Lizzie POV

Hope and I sat are in the same bar we have been in every night this week. Looking about for the perfect target that we could go after next.

For the first few nights I had protested and told Hope I wanted no part in this but thanks to this stupid sirebond I couldn't resist. Even when Hope ordered me to the very worst possible actions.

"So Lizzie, anyone catch your attention yet?"

Hope was smirking when I looked at her.

"I don't know Hope."

Hope looked over at the bar and her smirked deepened as she pointed.

"What about the beautiful barmaid over there? She looks tasty and I don't mean just because of her blood."

I sighed and looked over.

The girl was making a drink and despite myself I found Hope was right. The girl was beautiful and I found myself wanting to know her. Though what Hope was proposing I didn't want to choose her.

I didn't want to choose anyone.

I shook my head but Hope was already standing up.

"Too late. I want this one."

I protested but Hope was already getting up and walking over to the girl. She waited until the girl approached her and then Hope leaned over the bar and whispered in the girls ear.

I have never seen Hope this confident in all the time I knew her. Within this last week nothing stopped Hope and she never backed down from a challenge. Each night we picked up someone, boy or girl Hope had simply spoke words into their ear and they would swoon and do anything she wanted.

I knew Hope could us compulsion but I wondered how much was that and actually her own doing.

The girl smiled and nodded and then followed Hope outside the bar. I finished my drink and followed Hope out as I knew things would get ugly if I didn't. Our in the back alley I found surprisingly that Hope was making out with the girl.

I found myself looking on without realising why. But I had enough and coughed. Hope turned around smirking.

"Oh Lizzie I forgot you were coming. Want to join in?"

Hope moved her eyebrows in a suggestive way but I brushed it off.

"No I am fine. So what are we doing here?"

Hope's smirk left her face and she turned to face the girl. I could hear what she said.

"Stay still and don't make a sound."

Hope moved quick and she was standing in front of me and smiling almost child like.

I tried not to flinch.

"You know the drill Lizzie. Go and do what you do best. Pretend that girl is Aurora. When we eventually find her she is not going to give up anything easily. So we need to do what we must."

Hope stepped back and took out something from her jacket. It was a long thin blade and offered it to me. I was hesitant.

"Take it Lizzie."

My hand snapped out and took it from Hope who had looked quite satisfied.

"Now go up and cut her please."

I hated this part. My mind was screaming and trying to get my limbs to respond and not move. But the second Hope finished speaking I was already moving towards the poor girl.
