I looked at her for a moment, "why would you want to help me?" I asked her,
though I thought I could already answer that for myself. There was power
within the house, and to make even the slightest dent in their defenses
would require reinforcements...already in place were a number of interesting
twists, later I would take time to enjoy the creation but for now..."the
woman is of little concern," I replied, "a pawn...but sometimes the pawns
can be the most valuable piece in a game...sometimes they become queen."

The woman liked this one and nodded at the house before asking "Do you have
a personal item of the one you seek to destroy?"
She would be very interested in getting a look inside the house and this one
with her........ he had a desire to destroy someone that should not only
understand but 'taste', the feeling was so strong.
Pawn, hmm? "Indeed." she said thoughtfully, even as she added to herself 'a
pawn she wanted out of her way'.
"We can help each other I believe. She stands in my way and something tells
me," the woman added with a slow lift of her brow as she waited for the
answer to what she asked "She just may be something you would want to.....
have for your own purposes."
