There was a stir amongst the spirits that circled endlessly around the ceiling in Lillianna?s apartment, something was wrong. Demons began to gather, adding the red and yellow glow of their eyes to the blackness of the other watchers.
The blood slaves huddled together in a corner, not knowing what was happening and without their mistress to calm them they were scared of the creatures that were moving about in an agitated state.
The door was flung open, making all in the room jump, there stood MaryRead holding the unconscious body of Lillianna, who was covered in blood, though it did not seem to be her own. The demons swarmed down around her, watching, they had never seen their mistress hurt before, but they felt no malice from Mary just concern, they kept their distance as she moved through the room to the bathing area where the pool still held the heated blood from her bath earlier that day.
Mary knelt down on the edge of the pool and carefully lowered Lillianna?s body in releasing it once it was completely covered by the crimson liquid. The watchers all converged on the area. One demon, larger than the others, began to chant in a long forgotten language, others picked it up and the chant grew in power, the blood began to glow slightly for a moment before fading back to what it had been before.
Then nothing? silence? waiting?
