I followed Jean to the door. He opened and gestured for me to go in first. I entered it was pitch black. The door closed and I felt Jean brush past me. Suddenly someone grabbed me. I wriggled to get out of their grip but they wouldn't let go.
I freed an arm and slamned my fist as hard as I could into the person holding me. It sent them flying across the room. The lights turned on and I heard applause. I looked around and saw Jean sitting next to who had to be Iasaes. Then I saw him in the corner, the one who had grabbed me. His face looked horrible. I realized I had done it and flew across the room.
"I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed.
"It's ok." he said. "I knew you would get me off you I just didn't realize you would be so powerfully damaging." he said wincing at the pain.
"I'm sorry.... What is your name?"
"Krytys." he replied.
"Krytys! Oh no! Are you sure you are ok? I'm so sorry!!! Oh no... I'm so sorry." I blurted out.
"It's ok" came Iasaes's voice. "We wanted to test you. Krytys knew he would get hurt. He did it for Jean and you." he said.
"Oh..." I said. I turned back to Krytys. "Are you sure you are ok?" I asked worried that his face still looked pretty bad even though it was half healed already.
"Yes Lamia! Calm yourself!" Krytys said exasperated.
"Well, there is only an hour 'till dawn darling, do you went to start heading for the chamber Iasaes prepared for us." Jean asked coming over to calm me down.
"How long are we staying?"
"Why? Eager to leave?" Jean asked back.
"No I... It's just...."
"We'll probably be here a week. Training you to make you a strong vampire so you can, if need be, live on your own. Come let's retire to our coffin." Jean said as he dragged me with him behind Iasaes as they headed towards the hallway to the bedrooms.
I was confused. train me to be on my own? why would i ever be alone?
