Topher began struggling even harder to regain control of his body. He felt as though he were a puppet struggling against the puppeteers grasp and if he pulled hard enough, he could wrench himself free. He slipped into vampiric superspeed and pulled with all his might.
          	
          	“Do stop that!” his heard himself demand. “You are only going to hurt yourself struggling.”
          	
          	He struggled even harder, Victor had no idea of how dangerous a vampire like Decadence could be, he would need Topher’s help. He stretched and strained and felt that he could just, barely, touch his fingers. Not enough to move his hand, not enough to free himself, but his fingers twitched and he curled all but the middle one in to his palm. Pain shot through his hand and the pain pulled him away from the fingers and he felt the puppet strings wrap even tighter.
          	
          	Decadence looked down at the hand flipping her the bird and laughed.

“I’ve little concern for your petty squabble with the other vampires,” Smith interjected, his voice quiet but demanding attention. “My only interest in it, is to find the stone. We know that Gorman had it, he was supposed to turn it over to my family decades ago. But Decadence took it when she destroyed Gorman. It must be returned. So long as your war ensures its return, I will back you.”

He dropped them into the tan canvas messenger bag he normally used for his classwork and zipped it up.
