"And Rose?"
"I haven’t found her yet"
As Aiden rushed off, I looked around the vessel for Sofia I spotted her in the far corner of the rooe ripped his neck between my arms and with one sharp motion I disjointed it I held outwith sweat "I found Ben," I said "But Rose isn’t here"
"What?"
"I searched this whole vessel She’s not here"
I began to fear the worst--that the reason Stellan had fled so quickly was that he held Rose separately from Ben just in case we atteht that ouldn’t risk an a that could put our precious twins’ lives in danger He thought that ould rather just hand over our immune But just in case we tried an aht, I was kicking ht do this He would have been a fool not to
"But where could she be?"
"We need to find out where it is these va Sofia’s side, I raced over to Xavier, as just about to inject a vampire with a tranquilizer I knocked it out of his hands and pulled the vampire away from him She had a youthful face, possibly in her twenties when she was turned, and short blonde hair

I pulled her up and dragged her into the control room "Where do you vampires coainst her throat She gasped but still didn’t speak
"There are plenty of other vaest you speak, unless you prefer that I rip your heart out"
"All right," she croaked, gasping I released the pressure from her neck "We live on an island, about an hour away from here"
"What island?"
"Stellan rules over it It’s protected by a witch’s spell"
"A spell? Will we be able to enter it?"
Tre, she nodded "Yes, because you are accompanied by us"
I pushed her into the control seat and said, "Do you kno to operate this thing?"
"Y-yes"
"Then you’ll take us there You said it takes about an hour I’ll be watching the tiest you don’t mess with me"
She eyed my claws as I sat down next to her, ready to strike if I sensed even the slightest bit of disobedience from her
I turned to Sofia
"Are all the vampires tied do?"
"Yes, it looks like it"
