Escape from Las Vegas

The Escape from Las Vegas takes place in Bloodbound, Book 2, Chapters 3 and 4. It takes place after Your Character (Bloodbound) was kidnapped by Gaius Augustine and Scholar Jameson, who used her abilities as a Bloodkeeper to find the First Vampire's blood as part of their plan to return Gaius to his usual state, restore his powers, and take over the world.

Prelude
You return to your apartment and are attacked by an unknown assailant. She tries to threaten the attacker but does not succeed. You text Adrian Raines for help and attempt to fight back but are unsuccessful. You then wake up in Scholar Jameson's quarters and have a choice to either treat both Scholar Jameson and Gaius Augustine with kindness to find out more or treat them with scorn. Scholar Jameson is finally able to extract a memory of where the First Vampire's blood is hidden. You are then rescued by Adrian Raines and Kamilah Sayeed.

Captured
Your Character reveals everything that had happened to her to Adrian Raines, Kamilah Sayeed, Jax Matsuo, and Lily Spencer. She tells them that Gaius is hunting for an "Amulet of Nero" to get to the First Vampire's blood. Your Character also reveals that she is tired of being a damsel in distress, that she feels like the weakest link of the group and that there are still things that she does not know about herself. She worries that because of her, other people she values get hurt. Adrian, Kamilah, Jax, and Lily says otherwise. Lily hacks Adrian's computer and finds out that the Amulet of Nero is bought by a billionaire dealer, Langdon Kavinsky, who lives at Las Vegas. The group decides to go there to beat Gaius in getting the Amulet.

Upon arrival, the event proves to be a trap as Langdon Kavinsky cancelled the appointment in the last minute. When they arrive to meet Langdon Kavinsky, the land is barren and Langdon Kavinsky makes them wear "tracker bracelets". Langdon Kavinsky also stalls for time by "showing his collection." Your Character tells Kamilah about your fears and is later confirmed when Langdon reveals that he is going to keep the group as a collection.

If you want something done, YOU have to do it yourself
After being put into cells, Adrian apologizes to Your Character for dragging her into a dangerous situation. Kamilah tries to break the glass but it is no use as it is bulletproof glass. Jax has his sword taken away, he is angry for not being able to protect Your Character, and he does not like being kept like a caged animal. Finally, Lily is down. Cal Lowell reveals that he had tried for weeks to break out but because of the tracker bracelet, he cannot. Cal Lowell reveals that he is a werewolf sent by his Alpha leader, Kristof Jenson, to retrieve an artifact that is sacred to the werewolves and like the group, he was captured by Langdon.

Your Character is finally tired of bad people hurting your friends and comes up with an idea. Adrian tries to dissuade Your Character of the idea but she enacts it anyways. When Mr. Klempft comes, you have a choice to tell him that she is either the First Vampire or just a human. Mr. Klempft is skeptical at first but lets Your Character out of her cell where she attacks him. She first uses an ancient jar to smash his head with it. Then, she disorientates him by knocking a shelf that had a jar with sand in it to take the watch away. Mr. Klempft nearly gains an upper hand until she grabs a Ram Mace to weaken him but it annoys him more. Your Character uses some self defense moves Jax has taught her to disable him and take the remote that controls the cells.

Leading a Jail Break
Your Character immediately goes down to where her friends are and tries every button to free them from their cells. As Mr. Klempft tries to stop her, Cal Lowell, who is freed from his cell, transforms to the amazement of Your Character, Kamilah, Jax, and Lily, and defeats Mr. Klempft. Cal thanks Your Character and she frees the rest of her friends. Kamilah compliments on her brilliant plan and Adrian gently scolds Your Character for her recklessness, but praises her for her bravery and intellect. Langdon calls for private security after finding out what has happened and a brawl is ensured with the group emerging victorious.

Langdon realizes what has happened and tries to have the Amulet of Nero destroyed, but Your Character bluff threatens him to surrender the Amulet. Adrian snaps Langdon's neck to the shock of everyone. Your Character begs Adrian, Kamilah, Jax, and Lily to destroy the First Vampire's blood to prevent Gaius Augustine from gaining his full power but is refused. The First's blood is very valuable. If it is put in the wrong hands or be destroyed, they lose any chance of survival. Adrian and Kamilah thanks Cal for what he has done and the group either has a choice to stay at Las Vegas for one more day with Cal or part ways.
