She stood in the center of a banquet room where the tables were joined in a u-shape and she was the star attraction.She was naked, humiliated, and frightened. But she held her head high as one by one the vampires tried to get close to her, to touch her, yet unable to succeed because of Gabriel’s mark. Drachyn thought it great fun to watch them try and fail.The Mage were vile creatures, not worthy of the name vampire. She worked hard to ignore the horror all around her.Human females made up the feast, each vein sucked on until all the blood left the body and the woman died. Rape of course occurred at the same time and she thought she would never forget the screams.She couldn’t believe that her search for the healing amulet had led here, to a Mage hall. The wood and stone structure rose to a tall vaulted ceiling. There were no windows to break up the white plaster walls and the only adornments were a few swords and maces from older times.Though she wasn’t certain why, she could actually feel Gabriel nearby, perhaps only separated by a wall.She tried to determine the hour, but the lack of windows told her nothing.
