Story Recap[]
As LaCroix and Nick nurse Vachon back to health after "Ashes to Ashes", they begin to find their way back to each other.
Notes[]
- "The Human Factor" never happened. The story ends with events from "Last Knight"
- Beta-read by Cousin Shelley, who suggested the title.
- The author uses the term "fledgling" for young vampires.
- In the world of this story, young vampires have little control; and, even in medieval times, their masters often confined them in underground chambers because of the risks to the Code. Major cities had ruling Elders who forbade making new vampires without their permission.
Quotes[]
LaCroix gestured for [Nick] to follow. In the parlor, the Roman easily moved aside a solid oak bookcase laden with books. Nick noted the slight upward angle of the shelves, which would prevent the books from tumbling to the floor when the shelf was moved. That was the only indication that the shelf was hiding something. It would take several mortals to move it, and they would have scuffed the hardwood floor in the process. LaCroix simply lifted the entire bookcase and moved it a few yards away, revealing the trap door. LaCroix lifted the trap door (which weighed almost as much as the bookcase), while Nick opened the trunk. Lifting Vachon's comatose body, he headed into the basement.
