Katya was once a young girl who was now in the form of a vampire. So whatever thoughts that she harboured may or may not be important. She wanted to ask Darius what he thought, but not until he regained full strength, but in Katya’s young mind, she believed that Mariana still wanted Juliana to return; not to fight her, but to join with her once again. Katya was not sure if it would be a good thing if Juliana came back and made her peace with Mariana. What use would she be to her then?

She decided that the curtains really were in need of replacing, so she elected to leave the castle and go to the town where she could obtain some fabrics. She wondered why Mariana had let the once grand castle go to ruin. Perhaps a vampire really could be depressed. She had even said to Katya that people only die when those you love stop caring about you. That’s when the blood stops pumping around the body.

In Katya’s mind, Mariana might be a powerful vampire but history would record her as a somewhat tragic figure. Perhaps Juliana’s betrayal had affected her more than she would ever let on. For this reason alone, Katya decided her fate lay with Darius rather than Mariana, but once he was fully recovered, would he turn on her too? He had certainly indicated that loyalty was something he kept for himself.

She did not want to think about that. She would have to wait a few hours before the sun lessened its grip on the town. Why was it that on the rare occasions she would leave Darius alone, when she really needed to leave the castle, that the sun had decided to shine its harmful rays on the town all day? She cursed the sun as a vampire as much as Juliana used to curse the rain and the storms. For Katya, storms represented some kind of magic was happening in the sky. For Juliana, it was a bitter reminder of the very day Mariana had snatched her from the children’s home. This would appear to be an innocuous difference between the two vampires, but such differences tended to manifest themselves in ways that Katya and Juliana would be unable to predict.

She prepared some food for Darius. It was a human custom, and one that she had been better at performing in her human existence than her older sibling Isobel had been. It was an average attempt at preparing an Irish stew; there was nothing really complex about it. The meat she had put into it had been bloody. She hoped Darius would not ask her to provide some blood of her own. She did not like to refuse him, but she needed all the energy and wits around her as she planned to go into the town.

Darius was sleeping on his side. That was better for him. He also rested in the bed. There had been no coffin prepared for him.
