"I don't know what you're talking about," Alice struggled to remain calm as Cale looked at her with one corner of his lip curled up.
Alice struggled again, not liking being at Cale's mercy in the middle of the cobweb. But Cale wouldn't give her what she wanted.
"I wonder why a very old vampire has the appearance of a child," Cale muttered, and Alice looked at him like she wanted to kill him.
"Stop talking nonsense and release me now, human!"
"Okay, now that I've freed you, what are you going to do next?" he asked Alice hesitantly. When Cale realized this, he suppressed his sly smile and continued. "You have nowhere to go, am I right? Right now you are being chased by others and you have taken refuge in this dungeon that I don't know how you got in. But when you get out, they will come after you again."
"You're going to protect me then?" scoffed Alice, giving Cale a disdainful look. "A human protecting a vampire?"
