Layla grinned and shot after him with inhuman speed. She tackled him to the ground and dragged him into an alleyway. Her claws gripped at his neck, digging into the skin. She slashed them across his neck and blood started to bubble from the wound. It wasn't deep enough that he'd die instantly. Rather, he would suffer for minutes before he passed out. And eventually died of blood loss.

Derrick let out a grunt as he was tackled to the ground and tried to get away from her but she was too strong as she dragged him off into the alley. He stared at her, eyes wide and full of fear, he barely had time to react before he had a wound in his neck. He quickly brought up a hand to try to cover it up as he coughed up some blood. He couldn't speak, he couldn't breathe. Whatever this girl was, she definitely wasn't human. He didn't think this was the way he was going to go. (skip?)

Layla watched him slowly bleed out, her eyes flickering in the dark "You have given your life for something very important. Rest." as his final breaths of life slipped away she closed his eyes and stood. Her outfit was covered in the blood and there was a large pool formed around the body, slowly inching it's way out of the alley way. What would tomorrow bring? That answer to that would have to wait. (Yeah)

Elijah was up later on in the morning. He made his way out of his room and walked off to the kitchen and started to put some breakfast together for himself. He never got a text from Derrick last night when they parted ways, but Elijah just assumed that Derrick basically passed out as soon as he got back to his place. He tended to do that a lot so he didn't really think too much about it. He let out a yawn then got a mug out of the cupboard and started to make himself some coffee.

There was a knock at Elijahs door. It seemed to be happening a lot lately. Outside stood a cop with a notebook in hand and some other people behind him. They looked suspicious.

Elijah blinked then looked over to the door when he heard the knock. Who could be here this early? He made his way over to the door and opened it and looked at who was outside. He wasn't exactly expecting to see a police officer outside his door. "Can I help you officer?" Elijah asked them.

"I'm sorry to inform you, but there's been a murder." he held up a picture of Elijahs friend, the one from his ID "We were told this was the last place he was seen. We'd like to ask you a few questions."

Elijah blinked when the officer showed him the picture. "Derrick?" he muttered under his breath then looked to the officer. "Um, alright. Come on inside." he said to them and stepped out of the way of the doorway. Derrick was dead? He was murdered?

The officer nodded. They handed over the search warrant and the people following him started to walk around the house, taking pictures and picking things up "We would like to know what you did while he was here and when the last time was you saw him.'

Elijah watched as they started to search through his apartment. "Well Derrick came over last night around seven-ish and we talked for a bit before we left and went to a bar not to far from here and we were there for a few hours before we left. We went our separate ways and that was the last time I saw him." he told the officer.

"At exactly what time did he leave?" the officer scribbled some notes down and returned his gaze to the man in front of him. He had a feeling Elijah knew nothing about the murder, but even he was wrong sometimes. If this man did end up being the one who did it, he would be angry if he left a rock unturned.

"I think we left somewhere between 11:30 and midnight. I'm not very sure. Then he started to head back to his place and I went back to my apartment. His place is only a few minutes walk from where we were." Elijah explained, keeping his eyes on the floor as his mind tried to process what exactly was happening.

"He was found maybe five minutes away from here. It looks like he was injured and bled out slowly. His time of death is close to 1 in the morning. What were you doing here at one? And do you have anyone that can prove you were here?" the cop said these words as if he had said them a million times. And he really had.

"Well I was um... I was.. I was here. I was either getting ready for bed or um already asleep, I'm not sure." Elijah spoke, finding it a little hard to find words to form his sentences as his emotions started to build up inside. "The um, the lady at the front desk wasn't here that late, but I think there should be um, what are they called, oh, security cameras in the lobby that saw me come in." he answered the officer.

The police nodded and had another cop by him go to check on it. "Do you know anyone who might want to hurt your friend? Don't leave anything out. We need all the information we can get."

"No, not that I know of. He was a good guy, I don't know why anyone would want to hurt him." Elijah said to the officer, keeping his eyes on the ground.

Once it had been confirmed that Elijah was back before the murder had happened the cop stood and thanked him. A couple of forensics guys were talking nearby "I heard his throat was torn out. Bit it was done so he bled out slowly. And there was no sign of a struggle. Only that his body had been drug into the alley way after wards."

Elijah overheard what the cop had said and tears started to well up in his eyes. Oh gosh, that sounded terrible. Derrick suffered and he didn't even know, he wasn't even around. He could have stopped him or walked with or just something.

It took another hour or so for them to all be gone. The cop said he was free to do what he wanted, seeing that he had been cleared. They asked for his number if any questions came up.

Elijah did his best to keep himself composed as the police were still in his apartment, but as time passed it started to get harder. He kept thinking about what had happened and his emotions kept building and building. So as soon as the police left his apartment he burst into tears.

Allen was walking to Elijah place to visit when the smell of blood nearly threw him off his feet. It was powerful. There must be a lot. He slowly walked over to a crowd that had gathered, though small, near and alley way. In the alley way was dried blood. A lot of it. Worried, Allen broke into a run and towards Elijahs place.

Elijah held his head in his hands as he continued to cry and he couldn't stop himself. And the same thought kept popping into his head: This is all my fault. This is all my fault. This is all my...

Allen walked up the stairs and too the others door. He knocked on it and waited a couple moments.

Elijah looked up at the door when he heard the knock at the door. Who could it be this time? The police again? He sniffled then wiped at his eyes, trying to stop his crying just a little bit. He slowly stood up and went to the door. He then took in a shaky breath before he opened the door.

Allen greeted him but cut it short when he noticed Elijahs face "Woah, what happened?"

Elijah sniffled and was on the verge of tears once again as he started to think about it again. "My-My friend, he was killed last night. And he was with me a few minutes before, and-and I could have done something. And-and it's all my fault." he said to him and the tears started to fall again.

Oh... that must've been where all the blood came from. That was a nasty scene. Placing his hands on both of Elijahs shoulder he said firmly "Don't think that way. That's the first step towards misery. Deaths happen, and there was nothing you could have done." he insisted.

Elijah looked up at him when he placed his hands on his shoulders. He just responded with a nod and let out another shaky breath as he wiped at his tears and calmed himself for a second. "D-Do you think another vampire could of done it?" he asked Allen then sniffled. "Because the police said he has his... throat torn out."

"It's possible. But just tearing out their throat is weird. Normally a rogue vampire would drink the blood and the body would be left and empty husk." Allen scratched his head. So strange...

Elijah nodded and wiped at his eyes again. He was silent for a moment before he spoke up again. "I just, I can't believe he is gone, when I just talked to him yesterday." he said quietly as he looked to the floor.
