things centuries ago. Hardly, but they gave up in consuming human blood. I was way a happier case than them, because I have never tasted anything like human blood, and time fixes all. I overcame the temptation. Then, it becomes a habit, so that the human blood doesn't affect me in any way. You realize what I would be: I, a surgeon, to go into the operating room and, instead saving the patient, to stick my teeth into his throat... Just imagine how the
    entire Hospital would scream!You realize that I’d have no chance with this new doctor I was telling you about...”
    I sketch out a smile. I guess embarrassment in her voice, fact that strengthens even more my belief that she is a human soul trapped in the body of a vampire, is a young cat soul trapped in the body of a menacing lion. How to kill a little cat, no matter how she looks like
    „So, we are... okay?” she asks her original question.
    „You are very close to me, and you still breathe. I think this will answer your question, right?”
    Her turbulent hug takes me by surprise, and I hit her hard in her chest, throwing her into the opposite wall.
    „My God!” I say. „I'm so sorry! Are you okay? I swear that I never wanted to do that, just that...”
    „That’s alright.” she says, standing and whisking herself.”I'm not a classic vampire, but I'm still a vampire.”
    I would really have preferred her not to say that.
    „I want to say that you did not hurt me at all.”
    Behind the wall, there was a crack. As she looks back at it, she sketches a crooked little smile.
    „Well, maybe just a little. But now I'm not feeling any pain at all.”
    I go to her, and I take her by her hands, carefully studying her., only now noticing that her paleness is very pale, even for a vampire. As if she would be sick. But who has ever heard about a vampire to be sick? She no longer breathes.
    „You may blink.” I say with a variety of fun. „The danger has passed. Just don't make very sudden movements when you're near me, okay?”
    „Sure thing.: she blows very slowly.
    For a moment, we have only looked at one to another. I, with wonder, she - with-hope. I - with the wonder of having confronted a vampire without actually having her killed, she-with the hope of becoming my friend. Unfortunately, what she wants, she won't be able to never have.
    „Now, let's look at your wound.” She says.
    „Does it take long to heal?” I ask, slightly annoyed by my weakness.
    „No need to be angry.” She chills me. „No one would have survived in your state. I am telling you honestly. At first, I thought that you won’t be able to make it. But, apparently, it seems that you still have something to fulfill on this earth before rising among the righteous.”
    Yes, I still have a mission to end on this earth. In fact, more. A first mission would be to take care of Cassiopia. Because now I know that she was the one for which I got this way. I perfectly remembered her bracelet, when she took it back of my hand, thrilled that she could destroy me. As perfect, I remember her words. I know now that the jewel that she seemed so thrilled to give away, so happy to bestow it to me, it was nothing but a tracking device. I know now that she made a deal with a group of vampires to destroy me, because she had not had any opportunity, nor guts. And frankly, if it hadn't been for this geranium vampire, so she would have managed. But when something is meant to happen... it certainly happens. Yet, her alliance with the vampires surprised me. It's very strange, because hunters do not make alliances with vampires, and hunters
    especially don’t betray each other. But for real, I'm not quite a Hunter for her, am I? Which is for the better. Because this way I more easily can deal with her and with whosoever tries to kill me. And then, there's my ultimate mission, my crusade to exterminate the vampiric disease as a race, to avenge the destruction of my creators, my parents. Of course, that does not include
