Re: Chapter 1: The Road Not Taken
The man was now more than a mere annoyance to Vezina. His absolute refusal to give in and fall to her enhanced strength and quickness was beyond forgiveness. The Beast within her scrambled forth and pushed Vezina's consciousness down, deep into the darkness where it normally resided. Vezina merely watched as a passenger as she sank her fangs into man's shoulder and began to feed. Too late did the man's will break -- she had intended to kill him just as she would under the thrall of her Other, but when she was sated on his blood, her frenzy would have to be controlled. This was a moment of shame for her, having fallen into frenzy in front of so many of her fellow Cainites, and all prior to having been introduced to the London lords. This was precisely what she had been hoping to avoid.
If Jourdain or the others were not careful in their handling of her, this could also be a moment of extreme danger for herself and possibly the other Kindred. Silently, Vezina's consciousness howled fruitlessly in rage.
Meanwhile the Beast tore ever deeper into the man, drinking deeply and relentlessly, unleashing inhuman growls as she feasted. As long as it had blood to drink, it would be sated, but when this mortal was a dry husk, then it would look around for another target.
