a chance to wring the neck of those responsible Cian’s mind went blank. The offer was exactly what he wanted stranger known? Who was this man and why would he want to help some peasant with nothing to offer in return we want?” Nothing came for free in this world; there was always a price. Always.

A smile flashed over the man’s face, his teeth gleaming in the light of the moon. “I want to make you stronger than you imagine, to give you something far more valuable than life itself. This will require a great sacrifice on your part, of course willing to call me your Master, I will give you exactly what it is you want most; the identity of those responsible for the death family, and the power to return the favour with your own two hands.”

“I’ll do anything,” Cian gasped without needing to think about it. His life was meaningless without his wife and child, making this an eat choice. Whatever he needed to do, he would do without hesitation.

“Most excellent,” the stranger murmured, smile widening as he offered Cian a hand. “Come. There is much to be done.”

A human could be Turned in a single night – the Master vampire – who’d with enough blood – but the vampire created by such a quick Turning was nothing more than a hunger driven monstrosity. Even if the fledgling was kept well fed this never changed. These ones were killed without mercy by the very being

There were times when the Master forced Cian to help with the process in some way and he always did so without a fuss. This was what he’d agreed to, after all. Though he would, eventually, lose his mortal soul to the vampire, at least when it happened he could say he’d died a man of his word
