sheeva stood in nira's door way. she felt a wandering mind, she knew at once, briam. she walked to her bedroom, the window still open where briam had escaped. she saw a hundred visions of him crawling in, and comforting sheeva when she had the nightmares of her parents being torn apart from vampires. she sat in the middle of the floor and closed her eyes. she gathered strength from every living thing around her, she inhaled deeply and called upon her elven magic. within five minutes thier was a giant orb floating in front of her. she sent it out of the window, and she sent it to briam, it was a protection against vampires, she wouldnt have another person she loved, torn away from her,by the filthy bloodsuckers. she stood up and walked over to her wardrobe, she opened the door,seeing her worried reflection in the mirror, she quickly looked away. and pulled out a bag, she brought it over to her bed and began pulilng things out of it. a steak, with ancient writing on the side. the vampire skull, she had aquired from nira, and many other things. she put the skull in her hand and began chanting, "show me your secrets" over and over again. the skull began to vibrate and it began glowing. sheeva oooopened her eyes, adn looked down at it. it had an image on the top of the skull. a woman was standing at an upturned table, she opened her mouth and hissed at a robe that had just whipped out of the picture. standing beside her was many other vampires, and on the other side of the table stood.... sheeva droopped the skull and ran to nira's room.
