David studied me for a moment. &#8220;You lie.&#8221; I felt a sudden jolt and pain to my cheeK, dazed at the powerful hit. Danielle had struck me. &#8220;I..I swear.. I&#8217;m a hundred and thirty five. My sire taught me very litt-&#8221; with a yelp I was struck on my other cheek. I took deep breaths to calm the fire ready to burst from me. David sighed and held a hand to Danielle to stop. &#8220;Tell me what you know..share what this magic can do.&#8221; I sniffed and took a deep breath. &#8220;I perfected one spell..Acidic Touch is what it is called. I can simply focus my blood and make it pour from my fingers to burn someone&#8230;like acid&#8230;if we were on Sosaria&#8230;.I could show you but&#8230;the..the magic doesn&#8217;t work here..&#8221; I wasn&#8217;t lying this time.

And prayed he wouldn&#8217;t take my blood, but alas my prayers were unanswered. I felt his fangs dig into my neck, and with a panicked reaction, i instantly went into a burst of flame. He and those around me retreated quickly. I fell to the floor and whimpered. Scurrying away with tears falling from my eyes. He licked his burned lips which were quickly healing. I instantly realized I fucked up, badly. David motioned and instantly Zeeke and Danielle were on me. I was used to the beatings va&#8217;lis gave me through the years but they had centuries And centuries on him. I was a ragdoll, a play thing to them. Zeeke pinned me down and whispered dangerously to me..&#8221;your sister..and that mortal bitch will die if you do not cooperate..and I will be the one to do it.&#8221; hope left me as I laid there on the cold floor, badly bloodied and slowly healing due to the bloodloss and lack of feeding. I gave up. My head rolled to the side, exposing my neck, and j felt the bite once more..I cried. I cried hard and loudly.<\/p>\n<p>I felt weak, I felt defenceless. My mind broke completely as they drew away with all my secrets, all the know lage I had of blood magic. All of my life, from birth to now was known to them. I curled into myself and wished for death. Va&#8217;lis will be so pissed that I broke. My father, my teacher, my sire, I&#8217;m so sorry. He taught me better then this. He prepared me for anything, what happened to me?! I wailed and screamed. I was lost. I shut Maharet out, I couldn&#8217;t bear to live this cursed life.
