Jed's feral pink eyes rolled in the back of his head. He was resisting, but the power over his mind was a thing he could not control. Nathan spoke, with a graveled British accent, coming from a southern native the sound of it would have given anyone an unnerving feeling.
" It is best we do not remain in one place. Jed can survive on his own and with my tutelage, he will grow and become a part of my legend. As for my return, I fear only the forces of Hell could return my form. Enigma sought to my body and vanquished it with the morning sun. I know that ten miles of Texas sand now hold my remains. Therefore, I become what Jack was to me. Even if I was a lunatic, if what Dr. Rasputin brought from me was indeed truth, I have little recourse but to use this as my means. I am no longer tortured as I was. But, young vampire Jedrick's abilities will now face the same torment I once endured. That is unless he gives up, and I take full control. However, I fear that is not the best option. I sense that our survival depends on us letting Jed, embrace my legend. I will teach him to write, and speak upon him within his mind, as did Jack. He will become a narrow thorn as part of a two pronged attack. The society may have fallen but our interests remain. If he believes himself to be the Ripper, than quite simply he will become the Ripper. That is our goal now. Stimulate him, educate him, and make him something to be feared in the eyes of mortals and our enemies."
There was a hacking roar as the physical form took hold once again. The fight so great that Jed held a lock of his own white hair, yanked from his scalp. Spitting once, Jed adjusted his waist line and gripped his crotch. The rebel was back in true form.
" Lady. I ain't goin' ta make dis an easy thang fer non off yall. But I will survive. I will carry on. You git ta yer side an I'll be roun town too. Here's a way ta git me whar ya can git a hold of me. Dis is a black lit chalk. Mark it with mah clan name, on a head stone or even in an alley an I see it an com runnin gunsa blazin. You hav mah word Vipah."
