Chapter 16

Devi crept down the hall, a smirk on his face as he passed by the many rooms unnoticed while all the vampires slept.

Krel had thought he had Devi contained merely because he had shackled his wrists together to the bedpost. He hadn't counted on Devi opening a tiny portal between his hands and then snapping it closed around the metal cuffs, breaking himself free.

"You bastards have to sleep sometime, now it's my turn to play," Devi whispered as he neared Sheldon's room. He slid inside the door, closing it quietly behind him.

He crept toward the large bed that Sheldon slept in. It would be easy enough to just open those huge velvet curtains and burn him to a crisp, but that wouldn't prove to the vampires just how much danger they were in as long as they pissed him off.

Devi crept up onto the bed, part of him wanted to smack Sheldon awake and then rip his heart out, but it wasn't brute strength that he wanted to use either.

Careful not to wake him, he gently opened Sheldon's mouth with his fingers. Devi bit into his wrist, positioning it over the vampire's mouth.

Immediately Sheldon latched on, biting hard into the soft flesh. Once the blood was swallowed there was no going back.

Devi pressed into his mind, pushing through all barriers easily.

Sheldon looked around, hearing a fierce laughter invading his entire being. He gasped in pain as he felt like metal claws were ripping through his memories. He quickly tried to throw up barriers to keep the beast out.

Devi laughed, pushing down the new barriers. He scanned through the memories, finding one in particular. One moment in time that haunted Sheldon's dreams.

He saw a child locked in a cellar with no hope of food or clothes. Devi pulled that memory to the surface, tearing apart every other memory, leaving only this in his wake. He erased Sheldon's ability to create new memories, locking him in this time and place forever.

"There's a reason that no one plays with the Revlis clan, and its not because our fists are hard, its because our minds are full of creative games," Devi grinned as he watched Sheldon sputter, eyes wide with terror as he continued to relive the horror of his childhood.

Sheldon started to scream, batting at invisible things that he saw crawling all over his skin.

"It was fun, we should do this again some time, only I don't think you're really up to it," Devi laughed.
