"No it hasn't. And some vampires can drink my blood" Kelly shrugged. "Who told you about the potion?"

Tamakos seemed stumped. "Well, alright then."

Like I'd tell a prisoner all my secrets Kelly thought and frowned. "Who told you?"

Tamakos smiled. "A friend."

"Name?"

"I don't remember."

"Oh, you will" She whipped him again.

Tamakos groaned in some degree of pain before allowing himself to slip back into his sleeping state.

Kelly found a small gun from her boot and shot at his legs.

Tamakos was in a state of dreaming when he felt a sharp searing pain in his lower left leg. He opened his eyes and looked down at his leg and saw blood pouring freely from it, and Kelly standing there with a gun. He tried to ignore the pain best he could as he felt a deep hot rage in him. "You fucking bitch! You fucking shot me!" He hissed with rage burning in his eyes.

"Yes" Kelly smiled a bit twisted. She licked her lips as she glanced at the blood.

Tamakos flinched, starting to feel sick from blood loss. "Damn! I'm losing a lot of blood..." He looked more pale than normal.

"I know" Kelly smiled wider, watching him closely. "Didn't anyone advice you to not mess with me?"

Tamakos, being cocky even though he will in this situation, tried not to smile. "No, they actually didn't. Kareni told me that you were a little pussy bitch who didn't do or care about anything."

"Of course he did. He hates me" Kelly frowned.

Tamakos tried to shrug but the pain was too much for him to move that much. "Damn.. I'm losing too much blood..." Tamakos felt himself begin to grow dizzy as he lost more and more blood.

Kelly took a step closer, licking her lips again. "Not feeling so good?" she grinned.

Tamakos looked at her, too dizzy to speak now.

Kelly took another step towards him and whipped him once more.

Tamakos groaned, pain overwhelming his senses.

Kelly just stood there and stared at the blood with a very wicked smile.

Tamakos saw her looking at him, but he could not say anything, with all the blood he lost.

Kelly walked even closer and kicked his leg. "Wake up, you bastard" she held the gun ready to shoot, just in case.

Tamakos groaned and opened his eyes, looking at her. "Bitch.." He muttered.

"Oh, really? I can do whatever I want to...I think it's more like you're MY bitch" Kelly laughed evilly and kicked him again.

Tamakos started to feel very cold from loss of blood, almost being completely white now.

"I know you're not dead...I can hear it" Kelly frowned.

Tamakos opened his eyes weakly. "Vamp..." He muttered to Kelly.

"You're so funny" Kelly giggled. "I'm a slayer...You're just confused"

Tamakos coughed, feeling a horrible pain in his chest. He knew he would die soon unless he got some help. "Lie.. vamp.."

"Shut up you fucker" Kelly growled. "Do you want some medical treatment, maybe?"

Tamakos couldn't move anymore, he couldn't hear anything either. He thought that he was going to die, he had lost far to much blood.

Kelly swiftly left the room and came back with a man and a woman, which were carrying some bags. Kelly just watched, while the woman started undressing Tamakos and cleaning his wounds. The man unpacked the bags and took a blood sample of Tamakos.

Tamakos did not feel those people or see them, he was barely alive.

After a short talk and messing around with the medical equipment, the man and the woman started transferring blood to Tamakos. When they were done, they moved him to a prison cell.

Many hours later, Tamakos groaned loudly. His head hurt, a lot. With a great effort he managed to open his eyes, feeling as though someone had hit him with a car. He tried to stand himself up, but his legs couldn't support that yet so he began to topple, quickly grabbing on something to keep himself from being hurt even more. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to try to compose himself and get his bearings. After many minutes of this, he tried to walk once again, this time managing to stumble across half the room before it got too much for his legs to stand.

"Impressive. Do I have to send you to a hospital?" Kelly was outside the cell, watching him.

"No." Tamakos simply said, still trying to walk and getting better at it, despite the fact he had been shot in the leg.

"They removed the bullet" Kelly mumbled, clearly amused.

Tamakos shot her a look of hatred, then decided to drop it. "Yeah, I know. Thanks." He smiled, deciding to play nice guy again.

"I know you hate me. You don't have to hide it" Kelly raised an eyebrow.

Tamakos smiled. "No, I don't hate you. I don't hate anything, it's too much work. Sorry." He was limping now, but walking.

"Don't make me shoot you again" Kelly smirked. "I have a job for you"

Tamakos almost laughed. "What?"

"What's so funny?" She glared at him.

"Nothing. What do you want?"

"Two things" She cleared her throat. "First of all, you're going to be a spy"

Tamakos smiled. "Sounds like some fun. What else do you have in mind for me then?" He thought that he was beginning to like Kelly more than he had originally thought he was going to.

"Well, not really much more than that. But if you find my brother, I'd like it very much if you drugged him down and brought him back here" Kelly placed three small pills on the floor inside the cell and swiftly backed away. "Put them in his drink"

Tamakos nodded his head. "Alright. Sounds like some good fun then."

She placed a small note on the floor outside the cell, unlocked the door and backed away again. "I've written a small list of places where you'd might find somebody to spy on. Check out the pubs first...most likely you should find both my brother and some of Lorelia's people there. It would be nice if you got away unnoticed. Do you have any weapons?"

Tamakos nodded. "Well, you took my gun, so no."

"That's ok. Where you're going, you'll need a silverdagger. Come on" She quickly headed out of the prison and held the door open, so he could follow.

Tamakos followed after her, not to sure about how to fight against a vampire. He decided to ask her. "How does one fight against a vampire?"

Kelly locked the prison door and stared at him like he was an alien. "You don't know how to slay a vampire?"

Tamakos shrugged. "Nope. Never seen one before recently."

She looked a bit frustrated. "Ehm...you can fight at all, right?"

Tamakos looked annoyed then. "Of course I can fight."

"Good...then there's no problem... you just use a silverdagger instead of a normal dagger and you can probably get a can of silverspray too...since you're new" She smiled relieved. "Just don't try any fistfights with them, because if they want to, they'll snap your arm in 10 pieces...Running away is also useless, because they'd probably even reach you in a car"

Tamakos nodded his head. "Alright, I can do that."

"Try to avoid fights, though. I don't want anybody to fight them in very public areas where innocents can be hurt...ok?" Kelly headed to the room where the weapons were kept. "Come on"

Tamakos nodded and followed her.

She unlocked, opened the door to the weapon room and pointed to the left. "The silverdaggers are over there, next to the silverspray. Chose one"

Tamakos looked carefully over the different choices of daggers, sizes and shapes before choosing one that he thought would be best suited for quick use and easy to throw if needed. "Alright, now what?"

"Now? Well, you can always try fight me, if you don't think you're prepared enough to go for the real thing" she smirked.

Tamakos looked at her for a moment. "You are not a vampire." He said flatly.

"But I'm alive... which means I must be a good fighter" She kept the smirk. "Are you underestimating me?"

Tamakos just tilted his head. "No. I thought I am supossed to fight vampires...?"

"So typical. I always end up with the paperwork" She sighed. "Oh well. You better hurry out then. And if you see Lorelia, call me or come straight back here. The same goes if you see Calia. If you see my brother, do whatever it takes to get him back here... alive, that is. And if you happen to meet Safie; make her talk without hurting her. Other than that... gather as much information as you possibly can. Do you want somebody to come with you?"

Tamakos thought for a moment. He hated working in groups, but he didn't know anything of the outside; he'd be completely lost. He didn't even know exactly where he was going. "Yeah... I guess I'll want someone to come with me."

"Hm... well, Odd should be here somewhere. Try go to the bedroom area and knock his door. It's number 27." Kelly nodded. "Oh, and if you see Kareni... please, try to keep peace between them. They always try to kill eachother"

Tamakos nodded to do as he was bid. He walked up to door 27 and knocked it a few times.

A low voice was heard from inside; "Who's there?"

"Tamakos. Kelly said you are to come with me to spy on the enemy. Also, we are to keep an eye out for her brother."

The door was hesitantly opened, and a normal height, very skinny man peaked out. He was about 30 years old and wore dark clothes. "Her brother?" He frowned. "Never in this lifetime am I going into the same room as that bastard again!"

Tamakos smiled. "Wonderful. This will be fun. Shall we get going?"

"I assume I don't have a choice" The man sighed and walked out of the room, making sure to lock the door and check that he had two guns and a huge silverdagger. "Where exactly are we going?"

Tamakos smiled. "No, you really don't. Let's go."

"I repeat; where are we going?" The man started walking out of the bedroom area and headed for the exit, not really waiting for Tamakos.

"We're going to spy on the enemy." Tamakos said following him, deciding to leave the bit about Kelly's brother out.

The man glared suspiciously at him. "Why?"

Tamakos shrugged. "I don't know, Kelly told me to spy."

"Oh, well. What's your name, by the way?"

"Tamakos."

"Haven't heard of you. Guess you're a newbie then" The man walked out of the HQ and headed towards the centre of the town.
