He sets about shouting again, making it clear that they come here as rescuers, that those who Carmilla forced into service will not be harmed. Most run. A few stay, and by the end of Alucard's display (they have their proof now, that they will be able to protect anyone who defects from Carmilla's wrath) Trevor has a force of fifteen or so men. ]

[ With that, he leads the way into the livestock cells. They are grim. Grimmer, in an objective sense, than they were when Alucard was trapped here. Most are alive, some less so than others after being fed from but not drained completely. Trevor tosses a set of keys each to Alucard and Sypha and sets about unlocking chains and cell doors.

In the farthest cell, the one where exsanguinated corpses seem to be kept, is a man in the armour of one of Dracula's servants. His cheeks are sunken and his eyes fixed upon the floor. He does not look up. ]
