Olivia was completely surprised to see Ashley running down the hall, noticing he looked...almost frightened by something. Although when she spotted Vergo coming around the corner and stopping at the sight of her, she knew something must have been up.
"Vergo...what the hell are you doing?" Olivia snapped, reaching her arm around Ashley like a mother would her child, and stepped in the doorway so that the other vampire couldn't pass her.
Vergo growled, his eyes on Ashley before focusing on the female. "Get out of the way Olivia."
Instead of listening, she was about to close the door, not surprised when Vergo stopped her. "Destro will kill you if you do anything to him. I'm warning you..."
Vergo snarled, glancing at Olivia but stepping back and shaking his head. "Fucking bitch, I'll get him someday." Looking at Ashley and smiling, Vergo finally turned to leave, being out of sight within seconds.
Olivia sighed in relief, closed the door and turned to Ashley, cupping his face in her hands. "Did he do anything to you?" She asked while looking at him, trying to find any sign of trauma.
