Jason walked into the foyer of the mansion. The sight was breathtaking. Just the room itself was maybe three-times the size of his apartment, with a staircase winding down from the second floor on each side of the room.
The foyer was empty, except for a woman descending the stairs. She wore a long white revealing dress, with a white fur wrapped around her neck, and white high heels. A very high-society look.
"Who are you? How did you get in here?"
The rest of Jason's clan came in from behind him.
"We're the new guys," Jason answered, with a smile. He sniffed the air. There were no humans in this house, so the woman on the stairs must have been a vampire. He walked up to her.
She looked at him uncertainly. "Which clan are you from?"
"Mine."
"That's impossible. You're not one of the elders."
Jason reached out and touched her pale neck. "Tell me. What happens if a vampire tries to turn another vampire?"
"That's forbidden. It's against the rules."
"Yes, yes. But what happens?"
"I ... I don't know," she said. She was clearly scared. This type of situation wasn't supposed to happen. All of the clans had an understanding with each other. But this wasn't one of the clans. This one was new. Which was impossible, because every new vampire had to obey their elder. But this vampire wasn't. In fact, he proclaimed himself as an elder. The fact that she couldn't control what was happening ... that was what scared her.
"Well, let's see," Jason said. He pushed her against the wall, and bit into her neck.
Her eyes glazed over for a moment, then cleared. She turned and looked at Jason, then grinned.
"What is your name?" Jason asked.
"Elizabeth."
"And who is your elder?"
"You are," she said breathlessly.
Jason smiled. "Good. Come with me." He turned back for a moment. "Lisa, you come with me too." Lisa bounded up the stairs and grabbed onto one of Jason's arms, as Elizabeth grabbed the other.
Then they walked upstairs.
