First Embrace

Malachi remained uninterested in the face of the vampire's teasing and unsheathed his iklwha from his back. 

"We'll take her together, Mr Saint." Enzo said. 

"...You sure? She already tapped your ass once, you wanna give her a chance to do it again?"

Enzo scowled at Malachi and he held up his arms in surrender. "Just checking for safety-"

Malachi was suddenly assailed with a terrible headache that made him feel like his head was going to split open. 

Flashes occurred in his mind, and he saw Anna being struck in the head by a falling beam and collapsing onto the ground. 

The last thing she saw before she passed out was two men floating in the sky above the open ceiling, wearing the same white robes that Arias and his followers could be seen wearing. 

"Enzo... change of plans." Malachi muttered. 

The guild master suppressed a shiver when he felt Malachi's tone and demeanor do a complete one eighty.
