The next morning, the vampire tells Elmire that he's going to kill her. He's not going to let her get away with it. He wants her to get out of the way of the counter-weeps. He tells her that there's nothing she can do to stop him. Elmire, of course, doesn't want to be a part of this. She's too busy trying to figure out how to get to the other side of the wall. The vampire tells her to calm down, and he'll take care of it for her. She tells him that she'd like to help him and his friends find their way back up the wall, but he won't let her do it without telling them where they are. He warns her that they'll have to come back with them, but she's welcome to do so.
