Preparation- Part 1

In the cold, quiet mansion, Durik who was being held firmly by the hands of the black witch stared at the bloody trail of blood in front of him. He couldn't breathe well with the bloody murder that had taken place in the mansion not knowing how many more deaths had occurred under the roof he now was in. 

The toad continued to watch and the young vampiress body was being dragged from the hallways to another room. It was the first for Durik to witness something so cold and cruel in his life. The most he had seen was animals being killed but to see something like this, even he wasn't able to let the information sink into his brain. 

It was like everything stood still.
