Vampires, a Lot of Vampires.

They all looked at You, most confused and bewildered, some malicious, but all curious. You were wrong, there must have been a hundred or so of them, all sat in chairs in a large circle around the massive hall, all pale, all bright-eyed and white-toothed. Almost immediately You saw Corvus sat at the head of the crowd, upon a platform above them, still dressed in his fancy suit, all of the ones from earlier where here also, sat just below him on a lower platform, They all just stared for a second before Huginn, sat on Corvus' left stood from his seat "Is that...?" he started, a look of complete fascination on his face.

He appeared before You, rushing with immense speed to face You with a smile "It is, but that's impossible..." He looked You up and down, circling You like a vulture "What is the meaning of this, Who is this?"

The Man who spoke was not one that You recognized from the Chamber, he had been speaking earlier. He was a Young man with snow-white skin and Black hair, cut into an extensively edgy Mohawk, Huginn looked to him and to Corvus "This is fucking Charles Drake, speak of the blood devil!" He seemed happy, overly happy, laughing as He looked at You "That is Impossible, How did he get out of the Chamber!?" spoke the Black-haired Girl "Forgot the Bloody chamber, It's only been Forty-Two Hours, His change shouldn't have finished yet!?"

The Vampires around You began to speak in hushed whispers, mumbling curiously before being cut off by Corvus raising a hand, "Hush now." he spoke softly, "Mr. Drake, if You could step forward for me, very slowly." You did as You were told, though You were still scanning the room, She was here, You heard her, she was definitely here.

You walked over 'slowly' Your slow walk being the speed of a jog, Corvus and rest all watched You carefully, like a live explosive or something "Stop there. Don't move and remain completely calm can You do that for Me?" You nodded a little confused, You weren't gonna hurt any of them, who says that You even could there were a hundred of them and one of You, "I heard her." You confessed, "I heard Valerica, I know She is here." Corvus paused, "Listen to me, You are not stable, How about You step outside with Huginn and we can..."

She appeared, the Woman, She was there, a Woman just shorter than You, Red-haired, Ocean blue eyes, and pale freckled skin, She looked so similar to Her, same Red lips, Amazing beauty, though she had this cold look on her face as she stepped out to meet You. This was not Valerica, but even so, You found Yourself bearing Your teeth, Your eyes widening, Your bloodstained cheeks stiffening as You screeched at Her.

Your body moved almost on its own, flying towards her and grabbing at her, She did not fight back, allowing You to grasp at her top and pin her against the stands, Her face unmoving, her body completely relaxed. You screeched again at her as You began to sniff at her, looking deeply into her eyes.

A dozen of them were surrounding You, Corvus and the rest included, They were close indeed but seemed to be keeping their distance from You, "Charles..." Corvus spoke closely as You snarled in the red-haired woman's face "Charles listen to me, that is not Her and this is not You, this is the Curse, You cannot let it control You." He was firm but reassuring in his words, You were listening, it was just so goddamn hard, You couldn't let her go, why couldn't You let her go?

"Trust me, man, You're gonna want to let her go," said Huginn. She didn't even look scared, she looked a little curious but other than that, nothing, She just stared at You patiently.

She looked Young, about Your age, even so, there was something behind those eyes, something that said: "If You don't quit it I'm going to Kill You." and with that one look Your grip softened and with shaking hands, You let her go "I'm-I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..." You said to her backing off, just like that.

"Good, very good." Said Corvus, approaching You slowly "Huginn take him to my office, I want You all to meet me there in Ten minutes understood?" the people that had been in the Chamber all nodded before speeding away, strange, it looked like they disappeared before, but they were just moving, insanely fast sure, but You could see it now "The rest of You may leave." And just like that, the Hall was empty.

Huginn was smiling still and the woman who looked like Valerica continued to stare at You "Good golly gosh damn, this is some freaky shit." He said gesturing for You to Follow him which You did, though not before looking again at the Red-Haired girl, her eyes Blue and Her expression unchanging.

You followed Corvus and Huginn through the Halls, You were silent mostly, up until You felt pain in Your abdomen "Agh." You grunted, stopping in Your tracks, Huginn caught You, looking up to the old man "Sir?" he asked looking curiously to Corvus, the Old man nodded "Come, We should get him something to drink."

The two took one of Your arms and rushed You across the building, up some more stairs for a while until You reached the very top, Corvus led You to a room which he unlocked with a black key and they ushered You in.

The room was medium-sized, well lit and well decorated, it had several paintings on the walls, many of Corvus himself, though seemingly at different periods in time, He had a sitting area, a large finely made desk, and comfortable looking chair behind it, several large filing cabinets.

Huginn set You down in a chair, You were hungry, very hungry "This ought to be interesting. Are You sure You want to do this here, Master?" He asked, watching as the old man moved over to a large Vault door silently, similar to the one in Chamber, and typed in code letting himself inside for a second before exiting swiftly.

Corvus came over to You, sitting next to You with a bag in his hand. The Old man lifted the back to You, extending one of his sharp nails and pricking the top of the bag with it "O negative, only a day old." he stated calmly "I'm going to give this too You and I want You to drink it as slowly as You can, understand?" This was it, that was blood, You could smell it, that perfect scent, that was it "Yes, I understand"

You took the bag and looked at it, it was cold. You tipped the bag up awkwardly and began to sip from it, tasting from it furtively at first, though as the crimson liquid touched Your tongue, You began to suck at it eagerly "Slowly." Corvus reminded You, You managed to slow down a bit, a bit, it tasted so good, like a full-bodied wine, like hot chocolate and Your favorite soda, like coffee, tea, it was the best thing that You had ever consumed and before You knew it, the bag was empty.

"This guy is something else, An entire pint in like thirty seconds, You have to admit, I think she was right." Huginn spoke, "Will You calm down." Corvus chastised Huginn, making the Young man hush himself immediately.

"You doubtless have questions, The others will arrive in a moment, then You can ask away, deal?" He was so friendly, all of them seemed so Human, it wasn't what You expected "Deal."

Just like he said the others arrived, save for the Woman that You attacked, that was probably for the best.

"Well then Mr. Drake, Ask away" They all seemed interested in You, curious about You. the first question was obvious "Um, Who are You people?" The Old Man smiled deeply at the question, standing to join the others who stood before

"We, Charles Drake, are the Gerix Clan."
