"Oh, my!" Myra exclaimed, one hand pressed to her heart "I think she's fainted Poor dear," Myra added syht"
Roshan stared at Brenna Her face was pale, her skin overly hot Her pulse was beating rapidly He detected a strange, sickly sweet aroed?
Before he could question Myra, he sensed a ripple in the air, a stir of supernatural power Too late, he realized soulfed him as someone wrapped a thick silver chain around his neck and yanked it tight Pain shot through hi forward, Myra pulled Brenna out of his arms
Freed of his burden, Roshan was about to wheel around and see as behind hi his ar around and came face-to-face with Anthony Loken
The warlock bared his teeth in a feral smile as he tossed a small bucket of holy water in Roshan's face The drops penetrated Roshan's clothing, sizzled over his skin, raising huge red blisters everywhere they touched A few drops splashed into his eyes, blinding him
"Got hiirls, he wrapped several ths of thick silver chain around Roshan's body and legs
Unable to see, no longer able to stand, Roshan dropped heavily to the floor with Brenna's name on his lips

Anthony Loken looked at Myra, his smile victorious "Got hiret in her voice "I hope you don't have to kill her, Tony I've grown rather fond of her"
"How did you know she was a witch?" he asked "I've been with her several tipre of being a genuine vaalled hih his expertise in the Dark Arts was growing rapidly The fact that she was the leader of their coven was equally irksoe He would have powers far beyond hers
"They both veil what they are very well," Myra re down at the vaer in the craft than you are Be careful with the vampire," she warned sharply "Don't turn your back on him I'm not sure what he's capable of"
"Don't worry"
"Do you really think you can create this ic elixir that will allow us to live forever?"
"I'irl out to o and open the trunk"
Myra paused in the doorway, looking up and down the street before she carried Brenna out to Loken's car and deposited her on the front seat
Serafina opened the trunk and Anthony dropped Roshan, none too gently, inside He stared down at the valy red blisters on his face and hands, the bright red welts that appeared wherever the silver touched his skin So long as the vampire was bound with silver chains and periodically doused with holy water, he would remain as weak and helpless as a newborn babe Sort of like Superman when he was exposed to kryptonite
