Yuki nodded, but her attention was taken by Jasper, who had suddenly spoken and then taken off. Yuki let out a slight huff. You won't find him. The one you call Morgan is under the house, not in it. At that point, Yuki merely walked to the estate, her demeanor showing no desire to actually find him, but she did, however, open the hatch in the floor of the great room, revealing a staircase underneath.
This one devolved much quicker than any of the others. Within two hours he'd already reached Level E status. I highly doubt that he is still alive. This thought portrayed little emotion whatsoever, it was a mere statement of fact. Halfway through her decent, however, Yuki turned back. She won't enter...
This was not elaborated on in any way, and she continued walking. The girl had been talking about Nikki, though, who was not present. She had stopped in the doorway, reaching it after the others were inside. At the moment, she was silently cursing herself. Despite her brother's need for help, she wasn't able to force ehrself beyond the the threshold. There were too many dark memories in this place for her, and they were threatening to overwhelm her.
It was when something of a cross between a scream and a yell reached her ears, and she recognized it as Morgan, that she was able to force herself to move. The sight that greeted her as she came vaulting down the steps was not a good one.
The room was very dark, lit only by a few candles on a table in the corner. There was a chess board there, and many, many books, papers strewn everywhere. A rattle of chains drew the attention towards the back wall, where Morgan stood. His eyes glowed red, and he struggled against the restraints as the group entered. He snarled, but didn't speak. His eyes showed no signs of recognition whatsoever.
Yuki tilted her head. How strange. None of the others ever lasted this long before, not after reaching this level.
Nikki, somehow able to recompose herself, turned to Yuki. "What's happeneing to him?"
Yuki regarded her with a blank yellow stare. It made Nikki shiver. He's starving. The serum is supposed to repress and hide the subject's vampiric instincts. If he survives, one would not be able to tell that he is a vampire. He will no longer have to survive on blood, be able to walk in the sunlight without any negitive effects, and his scent and aura will appear human. At least, in theory.
Nikki tilted her head. "In theory?"
Yuki nodded. No one has ever survived the serum before, therefore, it is impossible to know if it actually works. The subjects have always either fallen to level E and gone insane, or they starved to death before the serum worked its course. If he survives, he'll be the first, and only, to ever do so.
