The gang turned almost mechanicaly and retraced their steps.They climbed eight flights to a tiny door at the top of the landing .The pulse from the dance floor far below could still be felt and Dashea wished she could be down there writhing along with her peers instead of here on the lost mission to hell.The door openedlabourosly after some cajouling with the lock and vampyrer led the way into a room devoid of life.The walls were dark red almost black, as were the celing and floor.The only light came from a stout red candle in the centre of the roomthe melting wax formed a blood like pool on the floor around it.
Vampyrer beconed for her associates to come and sit around the flame with her.No words spoken no sounds except that of her own heartbeat could be heard.Dashea wisely sat between david and seizet .the girls sat on davids left withthe twins between them and Mike protection on theother end of their half circle.The others sat around the candle as well their hooded faces errie in the addly still light of the candle.
Vampyre smilled ,hersharpe features dramaticised by the flame.from her cloak she with drwe a blade of pure silver and a small ziplock bag of dust. she ceromoniously uplift her arms first thrusting the blade into the candle flame then arching it up towards the sky.She repaeted this swift movement twiice .Then let her wrist hang looselt as she stared into the flames.
Bored almost to misery mathew (twin one)slid his hand under Jaelles coat.she blushed at his attempt to arouse her in such odd predicaments but thrust his hand away as the head of the person across the candle from her rose up out of shadow.The sharp chin and thin pale lips centered on the shocking white face terrified Jaelle but for a moment then sank back into the shadow of the upturned collar.Friosse ,she knew he also had a hand in this event but even now she had no idea what she was meant to do .
Vampyre hissed hloudly to get everyones full attention mainlf mikes who was deftly drumming his fingers on the hard wood floor.In hed handshe held the silver knife the centre of atention,with one swift painless movenent she slit her left index finger and as the blood bubbled out she squezed and let it drip slowly into the flame.then passed the knife to her left .A cloaked hand reached out and accepted it and did the same with such precision not a drop of blood was on the knife .thus the circle continued ,the cloaked being known as friosse leaned forth and thrust his blood into the flame.it crackled and flared a bit with the heat of a full blown forest fire then settled as the knife was passed on to the next of the cloaked beings.
Slowly the blade made its way around the circle.The twelve cloaked beings sat quietly barely moving .From hand to hand the blade traveled until finaly it reached mikes.With out even looking he slit his finger and carelessly let his blood splatter into the flame.The blade went next to jaelle then matthew miles then janet,all but jaet falterd before incarcerating them selves.Tho quite shy jaet was well versed with weapons and showed no fear as she swiftly stabbed herself.
