Cedric pulls her into his embrace and holds her. "We are almost done here and then we will go back to our vacation. You are crying tears of blood. It is not unusual but you need to calm down my love."

"I-I'm trying but it is not easy." Yuki rests her head on his shirt. "How are you not covered in blood?"

"That is because I used my element to kill like you did with your vines but I do not add strain to my guardian. She probably doesn't even know that I am using my powers. I had a lot of years without, so I do not need to think about the essence." Cedric held her close. "Let's do the rest together." He waits to see what she will say.

Yuki steps back, she points down the hallway. "We will go this way. I will try my best to calm down. It is just sad to see my people break to this point because of a cult. We have not gotten to the cult leaders at least not yet." She looks up and can tell where they were hiding.

Cedric looked at the camera and set it on fire. "Come let us save the people here from their suffering and then we will get the ones that are to blame for all this." He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her towards the lower dungeon.

A guard jumped out and went to attack Yuki. He froze in fear once he saw her face

Yuki looked at the guard and grabbed onto his neck. "What is beyond this area?"

The guard gulped and started to stutter. "Iiit's th-the du-dungeon."

Yuki dropped the guy and went into the hallway and left the guy for Cedric to deal with. She looked down and saw the cells. She walked to the first door and was greeted with the pungent smell of death and decay. She closed the door and went to the next.

Cedric looked at the guard and smirked. "How do I get to the cult leaders?"

The guard held up a key and pointed to the wall. "Th-there is a path that goes up."

"Thanks." Cedric took the key and went to Yuki and the guard fell to the ground scared. "Oh, you will not be spared but I need you alive so stay put." He used his magic spell to bind him to that spot.

Yuki stopped opening the doors that did not have a heart beating behind them and finally found a heartbeat behind the doorway. She opened the door slowly and she looked in the room and saw a pair of golden eyes glowing. "Mmmmmm, a wolf. You want freedom?"

The girl leaned against the wall-bound by silver chains and looked up at the girl standing at the door. "I want my revenge."

"Will you join me to gain what you want?" Yuki's eyes glowed red in the darkness as she stepped closer.

"I will do anything for the revenge that I desire. I will join you, vampire." The girl looked in the dark and could make out what she looked like.

Yuki stepped out in front of her and giggled, "excellent, you will make a perfect addition to my collection." She reached her hand out and the chains all fell off. "What is your name?"

"My name is Lyla. I am now clanless and none that are here shall survive." She stood up and rubbed her wrists. She stretched and she stepped in front of Yuki.

Yuki looked at the girl before reaching her hand out and touching her shoulder. "Lyla welcome to the knighthood. I will formally invite you once we get back." She skips to the next room and opens the door and the human that is there jumps at Yuki.

Lyla jumps in front of Yuki and kills the human by crushing his throat. "No one touches my mistress."

Cedric walked behind Yuki and gave her a hug. "You seem to like keeping fierce pets."

"Mmmmmm, the fierce ones are more fun." Yuki leaned into Cedric as she watched Lyla kill the human. "Very good. I know that you will have my back." Yuki skipped away from Cedric and went to the next door. She opened it up and grabbed the doctor that was in the room and pinned him to the wall. "What are you doing here?"

"That should be my question. This is a restricted area." He struggles and tries to get free.

There was a loud static sound and then a deep male voice sounded on the speaker. "Greetings your majesty. It is nice to see that you are alive and well. I know for a fact that I am glad to see you again. I wanted to have a taste of your blood again. Come to me when you are done dealing with the peasants." There was a click and the speaker system went silent.

Cedric stared at the cameras and slowly broke each and every single one. He was so mad that he no longer cared. "Yuki, I am going to kill the rest here and then we will go and see this asshole."

Lyla looked at the guy Yuki was holding and waited.

"Please, I am no longer interested in playing with them." She took the doctor and tossed him to Lyla. "You can do whatever you want with this one." She stepped deeper into the room and saw that there was a lot of machinery hooked up to the being on the bed. She looked him in the eyes and saw him staring at her.

"Please, I do not want to live like this anymore. I will never be able to live a normal life again so please end my suffering." He lifted his hand weakly and there were tears running down his cheeks.
