(( Kristi is prescribed skeletons ))
The dreams returned as Trevor slept. Dead as his body was, his mind was in tumult. After night fell, he was still too weary to rise, though awake enough to hear this conversation coming from the next room. Santi- "This old ruin has worked out rather well for us thus far. How did you choose it?"
Theodore- "It was my old home, once upon some tragic time. Still has an air of the nostalgic for me, mmm..."
Miss Bunny noticed Trevor's eyes open and tried to cheer him. ((RP Trev / Bunny short exchange?))

Miss Bunny - "Look, Trevor. I made a hat. Do you want a hat?"
Trevor - "I'm good, but thank you," Replied Trevor without moving from his resting place.
It was a little cloche with pastel flowers. Trevor couldn't possibly think of what she made it from while somewhere so dreary.

ELSEWHERE DURING THE DAY, Demetri tripled down on surveillance measures, had agents human and otherwise running down very lead no matter how slight. Lepponen and Florence continued to ply magic techniques to no avail, though they felt like they were getting close to something. Then an agent reported a piece of information that Demetri's computer weirdo combined with other data sets and pinged as noteworthy: unknown activity inside the old Kellgren estate. Was it just squatters? A ghoul with a good sniffer drove by and confirmed the presence of vampires.
He rallied the team, tried to call in more support as well. It was time to attack. The vampires flew, to minimize the odds of being noticed before the last second. They dropped out of the sky with weapons ready... These Guys- "... ... ..." BRINGING US TO THIS MOMENT, WHEN Trevor was pleased his headmate had zero prior opinions on magic talking bunnies to spoil the moment with her. It was pleasant. In the other room,
Santi- "You lived here before? Um... Do you think the Circle might-?"
The Circle started coming in doors and windows like fast zombies, having secured invitation within an hour of discovering Team Theo's likely presence there.
Demetri- "Take that, dogs!" *BADDA BADDA BADDA* went the drum-fed submachinegun Marcus- "*SQUAAIEEEE!*" went the horrible monster
Döllinger- "Honorless wankster!" *SCHLING SCHLING* went the swords *ting ting rololol* went the grenade
Demetri let off a stream of big bullets to soften them up, then pulled the gun back to let more attacks in. Döllinger and Ausmiller just drew the swords and built their speed and strength. Marcus unleashed a squall of intense sound, and Engelsdorff tossed in a humble grenade. It burst. By then, Theo and Santi were leaping through a hole they had punched in the ceiling. Only a few shards of shrapnel scraped them, but swords were soon slicing the ceiling from underneath them.
In the other room, Trevor felt very powerfully like dying would be easier than dealing with that noise. What did he try to do?

Not unlike burrows, Rat's cover could be rebuilt. Unfortunately, once the tunnels are dug up it's a regular game of chase. Then if flight nor fight are options...
Trevor - "If nobody comes back for me in time, I want you to run."
Miss Bunny - "Never surrender!"

In the ceiling not far away, Theodore- "Ahh! The cursed luck!"
Theodore's torso was raked over with shrapnel and sword slices, scorched with bullet holes. He reached for Santi. Santi- "No time... escape!" Santi waved away Theo's hand, trying vainly to communicate what he intended to do - grab Trevor and flee - when his left leg was sliced off below the knee. Theodore gasped and grabbed Santi, poised to fly off with him, when he was distracted by Trevor being tossed into the attic space by a beleaguered Bunny. Miss Bunny- "One more?"
Trevor didn't know she was that buff.

Trevor - "By all means, go for it!" Trevor would work his magic on the move. What a way to start the night.

Theodore let go of Santi with one arm, and the Marchese turned into a pigeon to improve his portability. He grabbed Trevor by one hand and flew through the roof as fast as he could go. Trevor still lost half a foot to gunfire while Miss Bunny exploded in a puff of spirit cotton, and as quickly as the escapees were into the sky, they were being followed.
Demetri- Döllinger- "NOT YET!" "FACE YOUR END!" *BADDA BADDA BADDA BADDA*
Instinctively, Theodore focused on the wind and it in turn picked up, pushing him further on his trajectory, blasting pursuers with a strong headwind, and dissipating the blood and scent trail behind them.
Back in the ruined mansion, Ausmiller pulled Engelsdorff from a rubble pile. Ausmiller- Engelsdorff- "Wie geht's, schön?" "Es endet nie..."
The other vampires bowled madly through the night sky. Trevor could feel his foot throb and his need for blood rise dangerously. The skin was healed over, but the flesh surged as it tried vainly to do the kind of regeneration that was going to take days to finish. He couldn't focus on the hex, but given vampire hearing, he could surely exchange some words with Theodore about the circumstance.

Trevor winces at the pain, but reacts little more. Fussing would only burn extra energy.
Trevor - "This automatic regeneration is going to kill me someday..."

Theodore- "We shall triumph, friend! Worry not! We've got all the world on our side-- well, except those fools back there, but everyone else! I swear..."

Theodore's bold statement distracted from the pain.
Trevor - "Do you mean there're other allies to the cause?"

Theodore- "It's true! Ah--uh, your little brothers and sisters! They are good friends of mine, and true to the cause. In fact, perhaps we could use their help tonight..."

Trevor had his suspicions that would be the answer.
Trevor - "If the wiles of the Circle have swayed loyalties, trusting my siblings could be risky... It would also put them in jeopardy. Please think hard on where you decide to go." Wherever Theodore chose to take refuge, Rat could rebuild the veil there. Hopefully that would be enough until everybody healed.

Theodore- "Aw, don't worry lad, they've never let me down! Perhaps they've got some valuable insight. We can say hello to them and continue on our merry way to..."
Theodore- "Wherever we're headed..."

Trevor - "Say, Santi? Are there any locales you know of that aren't in the Circle's knowledge?" Trevor imagined there were times in Santi's past that he needed to hide, but he would never put it so brusquely.

The pigeon looked at Trev with what he could imagine was sadness. Then, as it clicked and burred out a sound, he realized he could understand it - not as the person it was, but as the communication of an animal.Pigeon Santi- <<I do not like this, I am hurt.>> Suddenly, the three vampires were swallowed into an all consuming void of blackness. Somehow, they were still able to see each other, as if lit by the moon, but nothing else existed. Theodore- "Good lord, what's happened?! Santi?"
