Beren smiled as Mrs. Carlington excused herself. Beren shook his head as Sophia went on, "Trust me it is no problem... I-"<br/><br/>Beren was interrupted as Sophia stood up and looked in the distance and spoke.<br/><br/>"What?"<br/><br/>Beren spun around as Sophia began to move away from him. Something was very wrong. With his unnatural speed Beren stood in front of her and looked into her eyes. She had a distant look, Beren cursed and grabbed her shoulders keeping eye contact.<br/><br/>"Sophia, snap out of it!"<br/><br/>Sophia shook a little, her eyes returning to normal, "What?"<br/><br/>Beren quickly waved a hand, "You were feeling a little dizzy, are you sure you are well?"<br/><br/>Beren walked Sophia back to her spot and heard Mrs. Carlington coming back. He quickly sat back down and smiled as she came back in.<br/><br/>"I was just asking Sophia a favor, you see my niece is coming for a visit and I am afraid I need to find a companion for her. She is 18 and well I fear she will find me rather boring seeing as I have business to attend to. So I was asking Miss Carlington here if she wouldn't mind being her companion."<br/><br/>Beren smiled at the look on Sophia's face and her mothers. He doubted they were expecting this.<br/><br/>"I know this is rather short notice and all but Miss Revora is out of town on urgent business and I have no one else to ask." Beren made an apologetic look. He knew Miss Revora as she was another Vampire that was indeed away. He also mentioned her to make Mrs. Carlington think there was some competition she needed to deal with. And Miss Revora was a wealthy very attractive woman. Just the type to make Mrs. Carlington make a hasty decision to get her daughter on Beren. He almost grinned, he knew how to play this game. Though he was worried..... very worried. Whatever was hunting Sophia had some strange arts and Beren wanted to keep her close, especially with this attempt. He would contact Vincent and ask him later.
