Her blue eyes scanned the room, noting a significant change in furniture style. Alexander had favored a more Victorian style look to his quarters for over a century. The man was walking proof that in three millennia, life still had new experiences to dive into. She had not yet discussed her news to him as he preferred a more private setting. Even when she had informed him of how pressing the news was, he forbade her from sharing it until he was ready. So there she sat, quietly thinking of how to tell Alexander that the witch known as Shay Knight not only escaped but had knowledge of very sensitive information that could be leaked to the enemy. Alexander entered the lounge room with a smile on his face and his jacket removed. A glass filled with deep red held in his right hand and a wooden pool cue held in the left. Olivia knew the drill well. She mirrored her master's good mood, smiling at his arrival. Her concern failed to leave her expression. [Color=gold]"The cues came in! The billiards room... which used to be the gallery, is finished. And just on time might I add. All I need is a worthy teacher to learn from."[/color] Alexander sipped his drink and took a seat on the identical couch across from Olivia. [Color=silver]"Yes, and I hear you are attempting to [i]outsource[/i]. I am sure there are a few in our community that can teach-"[/color] Alexander cut Olvia off [Color=gold]"Absolutely not. I will learn from a master, and I have found one thanks to a tip from one of our more recent acquisitions."[/color] He sipped some of his drink again. [Color=gold]"Humans are vile, but some can be made into beautiful creatures."[/color] Alexander flashed a smile to his subordinate. She forced another smile, but he was not convinced by it. [Color=gold]"Out with it then. I am now ready for my terrible news."[/color] Alexander's warm expression grew cold. [Color=silver]"Shay Knight…"[/color] [Color=gold]"Who?"[/color] [Color=silver]"The witch who recently escaped. She has information on [i]why[/i] we need the witches. The fool involved in her escape informed her of this knowledge. Knowledge he became privy to after overhearing one of our conversations. I will ensure he dies as slowly. I can have him killed over the course of a year… a decade if you require!"[/color] Alexander sat as still and silent as a statue. [Color=silver]"Alexander. We will recapture her. I will make sure of it."[/color] Both glass and wood let loose a sudden crackling sound as both were crushed in Alexander's grip. Olivia flinched as she felt she was part of the blame. In his right hand, trickling blood and shattered glass, and in his left, a splintering pool cue. Both hands tightened into fists. [Color=gold]"Shay Knight…"[/color] Alexander stood from his seat, letting the pool cue and shards of glass land on the carpet. He paced around the furniture within the large room as if each step could accomplish easing his frustration as he allowed the name to stew in his mind. After several seconds, he stopped and faced Olivia with cold piercing eyes. [Color=gold]"We will halt all collection operations. No new cattle until her head is at my feet! No new recruits! None! If I hear that someone has changed a human before this witch is dead, I will [b]personally[/b] kill the newly changed, the one that changed them, and have the one that changed the insubordinate starved for five days at a time until we find and kill that witch! [b]Everything stops until we find and kill Shay Knight!"[/b][/color] After being loudly dismissed from his quarters, Olivia moved hastily and made sure all members of the Sanguine Moon clan were aware of Alexander's number one priority. She had been a simple Be On the Lookout target, but now she would be actively hunted by all members of the clan. Her face, her name, her known spells were all rapidly being shared with each and every member. Let the witch hunt begin.
