian chuckles, admitting he should have known, considering she is a Vampire. Isabel is impressed but asks Fabian if it makes him nervous. Fabian denies that he gets nervous about anything. Fabian finishes off his drink and stands, telling Isabel that it was nice to share a drink with a vampire. Isabel then stands in front of Fabian, their eyes locking for a moment. Fabian stops for a moment but he blinks and steps back his fingers rubbing his eyes, asking what she is doing but Isabel steps forward and grabs Fabian's chin, her eyes locking unto his. Patrick looks to the bar, seeing Fabian isn't there. He chuckles and looks to Aurora, saying she was off by 20 minutes. Aurora looks as well, seeing Fabian isn't there. She moves around further, looking around the bar, still not seeing Fabian. She then walks all the way around, but only sees the front door closing. She rushes towards the door and out into the street, seeing Isabel getting into a black car. She sees Aurora there then gives a smile before she steps into the car, closing the door. Aurora rushes to the car but it pulls away from the curb and drives down the street. Riley comes out, asking where Fabian is. Aurora tells her he went with the girl. Patrick and Abraham also come out. Aurora tells them as well. Patrick curses himself, saying he knew something wasn't right. Riley asks if Aurora can find him. Aurora says she didn't get his blood to do a locator spell. Abraham suggests they ask around. Aurora asks if he's nuts but Abraham asks for a better idea. Aurora admits she doesn't, but does have an idea of where to look for someone and says she'll need a map

**Unknown Location**

Fabian wakes up, his arms chained over his head in a stone room. Isabel looks up, glad that he is awake. Fabian looks around, asking if she is that cliche. Isabel can't help but laugh as she approaches Fabian, a sharp nail pressed to under his chin. Fabian calmly asks what she wants. Isabel nods, admiring that Fabian doesn't mess around and that he is an intelligent man. Fabian tells her that she needs someone powerful and that is why she chose him. Isabel smiles, but then admits that she does need his help, to kill someone. Fabian wonders why she didn't just ask him but Isabel tells Fabian that she wasn't sure if he'd do it, even if Kemiya's have a reputation for doing anything for anyone with a pretty face. She then asks why Kemiya's are so stupid when it comes to women, saying they will almost do anything to get a woman to drop her panties. Fabian asks her to consider the human condition but Isabel tells him to shut up. Fabian immediately does but he shows confusion in his face. Isabel tells Fabian that he is under her control and despite the fact it took a little more effort than most to hypnotise him, he is nothing more, than her slave. She then undoes Fabian's chains, letting him fall to the ground. Fabian looks up at her, anger in his eyes but Isabel grabs his chin and pulls him up before throwing him unto her bed. She tells Fabian to stay there as she approaches, unbuttoning her top and straddling Fabian, her lips coming down to meet his

**Blood Bank**

The gang stand outside a blood bank. Patrick asks if she's sure about this. Aurora tells Patrick the Grimoire she has taught her a spell to detect Supernatural presence in a wide area. And she even admits that vampires being at a blood bank makes sense. Abraham suggests they single out a vampire to make them talk and he knows the Kemiya can sense a vampire...and that Riley can smell them. Aurora admits Riley maybe more helpful in the situation. Patrick suggests the building may have an back entrance. Aurora admits that he maybe right and asks both of them to find it. Abraham protests saying he should go in with Riley, but Aurora tells Abraham to look at his hands. He sighs and admits he does not like her going in but Aurora tells him to help Patrick. Both are a little stunned but both of them head down an alley as Riley asks if Aurora is ok. She admits she is but Riley tells Aurora taking charge isn't something she often does when the others are around. They both walk inside as Aurora reminds Riley she did pretty good in Millaries. Riley admits she did but suggests there is another reason she is pushing hard to find Fabian. Aurora tells Riley he needs their help. Riley tells her to stop lying to her but Aurora tells Riley that it isn't the time to be asking questions, almost yelling as some eyes turn to her. Aurora takes a moment and asks Riley to trust her for the time being. Riley reluctantly agrees as Aurora then asks her if the front clerk is a vampire. Riley tells her she isn't. Aurora approaches and asks to see the manager, her eyes meeting hers for a moment. The girl takes a moment before she smiles and tells Aurora the manager is in the back and up the stairs. Aurora thanks the girl and walks through with Riley behind her. Riley is impressed with Aurora but Aurora asks Riley to move ahead. They head up the stairs into an office area. There are some people still about but Riley tells Aurora there are no vampires. The girls then walk down the hallway to one office at the end of the hall. A man walks around the corner, speaking with another man, but he stops seeing Aurora and Riley there. Riley tells Aurora the man on the right is a vampire. Aurora uses her power to throw the man backwards and into a wall. The man quickly stands up and runs down the hallway to his right. Riley and Aurora run after him as he jumps down a flight of stairs. Riley jumps down as well as the manager runs through the warehouse. He runs into another larger room. Riley runs in but she stops and looks around, seeing men and women all hooked up to machines and life support systems. Riley is horrified as Aurora catches up but even she can't believe what she's seeing. They hear a door opening in the back of the warehouse. Riley takes off but Aurora takes another moment before she too runs after the manager. They rush out through the back door but see Patrick and Abraham standing there, the manager impaled on Abraham's sword. Abraham commends Aurora on a good call before shoving the Manager against the wall. Aurora forms a ball of fire in her hand and tells the manager, they are looking for someone

**Storm Club**

Isabel enters into an underground club, with Fabian behind her, still under her thrall. Isabel looks around, seeing many other Vampires there. Fabian is about to speak but Isabel tells him not to speak. Fabian again looks frustrated but Isabel smiles, voicing her amusement that he knows his situation, but can't do anything about it. She walks to a back door but a tall vampire stops her. Isabel says she's here to see Markus and that she has an appointment. The vampire tells her Markus didn't tell him but Isabel insists on being let past. The man then looks at Fabian, asking what a Kemiya is doing with her. Isabel smiles saying the Kemiya is her bodyguard. The vampire pushes Isabel aside and steps towards Fabian, but Isabel tells Fabian to kill him. Fabian quickly pushes his hand against the vampire's chest, a quick spark flying before a hole is blown in the man's chest. All eyes turn to the door as Isabel pushes open the door, telling Fabian to come. A well dressed man looks to the doorway and stands. Isabel greets Markus but Markus seeing his dead vampire doorman, asks what Isabel thinks she is doing. Isabel smiles and tells Markus that her debt to him is now cancelled. Markus is still in shock but Isabel turns to Fabian then tells him to kill Markus. Fabian forms his sword and quickly extends it, taking Markus's head off in a mere flash of a second before retracting his sword. Also in the room are other vampires, who are also in shock. Isabel looks to Fabian, commending him before she tells Fabian to close the door as she takes a seat at the table. She smiles and looks at the others, waving Fabian to stand beside her. She then asks the other vampires about the current business being conducted.

**Miyoko Hotel**

Abraham kicks open the doors of the penthouse suite. A man jumps up from the couch, a woman sitting next to him. The man asks what was going on but Aurora steps in and simply throws her hand up, throwing him through a balcony door and unto the balcony. Aurora doesn't even look at the girl as Riley approaches her, telling the girl she was very lucky and another few minutes, she'd be a vampire's snack. The girl, almost in hysterics runs out of the apartment. The man stands up but Aurora closes her fist, so he can't move. Abraham walks to behind Aurora. The man asks what they want to which Abraham tells him they are looking for a vampire giving Isabel's description. The man shakes his head, saying he doesn't know who she is, but Aurora doesn't believe him and then pushes him to the edge of the balcony asking him again. The man again denies knowing anything before Aurora drops him even lower. Patrick suggests that he was perhaps telling the truth, but Aurora tells Patrick he was lying. Aurora asks the vampire one last time but the Vampire still insists he doesn't know, and asks Aurora to consider the fact that she was hanging him 25 floors in the air. Aurora takes a moment and nods, admitting he likely is telling the truth. The vampire sighs in relief but Aurora releases her power, making the vampire drop. Patrick, Abraham and Riley are all stunned as Aurora walks past them. Patrick takes a moment before he shouts to Aurora, asking what her problem was. Aurora stops, taking a moment before she turns to Patrick, saying he is a vampire and he'll survive. Patrick reminds her its not the point of what he is asking and why she is so determined to find someone she hated less than 2 days prior. She shouts back that Fabian proved himself to her and that she would do the same for anyone of them. Riley agrees, saying when she faced her own death, Aurora is the first one to follow her. Aurora looks to Patrick who nods but asks Aurora to calm down, and that they will find Fabian. All eyes turn as the door open and another woman enter. She tries to leave but Aurora closes the door. The lady tries to open the door, but she turns, her fangs blaring but Abraham tells her to put them away, showing his hand. The vampire takes a moment before she raises her hands, asking not to be hurt. Riley suggests she could live, if she tells them where to find a vampire. Aurora approaches the woman, a smile on her face

**Storm Club**

Isabel dismisses the other vampires, until she is alone with Fabian. Isabel sighs, saying the silence is deafening. She tells Fabian he can speak. Fabian approaches her, asking if his job is done. Isabel smiles, looking at him, asking if he had a powerhouse on his arm, would he give it up so easily. Fabian can't deny he wouldn't, but she warns her that his friends will come looking for him. Isabel does admit she almost forgot about them and asks why he was hanging out with a werewolf. Fabian is about to answer, but Isabel then mentions the Raven haired girl, asking what her story is. Fabian takes a moment, saying her name is Aurora and that she is a witch. Isabel raises her eyebrows, asking if witches hated Kemiyas. Fabian admits they do and that she does. Isabel tilts her head slightly asking how he feels about her. Fabian is about to answer but Isabel tells him that he's already answered her question Fabian says he feels anger to her. Isabel smiles but nods, telling Fabian sarcastically that she believes him but she does admit that it is likely she will be found. She takes a moment and thinks before she gets an idea. She demands Fabian's phone. Fabian hands it to her then looks for Aurora's number. She composes a message then sends it. Isabel then tells Fabian to head out to the car. Fabian asks what she sent, but Isabel smiles, saying she gave the witch a clue, but that she won't get the message until 30 minutes

**Unknown Location**

Aurora and the others arrive at the at an old building. Aurora asks if they can sense Fabian inside. Abraham says he feels something. Aurora walks to the door but Patrick asks what she's doing. Aurora says she's going to save Fabian. Patrick tells her that its a trap. Aurora admits she knows its a trap, but she doesn't care. Aurora opens the door and walks inside. Abraham follows her as does Riley and Patrick. Aurora asks if Riley can see. Patrick forms his sword and causes it to glow, revealing a number of dark passages. Abraham notices the walls are metal, but more specifically...gold. Patrick suggests Fabian made it into a maze. Riley suggests the idea is to split them up. Abraham chuckles, saying they then stick together. Riley nods then sniffs the air. She then starts to walk down one hallway with the others following her. They made a few more turns down some of the other hallways but they come across the occasional dead end. Abraham places his hand on the gold, trying to transmute it. Riley asks what he is doing, but Abraham says he can't transmute it as Fabian is acting against him. Riley admits she can't pin point Fabian but she knows he's there. Then the walls begin to open in some areas, revealing other passages, but a wall comes up between Aurora and the others. Riley herself is also cut off from Abraham and Patrick. The movement stops. Aurora then shouts out, calling to Fabian, asking him to stop. Abraham tells Aurora to conserve her strength and they'll find a way out. Riley asks how can they if the maze keeps changing. A wall opens up in front of Aurora, leading to a more stone laid hallway. Aurora tells the others to find a way out before she walks ahead. Patrick asks her what she means, but Aurora doesn't answer. Patrick calls out to her again but still nothing.

Aurora keeps walking, making a few more turns. She comes around a corner, seeing Isabel there. Aurora freezes but Isabel runs off quickly. Aurora chases her around the next corner but she's gone. Aurora keeps walking before she comes to an opens door. She walks in and looks around, seeing a stone fire place in the middle. She is then grabbed from behind, her head pushed down into the stone fire place, hitting it hard enough to daze her. Isabel smiles as Aurora rolls over, a trickle of blood on her forehead. Isabel reaches down, sliding her finger along the blood trail and bringing it to her lips. She smiles as she walks to a throne like chair at the top of the room. She tells Aurora she's always wanted to meet her, saying she's heard so much about her. Aurora looks up at her as Isabel then calls Fabian into the room. Fabian walks into the room, but he wasn't finding it easy to walk. He has lines down his bare back and marks on his body. Isabel tells Fabian to kneel next to her. Fabian struggles but he does. Isabel starts to stroke his hair as she looks at Aurora. Aurora tells her to let Fabian go but Isabel smiles saying he's come in very handy, such as killing her former master. Aurora gives a gentle laugh, asking how ironic it is that she is now has a slave, just like she was. She then asks what exactly she wants from her. Isabel admires that Aurora isn't stupid enough to make a move when she can easily kill Fabian. But she wants Fabian to become hers forever, but he seems to have an attachment that makes his resistance harder to combat. Aurora suggests its merely his will. Isabel admits she thought it was as well, but she stops and looks to Fabian. Isabel tells Fabian to make his sword...and kill her. Fabian looks at Isabel, hesitating for a moment before he clambers to his feet, his sword forming in his hand, struggling with each foot step he takes towards Aurora

Abraham and Patrick are still struggling to make it out. Riley makes a turn and sees the exit. She rushes to it and tells the other two but they find an open area. Patrick looks around but two vampires drop from above. One tackles Patrick while the other takes on Abraham. Patrick forms his sword and swings at the vampire who manages to duck and evade before he punches Patrick in the face. Patrick stumbles but the vampire grabs him and throws him into a stack of wooden boxes. Patrick is dazed as the vampire approaches him but Patrick finds a piece of wood and slams it into the vampire's heart. The vampire steps back before he slumps to the ground. Abraham is pinned against the wall shouting for Patrick's help. Patrick steps towards Abraham, raising his arm but he grasps his shoulder in pain. He looks at Abraham before he uses his other hand to move the sword through the air, impaling the vampire in the back. Abraham uses his chance to slam his hand into the vampire's chest, a spark flying off before the Vampire's chest gets a hole blown in it. The vampire's eyes widen before he slumps to his knees then unto the floor. Patrick gets to his feet, calling his sword to his hand. Abraham asked what happened, but Patrick tells him his shoulder got hurt. Riley then comes around the corner, asking if they guys are ok. Both tell her they are fine. Riley nods before she tells them she can show them the way out. Abraham asks about Aurora but Patrick suggests there could be another door into the building. Abraham shakes his head, saying the vampires came from above. He seems the maze walls don't reach the roof. He forms a chain and hook from his own metal and throws it up, catching the top of the wall. He pulls himself up and looks out, seeing the maze and the stone hallway. He tells the others he's found out where Aurora went

Fabian is standing before Aurora, his sword pointed at Aurora. Isabel tells Fabian to kill her. Fabian grips his sword hard, his body moving forward, but the sword doesn't move. Isabel shouts at him, but Aurora tells Fabian he's a Kemiya and that he's stronger than Isabel. Isabel laughs and slaps Aurora, sending her to the floor. Isabel asks Fabian to remember what Aurora did to him. That she ridiculed him, threatened him and even sold him out. Aurora tells Fabian she was wrong and that he proved to be a better person than she thought. She tells him to remember the time in the cell where they connected as they were the same. Isabel again laughs, asking how a Kemiya and a witch could ever be friends. Aurora tells Fabian that even if they were still enemies, she knows he would never allow himself to be controlled by another. Fabian tells Isabel that he can't kill her. Isabel sighs and grabs Aurora's hair, telling Fabian that if he won't kill her then she will. She extends her fangs and bites Aurora's neck. Aurora shouts but Fabian protests, telling Isabel to stop. Isabel withdraws her fangs, saying she will, if Fabian kills Aurora. Fabian lowers his sword to Aurora. Aurora looks up at Fabian and Fabian looks back at her. Fabian can see the pain and anguish in her eyes. Both exchange their looks at each other for a few seconds, a tear falls from Fabian's eye but he raises his sword. Aurora closes her eyes as she hears Fabian's sword swipe. Aurora opens her eyes, seeing Fabian there, blood dripping off his sword. Aurora's eyes turn to Isabel, her eyes in shock, blood seeping down her neck. She splutters for a moment then falls unto her back. Fabian collapses to the floor as Aurora takes a moment before she crawls to him, her arm wrapping around him. Abraham and the others at first run past the room, but Riley tells Patrick and Abraham to stop. All three looke in, seeing Fabian and Aurora hurt and Isabel dead

**Moscow Station**

The gang sit at the station, waiting for the next train. There aren't too many people around as its late at night. Patrick, Abraham and Riley are on the platform. Aurora is in the station as she walks from the bathroom, but she almost runs into Fabian. Aurora seems surprised at first but she composes herself. Fabian asks if she's ok, motioning to her neck. Aurora touches it and admits she's fine. She asks how Fabian is to which Fabian replies that he's ok, considering his back is lashed and his mind fatigued. Aurora admits it was a great feat and thanks Fabian. Fabian asks why she's thanking him. Aurora tells him that he resisted Isabel's control to save her. Fabian nods, telling Aurora he should be thanking her as much as she reminded him of who he was, further admitting that he couldn't kill her, even after all she did to him. Aurora looks away but Fabian tells her he forgives her, just like she forgave him. Aurora and Fabian look at each other for a few moments before Aurora clears her throat and tells Fabian they should get back to the platform. Aurora walks past Fabian as he thinks for a moment before he too turns and walks to the platform. Aurora walks back down the platform. Abraham looks to Aurora and Riley, giving them a nod. Patrick expresses his delight that they are finally getting out of Moscow. Abraham asks Patrick if he has any painkillers. Patrick takes a moment and looks around his bag and denies having any. Abraham then throws an empty pack on the ground. He then tells Patrick that they need to talk.

**Riley:** "You are one lucky girl. Another 10 minutes you'd be a vampire's snack"

(The girl stands and runs out of the apartment. Aurora uses her power to pick the man up and push him close to the edge of the balcony)

**Vampire**: "What do you want?"

**Aurora:** "I'm looking for a vampire. Long blonde hair, good looking, and brown eyes. She was wearing a red dress last time I saw her"

**Vampire**: "I don't know who you're talking about"

(Aurora drops him slightly)

**Aurora:** "Who...is she!"

**Aurora:** "Don't think I won't drop you!"

**Vampire**: "I don't doubt that for a second!"

**Patrick:** "Maybe he's not lying?"

**Aurora:** "He is Patrick! Who...is she!"

**Vampire**: "Can you consider this for a moment? I'm hanging off my balcony with nothing more than a witches power keeping me from falling. Would I lie to you!"

(Aurora takes a moment and sighs)

**Aurora:** "You're probably right"

The Vampire sighs in relief but Aurora releases her power letting the vampire drop. She turns and walks back into the apartment, all the other stunned)

**Patrick**: "What the hell is your problem!?"

**Aurora**: "He's a vampire. He'll survive"

**Patrick**: "Not the point. You seem beyond determined to find a guy who you claim to hate two days ago!"

**Aurora**: "Fabian proved himself to me and I'd do the same if it was anyone of you guys!"

**Riley**: "Even I can't argue that point Patrick. When I went to face my death, Aurora was standing right behind me"

**Aurora**: "And where were you guys?"

(Patrick takes a moment, nodding)

**Patrick:** "We'll find Fabian, but you need to calm down and think"

(The door opens as all eyes look to see another woman enter the apartment. She turns to leave but Aurora telekinetically closes the door. The woman turns, fangs blaring)

(Abraham shows his hand. The Vampire calms down)

**Vampire**: "Don't kill me"

**Riley:** "Well, you could live. Just as long as you tell us what we want to know"

**Isabel:** "Everyone out but him"

(All the others in the room leave the room. Isabel sighs)

**Isabel**: The silence...is deafening in here. Speak"

**Fabian:** "Is my job done yet?"

**Isabel:** "If you had a powerhouse on your arm. Would you give it up so quickly?"

**Fabian:** "I'm not going to deny that I would, but I have friends out there who are looking for me"

**Isabel:** "I am curious about that actually. If I recall there were two other Kemiyas and a Werewolf there."

(Fabian is about to speak)

**Isabel**: "And that raven haired girl. What's her story?"

**Fabian:** "She's a witch"

**Isabel:** "I thought Witches hated Kemiyas"

**Fabian:** "They do"

**Isabel:** "How do you feel about her?"

(Fabian again is about to answer but Isabel smiles)

**Isabel:** "Question answered"

**Fabian**: "I feel...anger to her

**Isabel:** "I believe you. And I also believe I will be found. So I think we need to bring them to my turf. Give me your phone"

(Fabian takes out his phone and hands it to her. She looks for Aurora's number and types up a message, sending it before she hands it back to Fabian)

**Isabel**: "She'll get the message in half an hour. Now, out to the car"

**Aurora**: "Can you sense Fabian inside?"

**Abraham**: "I feel something"

(Aurora walks to the door)

**Patrick**: "What are you doing?"

**Aurora:** "I'm going to save Fabian"

Patrick: "You do realise its a trap right?

Aurora: "And I don't care"

(Aurora opens the door, stepping into darkness, the others following behind)

**Aurora:** "Riley, can you see?"

**Riley:** "I can"

**Abraham:** "Let me help"

(Abraham forms his sword and causes it to glow, revealing passages with golden walls)

**Abraham:** "Metal walls. Gold Walls"

**Patrick:** "Fabians work no doubt. Feels like a maze"

**Abraham**: "Well, we all stick together"

**Riley:** "Follow my nose folks"

**Aurora:** "Guys! Fabian! Stop this now!"

**Abraham:** "Save your strength Aurora! We'll find a way out"

**Riley:** "How can we? He can change the maze at will"

(A wall opens up next to Aurora, revealing a dark stone passage)

**Aurora**: "Stay safe guys. Find a way out of here"

**Patrick:** "What do you mean by that!? Aurora?!"

(Isabel hits Aurora's head on the stone hearth, causing blood to seep from her forehead. She reaches down, her finger scooping up some blood and taking a taste. She smiles and walks to a throne like seat)

**Isabel:** "So...you're the witch Fabian told me about. Its good to finally meet you"

(Aurora looks up to Isabel)

**Isabel:** "Fabian boy. Come on in"

(Fabian comes into the room, struggling against her)

**Isabel:** "Kneel next to me"

(Fabian again, struggles against her, but is forced to kneel. Isabel starts to stroke his hair)

**Aurora:** "Let him go!"

**Isabel:** "Why would I do that? I mean...he's come in very handy so far, helping me kill my former master"

**Aurora**: "I'd call that ironic. You a former slave, now a Mistress. What is it...you want?"

**Isabel:** "It seems everyone in that group has some brains. You won't make a move as I can kill him with a mere flick. I want Fabian to be mine...forever. But there is something he seems to be holding onto that makes him..difficult"

**Aurora:** "His will?"

**Isabel**: "I thought so too at first, but...Doesn't matter now. Fabian...be a dear...and kill her"

(Fabian looks up at Isabel. He takes a moment before he struggles to his feet. His hand opens, his sword slowly forming into it. He looks to Aurora as he approaches her)

**Abraham:** "What happened to you?"

**Patrick:** "I guess that son of a bitch hurt my shoulder"

**Riley:** "You guys ok?"

**Abraham:** "We're good. Thanks"

**Riley:** "Good news. I found the door"

**Abraham**: "What about Aurora?"

**Patrick:** "We could maybe find another entrance and attack from that side"

**Abraham:** "No. Those vampires came at us from inside the building"

(Abraham looks up)

**Abraham:** "These walls go to the roof, but...these walls don't"

**Isabel**: "Do...it...now! Kill her!"

(Fabian tries, but his sword doesn't move)

**Isabel**: "What is the matter!"

**Aurora:** "You're stronger than her Fabian, you're a Kemiya"

(Isabel slaps Aurora to the ground)

**Isabel:** "You remember what you told me Fabian. How she treated you, how she ratted you out"

**Aurora:** "I was wrong Fabian. You proved to me that you are good. That time in the prison cell. We connected Fabian! We both lived under those who would never give us the care and love we wanted"

**Isabel:** "You're a Kemiya. She's a witch. She will never be your friend!"

**Aurora:** "Even if you hated me that much Fabian, you're too strong to be controlled by another!"

**Fabian**: "I...can't....do it!"

**Isabel:** "Well then. If you won't, then I will!"

(Isabel extends her fangs and buries them into Aurora's neck. Aurora shouts as Fabian does too)

**Fabian:** "Stop!"

(Isabel withdraws her fangs)

**Isabel:** "Either she dies by my hands, slowly and painfully. Or by yours, quick...and painless. You choose"

**Aurora:** "Fabian"

**Fabian:** "Are you ok?"

**Aurora:** "Oh...yeah. Just a scratch. You?"

**Fabian:** "Well a lot of new marks on my back and I'm beat"

**Aurora:** "Yeah. I imagine fighting off mind control is tiring. It was amazing and I wanted to thank you"

**Fabian:** "Thank me?"

**Aurora**: "You resisted her control, to save my life"

**Fabian:** "I...I couldn't kill you. Even after all you did to me"

(Aurora looks away for a moment)

**Fabian:** "Aurora. You're forgiven for all that"

**Aurora:** "And so are you"

**Patrick:** "Thank christ we're getting out of here"

**Abraham:** "Hey bud. Got any painkillers?"

(Patrick looks around his coat and in his bag)

**Patrick:** "I...think I do"

(Patrick looks at the ground, seeing a empty pack of painkillers there. He looks to Abraham

**Abraham:** "We need to talk"
