Chapter 1


Part I

John was still standing in his room, as Quinn was knocking at his door the for several times.
„John, man, we are getting late“, he called and begann to knock again.
John took a deep breath. What was wrong with him today? He was asleep at the wheel and was preoccupied. His thought were in some other place than they should normally be. The training would start in some moments but because of some reasons he did not feel to be able to concentrate.
„John!“
Nerved of the constans knocking he opened the door and le his friend in.
„Come on. We are late.“
‚We will nontheless‘, John thought and left his room.They went silenty to the tunnel and the hall. It was a wonder that they were in time, even when Zsadist was standing in the middle of the hall and was ready to drill them – just like every night.
When he noticed John he called him to come to him.
„You’re alright, John? You look tired?“, he asked and examined the young vampire.
John nodded. „Yes, had a hard night“, he signed and turned back to the others.
‚Nevertheless there is something wrong with him‘, Zsadist thought and begann the training.


When Mysterie opened her eyes she did not know where she was.
‚What happens? Where am I?‘, she asked herself and tried to sit up. She had no power and did not make it to firm up and hold herself on her arms. She laid down and looked around. She was in some kind of hall. Mysterie laid on the cold floor and when she turned her head to see more, she noticed a man who knelt beside her.
„Finally awake?“
„Where am I?“, she asked in a thin voice and tried to sit up again. She was so depleted that even breathing was exhausting for her.
„No interest for you. But you should be interested in your sisters case.“
‚Oh no‘, she thought and looked up in his cold face, ‚Hope‘.
„Where is she?“
„In the room next-door“, he said and threw one short look to one door.
The power suddenly returned in Mysterie and she got up. She ran on shaky legs toward the door.
„Oh no“, the man called behind her and seized her fast by the arm. He turned her toward himself pushed her back. „She is still sleeping, my love.“
What was that for a smell? Baby-Powder?But he did not look like a Lesser. But nevertheless he smelled like one of them.
„Who are you?“ she asked in a shivery voice. She looked deep into his eyes. Lesser did not have pigments, they were pale like the death himself and also their eyes were white. Not his. His hair was blond, too. Why in all heaven did he smell like Baby-Powder but nevertheless was a vampire?
Mysterie herself was right before she hits her transition. And so did Hope.
„Unimportant“, he answered and let her sink to the floor again. Mysterie passed out before she hit the ground.


He hunked over Mysterie and picked her up. She would understand what he wanted her to do when he had her, where he wanted her. The sun was already down and so he could carry her outside without any problems. She would be definitely asleep for some hours and till then he would be disappeared. Then he would draw all his attention to her sister.
He laid her down on the ground and knelt beside her. There was only one thing he had to do. He opened her pants and tore them down to her ankles.
How would she look like after her transition, when she was a wonderful woman right at that moment? He pushed the thought aside and came up to her bare legs. He felt his teeth elongate. It was just a little bite and only some of her blood and he knew she was about to hit her transition. The time in-between was so short that it would begin in some hours. He adjusted her clothes and got up.
How adequant, he thought and leaned down to her on last time.
„Call John Matthew if you want to rescue your sister.“ Then he stood up and left her alone.
