The walked in darkness for what to them seemed like hours. None of them
spoke but they all wondered where they were going. Kage was leading them,
following the path that he had glimpse of in Kisha's mind but he himself
did not really know what to expect.
He had seen Kisha walk this tunnel before but under different
circumstances, ones he himself didn't wan to probe to deeply in.
"Where does this take us?" Dylan finally broke the silence.
"To another cabin, deeper into the woods."
"Why would it be connected to another cabin?" Victor asked from behind.
"I don't know. I don't even think Kisha's friend knew why."
"Kage, I hope we get there soon because we need to feed." Maya told him all the while looking at Dylan's neck. He caught her looking and shifted away from her. She teasingly smiled and licked her lips.
"Behave, Maya." Victor warned her.
She turned to him; the same flirtatious smile in place. "Victor, are you jealous?"
He cocked his head to the side, as if contemplating her question. "Yes, I'm immensely jealous."
Her smiled faltered. "I was joking."
His smile grew. "In that case so was I."
Kage turned to them. "I hate to ruin this Days-of-our-Vampire-Lives moment you two are having but the door is ahead."
He was right. The door opened with amazingly ease. The shielded their eyes against the sudden brightness. When they focused their heart sank, as there in that cabin's cellar were the robbed-men and the little boy.
"Wait!" Maya told them, stepping in front of the group even against Victor's firm grip. "Let them go. It's me you want."
The leader stepped forward. "Silly, silly girl. We never said we wanted you." His gaze went pass her to someone behind her.
Maya turned to find Kage's eyes wide with horror and denial because the robbed-man was starring at Kisha.
Maya heard the little boy's laughter just before he sent the orange energy at her knocking her out.

She woke in pain. Her muscles hurt and ached all over. Her head strobed against a headache and, as she felt it, against blood. Her eyes barely opened but from what she was able to see, she was in some sort of holding room, chained to the wall by her feet and waist. The arms were chained over their heads with their hands on them.
A moaning to her side had her turning. "You look awful. "Her scorched throat got out.
Victor managed to form a lopsided smile against the dry blood. "You don't look like beauty queen material either."
She laughed only to turn into choking against her own saliva and blood. "Where's Kage." Dylan was on the other side, still unconscious.
"He was with us but he started to act all weird, like he was being tortured and they took him out of here."
"Do you think he was feeling Kisha's pain? They are soulmates."
He moved around in his chains. "Maybe. Would you?"
"Would I what?"
"Feel my pain."
She rested her head back. "Victor, if we were soulmates I would."
He closed his eyes. "You asked me why I acted like I hated and loved you. That's why. You deny it, you always did."
She didn't know what to say. So she too closed her eyes, and remembered.

-Such a funny boy- Maya Kaspar thought as she looked at five-year old Victor Redfern. He sat by himself playing with flowers away from the others. She made her way to him and sat by his side.
Victor looked at her and fell in love with the dark hair, black-eyed, girl. She looked like Snow White. So fair and beautiful and what's more she had come to play with him, since school had started nobody had wanted to play with him.
He shyly smiled and gave her a flower. She took it brushing her hand with his, and in the moment opening her mind to him. She remembered being scared, too many emotions, and too many thoughts. She could feel him in her, consuming her so completely, and so thoroughly.
Maya ran from him

"I had forgotten." She whispered
He opened his eyes and to her surprise tears shone. "But I didn't."
The door opened and the room filled with light.
"Where does this take us?" Dylan finally broke the silence.
"To another cabin, deeper into the woods."
