Clarissa's p.o.v

I had not moved since I had been thrown into the room. I was huddled up against a wall. Suddenly the door opened and light poured into the room. My head snapped up.

"How is our little Clarissa," rang the most annoying voice I had ever heard.

The boys facial features were not clear but I knew exactly, without a doubt, who he was, Alois Truancy. He reached down and snatched my chin up to face him. "You will answer me when I speak to you!" the boy yelled into my face. I did not answer, I would not answer. I spit into the boys face and he, startled, stumbled backwards. A hard hand came down on my face. My cheek stung terribly.

"Ouch you little prick!" I shouted angrily.

"I would advise you watch your tongue young Rissa, if you wish to get under my skin it will not work, but I know how to get under your skin Rissa," Alois giggled childishly," for instance let's speak of your darling brother!"

"Don't you dare touch him!"

"Why Rissa, you have been here unconscious for weeks, he hasn't come looking for you yet he doesn't care," Alois smiled and let out another giggled before leaving the room followed by his Butler Claude.

It was so dark, and cold, but this room did not seem like a jail cell, it was an actual room, such as my room at the manor. I was sore but I crawled around and found that there was not much furniture, just one small bed.

The door opened hastily and light poured into the room again. A girl a little smaller than me was thrown onto the hard floor and then the door was slammed shut.

She sobbed loudly. Her voice sounded familiar. She threw herself against the door.

"Please let me out!"

She shouted so loudly my ears rang. Her voice was raspy, as if she had not drank anything in a long time, yet her English accent was one of the strongest I had ever heard. Anna, this was Anna Camble.

"Anna, is that you," I asked my voice shaking. Her body turned towards mine.

"Clarissa..... yes it is me, what is this place, where are we," she asked desperately. "Where is Sebastian, I heard that he fancies you, if me and you both go missing they shall come look for us, where are they," she rambled.

"Anna, please calm down," I replied. I saw red eyes glow in the darkness, right where Anna's eyes should have been.

"I do not want to calm down Rissa!"

The heavy door swung open yet again and Claude stalked into the room right beside Anna.

She frantically crawled her way over to me.

"Oh, do not run, I won't hurt you, not unless my Master instructs me to do so," even in the darkness I could hear a grin is his voice. "Here Ms. Anna, I'll show you, come close I will not hurt you," Anna's head snapped upwards. She hesitantly stood and walked over to Claude slowly. I knew that she did not want to, yet there is no telling what Claude would do if she did not listen to him.

Claude violently gasped her arm. I jumped up and ran over to the two.

"Let her go, you liar, you said you would not hurt her!"

I wrapped my arm Claude's arm and pulled with all my strength. I changed into my reaper form and pulled with all of that strength as well. Claude shoved me and I flew through the air, hit the cement wall and fell to the floor.

"I am not a liar, I said I would not hurt her as long as my Master commanded me to do so..... and his Highness has requested that I get rid of this pesky thing," Anna fought in his grasp, punching and kicking, pulling and pushing, grunting and grasping. She was only human what could she do, or was she, what had happened to her eyes only moments ago?

Claude grabbed her wrist and pulled out a knife and in one slow yet fast painful movement slid the blade into Anna's skin and cut off her mark. The only thing that attached her to Johnny.  She screamed out in pain and the skin fell to the floor close to me. I was to weak to help her.

There was a glowing light in the room, I realized that Anna was holding onto Claude, and her hand was bright red. Claude grunted I pain and then pushed Anna who landed beside me. She was quiet, she seemed to be trying to control her breathing.  Claude held his arm that had just been..... hurt ( I was not exactly sure what Anna had done ) and rushed out of the room.
