Abel gripped the hard pine rail so hard that one could just barely pick out the off white of his bone flush against the skin of his knuckle, the cords of muscle wrapped around his forearms tense. The railing creaked ominously, squealing as though it were in pain. When the vampire adjusted his pale hands he revealed splintered indentations. His hirelings had taken in a smaller haul than usual, which as an aberration on disparate occasions was acceptable, this had become a consistent trend. Unacceptable.
He turned back and walked into his chamber, shutting the doors to the deck behind him. He changed into a tunic with a well oiled black leather belt strapped around his waist, feet clad in boots to the knee. The vampire promptly walked out of his suite into one of the myriad hallways of the small fortress, the heels of his boots clicking sharply against the stone ground. It was only a little after the sun dipped below the horizon and already chilly for those who could still feel the cold, though it was a dry and snowless cold. All there was on the ground of the courtyard of the building was ice and brick set into the ground to walk upon, as well as to preserve the wheels of the carriages that the slaves were transported in.
Abel let out a low whistle and a short, broad fellow dropped from the seven carriage caravan and pattered over to the taller man. Without word the vampire lifted up his hands and placed them on each side of the man's head and pressed his thumb over the man's eyes. Slowly, ever so slowly, while the small man screamed and plead those thumbs viced down through those orbs. The body dropped to the ground, bloody pits slowly seeping crimson. "Display the haul!" Abel shouted, deep voice reverberating off the walls of the compound, built into the side of the mountain as it was. The brutes Abel employed opened the carriage and prodded the freshly caught women with their swords, pushing, yelling, clearly unwilling to deal with any potential problem. Their employer ran a tight schedule.
While Abel surveyed the slaves he slowly sucked on his thumb, saving the coppery flavor of the blood and effluvium that had come from his underling's eyeballs. The corpse lay at the vampire's feet, redolent and relaxed, empty sockets staring nowhere.
