********************************************

Chapter three:

Magnus was running. He was in the corridor trying to find the way out of this miserable place.

The whole corridor was dark and cold, no matter which direction you're in, you can always hear the screams of people in pain and agony. You could even hear some of them scream 'I don't want to die!' or, 'Someone help us!' But a few got shut up, by a loud crashing and bone cracking sound, that could be heard echoing. Not even a vampire would want to know what had just happened.

He didn't even want to think what they could be doing to their victims, he just wanted to get out, and he wanted out now.

"How big is this place?" The vampire thinking to himself, "It even feels like it was built underground, or something." The next thing he knew, a bright blinding light flashed in his path, Magnus had to put his arm up to cover his eyes. When it had gotten dim, he looked to see another one of those ghostly guards, standing in his way.

"Trying to escape vampire?" The guard said, putting he's frightening voice in a cold tone.

Magnus could feel his body shaking. In his mind he wasn't afraid, but his body felt it was on the edge of collapsing to the ground. He had to pull himself together, and show no fear. After all, he is Kain's champion. It wouldn't be like him to.

"What's it to ya?" Saying bravely, but he knew he wouldn't be able to put it up for long. It's not hard to tell, who scared and who's not. And by how Magnus could see the guard laughing smoothly at him, he could tell that he already knew, what he was feeling.

"My, my, trying to be brave are we? Don't make me laugh! I know you're afraid!"

"Would a scared vampire do this?" Magnus jumped at the guard, trying to slice him with his hand. But the guard just vanished then reappeared, with Magnus landing face down on the floor.

"Only a fool would do that, fools like you that is"

Magnus was picking himself up from the floor, until the guard just came up to him from behind, and banged his weapon right into the back of the knee of the vampire's right leg. This cause Magnus to scream in pain, it had gone straight trough, into the brick floor. He could not move, it was stuck tight the throbbing of pain was going round his nerves. And his blood was linking out of him; it was running down his leg. Magnus felt his leg go completely numb, and his body getting chills. He was trapped.

"I am no fool," Magnus said with his eyes screwed tight shut, gritting his teeth trying to hold the pain. "I am Kain's CHAMPION!!!!"

"Was his champion, but now your just another vampire."

Magnus opened his eyes; he could recognize that voice, it belonged to the one who brought him here. Out from the shadows was the Sarafan Lord, behind him were three vampires, and they weren't any other vampires, they were Sebastian, Marcus and Faustus.

"You! What the." Was all Magnus could say realising the three vampires were behind the Sarafan Lord with evil smirks on their faces.

"Surprising, isn't it?" Holding back his laughter, the Sarafan Lord continued, "After the battle, I decided to spear them; if they would join me, and help the Sarafan. It wasn't that difficult, due to the fact that they were the few vampires that were left standing, it was either kill them or spear them.on one condition-"

"On one condition that they would become traitors to there own kind! Kain would never let this happen." Magnus said butting in. "He will have your head for this!" Saying in a hissing tone.

"On the contrary Magnus, he can't when one has defeated him.in battle."

"What?"

"You heard me, I the Sarafan Lord, has defeated the vampire, known as the one and only.Kain"

Magnus was in shock; there was a glazed in his eyes, from not only from what he had been told, but from also some fresh pain coming from his leg. It was all becoming too much.

First leaving the campsite to fight the Lord, to only end up in the prison, getting stab in the leg, disabling his ability to run, finding out Kain's three loyal vampires turning against there own kind, and now, being told that his master was now dead.

"Bu.but how? He had the Soul Reaver, he was invincible."

"That's untrue actually, you see I've found a way to pass it. Ever heard of the nexus stone?"

"The.nexus stone?"

The Sarafan Lord takes the green shiny pendent that was on his chest off, and holds it out for Magnus to see. "This is the nexus stone. Out of anything, this is the only thing that can protect you from the Soul Reaver. Kain didn't even know why the Reaver wasn't working on me, he didn't even know what this green gem was or good do." With the light reflecting off from the stone, The Sarafan Lord held it up high. Blinding Magnus, causing his eyes to burn. The vampire put the back of his arm over his eyes, but all it just did was singe the front. When the Lord put the stone back onto his chest, Magnus looked at the damage on his arm. He could see a black burnt mark cover half of his flesh, no matter where he looked, he could see spots popping up everywhere. And what also didn't help was his body was trying to heal round the guard's weapon, which was still stuck in his leg. "It's time to choose Magnus."

Magnus was very confused about this new information, "Choose? About what?"

"Whether you would want to die or, join me, like your other three companions did."

Magnus looked at them one by one. So did Faustus, Marcus and Sebastian, all looked at Magnus, with evil smirks on their faces. There was no escape.

"So. what's it gonna be?"
