Aine managed a shaky smile when Josie mentioned wanting to visit her village. [i]I’m here so that they can be safe. If you think that I’m going to lead you back to them, you’re insane,[/i] she thought with sudden spite, but quickly quashed the feeling. No matter her thoughts, her place now was at this vampire’s side, and she was to put the vampire’s satisfaction over all else. 

When the vampire prompted her for the reason of her sudden hesitation, Aine froze, not knowing what to say. [i]She owns you,[/i] a voice in her head told her, tone clipped. [i]You may as well accept it. Even if you die, at least your family will be safe.[/i]

With that thought in mind, Aine exhaled and looked at Josie, pasting on a polite smile again. The vampire sounded less and less sincere by the second, but Aine wasn’t here to befriend the blood-sucking creatures of the night. [color=darkolivegreen]“Nothing, L—Lady Josie,”[/color] she said, stuttering briefly on the woman’s name. [color=darkolivegreen]“If you wish to see the moonblossoms, then I will gladly accompany you.”[/color]

Swallowing the rest of her hesitant resistance, Aine let fear carry her forth into the garden with the vampire in lead. [i]The worst that could happen is that she might kill me,[/i] Aine thought, glancing at the vampire beside her out of the corner of her eye before training her eyes forward. [i]She doesn't seem like someone who’d meaninglessly kill for sport, and even if she did…[/i] Aine paused, stuffing the thought into the outer corners of her mind. [i]No. No, Aine. No.[/i]
