Zel looks up at the old vampire, he knew the man was wearing gold contacts but he didn't want to believe it was the man that had tutored him as a first Turned. Ace watched with a smile as Zel's mind put the pieces together.
Ace had gone crazy, had turned on his own kind. Ace was Zel's own death angel. The one who had turned and trained him. Zel's eyes darted around and landed on Mac. A pale boy with bright green hair and a frail body. His hands were chained to a bar sticking out from the wall above his head. Mac's head drooped down to his chest, his eyes closed. Blood poured from his mouth.
Accius's voice broke through Zel's concentration, "Now, now Jack, he'll be alright. It's how I am teaching him. It's how I'll reteach you aswell. Mac is new, only 5 days since he's been Turned. He's really well behaved."
Zel's throat hurt, "He doesn't sound new or look it, Accius."
Ace's hand shot out and grabbed Zel's hair, forcing him to look up. Zel's head bangs against the wall, he groans out. Ace's face hardens, "Shut up and obey, Jack. You don't want what he gets. He's a little bit of a rebel. He tries to get under my skin."
Ace's fingertips pull against the skin on his other arm, pulling a layer away. Zel's eyes widen, "What the heck, Ace? You are supposed to be good. Just because I didn't turn out good doesn't mean it was your fault."
Ace's lips pull up into a grin, "Jack, Jack, Jack, it doesn't matter what you think. It matters that you wish to be bad. I am gonna teach you the way."
Zel's head snapped to the side, a grunt escaped his lips. The kind old man had turned sour and vicious. His hand shot out and Zel felt the sting on his cheek. The warm trickle of blood running from the scratches. Zel licked his lips and the voice interrupts Ace. The boy, Mac, lifts his head. "It's me you want, you old hag. Beat me, leave him. It's true I don't know him or care for him but it is unfair. Beat me."
Zel's gaze focused on Mac, the boy's red eyes stare back. Fully expectant and then something changes. Mac changes.
A gasp of terror hits Zel as the small vulnerable boy changes into something fierce. Ace smiles and grabs a silver rod, sauntering back over to Mac.
