Redemption

Luca sat musing before the fire while he watched the glowing embers leap and dance as if trying to break away for freedom from their stony prison. Balanced between two fingers a glass was held by its long stem, while dark red liquid sloshed within. He raised his other hand in a beckoning gesture which swept through the darkness of the room. "Ivana! Monica! Come!" His voice held a steal sense of command but it was not raised above normal speaking level, and yet it rippled through the air like a whip crack, demanding response.

The two figures would come from the shadows to kneel gracing each side of his chair. A plaintive smile curled upon his lips as he looked to each, and his finger tips would grace the top of each of their heads. "My dears" He said softly in almost a purr, his eyes making swift examination of each of them, they were both well chosen. "How would you like a chance at redemption?"

Their eyes both lifted to him. It was almost unheard of that one whom was punished for committing a sin against the Blood would ever be released from their bonds, and their bodies quaked in anticipation not daring to speak, unless some trick lie behind this, lest it be a game but they could not deny the initial excitement. They were as eager as hounds wishing to please a beloved master, and for all their past suffering, eternally grateful if this opportunity were graced upon them.

Luca tilted back his head and laughed softly, while his eyes looked up to the ceiling above. He could feel their presence and smell their anxiety, their doubts, fears and hopes, all but taste it upon his lips. "I am going to be sending you away to serve another. You will obey your new Mistress with unquestioned perfection but as you do so, you will watch all she does, hear all she says, and know all she knows. You will know everyone who comes into and goes out of her house. You will catch her every word, and all words spoken to her. You will commit everything you know to memory. You must not record anything she could find. And when the time is right, I will find the means to communicate to you, and you will tell me everything and leave nothing out. If you do well, you will be rewarded with your freedom."
