"What did you use the Nullshade for?" asked the councilman.
"I gave it to her." He pointed to the maid. "She works inside the house while I work outside. Since they do not take blood from the workers outside, I decided to team up with her. Tell him what they did to you, Katie," he encouraged the girl, who had been silent the whole time.
The councilman turned his eyes back to the girl, who then began to shake as she started to recount her experience with the people of the house.
"When he told me to forget that he took my blood," she said, referring to Rav, "I forgot it then and couldn't even remember it happened until I went to sleep last night and suddenly began to see flashes of the memories because of the pill I had swallowed. He took my blood in a jar and drank from it, and took more to take away..." She shuddered, as if she couldn't believe it, then raised the sleeve of her dress to show the spot she had been bitten and cut for blood.
