I made my way to the stinking pile of vampire remains, the smell made me gag and Eliza started laughing and said,
"Why Regnum do you need a bucket?" I replied, "No that will not be necessary but it pains me to say this we will have to burn this place down"
Eliza knew that this had to happen and she realised that there was no time for fond goodbyes, scooping the remains into a wooden box and then sealing it shut. We burned the wooden box, and the fire engulfed the place Eliza called home, we could not leave any trace of what occurred here for it would bring us attention and that is the last thing we need a house fire could be easily explained if the situation called for it we hoped. We gabbed an empty sack from one of the shelves and filled it with whatever curious items we could throw in before leaving the place and the horrors that unfolded there behind.
"So Regnum where to?" Eliza asked, "Now Eliza don't be so impatient, you will find out when we get there?" I retorted. We walked the streets of London for several hours heading toward a secluded mansion which I know is rife with vampire activity, I could smell them in the air, I could taste the blood on my lips. I startled Eliza by asking her to crouch down and keep quiet, for in the distance I could hear talking and movement. The voices seemed deep and manic, we slowly approached the mansion trying to edge ever closer, we waited for what seemed like a eternity then suddenly we heard a scream then silence. I looked to where the scream came from and it was on the balcony of the first floor, I could see what we now know is a vampire just finishing its quarry, I heard Eliza load her crossbow and then shoot. The bolt was swift and silent, travelling through the nights sky, it hit the vampire in the chest right where the heart is and the vampire dropped out of sight instantly.
"Even though that was a very impressive shot it looks like we have no chpice but to clear out this mansion now Eliza thanks to your hasty judgement" she confidently replied by saying, "This is why you want me by your side is it not?, my aim is true and my thirst to kill vampires is never quenched"
"You do have a point there my lady, lets try not bring our presence to the vampires" Eliza quickly replied,
"I can see to that", she rummaged in the sack of antiques we managed to salvage from her home, eventually pulling out a small bottle filled with an unfamiliar liquid.
"Just what have you found there Eliza" I asked,
"This is what will help us remain undetected, but I must warn you it is unpleasant for the duration it is flowing through our bodies."
"Well this sounds like fun my lady do explain" I asked her curiously
"Okay but I did warn you, this is made from vampire sweat, saliva and.......semen, once you consume it, you will start producing a putrid smell from every pore and the result makes vampires unable to sniff out humans, we will smell like one of them for exactly one hour, then our bodies will violently throw up until every drop is out of our system, are you ready you only need one mouthful."
I take the bottle from her and drink then Eliza does the same, I immediately hold my throat and try not to bring it back up the taste is foul and the smell is instantly noticeable, I then hear tearing, Eliza had ripped part of her dress and began to tie it around her mouth she then hands me a piece and I do the same,
My body has stopped rejecting the fluid and I turn to Eliza and say,
"Well my lady shall we dance" she looks at me and says
"Only if you are good enough to lead"
