[ One of the needles gets a loud hiss, and as Enid furiously writes, Trevor's hand goes to Alucard's. Slowly, gently, and it surprises him as much as anyone when it happens. Why did it happen? This is a vampire. He knows that. That's why he brought him here.
The sister next to him snatches his hand back. The tallest of them breathes in deeply, chainmail clicking against itself as she does, and her glare seems to being the temperature of the hold lower and cause the lights to flicker.
Disgusting.
Trevor withers under his eldest sister's judgmental gaze, even as his youngest offers what might have been words of comfort were any of them true. (Vampires have this power over humans. They draw their prey in. They lie to them. There is no shame in falling victim to this terrible spell. Even soiled, he is still loved.). The Morning Star comes down, sharply, with cracking of bone and sizzling of flesh and a horrible roar of agony.
It's only when that sound dies down that Leontine's voice comes again, somehow both serene and filled with a fury that could melt steel.
Listen to that. Clean yourself. Replace every lie he has every spoken with that noise. Replace every filthy touch with the whip. I will not lose my brother to a vampire's spell. ]
