... desire for this to escalate.”

“You kidnapped me!” she shot back bitterly.

Sadie leaned into her opulent seat as she gazed down at the angry waif. She spoke her next words with stern conviction. “The man who did that acted on his own. His instructions were to follow you and observe. He's been punished severely, and I'm not done with him yet.”

Rosa's eyes widened as she listened. Her words had the ring of truth, but she noted that Sadie had specifically not mentioned who it was that bit and turned her. Was it her attackers? Or had the woman now sitting above Rosa given the order? Perhaps even done it herself?

“I suspect you already know who I am, but introductions should come first. I am Sadie Octavia Ruthven, owner of the Scarlet Sanctum and Headmistress of the Crimson Tide. Your name is Rosa, is it not?”

Rosa nodded. “Rosa Morales.”

“A pleasure to meet you, dear. I'm sorry it had to be under such dire circumstances, but perhaps we can make the best of a bad situation.”

“What is it you want from us?”

“From you, I want only one thing. To give your new life a chance. You are one of the Chosen now. I know you've likely heard a thousand terrible things about our kind, but you've only heard one side of the story. I'd ask that you hear our side with an open mind.”

“Well, for one thing, he's male” Sadie answered dismissively. She said it like it was the most natural thing in the world that men should have no freedom. “Beyond that, he's too dangerous to go free. You, on the other hand, are new to all this, unless I miss my guess.”

Rosa inhaled deeply. She didn't want to leave Reynauld behind, but if there was any chance of helping him, she had to escape. Would her old contacts even listen to her after this? Not likely. They would test her first; discover she was one of the Chosen and kill her.

“So, if I choose to leave, what then?”

Sadie shrugged. “That's for you to decide. You may return to your old life if you wish, but I think you'll find there is no going back. Not really. You will always thirst, for the rest of your days. Here, you may feed without guilt. Out there... Where will you find sustenance, if not the innocent? On top of that, you will be hunted by those you once called allies.”

The grim reality struck Rosa to the core. This was no choice at all. She could report her findings to the Holy See and die or endure as a Chosen under the Crimson Tide's tutelage. If she remained, she could at least look after Reynauld. Perhaps she could even find her brother, if he still lived.

Those were the primary factors, but not the only ones she had to consider. Rosa was less ...
