Tela nodded. She started up the stairs but stopped abruptly. She could sense someone watching them. She shook it off and went on.

In the shadows Turi watched his sister. He wasn't himself. He had been brain washed and tricked into to believing the exact opposite. He was told that the witch named Hikari had brainwashed Tela and that she was really a slave.
Turi moved quickly out of the shadows. He grabbed Tela and tried to pull her back with him.
Tela let out a yell. HShe turned to face her brother. He could have easily past off as her. "Turi, please, don't do this." she said as she fought feverently to get free of his grasp. It was to no avail. He wouldn't let go but Tela did stop him from being able to get her in the shadows.
Inside the cavern Turi sat beside his unconscious sister. He smoothed the hair out of her eyes. He was really glad to see his sister.
The vampire walked in. "Turi, I see you saved your sister from that evil witch who brainwashed her." He said. Turi nodded. "She's beautiful...alright." the vampire said looking Tela over.
The vampire ran his fingers lightly over Tela's cheek, along her jaw, and down her neck stopping at her collarbone.
Turi smiled. He was happy that he not only pleased his master but saved his sister.
Tela's eyes fluttered open. She glanced around. Once she noticed her brother she sat up. "Turi, is it really you?" she asked.
Turi nodded as they hugged.
