Introduction
As a toddler, you heard warnings about never going over the hills, or the big bad monsters will get you.
As a child, you took that story and ran with it, spreading rumours and playing games based on what was over the hills.
As a teenager, you were begged not to do anything stupid to be rebellious, such as going over the hills.
As a teenager, you thought 'Stuff this, I'm going over the hills.'
So one day, without warning, a group of teenagers went out of the back of the town and over the hills, a feat which took them the best part of the day. On the other side, there turned out to be a forest. Dark. Thick. Inviting. Of course they went in - they'd gone over the hills, after all. Now to prove that there was nothing there, and return home knowing that they had, apparently, accomplished the impossible: returning from over the hills.
What was that saying about curiousity killing the cat?
You see, that forest is home to a group of vampires. They see this all the time, people coming over their hills and into their forest, usually getting lost. For them it's easy pickings: stupid, naive humans thinking they're better and braver than everyone else. This group of vampires has played this game many times before, especially their leader. They won't hesistate to start it again. And they never. Ever. Lose.

It was when the girl who appeared to be in the lead started shouting at the others that Nick decided he'd seen enough. Twisting around so he could silently drop out of the tree he had been sitting in, Nick gave the group one last glance to commit their faces to memory before running off, heading back to the place his group were currently using as a base. It was pretty much a fully working house - save for electricity and all that shit they wouldn't need anyway - that he'd decided to get the group to build not so long ago. Hey, it wasn't like it took much time or effort... Nick quickly reached the place and, darting past a few people, slowed down enough to allow him to easily flop into a chair. "Well." He said, a smirk creeping onto his face. "It looks like we've got... visitors."

Azabelle was perched on the arm of a chair with a slight smile planted on her face. She had one of her hands twirling and playing in her hair. She giggled softly as she swung her legs over those of the male who was sitting in the chair. She only truned her head slightly when their leader darted past behind her. She went back to flirting with the guy in the chair just a bit more quietly now until she caught the words coming out of Nick's mouth. Visitors? Almost like flicking off a switch Azabelle went from flirting shamelesly to going into full on hunter mode. She slid off the arm of the chair and stode over to their leaders chair with an interested expression, "What's our plan?" She asked him leaning against the wall beside his chair.

"You're leading us so isn't it your fault we're lost?" he asked, not really knowing whose idea it actually was or whose fault but just assuming that it was Kate's since she was leading them.
"Oh, I made a note! I dropped leaves as we were coming here, like Hansel and Gretle dropped pebbles so we can find our way back." To emphasise his point, he gestured towards the way he thought they'd just came, only to see leaves, dirt and twigs covering the ground in every direction around the group. Once again frowning, Kyro searched the ground for the leaves he'd dropped but couldn't exactly tell which ones were the ones he had dropped and which had already been there. Instead, he picked up a twig as his safety scissors had been left at home. He scratched a compass into the ground which was simply a cross with N, E, S, W scratched in at various points; what he didn't realise was that north was not whichever way you were facing.
"Wait... it does go North, East, South then West, right?"

Azabelle didn't say anything to the other girl, it was pretty much pointless, they always just ended up arguing and then getting scolded for their fighting so it was normally best just to keep quite and not bother with Nicki, it only ever got them into even more trouble. And besides now she had something better to worry about, like getting to go out and play with their new little visitors.

"Yes, 'visitors'." Nick repeated, lazily making quotation marks in the air before moving to support Nicki slightly when she slid on his lap. However, he didn't give her any attention just yet, instead turning to Azabelle. The smirk widened as he thought about how mad Nicki might get if he paid more attention to her 'rival' than her at this moment in time. "The plan, my dear Azabelle," He began, looking around at the others. "Is the same as ever." The smirk spread into a grin as he focused his attention mainly on Ryan. "Fetch."

"Why are there so many leaves on the ground...? My plan would have worked if there weren't so many. Where did they come from? Did someone use a leaf blower wrong?" the short boy asked, looking around, trying to find the source of leaves. Despite looking up and around several times, he still couldn't seem to figure it out.

A grin spread across Ryan's face and he strode over toward the massive chair Nick was in. "Anyone else care to come?" He asked figuring it was always more fun with others to enjoy the little game. The more the merrier, up until a point anyway. He waited for any responses before leaving, not wanting any stragglers to come later that he wasn't counting on that could potentially distract them long enough to allow their prey to get an edge on them or even escpape.

Nick couldn't help but laugh softly at Nicki, gently resting a hand on her cheek to make sure she kept looking at him. "It's simple, Nicki." He said calmly, a smirk once again creeping onto his face. "I get the humans, you get your prize. Understand?" He raised an eyebrow before twisting around to look up at Ryan, shaking his head. "I think I'll sit this one out, if you don't mind. After all... someone's got to be here to welcome them." Nick grinned, before raising an eyebrow at Ryan, almost in a challenge. "I doubt I'll miss much. It shouldn't take long, should it?"

Santo and Kate hadn't really met beforehand, but Santo, being the biggest bitch of all the bitches, usually based his opinion of somebody on his first impression of them, so it didn't take him long to decide that he didn't particularly like Kate. But, for some reason, perhaps because his head was too clouded up with boredom, he couldn't think an ultra-witty insult, so instead he kneeled down and gathered up a big hunk of mud in his hands, and then hurled it in Kate's direction. It didn't hit her head like he hoped, but her back was good enough, he supposed.
(( I'M TIRED, OKAY? ))

Ryan shook his head. "It normally doesn't. Unless they decide to be difficult, then it gets harder to bring them back alive." He knew just how hard it was if they got spooked and tried to run just how difficult it was not to simply kill them. Sure they were faster than them, but when trying to get scared lost children to come with you it was best not to act like a crazy superhuman, it tends to freak them out and they don't come back willingly, not alive anyway.
He rolled his eyes at Nicki. "Whatever. Just make a decision because I'm leaving and I'm not having any last minute additions popping up along the way."

For a moment a shadow of anger passed across Nick's face, but - luckily for Azabelle - he wasn't pissed off enough with the girl in front of him to warrent a reaction other than a sigh. "The thing is, Azabelle," He began, the smirk returning. "Is that I generally can." Dear god, if he couldn't have this, what other perks could you get as leader? Sighing again, Nick gently clapped a hand on Azabelle's shoulder before moving it away to motion to some random vampires standing around. "You can go as well. Off you pop." Nick watched them go before finally getting to his feet, gently moving Azabelle out of the way before giving her a small grin. "Are you not going? I'm flattered you decided to stay with me."

Azabelle frowned slightly. She leaned on the armrest of the chair and kissed his cheek. "You know I'm only kidding darling." she reminded him gently. "I know you can, you do it all the time. All though I have a feeling that even if you weren't the leader, I think you'd still be able to get nearly everything you wanted. " she ran a hand gently through his hair. "You should be. But now what exactly makes you believe I'm staying for you?" she challenged him.

"Can't we all just get along?" he backed away from the scene with a look of worry, not wanting to get involved in case he got the blame. To distract himself from what was happening, he simply started up an interesting conversation with his twig about how the leaves could have possibly gotten on the floor; Kate's explanation had gone over his head. The theories they came up with included something to do with aliens and cats no longer having kittens, but having leaves instead.

"Smart girl." Nick murmered, before smirking at Azabelle's question. "Oh, I don't know." He began, leaning closer and closly watching Azabelle. "Because you can't be bothered to go? To tease the delightful Nicki? Or-" The smirk grew. "Is it for another reason you're going to tell me about?"

Sally1 ran screaming, passing both Sally2 and Billy1.
Or substitute the Sallys and Billys for descriptions,
The dark haired girl; the skinny girl; the large, broad shouldered male...etc. That way we would also have some extra humans( and vampires too if we made a couple ) to toy around with
