Some revelations...

Nora had set the bomb in NY and Violet had sired Dracula. Mithias frowned at the new information. He looked at Nora, as the others had, well aware of Vladimir's draconic lupine form within lunging distance. His glare was cold, yet no harsh words came forth to follow it up. He could see she was plagued with guilt over what she had done. He had to be the voice, of reason. 

"Nora. You chose to kill hundreds, thousands, over the lives of a few. There was nothing moral about that decision. It was utterly selfish and naive. Yet... I will not deny that I identify with your position. I my past, I begged to be turned, in order to gain the power to save my family, and had my sire threatened their safety afterward... I would have done anything to appease him. 

But that doesn't make it right, and as it stands now, Dracula can still threaten those you love. So I must ask you once again, are you truly free of him? Can you be trusted not to reveal to him our plans once we leave this place?" Mithias let his questions linger tauntingly, unable to be directly answered. 

"Violet. I would have your wisdom, and Vladimir, I would have your strength, to form a strike team to go after Dracula. I will coordinate our attack to the best of my ability. I will not take Nora, nor Piper," he shot the female were-vamp a glance, "as they would be vulnerable to Dracula. Nora should remain hidden here, where she cannot be threatened. If worse comes to worse, she could use Piper as collateral to prevent Dracula from harming her loved ones." The suggestion was crude, yet very true. Mithias regretted demeaning the girl to an object, but there was no reason to apologize for practicality in war. Dracula wanted her for his brood program so wouldn't likely endanger someone so valuable. 

He looked at Nora again. "I know you want to be free of him, and I trust your sincerity. Please tell us what you know, so that we may put an end to him. We may be without Soldier, but that doesn't mean we can't continue to uphold the Blood Contract as a rogue elite force. I will not lay down dead and allow Dracula to have his war." Mithias glared as a little heat came to his eyes. This was him furious.
