"See my creation." Vlad purred as he stroked Jade's neck. He leaned close and whispered in her ear. "That is the creature you have given yourself to. Do you want him now my child?" 

Jade swallowed as she stared at the creature Vlad had made Marshall into. She wasn't worried that the creature would hurt her. She could still see the reckless smartass hidden beneath the creature. She felt sorry fir the pain he must be experiencing.
