"No matter?" Darcy repeated. "<i>No matter</i>? If you don't think this matters, then you don't know enough about anything." The blonde vampire approached him and gripped him by the shirt. She was far from afraid of him; he needed her, after all, and as much as he hated her, he'd have much larger problems to handle if the leaders found out. He wasn't strong enough to take on a group like that...or at least, Darcy hoped she never saw the day that he<i>did </i>become that strong. She believed in the cause, but that didn't mean she had to be friends with its creation -- and that's all he was to her: a creature.<br/><br/>"Lydia Cleur is my boss. The<i>owner </i>of the Coven, and more importantly, one of the most influential vampires in Onyxport." She gripped the fabric a little tighter, nails digging in deep. "And not only that -- she's working with an Enforcer, and she<i>hates</i>Enforcers, and for good reason. For one, they're nosy as all hell, which is exactly what we don't need."<br/><br/>Darcy released him and walked a few steps back, then paced a few steps and brought her palm to her forehead. "Look, back when you were messing around on different territory, around Carpe Noctem, it didn't matter so much. But on Coven lands...," she paused, shaking her head in exasperation, annoyed to have to be lecturing him in the first place, "...you can't be so reckless."<br/><br/>Sighing heavily, she looked the creature -- "Sam", they called him -- dead in the eye. Oh, how she would<i>love</i>to be done with him. For now, though, she was stuck playing babysitter, finding him his meals. She didn't have much control over the matter, either. "Listen. The Coven attracts the perfect prey. But if you want to continue finding your targets there, you're going to have to be more patient. No more kills near the club; we'll find a target, then lure them somewhere far, far enough that connections to the club won't be so damn obvious."<br/><br/>She paused, thinking for a moment, before glaring daggers at him. "Also...what happened to the redhead? You were supposed to finish her off tonight, but I saw her walking back into the club, wearing Lydia's cloak...and she was turned. You better explain what happened earlier." Lydia and the Enforcer had only mentioned Helena, but Alex's presence in the club was enough to raise suspicion, regardless of whether or not they brought it up in conversation. She'd have to ask Lydia about it later, to gauge just how much she knew, but for now, there was Sam's side of the story.
