   A silence fell between us。 There was no sound except the crackling of the torch in its sconce high on the wall。
   Again I tried to read her mind�察�but I could not。 It was not only my weakness。 It was a resolute quality in her just now。 For though she loved me�察�there were thoughts conflicting in her�察�and a wall had been thrown up to keep me from knowing what they were。
   ;Bianca�察─�I said in a low voice�察 �you saw the transformation in Amadeo�察�but did you really understand�拭�
   ;I did�察�my lord�察─�she said。
   ;You can guess the source of his strength forever after that night�拭�
   ;I know it�察�my lord�察─�she answered。
   ;I don't believe you�察─�I said gently。 ;You dream when you say you know。;
   ;Oh�察�but I do know�察�Marius�察�As I have only just reminded you�察�I recall only too well how you came into my very bedchamber thirsting for my blood。;
   
   
   She reached out to touch the sides of my face in consolation。  I put up my gloved hand to stop her。
   ;I knew then�察─�she said�察 �that you fed upon the dead somehow。 That you took their souls�察�or perhaps only their blood。 I knew then it was one or the other�察�and the musicians who fled that banquet at which you'd slain my kinsmen´they spoke of your giving my unfortunate cousins a kiss of death。;
   I gave a low soft laugh。
   ;How veiy careless I was�察�and believed myself to be so masterly。 What a strange thing。 And no wonder is it that I have fallen so far。;
   I took again a deep breath�察�feeling the pain all through me�察�and the thirst unbearably。 Had I ever been that powerful creature who so  dazzled many that he could slaughter a gathering of mortals and no one would dare accuse save in whispers�拭�Had I ever。 。 。 �拭�But there was too much to remember�察�and for how long would I remember before even the smallest part of my power was restored��
   But she was staring at me with brilliant inquisitive eyes。
   Then came from my lips the truth which I could no longer hide。
   ;It was the blood of the living�察�beautiful girl�察�always the blood of the living�察─�I said desperately。 ;It is the blood of the living and only the blood of the living and must be the blood of the living�察�do you  understand�拭�It's how I exist and always have existed since I was taken out of mortal life by malicious and disciplined hands。;
   She made a small frown as she stared at me�察�but she did not look away。 Then she nodded as if to tell me that I might go on。
   ;e close to me�察�Bianca�察─�I whispered。 ;Believe me when I tell you that I existed when Venice was nothing。 When Florence had not risen�察�I was alive。 And I cannot linger long here suffering。 I must find blood to restore me。 I must have it。 I must have it as soon as I can。;
   Again she nodded。 She stared at me as firmly as before。 She was shivering�察�and she brought up out of her clothes a linen handkerchief and wiped at her tears。
   What could these words mean to her�拭�They must have sounded like old poetry。 HOW could I expect her to grasp what I had said��
   Her eyes never wavered。
   ;The Evil Doer�察─�she confessed suddenly。 ;My lord�察�Amadeo told me�察─�she whispered。 ;I cannot play the game any longer that I don't know。 You feed upon the Evil Doer。 Don't be angry。 Amadeo confided his secret a long time ago。;
   I was angry。 Instantly and pletely�察�I was angry�察�but what did it matter�拭�Hadn't this dreadful catastrophe swept everything in its path��
   So Amadeo had confided the secret to our beauteous Bianca after all his tears and promises to me� �So I had been the fool for confiding in a mere child。 So I had been the fool to let Santino live� �What did it matter now��
   She had grown still and was staring at me yet�察�her eyes full of the fire of the torch�察�her lower lip trembling�察�and a sigh ing out of her as though she was about to cry again。
   ;I can bring the Evil Doer here to this chamber�察─�she said�察�her face quickening。 ;I can bring the Evil Doer down these very steps。;
   ;And suppose such a being should overpower you before you have reached this place�察─�I said in a low voice�察 �how then should I establish any justice or revenge�拭�No�察�you cannot take such a risk。;
   ;But I will do it。 Rely upon me。; Her eyes grew brighter and it seemed she looked about�察�as though absorbing the beauty of the walls。 ;H��ow long have I kept your secret�拭�I don't know�察�only that nothing could pry it from me。 And no matter what others suspected never did I betray you with one word。;
   ;My precious�察�my darling�察─�I whispered。 ;You will not take such risks for me。 Let rne think now�察�let me use whatever powers of mind still remain to me。 Let us sit here in quiet。;
   She seemed perturbed and then her face hardened。
   ;Give me the Blood�察�my lord�察─�she said suddenly�察�her voice low and quick。 ;Give it to me。 Make me what you made Amadeo。 Make me a blood drinker�察�and then I will have the strength to bring the Evil Doer to you。 You know it is the way。;
   I was pletely caught off guard。
   I cannot say that in my burnt soul I had not thought of this very action´I had thought of it immediately when I had heard her weeping´but to hear it e from her own lips�察�and with such spirit�察�that was more than I had ever expected�察�and I knew as I had known from the beginning that it was the perfect plan。
   But I must think on this� �Not only for her sake�察�but for my own。 Once the magic had worked in her´assuming that I had the strength to give it´how then would we�察�two weak blood drinkers�察�hunt the city of Venice for the blood we needed and then make the long journey North��
   As a mortal she might have brought me to the Alpine pass of Those Who Must Be Kept by means of a wagon and armed guards�察�whom I might have left in the small hours to visit the chapel alone。
   As a blood drinker�察�she would have to sleep by day with me�察�and therefore we would both be at the mercy of those who transported the sarcophagi。
   In my pain�察�I could not imagine it。
   I could not take all the steps necessary。 Indeed�察�it seemed suddenly that I could think of nothing�察�and shaking my head�察�I tried to prevent her from embracing me�察�from frightening herself all the more by embracing me and feeling the stiff dried creature that I had bee。
   ;Give me the Blood�察─�she said again with urgency。 ;You have the strength to do it�察�don't you�察�my lord�拭�And�察�then I shall bring here all the victims you require� �I saw the change in Amadeo afterwards。 He didn't have to show me。 I will be that strong�察�will I not�拭�Answer me�察�Marius。 Or tell me�察�tell me how else I may cure you�察�or heal you�察�or bring you fort in this suffering that I see。;
   I could say nothing。 I was trembling with desire for her�察�with anger at her youth ´ at the conspiracy of her and Amadeo against me that he had told her ´ arid consumed with desire for her here and now。
   Never had she seemed more alive�察�more purely human�察�more utterly natural in her rosy beauty ´ a thing not to be despoiled。
   She settled back as if she knew that she had pushed me a little too hard。 Her voice came softer�察�yet still insistent。
   ;Tell me again the story of your years�察─�she said�察�her eyes blazing。 ;Tell me again of how it was that Venice did not exist or Florence either when you were already Marius�察�tell me this story once more。;
   I went for her。
   She couldn't have escaped。
   In fact I think that she tried to escape。 Surely she screamed。
   No one outside heard her。 I had her too quickly for that�察�and we were too deep in the golden room。
   Pushing the mask a。side and covering her eyes with my left hand�察�I sank my teeth into her throat�察�and her blood came into me in a rush。 Her heart pounded faster and faster。 And just before it made to stop I drew back from her�察�shaking her violently and crying out against her ear
   ;Bianca�察�wake� �
   At once I slashed my tight dried wrist until I saw the seam of blood and this I forced across her open mouth against her tongue。
   
   
   I heard her hiss and then she clamped her mouth�察�only to moan hungrily。 I drew back the burnt unyielding flesh and cut it open once again for her。
   Oh�察�it was not enough for her´I was too burnt�察�too weak´and all the while her blood went on a rampage through me�察�forcing its way into the collapsed and burnt cells that
