Kate has watched as the mage vampire tested Alyx's blood first. He explained to Kate that there was a process that vampires went through to prevent their bites from creating another vampire. The covens worked together to produced live offspring. Vampires were not as loathed and feared. The process was painful and had to be performed for years in childhood.<br/><br/>Nutrients and fresh blood was given interveiniously (sp?) and Kate was given a book on Vampires. The book covered lineage, care, feeding and history of the species.<br/><br/>As Alyx slept, he was brought to the Manor of Lord Lyons. There he was taken upstairs to a room across from Kate's. The widows faced the right side of the manor. A balcony over looked the side gardens, a white fence enclosed the pasture and out in the distance was the 500 acre lake.<br/>The room was very large and masculine in dÃ©cor. The four poster bed was make of dark wood with carved wildlife and a large rug was under the bed. The doors were oak.<br/>By the door that entered into the hall was a large desk with a bookshelf. Across the large bed was a fireplace and it was burning logs and on the mantle were books, large vase and figurines. Two glass French doors flanked the fireplace that led to the balcony.<br/>The room had its own privy and dressing area. A walk-in closed was not visible from the bed. There was a large dresser with mirror against the wall and two nightstands flanked the bed with large ornate oil lamps.<br/><br/>Kate heard the young man groan. She set her book down on the nightstand and looked over her charge. She was dressed in a long green wool skirt, a white blouse and Kelly green pull over sweater was over her blouse.<br/>She gives him a soft smile and speaks softly, "Good Morning Alyx is good to see you. I am not sure you remember me. I am Lady Katherine. You may call me Kate or Katie. "Would you like some food and tea? Ann our house keeper and cook made us breakfast."
