"So, you'll cooperate then?"

Anna looked up at the man, holding his knife there above her, grinning evily.

"Yes," she said weakly, feeling the pain in her face and arm, the blood against her. She felt weak from the bleeding. All she really wanted to do was sleep, at home lay down in her soft bed, close her eyes, and drift off. If only she was dreaming, but she knew she wasn't.

"Good, I'd hoped you see things my way, but now I'm going to have you kept in the local inn, you'll sleep in that room, don't even try escaping, I have guards at all exit points, and it's right above the bar, so it will be noisey." He explained as he motioned for the guard to take her there. Drev' Thar now could relax, he could go back to his tent, and strategize, he now had a new weapon, tomorrow his ships would leave, they'd reach Caldale within a day or two, that is if those ships were as fast as the man had said they were.

He walked out of the musty, dry, and foul smelling prison, he was graced by a nice, evening breeze, it did wonders for his nose, he couldn't get the putrid smell of lingering death out of it. He cursed as he walked past the battle circle, he noticed the town was empty, which meant everyone was still working, his captains would be tired tomorrow, he'd have them alternate shifts, he wouldn't let fatigue slow his ambition.

I feel it everyday it's all the same.
It brings me down, but I'm the one to blame.
I've tried everything to get away.
So, here I go again chasing you down again.
Why do I do this?
It feels like everyday stays the same.
It's dragging me down, and I can't pull away.
Over and over, over and over you make me fall for you.
Over and over, over and over You don't even try to.
I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead.
I know what's best for me, but I want you instead.

She felt that her curiosity bothered him. Her mouth shut and she didnt say anything else. There was no desire inside of her to bother Varnac. She knew his powers and his abilities. Still, her mind could not let go of the fact that he had said he changed her because of her looks as well. Of course, this meant a lot to Lydia. The female had never known love or the company of a man. This bothered her, but she let the feeling slip away as she heard the dead inside.

Lydia was mentally getting ready as they got closer with each step. Would she be okay? Could she survive this? Surely she could. If she wasnt able to...Varnac would help her. Or so she hoped. She felt her fingers twitch but she knew her dagger would have no effect on anything in these dark woods before her. Blood red hues narrowed slightly as she could see things dancing between the trees. She bit her lip to keep herself from asking questions.

Varnac could feel her thinking, stronger then he was used to, he doubted she'd have any trouble in there, if she did he could help. They stepped into the thickly foliage, the shadows covered everything, it would have been impossible to see if it weren't for his eyes, they could see in any darkness, it was a survival trait, he could see the spirits all floating around above them. They wailed and moaned, their rage and agony could be heard through their cries, it was a truly a sound of death, it would drive any man insane, but what really got them was the part when they spoke in your head, spinning a web of lies, and deceit into your mind, it'd break most mens will.

He remembered Lydia saying something about searching for him, had she been sent to assassinate him? Had her eldars really sent her to death? This was troubling, but yet typical of a mortal, although elves could live a very long time, they weren't as strong as vampires, they're immortality was easily severed as if they were a mortal the whole time, so he considered them mortals. Lydia would surely dislike her recently murdered victims spreading their guilt into her soul, their implantations of lies, they'd do anything to make her feel their pain, they'd try spreading it through her soul like a fire.

Lydia could hear them, see them and feel them. She knew that they would guilt her into wanting to cry or worse. She had to keep strong. Her new eyes let her see a few souls, bot not many. At least she could see in the dark. The girl found herself wishing she had never came with Varnac. She wished she had just died back there. She shook her head for she knew it wasnt true.

Varnac had set her free. She was free from all of the bonds of her life before this. Lydia could hear the voices of the elders in her head. She growled slightly and she tried to keep them out. Lydia had to drive them out. She could not allow them to guilt trip her...

Varnac was impressed, it was her first time dealing with the dead, the vengeful dead...the lost ones weren't as bad, they left you alone. She was doing well, it was a good sign, he was using this a sort of test, although she didn't know that, it was good for her, it'd build spiritual strength as well as emotional. When dealing with the dead the only emotion you could feel was...none, they fed off emotions, you had to be a mindless drone, Varnac mastered this over his lifetime, he could throw up a wall to severed his emotions if he chose.

He couldn't help but think about how close they were to achieving their goal, soon the land would be theirs, the chaos supressed, he could began re-populating his race, a whole world of vampires, but he did realize they'd run out of food, they'd have to breed humans, like cattle, have farms of them all over the world, he'd need to start taking many more prisoners if that was going to work, the men of Caldale would make perfect test subjects, they'd be the prototype to his wicked goal.

She felt her fingernails digging into her palms. This was tougher than she figured. Lydia took in a deep breath and she cleared her mind. Maybe if she just stopped fighting them and she let them in, she could ignore them. This seemed to work for her. She could hear the voices, yet she kept walking with an emotionless look on her face.

One voice stood out. It was the Oldest. He was telling her what she had become. Lydia felt her emotionless face break. Her face twisted in pain. She took in another breath and she fought against the voice. She was more powerful than he would have ever been. She would be more powerful than Aris. That would show anyone who doubted her.

"You don't gain anything without sacrifice...you know." Varnac said, he had been listening to her thoughts, a new hobby of his. She needed to know that, something as infinite as power, required a great sacrifice, she'd done quite a bit already, and look at where she is, she had achieved so much, so easily, just by cutting herself from the mortal morales. He was proud of her, she'd been starting to seem more and more like a prodigy, she was definately destined to be by his side, he knew that for sure.

How would he convince his men of her greatness, fear obviously wasn't working, he could read their minds, they hated her, thought she didn't belong, even as a vampire. None thought of killing her, yet, he'd have to keep a watchful eye, and an ever listening mind, he couldn't have her die, his men weren't the strongest, but if a rebellion were formed, well then, Varnac would have no army, he'd kill them before her, he'd just have to prevent any thoughts of treason, she was something like a queen now.

"I've sacrificed everything." Lydia spat. She sighed and looked over at Varnac. "Sorry. This is a bit tougher than I thought" She looked back at the army behind her. They hated her. She could feel it. Lydia ran her fingers through her hair as they continued walking. Going through this forest was something she would have to get use to.

The voice was still in her head. She could hear him telling her she was wrong. He was telling her Varnac was going to use her and then kill her. She fought against the voice. She knew it wasnt true. If anything, Varnac might actually want her to stay with him. She reminded him of his wife. Or would that make him remember painful things? Lydia felt confused, but she began to concentrate again.

He'd been observing Lydia for over an hour, ahead of them shone the moonlight, they were almost out, Varnac pointed ahead as he quickened his pace, they were running out of time, he didn't plan on dying today. He checked behind him to see if Lydia had been following, she was, his army didn't pick up their speed, they didn't have to worry about the sun, only Varnac did, but they still usually came with him, he drowned his suspicion and looked ahead.

Soon he'd be able to rest, and then after the resting, he'd be another step close to achieving his dream, his goal, but he'd have to make sure Lydia survived the forest, he didn't need her being paranoid every step of the way, he needed her to be focused. His armys thoughts had left his mind, he was too far away to hear them now, he wondered what they were up to, if they were going to leave him..he'd hoped not, but it was a possibility. He finally made it out of the woods and saw that the once dark sky grew bluer, and bluer, brighter, and brighter.
