Churchill Hellrose sat on his new throne in the Hellrose manor dungeon. For the first time in thousands of years, it was quiet. There was no screaming, there was no barking of orders, there was no nothing. Just dead silence, and the gentle drips of water from a tap that was turned too tight. squeak Church turned his head, a mouse? He sighed and lowered his head. Church didn't mind the silence, but it was too lonely. He played with his previous masters ring, twirling it between his fingers. "Oh Garnet... you wretch. How unrefined of a person of such great status. You molded me into who I am today... You were such a lovely master... Why did you hurt me? Why..." Church bit his lip.
Killing one's own master was the greatest act of betrayal a fledgling could ever enact. If the ministry didn't exist, and the ancient vampire order learnt of such defiance. He'd surely be killed. Church lifted his head, perking his ears. "Ah, well hello there. How kind of you to check up on me Renard."
Renard was a member of the ministry, a go between messenger of sorts. Renard smiled. "Well hello there, Churchill." Church grinned. Renard continued. "I hate to disturb you on your pleasant evening but I've got to notify you of the ministry's warm welcome and that they're expecting great things from you. They'll be installing their labs and facilities within the manor soon." Church rested his head on his throne, looking up towards the ceiling. "Hmm, Renard. What do you think of those who disobey their Masters?" Church's grin shifted to a curious smile as he tilted his head to make sure he'd hear his answer. Renard smirked. "I think those that disobey the ministry are foolish and deserve death. That is my master, and that is my answer." Church chewed his lip. "I see. Disobedience is punishable by death. I'm all warm and fuzzy inside Renard." Renard smiled slyly and turned his back. "Well, as you were, Church." With that and the faint sound of wind Renard vanished.
Church continued to chew his lip, something in the back of his mind was nervous and afraid. He snorted. "What am I to be afraid of? I am Hellrose now." Church had grown thirsty as he sat for so long simply contemplating. He stood, just a little shaky. "I suppose I'll go out for a bite to drink." He said with an amused smile.
