"Nice try, pretty girl," the vampire leered at Kali. She just calmly glared back doing her best not to display the burning emotions in her gut. Her uncle's hand was firm on her back. He was right. She had begun to trust his even though she had promised herself she never would. He had not tried to help when her parents were killed, and he had personally killed her best friend but there was something about his charisma that kept her from hating him. Even now, as he gripped her tightly from behind, his soft smile and kind eyes made it nearly impossible for her to even dislike him.
"So you have decided to help us. How kind of you. Continue with the procedure," the lead vampire commanded and all the other vampires followed. Together, the vampires spread out into a circle around the twenty-four people standing there. Gently, they tapped a few symbols in the crook of their arms. Beams of light from the symbols flew out to the people in the circle. As one beam hit her, Kali felt a soft pressure in her mind that gently and carefully tried to blank out all her thoughts. It spread outwards and kept her from thinking clearly. Everything seemed blurred and annoying as she tried with all her might to concentrate. The beams of light grew larger, brighter and stronger and another symbol started to form above the group gathered below.
"Yes, people think, think with all you might. Your minds will power this machine and soon we will rule over everything," the vampire laughed maniacally. Then, Kali realized what she had to do. She imagined the emptiness in her mind to be coming from a soft, white light.Kali walked towards the light and relaxed into it. The light didn't bother her eyes or hurt her at all as Kali surrendered. Then, there was nothing. No thought, no sight, no feeling. It was as if everything in the world had ceased to exist and even her own consciousness was no longer there. The only thing that was left, was a vague idea of the person Kali.
