Will looked up to see Kari enter the room with the deranged cat. He began to frown; he was sure she would’ve gotten further, maybe even escaped by now.
“Welcome back Yiichi, Kari.” Lilith greeted them warmly, “I see you’re feeling better?”
Kari nodded, “I wanna know now how long you want me here.” She took in a breath and let it back out before saying, “I don’t wanna stay here. I was happier on the outside, and I’m sure me and Will could keep the bloodline going without staying in this city.”
Lilith was appalled by her short speech, “How could you say such things Kari?” She shook her head disapprovingly; “Your family is here with us, with me. I’ve waited so long to see you again.”
Kari scowled, “And why is that ‘Mom’? Why didn’t you just come to Gran and me earlier? What’s been holding you back all of this time?”
Lilith was at a loss for words so Will gave Kari the truth, “It was a court order, and she had to take a blood oath not to come in contact with you again. Now that she’s broken that, it’s only a matter of time until the Council finds out.”
A low hiss escaped Lilith’s lips, “That was a false charge. The council went too far!”
Will continued, “She was found turning innocent humans into vamps in an effort to create an army of newborns to overthrow the Council. Lilith here wanted to rule the worlds.”
Vincent hit Will across the face with a metal bar he had been holding. Will picked his head back up slowly.
“Then, with all do respect, I wish to leave.” Kari said going over to Will, “And he comes with me to the surface.”
Lilith began laughing, “I’m still in charge my sweet daughter. And you won’t be going anywhere.”
She signaled for Vincent to grab Kari and two more bodyguards to contain Will. They did as ordered and began to leave the room.
“Hey! Let me go! Where the hell are you taking us?” Kari screamed.
Will looked over at her through a black eye, “Just go with the flow, everything will be fine Kari. Please don’t struggle.”
Lilith took her seat behind her desk, “Listen to what he says dear.” She lit a cigar; “I think you two should have some time to bond a little more; so I’m locking you both in a special part of the dungeon.”
Yiichi finally spoke, “Don’t you think that’s a bit much, My Lady?”
Lilith looked at her curiously, “When did you start caring Yiichi? Yes, I think it’s perfectly right.”
“Of course. I apologize for intruding My Lady.” Yiichi bowed and left with Will and Kari.
…

I could tell, just by the looks of the dungeon, that vamps really lived life to its fullest. Why am I saying this? The dungeons were freaking tricked out, that’s why!
Will sat on a loveseat opposite of the comfy chair that I claimed. Our prison was an oriental themed room, with Kanji on the walls and red and black colors for everything. A small fridge fit snugly beside the stove in the corner kitchen. There were three other rooms beside the kitchen; the living room, bathroom, and one—count em’—one bedroom. This whole thing was making me skeptic. It was more like a honeymoon sweet than a prison.
“What in hell’s name were they thinking when they built their prison’s like this?” I asked Will, trying to break the silence.
He looked up at me in surprise, “Most Nosferatu don’t misbehave, so prison was made for the purpose of reminding the prisoner of life on the outside. It’s basically intended to drive someone mad.”
I nodded, “Oh. That makes a lot of sense.”
“And this cage we’re in now is basically a breeding room. I didn’t want to say anything earlier.” He finished mournfully, bowing his head.
I was at a loss for words; it took me a minute to finally come up with something, “What the hell does she want from us both?”
Will shrugged, “Pureblood children?”
“Ewww…” I shivered.
“Well…I guess she just assumed that fucking each other was the only thing on our minds. She’s such a one-track woman; if she’s even a woman at that.” He chuckled at himself.
“Ok. So what are we supposed to do now? I’m sure they’re watching us from hidden cameras. They’ll probably kill us if we don’t get it on soon.” Everything was looking to be a downer. The last thing I wanted to do with Will was the nasty.
He shrugged again to my amazement, “Pretend?”
I squinted at him, “How the hell do you plan to pull that off without them knowing dumbass?”
“What? You want to do the real thing? It’s that or get a spoon and start digging up.” His voice was growing more agitated.
I sighed, “I’m sorry for upsetting you Will.”
He froze, “What are you talking about?”
“You sounded annoyed at me. I know I’m not making things any better than they already are.”
Will got up and came over, pulling me into his arms,” Please don’t be like that.” He whispered in my ear, “We have to work together if we want to get out of this hell-hole.”
I nodded, “Alright. No more emo stuff.”
I could feel him smiling, “Good. Now look at me.”
His eyes met mine and stayed there as he bent down and kissed me again. It was better this time; he pulled me tighter to him, almost to the point where I couldn’t breathe. I waited for him to stop, but he kept it going on and on until I heard a cough from behind us.
We broke apart quickly to see Yiichi sitting on the low, glass table. Obviously, we just ruined her evening dinner.
“Hi Yiichi.” I grinned, still out of breath from the whole kissing ordeal, “What brings you to the honeymoon sweet?”
She gave us both a dead stare, “My evening meal is ruined. Thank you.”
How did I know these things? That last guess wasn’t even due to having precognition.
“I’m sorry. We got kind of caught up.” I apologized.
“Quit apologizing. We don’t have time, if you want to escape from this place, you will listen carefully to me.” She scratched her left ear once and looked back up at us, “You don’t have to pretend anything. I’ve had the guards disable the cameras and put in some ‘re-recorded taping’ instead. What will look like you two ‘getting it on’ will cover up what we’re really doing.”
Will looked at her astonished, “How did you get the guards to agree to this?”
Yiichi gave us a cat smile, “They want a new order in the Nosferatu city; they’re turning against Lilith.” She shook her head, “No time for this. I better shift.”
Before anyone could ask what she meant, Yiichi jumped off the table and faded into a human-like shape. When she faced us, she still had the same golden eyes, but her skin was albino white and she had short black hair, cropped an inch below her ears. Her outfit was a silk, black top with a moon crescent in the center and a pair of matching, poofy Capri pants. For a little flair, she had ribbons crisscrossing down her legs and arms.
“Wow.” I said, still trying to recover from my amazement.
Will shook his head, “So how exactly do we get out of here?”
She grinned, “Through the door.”
As if on cue, two guards opened the double set of steel doors out of the room and bowed as Yiichi made her way out.
“Aren’t you coming?” She called after us.
Thinking that they would close the doors back on us, we hurried after her. The guards smiled warmly at us.
“Creepy…” I whispered trying to catch up to Yiichi.
