'I am running as soon as my feet hit the floor. Cursing myself for not paying attention to the area around me. It was luck that had stopped me from being shot and captured by the Jäger I had spoken to. Luck is not something I enjoy.'

'I should have sense the Eiferer team from the alley floor. Even with the damn moon as it is. I am the leader of the Schützer! I am the heir to the throne of my clan and I was almost captured by the very thing I prey upon. I feel shame burning on my cheeks and I flee towards my house.'

'It is very close to the third hour. No one in the streets around me notice my extreme hast. Nor does anyone see my speed. There is no truth in the myths of humans, which tell that Vampires can change into bats. We share a percentage of DNA with bats; from our species origin this should be clear. But we hold no shape-shifting abilities. Our speed, though, that is similar to bats. This is one development that the Eiferer have not mastered for their selves.'

'I reach my house as the clock strikes the third. I enter through the east side door. So as not to attract attention to my arrival, this I will do soon enough. The room I enter into is brightly lit and full of people. My cousins, the other members of the Eiferer, these people are my fellows Schutzengels. These people are my fellow guardian angels. These people are my friends.'

'I look around them and see the common laziness if post feed Vampires. It turns my stomach, my entire race takes this casualness as the moon wanes and I myself proved it. That memory disgusts me. I am Ebony Ezix, heir to the house of Ezix and leader of the Eiferer. I should never have been that lax.'

"On your feet! This is not a rest home!"

'These people may be my friends but they are also under my command. I will not be made fool of twice in one night.
