Roland’s eyes glanced up at the street signs as he passed 62nd and Madison in a blur. Since his bite there was nothing that brought him more joy than running whether it was just an afternoon jog or his glorious opportunities when he could transform and tear through the woods at night. Rho still had some daylight left, and even though it wasn’t the full moon he wanted to change as soon as he could. It had been too long since he had gotten run free in wolf form.
He quickened his pace, making sure that he wasn’t running too fast as to draw attention to himself. Even in New York humans on the street took notice if you were running faster than a cab. He finally made it up to 85th street and cut into Central Park.
Roland looked down at his watch, and then up at the sky. He guessed that he had about 15 minutes left before the last traces of sun fell beneath the horizon. His attention was drawn to his phone vibrating in his pocket. He usually left his phone at home, but something told him to bring it tonight.
“’Ello?” He said nonchalantly as he answered his phone.
“Yo Rho, it’s going down tonight!” His buddy Jasper said hurriedly into the phone.
“Wait, what? Why so soon?” Roland answered, keeping his voice cool even though his friends panic made his heartbeat quicken.
“They can’t wait man. I’ll keep you posted man, make sure you’re in a state where you can answer your phone.” With that his phone clicked dead.
Fricken Jasper Roland growled under his breath, and with that threw caution to the wind and tore as fast as he could in the direction of the turtle pond haphazardly glancing to the left and right for anyone. The park was surprisingly empty for 7 o’clock, but that suited him just fine. Taking one final glance around this one painstakingly careful he lept into the air and landed gracefully on all four paws.
This is why I love the turtle pond he thought to himself with a smile. It’s always deserted enough to change Roland also found comfort that there was a particularly plentiful amount of trees in the area, but as he ran he still made sure that he couldn’t smell anyone nearby.

Vladimir had slept in the park the night before and was now stranded in the shadow of a tree. he saw the wolf jump past the turtle pond and hid behind the tree thinking wait till the sun goes down to attack him so you don't die. he knew it wouldn't be long till night so he waited and as he waited he planed what he would do to kill the werewolf.
he was glad he had brought his pistols and chain with him, but wasn't proud of the fact he had been stuck under a tree all day.

As Roland was enjoying his run he took a quick sniff in the air and jolted to a halt. Something smelled…off. Roland growled and hunched ready for the attack. Though he knew his other senses were heightened and he was better for a fight in his wolf form, the one thing he missed was his crystal clear eyesight to watch his back as a human. come out come out wherever you are you bastard. Roland thought to himself. He really was not in the mood for a fight tonight, but Jasper had pissed him off enough with the news that they had to rush that he was ready for anything. And if that even meant a fight he felt sorry for the poor soul that crossed his path. Suddenly his attention was drawn to a tree on the opposite side of the pond though he wasn’t sure why.

realizing he was known he smiled at the trap he had set he walked out from behind the tree gun and one end of the chain in hand.
He yanked the chain sending hundreds of logs falling to the ground and then he leaped through the air kicking off the falling logs to hid himself again.
he then fired a few shoots at the wolf as he hid, they weren't normal bullets they were sliver.
he hid in the tree tops hoping the wolf hadn't seen where he went and then began to plan his next move.

Roland growled as it started raining logs. As all of them landed within ten feet from him he wondered why the other being had wasted his trap already. After the final log fell and he was ready to find who was trying to kill him. He heard shots being fired. What the HELL! he growled again and heard something land in the trees. Damn vamp is in the trees he thought to himself. Realizing that he needed to be more cautious of those bullets than normal.
Sneaking behind the tree he transformed back into his human form and pulled out his cell-phone
“yo Jasper, It’s gonna be a little bit” He said as soon as he heard a response. Not even waiting for an answer he closed his phone slipped it back in his pocket and jumped up into the tree. Using his sharpened eyesight to scan the trees he noticed a form in the trees across the way.
“What the hell do you want!!!” Roland shouted to the figure in the trees. He realized it was a stupid question, but he was hoping that maybe he’d be able to talk his way out of this fight. He suddenly wasn’t in the mood to battle again

Vladimir hiding answered the werewolf "just killing a pest" and as he said this another trap sprang, the branches around the werewolf closed up on him and Vladimir switched hiding places. he knew he would bust out soon so he fired off more shots at him before he hid again.
He then thought of the last trap he had set, it would be suicidal for most vamps to use but he had been trained to know how to use it, he was thinking of course of his fire trap
he waited for the wolf to bust out before he set it off.

"just killing a pest" He heard the character shout back, his assumption confirmed. With that he felt the branches of the tree that he was in close up from underneath him. How is this possible?? he snarled to himself but he managed to slide out from underneath before the branches fully engulfed him. He waited behind the tree as pieces of bark fell into his hair from the scars the new set of bullets cut into the tree.
Waiting for the vampire to make the next move he hid cautiously, not cowardly behind the tree. When nothing happened he realized that his opponent must assume he’s still in the tree waiting for him to escape. Pulling his own specially made scythe/butterfly knife from the hem of his shorts and ripping a dead branch from the tree so it broke off at a point. Leaning over the side of the tree he saw the other vampire with his back to him in a tree across the way. Silently running full speed he ran up and jumped into the tree with a single leap. He slashed at the vampire with his knife, scanning the tree for branches he could grab in the event of contact.

He dodges the the knife but gets cut slightly on the arm. as he dodges he does a back flip to another branch and says, as he tosses a bottle of a discolored liquid, "Catch". when the bottle gets within 4 feet away from Rho he shoots it sending flames every where and catching the trees on fire, he disappears in the burst of flames to a hiding spot and then comes up behind Rho and kicks him in the back.

Hoping for something more destructive Rho is content for now with the slash he left on the vampires arm. He kicks off the vampire as it does a back flip to another branch and moves up a couple branches. As he stabilizes himself he hears the vampire shout ”catch and watches as he shoots a bottle flying towards him lighting the tree on fire.
Stupid prick Roland thinks to himself This puts him in more danger than it does me
Roland jumps up the tree to a patch of branches not yet affected by the flames. As he’s scanning the surrounding area he smells the creature moving towards him and braces himself for contact as he feels the vampire kick him in the back. He reaches right out to the branch across from him and pushes himself up and returns a roundhouse kick to the face of the vampire.
Landing the kick Roland jumps out of the tree transforming back into a wolf and runs behind a rock near the burning tree.

he is hit by the roundhouse kick and he seemingly falls through th branches into the fire.his voice is herd above Rho "I'm not dead yet!"
He falls down to the ground and runs past Rho, the chain following him destroying things behind him.
he then jumps off the ground to a branch and hides within the blazing tree tops, not in the fire it self but on the spots not burning. and shouts back "the fire really doesn't scare me pest!"

"I'm not dead yet!" Roland hears the vampire shout as he falls through the fire. He sees his opponent run past him and jumps back into the tree.
"the fire really doesn't scare me pest!"
This sucker’s just trying to play cat and mouse now, doesn’t he realize I don’t really want to fight him?
Rho transforms back to human for and cover his hand with his leather jacket takes some of the burning branches and tosses them and the base of the tree. The most and dead bark on the tree immediately light up, causing even more of the tree to be engulfed in flames.
let him stay up there, I’m DONE he thinks to himself as he morphs back and starts to run out of the park, ducking behind every rock and tree he can in case the vampire tries shooting at him again, the last thing he needed to deal with tonight was a bullet in the back.

Seeing the wolf burn the bottom of the tree he quickly jumps out and lands on the ground seeing him run off and thinks, maybe i should leave him alone he's in a hurry after thinking that he walks outside the park but then runs after the wolf, not to kill him but to see what he is doing.

Roland makes it out of the park, seemingly safe. He runs into an open phone booth and changes back into a human. He pulls out his phone and calls Jasper again.
“Sorry about that man…Some punk vamp jumped me in the park.” He said looking down at some of the scrapes on his arms and hands. “So have I missed it yet, or do I still have time??”
“No Rho, your good just make it to 32nd and Broadway FAST!”
After hanging up the phone Roland made his way to the subway.
