Faith shivered in the cold of the room. It must have been at least an hour since she woke up here, and lord only knows how long she was asleep in the first place. There were no windows that she could see, and no clocks in this little fancy pop-up room to tell her how long she had been here. Her stomach was growling every so often and she was pretty sure that Conti heard it, but he gave no indication that he cared.

Her friends had to have realized she was missing by now. Aldric would have tried to find her when he got home, even if he was just going to go right to bed. He had gotten into the habit of checking in with her when he came in from his patrols, and any other time he headed out. She had thought of it as a sweet habit, but now it might save her life.

Assuming they could track her down.

"If I starve to death it won't help you much, will it?" she said after a particularly loud protest from her stomach. She should have eaten something for breakfast before she let Frankie kidnap her.

She hoped that Aldric and the rest had figured out that Frankie was a traitorous asshole already.

"That is true. But you slept through the human feeding for the day." Conti shrugged. "Although I suppose that is a bit of a generous statement as it is only you and the one other at the moment. Still, those Goldfangs in the kitchen have more important people to worry about feeding than you."

Oh, she couldn't wait to punch this guy in the face. Or straight through the ribcage with an invisible spike.

"Now listen here, you pathetic excuse for a b-movie villain–"

"Sandy!" a new voice rang out, interrupting her snarling protest. "Sandy, have you had lunch yet? I think it is lunchtime."

The man that hurried into the light now was thin, but still handsome. Dark hair with a hint of a wave in it fell boyishly over his forehead and soft brown eyes almost sparkled with his good mood. Unlike the creepy, slightly crazy smile Conti occasionally flashed at her, the newcomer wore a charming smile and aimed it at Faith. Reyher Cherro was much more handsome than in the photo Leo had found.

Faith was in a lot of trouble.

"Oh, and who is our guest? You should have told me we had a visitor."

Before Conti could answer, the newcomer stepped over to Faith, bowed slightly, and extended a hand. "I am Reyher Cherro. A pleasure to make the acquaintance of such a lovely lady."

"Lord Cherro, this is the Magaestra I told you about, remember?" Conti's voice softened and took on a tone that niggled the back of Faith's memory.

"Ah!" Cherro's delight nearly sparkled from him.

Faith had to bite back a smirk at the thought of a sparkly vampire. Still, the word fit. Cherro was almost gleeful.

"It has been so long since I last tasted mage blood! Magaestra, hold still!"
