lazarus stepped opened the cemetary gate and stepped out on to the sidewalk. he looked around memorizing the surroundings. it was his first night in the city and he descided he had better report to the prince to announce his arrival.
he walked down the main drag...it was crowded as most large cities are..he didnt like it but descided he couldnt change it either. he also descided that he needed to start conducting his experiments tonight as well..so his agenda changed from finding the prince..to finding a subject. he was an expert at this and easily found a target... a lone traveler..a woman in her early twenties. he was several feet infront of her and hid in a near by alley way. as she walked by he stepped out and fallowed her...about 10 feet back. as she left the larger portion of the crowd he made his move. swiftly pulling out his dagger (he doesnt use conventional weapons) he wraped an arm around her throat and placed the dagger to her back as he whispered softly in her ear. "do not scream...do not run...and you will not be hurt" he was lieing of course...this girl would probably not live through the night. she nodded whimpering softly and only said "please dont hurt me."
he led her back through the crowd and up the sidewalk to the cemetary. she began to cry as she was shoved through the doors and into his haven. "stop crying" he said softly. she was pushed deeper into the room and then shoved onto a table..with shackles. he carefully and painlessly shackled her to the table at her wrists and ankles...she was sobbing uncontrolably now...but lazarus didnt mind. he removed his jacket and took his dagger out again...running the blade across her cheak...a line of blood forming on it as he did. she began to scream...but he only smiled softly at her. "your a very lucky girl you know" he said softly "you are doing a great thing tonight...you are furthering science". he took the blade and cut the front of her blouse open removeing it from her body...he did the same for her pants and the rest of her clothes...she lay there naked on the cold stone slab. she screamed loudly..her face covered in her blood from the cut on her cheak. "please dont do this" she cried. he looked down on her again and said softly "im not goingto rape you my dear so please do not be afraid" his words were always calm and soothing...the woman stopped crying and laid there motionless.
he placed his hand on her forehead and murmered a few words to himself. he looked down on her again and in the same soft voice said "now comes the true horror of life my dear....death" her eyes opened wide as he slashed her left cheak spilling blood on the nearby wall and on the slab and the floor. she screamed loudly but he did not stop. he began to carve rune symbols into her face...she was no longer the beauitiful woman she was earlier that night...but she was still very very much alive. she screamed in pain and begged him to stop..to just let her die...but he only looked at her with soft eyes and a warm smile. he took the dagger and slashed her left arm...the cut split her sholder almost to the bone..again she screamed begging for death. but her cries would get no reply. lazarus was deep into his work now..methodically..and expertly. when he was done cutting her he looked her over...she was still alive..but without the energy to scream..her belly slashed open intestines hanging out. he looked down at her with those soft deep eyes and said "now you may die my dear" he leaned over and drank all of the blood left in her body.
now it was time to remove her vital organs and sew her back together. her cut out all of her vitals..excludeing the brain..then sewed everything up. he unclasped her and laid her on the ground. after doing so he got out one of his many books and flipped to the right page...and read the word of power. the body slowly began to rise from the ground. lazarus smiled warmly...his first new servant in this new town.............
