What I saw when I got back in the game was shocking. I walked in to see Alfred blocking the button, Cain pinning The shopkeeper to the floor unhurt.
Alfred saying, "Just kill him already. You heard her order his death. So just kill him I know you are hungry."
Cain looked at Alfred and said "Actually she said and I quote 'Fine he can die, but I will be the one to deal with it. I guess I need to eat as well so I might as well make it worth my while anyways.' So I am waiting for her to come back so we can deal with him per her orders. I won't disobey my Master again, that was painful and I am a fast learner. I never want to be punished again and before you guys came in here she told me that I was not allowed to kill him. You were only ordered to prevent the button from being pushed. I had no orders at all but I didn't want him to get away so I am here pinning him to the ground."
"That was very wise of you Cain." I replied. "Now let the shopkeeper up. Alfred leave here."
"I do not take orders from the likes of you. I only obey my master." Alfred said offended.
"In this case it is best to listen to her, Alfred." Damien said. "We can wait outside or we can go back to the tavern that is your choice. Before we do that though, Alfred go shut off that alarm."
Alfred hopped over the shopkeeper and went to the back to shut off the alarm as ordered.
"Only a Terran can turn off an alarm that was set by a Terran. So I guess my slave has its uses." Damien replied.
A noise was heard out front, it sounded like a group of Terrans were waiting near the front door.
"I will have you wait outside but first I need to do something about that crowd out front." Cain had just let up the Shopkeeper and turned him towards me. "Shopkeeper YOU will go to the door open it up and say that the problem was taken care of and that you are sorry for using the alarm over a commoner vampire that is a servant. Do you understand me?"
"Yes master I will obey you." He said in a trance like state.
"You two go on out and let them know that everything is fine in here allow them to come in if they want to see that nothing is disturbed." I said.
Damien put on a smile and rolled his eyes at me, "More orders very funny there Lilith. We will step outside and make sure he doesn't try anything odd while he is talking to them."
They stepped outside and I heard a slight commotion but I didnt know what was going on out there.
"Before he goes outside I want him fully in thrall to us. Bite him on the leg a bit up from his ankle and have him put in a trance that will allow me to directly control his thoughts. I know you can do that as I read up on vampires and what they are able to do." I ordered Cain.
"Yes master with pleasure. It wont take long for me to do that and I am hungry so it will be even stronger then usual." Cain said lowering himself to the floor to lift his pant leg up.
I moved towards the clothes to look at it like I was a customer.
"Master its done," Cain replied.
"Now Cain wipe your mouth and come over here to me. Shopkeeper go to the door now." I ordered.
They both did as I told them to do. When the shopkeeper opened the door the noise outside came to a halt.
"Is everything alright in there? Your door was locked and we could see people moving around but no one was opening the door." One guy asked.
The shopkeeper looked down and said, "Yes everything is ok now. I came from the back of my shop and saw a noble and a vampire in my store. The noble she wanted clothes for the vampire and when I touched the noble I saw my death by the vampire in my eye. I thought it was going to kill me but when it tried to kill me the noble snapped her fingers and I saw its collar. It is her pet apparently but by then I had already triggered the alarm. I wont kill something that doesn't actually kill us Terrans, as it is better a pet then dead. It is a better torture then death ever could for on of those scum. You are welcome to come in the shop and see for yourself if you don't believe me. It took me a little while to shut off the alarm and come back out as I got so interested in how a noble came to have a vampire as a pet and got so engrossed that I lost track of what was going on and then those to there showed up and locked the door. I had to defuse the situation before I could get them to step out here so I could then talk to you and ensure that the vampire would not be killed by them. So everything is fine I am sorry to worry you guys. I also looked into my future and saw that I was safe and sound for now but tomorrow some bad fay will be in town causing mischief and that I will probably die by their evil deeds instead. So it appears I will be closing up my shop and passing it off to my son as I am fated to die very soon. Just not today, which means I am lucky to be able to know its coming and tie up loose ends today."
The people gathered walked over and put their hand on him and said things like sorry man but it happens to us all, we will miss you and other things like that. They then left and went on their way sad but happy things werent going to happen today. Only one came in and asked to see the vampires collar. I showed her it and she nodded closely and then said I have a good pet there and then left as well.
"Ok now to clean up our mess." I said looking at the shopkeeper. "Come here now."
