Sarah had seen many gruesome events in her life. She had killed many vampires and seen the evidence of their gruesome tastes. But the room she stood in now was beyond her ability to process. Blood was all over the floors. Mangled body parts intermingled with large splotches of it. Sarah was so intensely horrified it took her two seconds before she realized Eserven was not with her. She sent out her power to find him when she realized wherever she was the building was insulated against such powers. She could not expand her power outside either. Then she sensed something familiar in that blocking power. She recognized it as a witch's power. Someone was going through a lot of trouble to keep this building hidden. She began to step past the gore when she heard two voices shouting and the unmistakable sound of fighting. She recognized the voices immediately. She vaulted through the blood room and found herself in a large hallway. The interior seemed to be organized like an office building. She saw overturned desks and paper scattered all over the ground. The noise seemed to be coming from downstairs. She found a stairwell and leaped down two flights. She burst through into a new hallway and found the man she had been searching for. She had seen the twins fight only once before, to her undoing, and now with vampiric senses, and despite the horrible situation, she found it a beautiful sight. The twirled around one another fighting as if they were one being. They did not seem to notice her right away. Kristopher kicked off the last of this crazed assailants and finally he seemed to notice her. And for what seemed like longer than a few seconds they took each other in. She noticed his hair was longer. He seemed to be waiting for her to react so she crossed over to them. Before anyone said anything she hugged him. After so long she just wanted him to hold her again. They did not need to speak. His mind was completely open to her. Sarah was mentally hitting herself so hard. If she had been around him for a few more seconds she would have seen the truth in his mind. He missed her just as much as she missed him. Then Nikolas interrupted the moment with some good advice, "Well… now that's taken care of can we please leave before we get killed?" Sarah was so dazed by her encounter with Kristopher it took a few seconds for her response, "Wait… a friend of mine was with me. We teleported here together but he's gone. I can't just leave him." The ground beneath them began to vibrate slowly and Sarah recognized the presence of magic. The barrier they all felt on the building was suddenly gone. The bodies of their witch assailants also gone. The blood and evidence of their apparent madness still lingered in the halls of the building. With the barrier gone Sarah realized Eserven was not in the building. Kristopher pulled Sarah gently toward him and asked, "Now what?"

A large concert hall spread out before a pair of vampires. A golden haired, and beautiful women ran ahead of her partner and danced onto the main stage. She twirled on it and sat cross-legged next to a large Grand Piano. The man who was with her stared at her skeptically. "Is this really the place Kendra?" She laughed and said, "I believe the arrangement was I get to pick the location of our next meeting." At that moment another vampire walked into the hall from the far end. "Still as annoying as ever I see…" Kendra danced toward the Vampire, "Oh Silver you flatterer." He lowered his face to Kendra and whispered, "Any news of Siete?" She shook her head. She asked him, "And Jessica and Aubrey?" Silver also shook his head, "I can't seem to make a connection with either of them." Then three more vampires walked into the room. They all congregated on the stage. Silver spoke, "It goes badly. However the smoke witch continues to assure me she will hold the haven. The Tristes managed to make it to her despite Adiana's best efforts. And we have had no luck finding him either." Kendra danced around the piano before saying, "That was unusually concise for you Silver. But I do have some good news…"
