Evelyn nodded, thankful but not acknowledging that she needed the help. "How long do you think it will take to reach the Council?" She asked. She figured that she would let Lexi help her until they reached the Council. By that time Evelyn would probably be able to tell if the other Vampire was trustworthy. Until then, she would be watching her back.

"Depends how fast you walk" Lexi smiled "And whether or not the other species around here like you"

"Everyone likes me," Evelyn laughed, "and I walk pretty fast. Try to keep up." With that, she started walking, not looking to see if Lexi was following her but hoping that she was.

Lexi paused and shot a raised-eyebrowed glare at the back of Evelyn's head. 'Alright, maybe I don't like this one' sighed the Voice in her head. 'She's a cocky little imp' Lexi agreed. 'Don't rise to it, Lexi. You've got at least a hundred years on her.' Lexi closed her eyes for a moment, shook her head and sped up to fall in-step with Evelyn again.

They reached the giant cauldron only 25 minutes later. Evelyn stopped and was about to turn left when a spectre jumped out at her. "Holy-"she gasped, baring her fangs at it. Her barriers dropped for a second and her head was filled with the screams of the dead. She grabbed her head and sunk to the ground, doing her best to focus. A few minutes later she was okay but shaky. She stood back up, took a deep breath, and started walking again, shaking it off as if nothing had happened.

Lexi sighed. What was the point? 'Not even a thank you' she noted. 'Patience, Lexi' the Voice soothed 'She's young, she can be taught' Lexi debated just walking away now, but she knew the girl probably wouldn't survive here without her. Besides which, she couldn't cross between levels without her. Walking away would sentence Evelyn to an eternity on level two. Lexi could be harsh, but she wasn't that cruel. So she sighed and followed, wondering what in Hell this kid was getting her into.

The next door looked pretty much the same as the last one. The only difference was that this one was carved with disturbing patterns, while the last one had been just a slab of ugly stone. Evelyn stopped and stepped aside. "Uh, could you open it please?" She asked, adding a please for good measure (not something she usually did).

Lexi hesitated, then obliged, doing much the same as she had done before. This time, though, she spoke softly under her breath. An ancient language, lost to almost everyone, save for those with the phrases to open the gates. Again, the door faded, but this time Lexi held out a hand, signalling for Evelyn to wait. She drew her blades from her back and held them across her body, one in front and the other behind. "Ok, follow me" she whispered, creeping silently through the gap.
No sooner was Lexi on the other side she twirled her blades, slicing through two blood-soaked Zombies, apparently standing watch beside the door on level three. She glared around, but they appeared to be the only ones, for now. "Trust me, you don't want them alerting the others" Lexi explained, wiping down her blades.

Evelyn watched as Lexi cut apart the Zombies, glad that she hadn't gone first. She nodded. "I think that it would be a good idea for you to lead from this point on," she said as she stepped through the door. She was repulsed by the fact that the blood on Lexi's blades was making her hungry.

Lexi grinned at her, she'd know that hungry look in her eyes anywhere. "You'll learn to fight it someday" she smiled as she started walking "Plus, y'know, Zombies may look and act disgusting and rabid, but their blood's not all that different to human"
