In town

"I think we're getting close. We were only tested once," Melina pointed out.

Elias knew that she had a point. As confident in their abilities as he wanted to be, they had only fought together once against two vampires.

Alaric had the strength of at least ten vampires, which meant that they had to up their game even more if they wanted a chance at destroying him.

"We could always try to face him," Elias replied. "When we feel ready."

He wasn't sure how great that plan was, but they could only run for so long. They were either going to get tracked down, or they would stand and fight.

He wanted to catch Alaric off guard, but he knew that would be hard since they were constantly trying to be tracked.

They would have to make the best decision that they could in the moment and hoped that it worked.

The worst part of all this was the uncertainty of everything. He never knew what was going to happen next.
