“Does she have it?”

“Of course. Do you think I’d be spending so much time in that filthy cage if she did not?”

Tun leaned back on his stone throne and looked at the others seated at the granite slab. Torches hung from the walls, held by iron plates left over from the mining boom of the nineteenth century. The light flickered on the faces of the Council, Voldare’s closest and most trusted Bloodline warriors.

“Does she know its power?”

“Somewhat,” said Voldare. “She understands it brought her here, but she does not understand how.”

“Does she know the history, the significance of the Locket of Lir?”

“No. I don’t believe she does.”

Tun nodded and the other eight vampires spread out on each side of Voldare did the same. Dripping water landed in a puddle in a far off, unseen tunnel deep in the earth. The sound of it resonated in the chamber like a ticking bomb.

“Are you certain she is not Silven’s plant? She appears fresh, unspoiled.”

“I understand your concern, lieutenant. And based on her physical appearance, you’re correct. She is newly turned and only beginning to understand the vampiric metamorphosis we all experienced so long ago. But I do not believe she is in league with Silven. Vampires in this rotten world, they all have a certain tarnish, regardless of the exterior they project. She does not have that.”

Tun straightened up and looked at his taloned hands before speaking again.

“Is it possible you are charmed by her, maybe not seeing all there is to see?”

Voldare leapt from the chair and grabbed the first lieutenant by the neck. He spun and pinned the vampire against the cold, rock wall of the cave. The lieutenant’s feet dangled a foot from the ground.

“Are you questioning my judgment?” Voldare asked.

Tun gasped, but could not speak with Voldare’s fist clenched around his throat. Instead, he shook his head as much as he could within Voldare’s grip.
