"Here, Miss Alessandro, the drink for Master." Lauren said as he brought a bottle of wine that actually had over seventy percent blood mixed with the wine.
"Lauren..."
"Yes, Miss Alessandro?"
Emily hesitated, not sure if the vampire would agree to help her or not. But she didn't have any other choices left if she wanted to help Shadow. Taking in a deep breath, she looked straight into Lauren's dark eyes as she spoke - "I know that you are extremely loyal to Shadow and will never do anything against his orders..."
She let her words hang in the air and it was pretty clear from Lauren's expressions that he was skeptical about whatever she was going to say next.
"... but I also know that you love and care about him just as much. That's why you still brought me here despite knowing that he might get angry at you." She gave Lauren a small but warm smile before continuing - "This is why I believe that you will help me."
