Tahira's heart was racing as she stared at Lyra in horror. What was happening to her? Why was she speaking in that voice?

Ariana grabbed Tahira's arm, her eyes wide with fear. "What's going on?" she whispered. "What's happening to Lyra?"

Tahira shook her head, unsure of what to say. She had no idea what was going on, but she knew they had to get out of there, fast.

But as they turned to run, Lyra's voice stopped them. "You can't leave," she said, her voice still not her own. "The master has been waiting for you, Tahira. And now that you're here, you'll never leave."

Tahira's blood ran cold as she realized who Lyra was talking about. The Vampire Lord. He was the master Lyra was talking about.

Suddenly, the tunnel was filled with the sound of footsteps, echoing off the walls. The Vampire Lord's men were coming for them.
