The High Priestess-reversed

"Alice, do you hear me?"Steel asks, she only looks up at Steel twisting her head back almost like a robot back to Alex.

Steel gets up feeling chills with how quiet Alice is lately, Chara comes in signaling for her to come away.

Out in the hall, Chara shuts the door behind them, "Steel...come with me." She mutters under her breathe, Steel follows behind to the kitchen.

"The new feeder has disappeared and Christian is nowhere to be found."

"Are you saying Christian may have taken her?"

"Well...kind of, but also Alice has been acting very weird."

"Now you mention it..."

"Shush please, only observe and report back here if you see anything weird,"Chara responds feeling unsafe, Steel starts to freak out internally exiting the cookery.

She gradually backs out bumping into Clarence who laughs, "You seem jumpy today."

Steel grabs Clarence hugging him tightly almost feeling the need to cry, "Something feels wrong."

"I agree Lady Steel, something has been happening under our noses."

"Master Alex is certainly in danger, but I think we can't trust anyone here..."

Dominique comes out from one of the smaller rooms locking it as he leaves, catching Steel and Clarence giving him a glare; he is eager.

"Lady Steel, you are still here?" He questions, "Dare you take tea with me?"

"Certainly Master Dominique, we have the time."

They gather to the dining room where Dominique speaks inaudible words to Chara who swiftly dashes to the kitchen coming out with several cups of blood tea that had already been mixed.

"I heard you found the fabled James in your old torture room, is that correct?"

"We actually brought him here to be examined by Chara, but she seems so busy."

"None sense...she will be available later to take a look then, where is he placed at?"

Steel feels embarrassed, "He is in one of the guest rooms waiting for us as we speak."

Clarence stands up when noise could be heard down the hall into Alex's room, Dominique only sips his tea as he advances to the room slamming the door open.

Alice gawks up at him wide-eyed, the air in the room feels heavy unexpectedly to him; he pulls Alice up by the arm, "What is this feeling of blood-lust...you can't tell me you don't feel it, Alice?"

"I don't know what you are talking about Clarence..."

He notices how under her eyes is black, her cheeks are sunken, "When have you last eaten?"

"I don't need to eat..."

Clarence finds Dominique behind him, "Do you need help, Clarence?"

"We're just going to our room Master Dominique."Steel replies, "Come Clarence!"

They scatter going to the guest room to accidentally wake James, he makes gestures at Alex's room, "James we can't go in there right now..."Steel replies cuddling up to Clarence.

"The house is slowly turning on its head and were trapped..." Clarence says sighing.

"This is what Dominique wanted for Alex from the start...I hope Lady Trinity comes back."

James waves his arms up and down several times, "SP-ID-ER" He tries to word, "TR-AA-PP-ED!"

"Spider?" Clarence asks, "Is this a spider's trappings?"

"Is it possible Dominique is working with a spider entity..."

James shakes his head, "LE-T ME SEE AL-EX!"

"You want to see Alex, James?" Steel questions, "What do you know?

"EN-SNA-RED!" James points at the door, Steel decides to help James by taking him to the room, Clarence guards the entrance.

Alice's face lights up in fear, she can plainly see through his true nature; it scares her causing her trip trying to rise to place her hands over the top of Alex attempting to protect him.

Steel is shocked seeing her provoked to take such an action, "Alice..."

She hisses at them, her hair stands on end, James takes place on the floor starting to meditate.

The door opens to have Christian come inside with dead eyes, Steel erect in disbelief as she watches him pass by Clarence, "Lady Steel...thank you for having concern, but there is no need."

"Christian...what happened to you?" Steels requests to know, blood coats his clothing while the smell of humans could be smelled coming off him.

"Absolutely nothing...what do you mean?" He replies.

Steel feels as though she is going mad, vampires should not be flaunting the blood of their enemies or their victims, Christian and Alice all of a sudden feel completely unrecognizable.

Clarence is forced into the room by Dominique at gunpoint while Alex's kindred are cackling madly in the background, "Avic...looks like you have more food for your web."

A shadow ascends giving life to a large spider figure right in front of their eyes, Clarence wraps his arms around Steel thinking only of her, "Today is my lucky day it seems."

"It was a time you taught them a lesson Avic!"

"Oh look, a pet project vampire and his lovely master!"

"Clarence...are you not legitimately made?"

His face reddens, "It doesn't matter how I got here..."

"Now we got all the time in the world it seems to learn, here I always thought highly of you."
