Her voice is how he remembers it, and it affects him exactly like it had a century ago. Her soft whisper of disbelief worming its way through the guard of his mind, and his insides trembled.

"Are you calm now?" He asks through another breathless growl. "Can I let you go?"

Her eyes grow glassy and she opens her mouth to speak, but no words come out. The female vampire nods instead.

Ethan gives her a long look. "I won't hesitate to slit your throat." He threatens before removing his vice grip from her arms.

Sarah slowly sits up, she openly gawking at him. "How…?" Her eyes leave him briefly to look around the infirmary. Her nose twitches and body stiffens. "Yo- You're a wolf beast?" Her eyes widen and he can smell her fear. "How…"

Ethan clenches his jaw; her smell is making him angry. He gets on his feet very stiffly and puts a greater distance between them.

"I thought you were… I thought you would be…" She looked so confused.

That's right, he remembered. Sarah was off looking for Jesse when the war began and he had been bitten by a wolf beast elder. Over a century ago, seeing him was likely a very big shock.

"Tell me the location of Jesse." He ordered gruffly mostly because he has nothing else to say, and he's suddenly nervous.

She frowns, "I…" She begins to rise to her feet but his growling at her makes her freeze. When she lowers back to the ground he quiets his growls.

"Answer me,"

"Ethan…" Sarah whispers softly. He blankly stares at her. "I… I don't… I'm not really sure. I don't remember."

Ethan sighs, he's unsure if she's lying, but he can feel someone heading towards the room. "Stay down," he orders and move towards the room's door opening it as Taliah appears.

Her eyes dart behind him to Sarah, who like told, was still sitting on the ground. Her body shakes, but a warning growl stops her. "Elders have gotten word of the vampire's presence and wishes to see you and it."

Ethan nods. "Thank you," he tells her politely and looks at her blankly until she leaves.

He turns back to look towards Sarah with a passive look. "Follow me," he orders lightly.

Sarah's confused, and it completely shows, but eventually she gets to her feet. Ethan turns stiffly and exits out of the room. Noticing the vampire trailing behind him, he comes to a stop and turns halfway to face her.

"Sarah," The young man speaks her name for the first time out loud. "You should keep up. I can't really promise you protection if you are not close to me."

The girl nods, and rubs her bare arm lightly. She quickly walks to catch up to him and walks behind him fairly closely. So closely he can smell her, overwhelmingly so.

As they walk, Sarah notices there are countless wolf beasts throughout the home, and they all glower at her. She can feel there hatred, and hunger for her. Sarah is confused, completely befuddled. This man was obviously Ethan but for years she thought Ethan was dead. She had returned to Whitechapel in the mist of the war, her sole reason was for Ethan. She had returned to late. Whitechapel was gone, and was plagued by blood hungry vampires. She was sure that Ethan had simply been one of the many victims of a senseless war. It had been hard to swallow a century ago, and it followed her throughout the years.

Now, here he was, alive and a century later as a sworn enemy of hers. When she had realized it was truly him, she had wanted to hug him and not let go. It had been so long since the young vampire had seen anyone worth caring about. All her friends and family had died years ago, she had no one.

There was Erica and Rory, but they both had decided to become one of Jesse's lackeys early on. It was easy when it was, be in the vampire army, if not be captured by the human army. They had no other choices really, but the endless power had gone to their heads quickly. They embraced their nature - is how Jesse called it.

Sarah was yet to embrace her nature. That's why she more of a prisoner then an actual part of the vampire army.

They enter into a darkened room through large carved doors. Inside the room a half circle table with seven cloaked figures. Sarah instantly falls to the floor a few feet inside the room, all her energy zapped from her body.

A warm hand wraps around her forearm, and firmly pulls her to her feet. Ethan's hand on her arm actually brings her comfort and makes facing the wolf beast elders less completely horrifying. He had said something earlier about making sure to protect her.

They stand in front of the council, all their faces hidden in the black shadows of the room. Her night vision isn't working for some reason. She moves closer to Ethan subconsciously.

"Ethan…" It's hard to tell which one had spoken, but it was a feminine voice. "Tell us why this creature is here." Disgust was obvious and not hidden.

"She can help find the location of the vampire lord." Ethan responds smoothly. "Also, can't you smell? There is something wrong with her scent."

There's a shift in the air. "Indeed there is… Though how will she help us find the vampire lord. She is aware and is willing to give up his location?"

Ethan looks at her and she looks back at him, swooning a little. He raises an eyebrow ever so slightly.

"I…" She begins and frowns. She has no idea the location of the vampire lord; she was always kept locked away inside. They never told her anything, for good reason. "I have no idea."

"She lies," a male voice growls "How could she not?"

"Maybe torturing her will work?" Another voice chimes. Her stomach lurches.

"She's not lying," Ethan speaks out quickly, maybe too quickly. He can feel their eyes on him.

"How are you so sure?" suspicion.

Ethan looks towards Sarah, who looks back. "I'm not very sure."

"Then what good is that?" The woman voice asks wistfully. "Ethan, if she has no idea the location of the lord of vampires, she is no use to us. Termination i-"

"Trust me." Ethan quickly interrupts. "She is our key to finding the Lord of Vampires."

"Trust you…?" The male's voice cackles. "Fine, the vale blood sucker we cannot."

"I can control her." Ethan speaks up confidently.
