"Here we are." He stepped inside slowly, hand on his hidden stake. "Hello? Anybody home?"

Sapphire looks around carefully, watching the area ,waiting for any signs of movement or trouble. Her hands were relaxed at her sides.

"Alright, this is a big place," decided Hunter. "We'll cover more ground if we split up. You go that way, I'll check over there." He pointed in both directions respectively.

She nods at his words. "Be careful. " she says and heads in the direction he had indicated to her.
The place was indeed vast and she had to focus on the task at hand. Though she did enjoy seeing this place as she went. Her eyes flicker slightly. The smells were good indication that the rebels were there but finding them was another story.

Matthew's mother, Alistair's old flame, stalked Hunter from behind. He was human, but a trained Hunter. She was more experienced than her son. She'd take him.
In the meantime, Matthew kept an eye on Sapphire. She was clearly human, and she wasn't a Hunter. Seemed safe enough.

Sapphire walked quietly along, her eyes roaming over every detail of the place. It was fascinating to her but she kept her interest in the place hidden.
She tilts her head a little. It was not impossible for her to sense that she was being stalked. She just wasn't sure by who.
She kept moving for a bit, seeing if maybe she could draw the stalker out of hiding. She was lucky enough to find a bigger area but she was not certain she could shift still or not. She hoped she didn't have to find out now.

Matthew smiled, believing he was still unnoticed, and then, on an impulse, jumped forward and attempted to bite Sapphire's neck.
In the meantime, his mother attacked Hunter from behind and they fought, Hunter trying to speak, but finding himself preoccupied.

The change in the air around her and the sound of movement caught her attention right away. Moving with reflex, she ducks swiftly and pivots around.
Bringin her fist up in hopes of catching the attacker in the gut to knock the wind out of him. Not yet aware that she was dealing with Matthew.

Still somewhat of an amateur, he was caught by the punch, but he was resilient. He winced and stumbled back, but then threw a punch of his own, relying on his vampire strength to do the trick.

She tenses as she saw the punch coming. Bringing her forearms up, they took the brunt of the hit. In her human form it knocked her back, causing her to fall.
She grimaced and shakes her head to clear it. Her eyes flicker but she moves to get back to her feet. "You know, I really don't have the patients for this." She looks to her attacker finally.
Her eyes widen at the sight. The male resembled her old friend. It was then that she realized how much she missed the old vampire.

Matthew was already upon her, moving quickly to try and get to her neck in an attempt to drain her of blood.

She tenses and scolds herself. She had let her guard down. Hitting the ground, she tried to keep him from her neck. In her human form though she was not strong enough.
As she felt his teeth strike her neck, she tried to shift. She felt her body growing weak. For a moment, everything seemed to become still.
Then she thought of her friend again. A t
rumbling growl flooded from her as her body began to shift. It was a painful shift that left her breathing heavy when she was done.
Soon she stood in her full dragon form. Her scales had become brighter since her last shift and shined in the darkness.

Matthew fell back onto the floor, his teeth not able to cope with his meal's transition to a dragon.
"Well," he said dryly. "You don't see that every day."

She snorts at him, growling as she moved towards him. "I had hoped not to have to fight with you Matthew." She retorted.

"How do you know my name?" He moved slowly back. "You're Sapphire, aren't you? That dragon with the king? What are you doing here and what do you want with me?"

She regards him quietly a moment then sighs and lays down. She didn't feel so well but she hid her exhaustion as she looks to him. "Your father's last request was for us to find you. I'm not here to fight you. Simply carrying out your father's dying wish."

She found herself feeling for him, his mother never told him. Sadness filled her eyes. "He was your father. You resemble him very well." She sighs and shakes her head. "He was no traitor. He simply wanted peace in this world."

"Peace? More like restraint! He had the right idea starting a war. His mistake was ending it! Humans deserve to be slaves and meals, no more than that! And if -if- he was my father, what would it matter? All it does is disgrace my name!"

She narrows her eyes at him. "Watch your tone when speaking to me. I may be his friend but I am still the Guardian. Your father saw something more to this world than most do. He saw a way for it to thrive as one and succeed in doing that. The rivers and the earth has never been so healthy and strong before."

"Oh, well if the rivers and the earth- I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE RIVERS AND THE EARTH! There should be rivers of blood, but instead we starve, all because my father abandoned me to win the freaking INTERNATIONAL PEACE PRIZE!"

She rose up this time. Her eyes darken. "He didn't abandon you. He seeked to make this world safe. Hunters were destroying everything. Do you think when young you could have held off an entire army of them? A baby? The health of this earth effects all who reside here not just the humans."

"Are you trying to suggest that there aren't still Hunters? That the person you came with didn't have a lighter and gasoline at the ready, and a stake in his hand? Or that there is anywhere safer for me than with my own kind? I'll ask again- Why did you come? What did my 'father' want from me?"

She regards him. "Hunters exist ,just as you do. Your father's last wish was for us to find you. If you are asking if it was for the purpose to harm you, that is not at all the intent. As for the Hunter and his gear, we had been told of the dangers of this place and armed ourselves for defense." She thought though on the fire items. Fire wouldn't be a good defense at all, if the intent was to speak to the male.
She regards him quietly then grimaced. She was struggling to keep her dragon form now. She didn't dare shift in front of the male though, it was too unclear if he wouldn't attack.

"Stakes, fire.... That's not for defense. Defense us iron and holy water. Stakes and fire do nothing but kill. But I doubt you came to chat. Get to the point."

She shakes her head. "I have stated my intentions clearly. Your father's last wish was to find you and so I am here." She lays back down watching the male carefully. "If I wanted to harm you I would still be trying to eat you." She grumbled. "

"He just wanted to send me a farewell, then? Make sure I knew about him? How.... Touching." he said sarcastically. "Well, tell the castle I said 'screw you.' I have a Hunter to drain. Mother's surely just about done with him."

She growls and stands up again. She needed to get to the Hunter before the male did. "This conversation is not over." She retorts and took off in the direction she smelled the pair at.
As she got to the smaller parts though she was forced to return to human form in order to fit. As soon as she shifted she took off as fast as she could.

Matthew was already moving, slipping a knife into his hand from his sleeve as he went. Good. Sapphire was distracted. He came up behind her and made to stick his knife in her back.
