"Where are we? Have any of you found that bitch or the wimpy vampire?"
"Some of the less worthy Coven members are on their way to a shack that we suspect they are hiding out at in the slums. Those Coven members are also getting help from the Hellhounds."
"Good, they need to be captured!" Ricardo said, looking over to Bill, a werewolf that was working with Ricardo now. "Get the new slaves ready, they will kill these people if they wish to survive. They are to weak right now, they must be stronger, prepare Ando as well. If any refuse more than once then rip them apart!"
"Yes sir," Bill said, before bowing and leaving.

"There will end up being a fight but you all know what to do. You must be prepared for anything though, you never know what these people will have in store for us," Calypso said.
"We must all be quiet and careful, no one can see us. Do not let any of the Anubis see you either, that is very important. They are the Gods of Death and they will kill you on the spot, no questions asked and no regrets," Nick said.
"How do we know if we see an Anubis?" Mira asked, frightened but trying to get as much information as she could.
"They are easy to tell apart from all the other creatures due to their pyramid shaped heads. They wear white robes or black pants and carry long, rusted serrated knives. Also they are tall and muscular. Anubis are executioners, they can sense guilt or the want of punishment, so keep your minds clear," Nick said.
We all quickly changed in discreet, all black clothing so we could blend into the shadows more. Then we each had to put in contacts to keep our eyes from glowing in any light. With our weapons hidden, we left the shack and snuck through the slums, heading towards the Diavolo Coven house. We saw many Anubis on the way, they were very scary looking, and we heard the packs of Hellhounds in the distance.
As we stopped behind another shack, sticking to the shadows, to take a breather we smelled smoke. We kept looking around until we spotted where the smoke was coming from. A shack was engulfed in flames and it was the one we were hiding out in just a couple hours ago.
"It had to of been caused by Ricardos little minions! We need to keep moving, we are still almost an hour away," Nick said, urging us to get moving.
Within an arms reach of the Coven house we were stopped dead in our tracks by a Hellhound, the old cob webbed covered door just behind it. At first none of us moved an inch but then suddenly Mira reached into her bag. It seemed as though she had come prepared as she tossed whatever she got out on the ground in front of the Hellhound. It seemed to enjoy this as it sniffed the offering and then gobbled it up. Mira then surprised us by slowly inching forward with her hand held out.
"Mira! What are you doing? NO!" Nick said, in a raised whisper, frightened for her.
Mira waved her hand back at Nick to hush him up. The Hellhound sniffed Miras hand before lowering its head, allowing Mira to pet her.
"What the hell!" Nick yelled, before lowering his voice again. "Hellhounds only respond to Demons and they never lower their heads for anyone, not even their masters. What did you do?"
"I did a lot of research before we left, more than you ever cared to show us," Mira said, accusingly looking at Calypso, the Hellhound standing close to her. "You have to know what they want, what they really want outside of the blood lust they have towards everyone. I looked into her mind and gave her what she has been wanting. You also can't show them any fear. She has made all of the other Hellhounds stay off our trail and she is willing to help us. They are very intelligent creatures you know."
"Wow...just wow," Nick said, shaking his head.
We followed the Hellhound into the Coven house and through very small, dusty corridors. We slowly walked into a room that looked like a living room but with two cells in the middle, blood visible on the floors of the cells. We did not expect to find Loka, Anika, and Colton standing perfectly still, just staring at us. They seemed to not know whether to fight or run over to us.
Calypso stood just behind Nick, confused for a split second by her surroundings. How could it have changed so much? Why was it here in the Underworld and not in Venice? Better yet, why does she have visions of this place but not actually remember any of it?
