Dagger looked at her, trying to focus on her. Her stroking his hand comforted him some. â€œShe was basically the only one who cared enough about me to do anything. She taught me basically everything I know. And if you have heard any stories about her, donâ€™t believe them, she ainâ€™t like them at all. She wasnâ€™t that scary, ok the only time she was scary was when she was angry.â€ He says to her. â€œShe became like family to me, to tell you the truth she was better to me than my actual family was.â€ He adds.  â€œAnd just because she was vampire donâ€™t think down on her for that, she was actually better than the vampires around today. Very honorable and went strictly by the rules.â€ He says. â€œIf she was around today, she would be ashamed at how vampires act. I can hear her now, callinâ€™ them pathetic fools.â€ He says. The way he talks about her, Stella could see that he has some fondness for her. But like he had said she was the only one who cared enough to teach him anything and was the only one in his â€œvampire familyâ€. That helped him some, kept his mind off of being trapped in a metal tube with lots of people.<br/><br/>As they sat there, he noticed that she was now stroking his forehead and he found himself leaning into it. Then to try and keep his mind off of other things, he looks at Stella and then kisses her on the forehead. He knew she was trying to help him, and for that he was grateful. Because with out her, he would have gone crazy and flipped out. He lets out another sigh as she continued to switch between stroking his hand and forehead, every time she would stroke his forehead, he found himself leaning into her touch. He turns to her when she says his name and then asks him if he every wanted kids. He shook his head, â€œNo, because for one I wouldnâ€™t be a good father, I would end up teachinâ€™ them all sorts of bad things and two, I really donâ€™t like children that well.â€ He says. He seen the sadden look on her face and lets out a sigh, â€œBut I could warm up to the idea I guess.â€ He says. He figured that by that look, she wanted kids. He lets out another sigh, he felt a little better now. He then found himself leaning against her. Even with his claustrophobia, he didnâ€™t move, he felt comforted by leaning against her. He just hopped she didnâ€™t mind.<br/><br/>Soon they arrived in Asia, he was glad to get off the plane. He even noticed that Kimmy and Lina seemed happy to get off the plane as well. They were in one of the bigger cities in Asia. He looks at Stella, â€œSo, do we start walkinâ€™ or what?â€ he asks. They were, just to be on the safe side and it was of course Stellaâ€™s idea, in the less busy part of the town. Before anyone could speak, Dagger lets out a hiss and turned to the west. â€œSo I take youâ€™re the one who is charge of sendinâ€™ all those damned demons and vamps after us, so itâ€™s no use in hiding.â€ He snaps as a young man comes out of the shadows. You would have thought he was human, except for his fangs and claws. Dagger looks at Stella and Lina, â€œHeâ€™s a demon and a powerful one at that.â€ He says. Then he looks at Stella, â€œIâ€™ll deal withâ€™em, just protect them.â€ He says. The young man smirks, â€œYes I am, Iâ€™m Marius Van Dorghoul.â€ He says. â€œAnd you must the infamous Pariah, I presume.â€ He adds. Dagger looks at him, â€œYeah so?â€ is all he says.<br/><br/>Marius was an old demon about 1200 years old; he was tired of humans having control over the world and was tried of living in the shadows, which is why he wanted to kill Kimmy. Marius moves and it looks as if he disappeared.<span style="font-style: italic">Heâ€™s fast </span>Dagger thinks as he stands there looking for him.<span style="font-style: italic"> Where is he gonna strike?</span>he thinks as he continues to stand there, thinking it over.<span style="font-style: italic"> Stellaâ€¦</span>he thinks as he moves as fast as he can and stands in front of Stella. Just as he did, Marius appeared out of no where and punches his fist through Daggerâ€™s chest, right through the heart and then takes his other hand and punches it through his abdomen, both of his hands were sticking out of Daggerâ€™s back. Then with a smirk he detaches his hands from Daggerâ€™s body and then throws him, he lands hard on the ground with a thud. Of course Dagger couldnâ€™t move, he was in too much pain and his spine was broken as well. He laid there partially unconscious. Marius was heading now toward Stella. He would get rid of her and then go after Lina and Kimmy.<br/><br/>What brought Dagger back to consciousness was a scream from both Lina and Stella. Dagger snaps his eyes open to see Marius had a hold of Stella by the throat. He stands up and starts walking toward Marius. â€œYou ainâ€™t done with me yet and I ainâ€™t done with you either.â€ He says. Marius puts Stella down, drops her to the ground and then turns his attention back to Dagger. â€œI figured you would be dead and in hell.â€ He says. Dagger rolls his eyes, â€œWell for one, I ainâ€™t that easy to kill and for two, nah the Devil doesnâ€™t want anything to do with me, I pissed him off you see, I tricked him out of my soul twice when I died twice. So I wouldnâ€™t, and if I did, I would just trickâ€™em out of it again.â€ He says. Marius rolls his eyes and then goes after Dagger; soon both vampire and demon were clashing with each other. And another thing that Dagger had that Marius didnâ€™t was determination. He was determined to get rid of him once and for all, he was tired of it.<br/><br/>As they were fighting, Marius began to laugh. He had stopped fighting all together and just stood there. Dagger had stopped fighting too; he thought it was odd that Marius had stopped.<span style="font-style: italic">Whyâ€™d he stop?</span>He thinks. Soon the air began to get tense and also heavy, Marius was only a few feet away from Dagger. His hands were begging to glow a crimson red color. He began to laugh again. â€œIâ€™ll show you why you can not win vampire!â€ he says with an evil laugh. He raises his hands and puts them together. Then he blasts Dagger with a beam of energy. The next thing Dagger knew was he was sent flying through the air and sent into a building. Marius began to fire another beam at him, of course he couldnâ€™t move. So he took the whole blow. He falls to the ground fading in and out of consciousness.<span style="font-style: italic">There is no wayâ€¦no way Iâ€™m dyin'â€¦I gotta protect her and themâ€¦</span>he thinks as he tries to get up but canâ€™t.
