"Aliana, our Master owns you. All of you. He can take what is his when he wants. It is your duty as his pet to please him." I looked at Silver. Terror evident in my eyes. "Try not to panic, Aliana. This will be your first time. It will hurt...

Alaric: Who is in my mind?
Aliana: Are you in the dungeons?
Silence.
Alaric: Who is this?
I thought for a moment. I didn't trust this man with my name or identity. Not yet. If anyone found out I was speaking to him I could be killed.
Aliana: I am a pet living in the castle.
Alaric: A pet? Is that your disguise?
Aliana: What?!? No. I'm a pet. I just got here a few weeks ago.
Alaric: But...you're a Hunter. You have to be or we wouldn't be able to communicate this way.
Aliana: A Hunter? No. I'm human.
Alaric: What color are your eyes?
A Hunter? Why would he think I'm a Hunter?
Aliana: What?
Alaric: What color are your eyes, boy! Don't toy with me.
Boy?
Aliana: Green. Like my father.
Alaric: There. See. You are a Hunter. Like your father.
What?
Aliana: Many humans have green eyes. It doesn't mean anything. And my father is human, like me.
Alaric: (Sighing in frustration) No human could have both green eyes and link to another Hunter through their minds to have this discussion. That is a gift only Hunters have. Your father was probably trying to protect you, but trust me when I say this. You are a Hunter and so is your father. Is he alive?
Aliana: My father? Yes. He's alive.
Alaric: Great. What's his name?
Aliana: I'm not ready to share that yet.
Alaric: (Another sigh of frustration): Fine. So what is your plan boy?
That can't be right. My father is human. Like me. We aren't Hunters. As far as I know those who weren't killed in battle were captured and then killed. There is no way my father could be a Hunter.
Aliana: Plan? I...I have to go.
Alaric: What?!? I've been waiting for another Hunter for more than two hundred years. You can't just leave me trapped here. I need to know how we are getting out of here.
