Snow shifted uneasily after the dismissive comment of him being so easily tricked. He wanted to believe Fa-Noon merely had used him to make money and had no other darker alternative motives beyond that. The young male bit his lip glanced downward, knowing full well, no matter how hard he fought, he would never be able to get back to the innocent, sheltered, carefree life he had before.<br/><br/>The question as to whether he wanted to live pricked him hard... and he shuddered, remembering the rasping sound of the dagger as he was forced to kneel over a basin to catch his blood.<br/><br/>"...yes..." he said at last. He glanced upward toward Serafima.... he missed being caressed, and petted by his former master, but Red Eyes didn't seem the sort that would give that sort of attention... at least not to creature as himself, not to mention he had he threatened to kill her and ever worse he had succeeded in killing Cortez and several of his guards! now he was no longer viewed as companion or plaything, he was a monster<br/><br/>Even though he appeared and felt like a mere frightened innocent blue eyed young male... he felt she would only see his inner beast, now... one that had been dormant for since he was twelve... he had gone ten years without shifting ... he had never known his power or how large the dragon had grown! He never imagined he would have to the power to kill! For a moment he had felt invisible, and he had been drunk on that power...but now he all to aware that he was helpless against the magic they had bound him with... and that if they wanted, the vampires could quite easily decide that he wasn't worth keeping alive!<br/><br/>Snow lowered his head in a submissive posture,  "I will do as Red Eyes commands," he said weakly.  "Since the Beautiful Red Queen saved my life... and has given me to you... I will serve you... until you die... or I do,"  he said at last... in a low somber voice.
