Ralph looked into the mirror at the hollow eyed reflection blinking back at him. It has been over a week since her disappearence, it felt like years.

He couldnt even imagine what she could possibly be going through as he selfishly looked at himself in a mirror thinking about the black bags under his sleep deprived eyes. He then stretched and walked into the breakfast nook in the west wing of the large mansion.

Ever since the disturbing accurance in the woods Ralph von Heinchek spent every second of everyday mulling over his next move to find Sophia. But a week came and past with no inkling of how to go about this. Perhaps he should raid the castle and take her in his arms and defeat the villians like some storybook prince. But doing that would take the help of lots of other men, there was no way he could storm the castle alone and save Sophia, he would surely get them both killed in the process.

So what to do? He would have to find men.

How would he go about doing that? He contemplated pushing his eggs around his plate, he had no appitite of late. Where could he go about getting a bunch of ready-at-arms men to fight for him. It wasnt hard to see he wasnt exactly a great leader amoung men, and raiseing a small fighting force, task that would seem simple, posed many problems.

Who would go with him, and where could he find them? He could always buy off the locals. But money didnt really hit home with these people and he didnt think they would risk their life for a few gold coins. He had to hit home, and make them feel like they needed to band with him to save themselves and their families, saveing Sophia would be the real reason, but he didnt have to tell them that.

Then there it was it seems, he thought going up to his room to grab a few assentails before makeing his way to his carriage outside.

Upon going outside he hung a left and went to the stable, had the boy there ready a personal carriage, that he would drive himself, now and always, and then made his way towards town.

Ralph walked into the musty smelling main room of the towns only inn and bar. He saw a very pretty young girl serving drinks to full tables of local workers and merchants. All of them for the most part seemed like ideal fighters and he decided that now would be a good time to speak then ever.

He went up to the bar counter and tapped on the surface of it. The bartender gave him the up and down and grunted to show that Ralph had his attention and nothing more.

"Good afternoon sir, I was wondering if as the owner of the bar could you please call the attention of these gentalmen to me?" Ralph twisted a hanky out of plain sight to calm his nerves.

"No problem.." the man grunted, hardly auidble. "Hey all you slobs, the dandy needs to tell you somthing, so put down your drinks and lend an ear!"

Ralph felt the color drain from his face as he cast his gaze over the agitated looking men.

"Hello gentlemen, my name is Ralph von Heinchek, I have come here in search of my future wife of late, but I fear that I will find her in no Inn." He took a step forward gaining confidence as people began to look interested. "You see, I have been told by reliable sources that she was taken by demons of the night, on the thirteenth. This worries me, and by your faces I can see this worries you also. The evils that plauge are village have been liveing off of our loved ones for to long!"

"Here here!" one of the patrons yelled, a few grunted their agreement.

"Then I say kill the beasts! We should kill these night crawlers like they do us! We all must avenge our friends and families, and protect them in the future! Are you with me?" Ralph yelled now excited by the morality.

"Ya!" They called out to him.

"Then we all must meet at my mansion in a weeks time, we will speak of our next plan of action, and you must come and tell your friends to come also!" At that Ralph put on his hat and left the Inn feeling like he had just made an excellent move towards Sophia's freedom.

Romulus sat in the only dark corner of the car smokeing a fab looking glum. This boy was going to mean trouble for his friends and he had to stop him before he couls hurt them all.

Jessika walked up to Rom and placed her hand on top of his. "What is wrong Romulus?"

"I do not like the sound of what is going on, I must leave." he then got up from the table and placed a small kiss on Jessika's blushing cheek and walked swiftly out the door.
