This tunnel will take you to domain of the vampires.

::The Vampire bat flies out of the cave and transforms herself into human form at the mouth of the cave. She leans on the dry wall and leans outside, inhaling the air deeply. There was blood on the wind, the smell enhanced and enriched by magic. She shivers in delight and languidly follows the scent out into the open::

::Carys shivers and tries to keep calm as her eyes adjust to the darkness::

(Great suicide mission, this.)

::Eventually, she reaches the domain of the vampires::

::As Theo walks further in the cave it gets darker and darker.::

(I've never been to fond of the dark)

::Theo uses the wall to guide himself deeper into the tunnel. He ends up unknowingly making it to the domain of the vampires.::

::Parker keeps walking until he makes it to the Domain of The Vampires.::

::Cora marches along with Azura happily.::

"Was that a friend of yours, sweetheart? Cora's looking forward to seeing that happen to more of your little friends..."

::They continue to the domain.::

::Valerie, lost and confused, continues along to the domain.::

(Wonder where this leads to...)

::The Vampire walks out to the Beach::

::The smell of the sea is stronger now and Dante walks quickly to the main section of the Caves::

::Aidan rushes to the beach, almost falling.::

:: Lily walks on, to the domain of the vampires.::

::Aidan leads Anex, Tobey and Ryo to the Domain of the Vampires.::

::Ezra to the Beach. No lollygagging!::

::Hawke shimmers in and finds himself in yet another set of caves. This wasn't the beach; heck, he couldn't even hear the sounds of water.::

(That bitch! I bet she gave me a broken power.)

::Thinking none too kindly about the Source, Hawke picks a direction and continues down the tunnel - walking right into the beach cave.::

::Lalala. N00bish Natalie wanders through the tunnel and on to the domain of the vampires.::

::Amy goes over her ankle and falls over, managing to roll to the side so the baby is safe. She lies there for a moment, sobbing miserably, but knows she has to keep going. She can hear the sounds of the beach. It's not much further.::

::Squinting to see in the dim light, Phoebe and Piper hurry along the passage.::

"Listen. A baby crying. It's her. Hurry!"

::She breaks out into a run and after a while comes across Amy and the baby. She falls down beside her and reaches out to help her sit up.::

"Hey, hey, are you okay?"

::Amy clutches the baby closer and pulls away, terrified.::

"Woah, woah! It's okay! We're not gonna hurt you!"

::Phoebe moves back slightly, keeping her distance. Her voice calms.::

"We're here to help you. Trust me. I know someone's after you."

::Piper catches up and watches silently.::

::Amy looks at Phoebe sharply, her eyes wide. She stares at the witch's face and tries to speak.::

"C-C-"

::The name won't come out. She instead turns to the baby and tries to stop him crying, murring soothingly at him and kissing his forehead.::

::Phoebe turns and looks over her shoulder at her sister. Amy seems to be calmer now, so she faces the girl again and continues keeping her voice level.::

"We're gonna get you out of here, okay? And we're gonna make sure that whoever's after you won't succeed."

::Amy looks up at Phoebe, her mouth open slightly, and nods.::

(Yes.)

::Phoebe touches her neck lightly.::

"My name's Phoebe. This is my sister Piper."

::The baby's quiet now, cuddled into Amy.::

::Amy's teeth chatter because she's shaking so much. It takes her a while to force out her own name.::

"A-A-"

::She shuts her eyes and clenches her teeth before trying again.::

"Amy."

"Amy. That's a pretty name."

::Phoebe smiles softly.::

"And what's your little baby's name?"

::Amy looks at Phoebe for a while before looking down at the baby.::

"He- he's... I don't know. He's not mine."

::She holds him even tighter now, though, scared they'll take him away.::

"It's okay. We're not gonna seperate you."

::Piper clears her throat.::

::Getting the message, Phoebe slowly rises, careful not to surprise Amy with any sudden movements.::

"But we are gonna have to get you out of here. We can protect you, but you need to come with us."

::Amy looks up at Phoebe and Piper from the floor, unsure. Cora must be after her by now, and these women have sweet faces and soft voices. They don't emanate horror like the thing back there. Deciding to go, Amy nods and struggles to get to her feet. Her limp will be even worse now.::

::Piper quickly goes to help Amy walk, seeing she'll have trouble. She wants to take the baby from the girl, afraid she'll fall over and drop him, but knows Amy will probably freak out if she does. Carefully, the witches take their innocents out onto the beach.::

::Julie enters the tunnel with the loser crew.::

"Dante, have you got any light?"

::Spot lights appear in the ceiling above them and curve off into the forseeable distance with a point of his finger::

"Yup."

::Veronica follows them in, glad to have a rest from using her power. This whole time, she'd been constantly making light orbs so they could see and it was getting tiring. Well, not tiring so much as worrying that when she had to do something big, she'd be delayed somehow.::

"Looks dead."

"Don't trust it. Watch out for bats. Vampires are sneaky bastards."

::Julie keeps her guard up as she heads further into the tunnel.::

"Let's just hurry."

::In response, Veronica trots a little faster.::

"I'm starting to think we're on another wild goose chase. This whole thing is screwed up."

[There's a quiet rumble up ahead; could be a distant explosion.]

"..."

::Julie sighs.::

"That sounds promising."

::She heads into the Beach cave.::
