(I don't know what's going on, but i understand Ray is missing and Vlad would be helping search.)
Vlad was hurrying through the woods with Lilly and Willow close behind.
"That little fool, he doesn't understand what will happen if the the reaper or Bite find him." Vlad growled as he searched for tracks.
"He's just a kid, for god's sake, of course he doesn't know." Willow said
"Yes but i know what the reapers servants do to their chosen victims. He won't die right away, but it will be slow and painful beyond imagination. Bite will play with his "new toy" until he gets bored and tosses Ray's lifeless body in with the rest of his old "toys"."
"Then we have to hurry." Lilly said quickly looking threw a bush. Vlad stopped searching as an idea popped into his head.
"There is one thing we could try..." Vlad said and pulled out a knife from his sleeve.
"Vlad no! You said you wouldn't..." willow started but Vlad raised his hand for silence.
"I know what i said...but if Bite appears i feel our skill and teamwork won't be enough. We may have to use other means..." Vlad said observing the knife.
"But..."
"You have your crosses, right? Should i lose it?"
"...yes i do." Lilly said holding out an iron cross.
"Lilly!" Willow complained
"Willow he's right. He almost got killed last time he fought Bite and if a reaper appears as well...we may all die." Lilly said trying to hold back the fear.
"Then it is settled, i will start with only a little, but if Bite shows or a reaper...then i'm holding nothing back." Vlad said and stabbed the only slightly into the palm of his left paw. Vlad grit his teeth and held it out letting the blood drip.
"Dark lord and master of sin hear my call, i ask for a servant to find the one called Ray, who hides from us all." Vlad said this two more time before he finally got a response.
"Your wish is granted my son..." a deep and evil voice sounded in Vlad's head as the blood that had pooled from his paw began to bubble and move. It slowly grew and pulsed as arms began reaching out of it. Eventually took shape in the form of a small demonic looking creature with wings.
"An imp...how apropriate. Now go find Ray and if he is hurt by you in anyway or sees you i will rip your wings off." Vlad commanded and the little demon saluted, took the form of a raven and flew off.
