Michael wasn't as surprised as Vedora was because Michael knew it was Peyton way before he took off the sack around her head. He heard Tiriana and the alpha guardian talk about the missing guardians led by Peyton and Victor told him he was sick of guardian blood, Michael connected the dots and reached a conclusion it was Peyton.
Peyton's face was messed up as though the vampires were drinking her blood and beating her up for some sick pleasure. Michael hated the guardians but no one deserved this.
"You" Peyton could barely say the word,
"I think we should put her out of her misery," Ayag sighed. Even Ayag who inherited the personality of Gaya couldn't help feeling pity for Peyton.
"No" Michael gently grabbed her bloodied shoulder, injecting her with a little bit of healing potion to keep her alive and with the Blood Tonic to end her life if she tried to be a hero although Michael doubted she would.
"Are you the dark lord?"
