I spotted Dorian crouched over a limp body, drinking deeply as blood flooded from the soldier's neck. Couldn’t he move faster? But from the desperate way he gulped, threw his head back, and went back to drinking with blood streaming down his chin, I could see that he’d gone to another, darker place, controlled by his instincts.
Please! One or two of these soldiers might know they're doing evil. The vast majority probably aren't evil and are just following orders with no knowledge of what's going to happen. In fact, with The Board knowing the vampires can sense evil, they probably wouldn't send anyone who knew what was going on.
