A plan

Annette was glad one of the other servants came to take Melany home, she was now following Vlad like a moth to a flame, partially stupefied at the fact that she's now a vampire, partially because she felt a will in her, compelling her to follow.

They went down into the dungeon where the young man was shackled to a wall, Vlad wove his hand and his helpers left, now alone, Vlad didn't tell Annette to leave.

"Wake up" he said calmly and patted Hector on his cheek "I said awaken!" Vlad yelled as his hand delivered a harder strike.

Hector woke but coughed, his larynx damaged from the choke and he couldn't heal up like vampires and werewolves, he glared at Vlad, only giving Annette a glance.

"Where is she?" The question came again.

"You know, what I'll tell you" Hector replied with a hoarse voice.

"Make no mistake, I do not wish to kill her, neither will I kill you, but if you don't tell me I'll reconsider my decision to spare you"

"Never!"
