The Instant before hand:

As Zephon and Zoë made their journey away from the village. In a tower looking out of the window watching Zephon and Zoë walking away from a distance, was none other than the Sarafan commander.

Sarafan. Commander: *Thinking* So, my daughter did find a way. Like what she said before hand.

~Flashback~

The Sarafan commander is sitting at his desk going through some reports until Zoë came in with his meal.

Zoë: *Holding the plate* I've brought you your meal father.

Sarafan commander: *Looking up speciously* You're early tonight daughter.

Zoë: I thought you would want it now, so you don't need to worry about it later. *Pouring him some beer into his mug*

Sarafan commander: *Watching her does it* Is there something you're hiding from me, or are you trying to make an impression?

Zoë: *Quiet for a bit* No nothing like that, I just thought you would want it now instead of later.

Sarafan commander: *Stands up* You're up to something aren't you!

Zoë: *The sound of her father's chair thrown on the floor when he got up made her jump and started to walk backwards with the jug in her hands*

Sarafan commander: *Walking towards her till he had her in a corner* Come on! What are you up to!

Zoë: *Shaking* I told you nothing!

Sarafan commander: DON'T LIE TO ME WENCH FOR A DAUGHTER!!! *Smacks Zoë at the back of her head*

Zoë: *Crying while begging for mercy*

*You could see what he was doing to Zoë by their shadows on the wall*

Sarafan commander: *Gets out his dagger and just scrapes the sharp end on Zoë's arm*

Zoë: *Screams from the pain with blood dribbling out from where he cut her with his dagger*

Sarafan commander: *Puts his dagger away and walks back to his desk* Now get out of my site!

Zoë: *Gets up holding her onto arm where he had cut her and made a run for the door, but before she went out, she turned around to her father and bravely said* You know, you can't keep me in this village forever. I will find a way to get out. And be far away from this place for good. *Leaves*

Sarafan commander: Humph... *Thinking* What can you do sweetie? Get a vampire? *Giggles* Yeah a vampire, only to want to eat you! It's not like one will fall in love and would selfishly want to keep you for them selves!

~Back to present~

Sarafan commander: *Thinking still looking out the window* But it looks like this vampire will end up wanting to do that eventually.

*Just then a Sarafan was at the door*

Sarafan. Mark: Sir the lord of the Zephonim clan was in the village with none of his fledglings for some reason. He mange to escape and took your daughter with him-

Sarafan commander: *Interrupts him* I know, I saw them out there.

Sarafan. Mark: What should I tell the troops?

Sarafan commander: *A short pause and then took out his sword* Tell them to get into training. And make sure that in a week... *Eyes in the light while the rest of his face in shadow* There ready.
