"Get it!"
"Don't let it get away!"
"How did it get out!?"
The distraction seems to be working. A spine chilling smile appearing on my face at the thought. Daniel is being chased down the halls by a couple of angry vampires and I'm honestly surprised he's been able to run for so long.
If I look around the area, this place is pretty much all made of stone. The pillars, the floor, the walls, the.. gargoyles. Geh, I hate gargoyles. It's probably all the video games but they just make me feel uneasy. Anyway, the only things here that don't seem to be made of stone are the furniture and the doors that are made of a rather antique yet hard wood.
After familiarising myself with the area I headed back to where I, and the other two were being held as prisoners and blood bags and began to lay my trap. After giving it some heavy thought, an idea came to mind.
- 3rd person
"We'd better check on the other humans."
"Yeah, though I doubt the one missing a hand and Lors' broken toy would have gotten very far."
The two vampires that had taken Kai's hand let out a small chuckle to themselves as they continued to rush towards the prisoners.
*creak*
Once again, the familiar sound and sight of a pair of vampires walking through the door as it shut slowly behind them could be seen and heard throughout the room. The vampires however, were greeted with a sight they would find extremely unfamiliar. The woman or, as they referred to her as, Lors broken toy, was standing in front of them, no chains and a bright, beautiful smile on her face which, as she approached the bewildered men, twisted into one of lust as the woman began to rub herself on one of their bodies.
"Th-this is... Lors won't be happy..."
[Woman] "who cares about him. He's not enough to satisfy me. Give me everything you've got."
"O-okay then."
The vampires face became an ugly, lustful, greedy form as he bared his fangs towards the woman's neck, only to feel a sudden sharp pain in his chest and the façade around him crumble to reveal a smiling 16 year old human boy with black hair and grey eyes holding a wooden stake fashioned from the piece of wood he had taken days earlier that had pierced the vampires heart moments before. Looking around in shock, he saw the woman from earlier, only this time the woman was lying on the ground with the back of her head blown away from the inside.
[Kai] "I told you what would happen but you didn't listen."
"C-carden..."
[Kai] "your friend can't hear you, he's in the same illusion you were.
"Wha- illusion?"
[Kai] "slow, aren't you. Tell me where Lors is."
"Fuck you"
The vampire spat blood into the young boys face but the boy simply smiled at the act of aggression which made the vampire shiver.
[Kai] "maybe I wasn't clear enough with you. Tell me where Lors is, or I'm going to keep doing this.
"Gah!"
Electricity flared to life around the stake, immediately entering his body and causing the vampires insides to fry for a moment, leaving the skin around the wound and the inside of his body with burning scars.
"S-stop..."
[Kai] "are you going to tell me?"
"Y-yes, yes I'll tell you!"
[Kai] "then speak."
"I-in his office! Near the library!"
[Kai] "and where is that? I don't exactly know this place very well."
"Th-that's all I know I swear!"
[Kai] "is that so? Then i guess I'll just have to ask your friend then, after I kill you of course."
"W-w-wait, we-we don't know the directions but the lords daughter does! Her room is just down the hall!"
[Kai] "thank you."
"S-so you'll let me go?"
An evil smirk appeared on Kai's face as he smiled at the pleading vampire.
[Kai] "of course not."
"Wha-"
[Kai] "
From within the vampires body, the stake Kai was holding onto burst into thousands of tiny splinters, piercing organs and other important body parts, leading to an almost immediate yet painful death. In the mean time, the other vampire was now on his back with his pants down to his ankles, thrusting into an imaginary naked woman. "Disgusting" was the thought Kai had after seeing this. He walked over to the writhing pile of repressed libido.
[Kai] "
An ember of flame appeared by the vampires genitalia before growing in size and lighting the small, grotesque thing on fire. The first look on the creatures face was pleasure, then a dawning curiosity, panic and finally pain.
[Kai] "
Kai put extra force into his leg as he raised it up above the creature of the night and stomped down on the monsters face, caving in both it and the ground beneath it, creating an unrecognisable mess of stone, blood, brain matter and skull shards.
[Kai] "ah, I wasn't thinking right. Now I need new shoes. Though these aren't exactly designer."
The burlap clothing and foot coverings he wore were now effectively covered in the remains of the three he had murdered in this room. After thinking for a bit and looking over to the two dead vampires, he nodded to himself assertively.
[Kai] "well you won't be needing these anymore."
After grabbing the non-ruined upper body clothing from the vampire whose head he'd smashed in and the pants from the one he'd destroyed the insides of, putting them on, Kai gave one final look towards the scene, almost reminiscing the events that unfolded moments ago as a small smile pursed his lips.

[Kai] "
A polished vase just outside the room allowed me to check the results of my spell. It worked. My eyes were no longer the dull, lifeless grey but a crimson, vampiric red. This way, other vampires shouldn't think twice about me walking around and searching. Hopefully they'll disregard me as just another one of them searching for the escaped prisoners.
Alright, that guy said it was around here...
Ah, this should be it.
After walking down the hall and up a stair case, a door with a metal plaque on it with the words Lucile Verona Feyren stood in front of me. None of these other doors had a name on them so I'll just assume that this is the right one.
*creak*
Opening the door, my eyes were filled with a surprising sight. Sitting on a large red bed with opened black drapes, in a room decorated the same way you would expect of a conservative yet delicate princess with stuffed animals neatly all around the place, a tea set in the open space sitting on a table made for two, is a young girl with long, flowing silver hair and bright golden eyes. This must be the lords daughter by the words on the plaque.
[Kai] "miss Feyren"
[Lucile] "eh? Ah, y-yes?"
A stutter? She's scared? Nervous? Hmm. No, ignore it. She's just another one of these creatures and would just as quickly drink my blood. I need that information.
[Kai] "I am terribly sorry to intrude but I am looking for the office of Lors."
[Lucile] "hm? It's next to the library..."
[Kai] "ah, my apologies, I should have been more precise with my question. Would you be so kind as to give me directions towards the library?"
[Lucile] "y-you don't know?"
Shit, she's getting suspicious. Should I just kill her now? No, killing the lords daughter right now would bring unwanted attention towards myself. I can do this, calm down. I took a deep breath and continued to lie through my teeth.
[Kai] "I'm new here unfortunately."
[Lucile] "o-oh, a thrall?"
[Kai] "indeed. My master asked me to inform Sir Lors of a certain situation that requires his attention."
[Lucile] "oh, o-okay then. If-if I may, how did you know who I was if you're new?"
Suspicious girl isn't she. Oh well, it's actually kind of nice to meet someone as distrustful as myself, so much so that I unintentionally let a surprisingly warm smile creep onto my face.
[Kai] "it is on the plaque on your door miss Feyren."
A look of surprise then embarrassment appeared on her quickly reddening face as she looked away from me.
[Lucile] "r-right.. um, the library is... on the next floor up in a room l-labeled library. Lors room is r-right next to it on the left."
[Kai] "my deepest gratitude miss Feyren."
[Lucile] "o-oh! Um.."
She stopped me as I was leaving the room. I guess I'll play along for a little longer.
[Kai] "yes milady?"
Her face went slightly red again before she calmed herself down and continued.
[Lucile] "th-there were two things I wanted t-to know."
[Kai] "ask, and I shall answer if I can."
[Lucile] "um, w-who is your master? A-and what's your name?"
[Kai] "apologies, but my masters name is not something I have been granted the knowledge of."
[Lucile] "o-oh..."
[Kai] "though my name on the other hand, is Kai. A pleasure to truly make your acquaintance."
The fact that I was willing to share that information made her cheer up after being dejected at the fact I couldn't tell her my masters name. I couldn't exactly say a random name to someone who may very well know every person in this place. Not exactly a risk I'm willing to take.
[Lucile] "I-it was a pleasure meeting you as well Kai."
I gave one last warm (fake) smile and left the room to go and have a little "chat" with the next target on my list.
- Lucile's pov
I-I did it. I actually managed to speak to someone. I think it helped that he looked the same age as me even if it differs in reality. I hope I can meet him again. This feeling... I think I'd like to be friends with him.
