It was in the light of the morning Dante and a group of his men arrived at ta cemetery. “Spread out, we are looking for places that look recently disturbed. Places where the vampire could be hiding during the day.” Dante said. Dante and his men began to spread out among the crypts and graves. As Dante moved down the rows of graves, he did not see any sign of disturbance in the graves or tombs situated around the grave. This was an initial part of his investigation, looking to find out where the vampire might be hidden within the city. Dante was sure he was in the city and not in the countryside. The vampire would not stray far from his hunting grounds. So here they were but even as he returned to the entrance and his men began to reappear with nothing to show for their investigation. They had been searching since dawn. With no sightings or deaths in the night Dante had decided to try and find the vampires hideout. The cemetery seemed to be a good place to start but with no luck. Dante was not sure where to check next. The next best place would be in a building that was largely unoccupied. Dante knew he would have to ask Lucian if he wanted to figure out where such a building might be. Dante sent some of his men out on patrol and went with an escort of two men to find Lucian. They went to the guard outpost where he had first spoken to Lucian and approached the guard. “Is Lucian here” Dante asked. “No sir, the captain is out on patrol,” the guard said. “Perhaps you can help me, I am looking for buildings that are old and abandoned,” Dante asked. The guard brought Dante to a map and pointed out were building that he knew fit Dante’s description. Dante nodded and left the outpost with the locations that he wanted. He went with his escort, and they went and began to scout out the building. Many of the buildings, despite being old and unoccupied, were clearly being taken care of. As they moved down the list, Dante did find three buildings that fit his criteria but by then the sun was beginning to set. Dante knew it would be better to investigate the inside of the buildings during the day and with more of his men. Dante chose to return to the Manor as the sun began to set and was told by one of his men on guard that Willow and Iris had left the Manor at midday and had found new accommodations. Dante acknowledged this and returned to his room and began setting out his plans for the next day.
