</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">Luca hardly flinched as the hunter screamed in pain from Aries crushing his shoulder and hand. Instead, he was far more worried about Aries' wound than the two who lay on the flood. It took him a moment, but Luca finally pulled himself together and gathered his shirt and vest. He retrieved the book from the table as Aries joined him again from the bathroom, fully dressed once more. "Yes," Luca answered on a breath and he spared Aries a quick glance. As much as he wanted to brush the tears from his face and hold him, he couldn't afford that. The hunters had enough fuel already to hate Luca. They would live from their wounds but Luca didn't trust them not to try again at a later time. Hell, there was Alex to deal with still too despite not seeing him since getting Aries back. But that didn't mean the man wasn't plotting and planning. <br/>
<br/>
"We'll have to hurry," Luca muttered to himself mostly as he glared down at the hunters. He ground his teeth as he turned and went for the door. Once out in the hall, he caught sight of a few hunters looking down the hallway. Luca frowned but said nothing as he brushed past them quickly. He ignored the mutterings between the few of them and made for the door leading outside. Cold night air struck him as he stepped out. Luca turned right and went down the street with no real destination in mind. Other than the hunters he now had to worry about apparently, there were vampires also that he had to avoid. Luca kept an eye out for a hotel that they could stay in for the night. <br/>
<br/>
As he passed dark alleyways, he looked down each of them with scrutiny. He couldn't help the feeling that he was being watched from those dark depths. It didn't help that he had an open wound that still bled too. Aries was bleeding as well and he worried that the vampire would be impaired if they needed to fight off the undead. Luca spotted a hotel not too far ahead and he headed for it. <br/>
<br/>
Their path was blocked not too long after and Luca came to a sliding halt, soft curses falling off his lips. The vampire in front of them flashed a set of bloodied fangs, his eyes wild as he looked Luca over. "So, you're the one who smells so sweet."<br/>
<br/>
Luca glared at him, taking a step back. "Just try it," he challenged.<br/>
<br/>
The vampire grinned, "Oh, I don't plan to. You're the one who kills vampires with just a drop of that amazing smelling blood. You're a hard human to hunt down. But I won't let you go that easily," he snarled.<br/>
<br/>
Luca pulled a knife from the vest and threw it. The angle was slightly off, but the blade still embedded itself in the vampire's chest who howled in pain as the silver burned the creature's flesh. Luca pulled two more from the vest before he dropped it in order to get a better stance to fight. This wasn't how he had wanted the night to go.</span>
