There were three of them. Two males and one female with glowing Vampire Red eyes. Their fangs glinted with sharpness, but there was caution in their steps.
"He's with the other one," one male said to the others.
"Look at that carriage," said the second male, "They're definitely nobles."
"They could make for better trophies than the last couple City Guards, don't you think?" said the female as she eyed Caius and licked her lips.
Caius frowned.
"Huh," he said and turned his eyes toward where Alexia and the other vampires had vanished to.
"Forget about your partner, hottie," said the female, "Focus on us— No, focus on me."
She reached out and grabbed Caius's chin, stroking him with her claws as lightly as possible so as not to scar him.
And then all three vampires froze. Caius hadn't shifted, so his senses weren't at their sharpest, and he didn't hear what they could, but he still smiled because he knew what it was. Or more accurately, he knew 'who' it was.
