The Vampire's Tribute
Foolish, treacherous abandoned should know its place.
My rage burned hot as a sheen came over my vision. One moment, the abandoned vampire looked up at me in shock, then he screamed, then he was nothing but ash scattering among the brush and the tree roots.
I dashed forward and caught Rose as she fell. She had totally fainted.
Hoisting her up into my arms, I turned back toward the back exit to the castle and returned us home. As we entered through the wall again, I glanced around, confused about how my pet even knew about this place.
