Manja sighed, he was right of course but it was easier with two people...

"Nepht... You know that I can't tell them that..."

"So what are you going to tell them? Are you going to tell my mother that her daughter is a blood sucking monster?" Nepht snapped at her, finding herself growing frustrated by her stubborness.

"Better than being told that her daughter is dead!"

"So what? I go back and live with them again, until I give in and kill them?" Nepht sat up, her anger gave her the desire to do so.

Manja sighed and burried her face in her hands as Nepht paused for a moment, she seemed to be onto something...

"Wait..."

The Nord looked up, wondering what she could possibly be up to.

"Huh?"

"Wasn't Nish attacked by vampires?"

Manja paused, how did she know...

Venficus...

"Y-Yeah..." Manja confirmed, though her voice had grown weaker.

"But he didn't turn..."

Nepht sighed, figures that she'd be that lucky...

"His wife on the otherhand..."

This got Nepht's attention; Eilonwyn was a vampire?

"You mean 'Eilonwyn?' Sh-She was a vampire?"

Manja nodded but then shook her head as this may have given her the wrong idea...

"She was after..." She paused and sighed heavily.

"We got into a fight, with a vampire lord...

'Dunlammus'

He bit her and drained her of everything before leaving her to die and flying away, my brother..." She sighed heavily, remembering that day clearly, surprisingly it didn't soften the blow of her actual death, it just made it worse.

"Nish went to pieces, went into some sort of... trance, that we couldn't break him out of. He thought that she was dead, until he saw her..."

The Nord sighed again, hanging her head at her own stupidity as she recalled their reactions. "She approached us, her eyes glowing, her cloathes soaked in blood...

We were so... Scared..."

Nepht continued to listen as she hung on to every word, she could sympathise with what this poor woman went through.

"She... Went into a frenzy and started attacking people, we didn't know about the blood lust, didn't know that we had seconds to react before..." The Nord stopped as Nepht already knew this and it just brought back painful memories.

"But... You saved her, right?" The Dunmer pried, she really wanted to get to that part.

Manja chuckled slightly, looking up at the young Dunmer girl with a smile.

"Actually, no...

It was Nish, who gave her that chance...

I took him back to the inn and layed him in a bed, I remember sleeping on a chair, next to him, with a knife on my lap, ready to stab my future sister in law, if she tried to visit my brother...

She came for him, so I took him out, to a cabin in the woods. The family who owned it took us in and let us use their beds, they even offered to defend it for us.

We were ready to fight to the death but...

Nish wouldn't have it, he woke up, snapped out of it and agreed to leave with her. None of us knew what she could have done to him but...

He trusted her that much...

Rowan doesn't get it but I do, Nish showed me that vampires..." She placed her hand on Nepht's stomach as her hands were bound before continuing.

"You can care about people and you can fight that blood lust but most importantly, you can be cured."

Nepht just stared at her, feeling an inspiration, that she hadn't felt in so long...

"You know how?"

"Yep... Well, I know someone who does." Manja replied, patting Nepht and removing her hand.

"Who?"

The Nord just chuckled as she turned away and went to check on Rowan.

"I have friends in the strangest of places..." She whispered as she left.
