The vampire stared at Ning with a look that bordered on surprise, anger, and fear.
Surprise that she had been found. Anger that this was the man they said was going to kill her. Fear that he might actually succeed now that she had been found.
Ning ignored the look on her face and continued talking. "Let's start with a simple matter. What is your name?"
The woman didn't answer. Her bright red eyes continued staring at him with hatred.
Larissa couldn't help but step back a little, a look of revulsion appearing on her. "Something is wrong with her," she said. "I only feel anger and hatred when I look at her."
"Really?" Ning asked. "I'm only feeling attraction. Is it because of those eyes, I wonder."
The vampire said nothing.
"Ning…" Larissa spoke with a panicked glance. Below, on the street, the men were beginning to move around like beasts caged, trying to find a way out. Even though they could leave at any time, they were caged by whatever the woman's power was.
