The supreme leader of the clan chanted imperceptible words that only he can understand while his followers stood around the women with their heads down and holding sharp knives in their hands, ready to kill the women and offer their life to Count Lestat's awakening.
Half an hour later.
Amber's eyelids fluttered, she awakened in the middle of the chanting, and to her horror and surprise, more women were lying on the floor beside her, all unconscious!
She saw Lady Jasmine and Helen as well, both their eyes were closed. The women's mouths were covered with clothing to silence them including her.
Then she noticed the men wearing black cloaks surrounding them, her eyes widened in fright when she noticed that they were holding sharp knives in their hands.
Her heart beats rapidly in her rib cage after realizing that they're no longer in the hall, they were taken away and brought here against their will to be slaughtered!
