    In the bowels of the Chapter House, Garrett Prosper leaned against the table with the assortment of tools, thinking. Elettra Vitale had requested her first lesson in understanding the Beast within a short time frame, and it was being granted. The Supplicant didn't appear particularly excited about it, attention distant as his fingers tapped methodically. The sleeves of his black button up were rolled and out of the way, not as casual as before but not exactly dressed up either. He hadn't bothered hiding the damage cemented into his flesh from an Embrace that did not come easily, his eyes almost looking bruised from the lack of blood flow, discoloration from the malnutrition and exposure.

    Beyond was one of their cages, for obvious use. Built to withstand supernatural force when delving into the Frenzy, not that he was thinking that would be required. The Slave didn't exactly scream combatant.

    He also had explained to her this wasn't a single night of forging experience.

    Elettra Vitale

    As Elettra heads down to meet Garrett she swallows back some of her nerves. She prepared herself as best she could but she knows the next few nights will be more difficult than she thinks. Elettra wears her normal jeans and fitted t-shirt. She approaches Garrett.

    She greets him with a simple, "Evening."

    Prosper's smile was tight, still getting used to the presence of her Beast but the shared Haven definitely expedited the process. "Good evening Elettra, hope your time has been well," he said, stepping back from the table. The Gangrel tilted his head, "Are you good for tonight? How have you prepared yourself?"

    With a nod, "Yes it has. I have been doing a lot of reading to find as much as I could. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet up with Atticus or the Grand Wyrm to talk to them though. I have prepared myself as much as I could mentally. Although, one cannot truly know what they'll go through until it happens."

    Prosper sniffs. Reading books was what he had mentioned at the meeting, so that was understandable. He had been hoping she would have at least bothered with testing her inner monster. Well, today was about experience, wasn't it?

    "That is true. That is unfortunate but certainly not your fault. Have a seat?" he said, gesturing to the chair next to the table of ugly looking tools.

    The Supplicant moved to start bolting the door, finishing with a padlock before pocketing the key.

    Elettra nods, takes a seat, and then nervously watches as Prosper starts locking up the door.

    Garrett tucks his hands in his pockets, stepping away from the door before flicking his gaze to the Mekhet with a faint smile.

    Contested to trigger Rötschreck in Elettra


    The Savage's will goes beyond the psyche of animals as Vitale's Beast is dragged out, kicking and screaming as invisible claws dig in; goading blind, stupid panic in the Kindred.

    Elettra Vitale

    As Garrett provokes Elettra's beast she can slowly begin to feel herself slipping away. She tries as hard as she can to hold on. But alas, her sense of self slips farther and farther away until nothing but the beast is left. All rational thought is gone and all she can feel is pure fear and the need to get away NOW. Elettra lunges to the door, pulling and yanking at the handle. Then clawing at the bolt, trying with all her might to free herself.


    Elettra turns around towards Garrett and lets out an animistic roar, "LET ME OUT!"

    Prosper seems unaffected by the sudden explosive panic. At Elettra's Bestial shouting as her face contorts from the mask of humanity, he wordlessly tosses the key into the cage with the magnetic remote lock. The movement is obvious enough for the animal to register where her short term escape was located.

    Requested Narration as per Steven


    The Frenzying Slave obeyed her instincts as the key to her freedom from the searing danger arched and clattered inside the cage, pouncing on it with precision and target focus. Her Beast snapped to attention as the mechanism locked from the fob Garrett had on his person, reeling in desperation from the Source that promised a Final Death. She clawed, kicked, even bit until her tooth chipped against the bars as she threw herself at the lock, the panic eroding her sanity from a relief that did not come.

    Ten minutes was a long time, and the Savage keeps his attention on his watch, taking unnecessary breaths to suppress his own disgust in the psychological torture he was forcing the young Kindred to experience. All her Beast understood is she was trapped and going to die. Rötschreck could last hours as a Kindred was whipped into their flight instincts, charging for blocks if they could. She had volunteered. She took the Oath.

    Right on the dot, he reached out as her Beast was reigned back into its invisible prison. Once Elettra has a moment to come back to her senses, her hands and face are torn from the force of her will. She heals as he speaks, that this is her prison that her own instincts lead her to, because the animal that drove her now was too stupid to recognize true survival. This was the purpose of Terror. This was the purpose of control.

    Time was spent in silence, allowing the woman to reflect on her new journey while Prosper retrieved a wicked blade from the table and slid it between the bars so it dropped at her feet, the echo filling the chamber that snuffed any cries.

    "You did not starve yourself at my request. The next is Hunger. You will have to bleed."

    Thanks for the great Scene Melissa !
