Valkyrie - the Vampire Princess 3 by Pet Torres Page B

didn’t know exactly what was happening to me , however.
    I looked down at my books, trying to escape their investigative eyes .
     
    While the students walked out of their classes , two schoolmates approached me. They were enchanted by my cryptic appearance. I was in my black pleated skirt , knee -length , black panty hose , black blouse and black top boots .
    “ I like your new style !” the black-haired girl said, with a smug smile on her face.
    “It is t otally dark!” another girl added.
    They had the same style like my friend Mirta. They were dressed in their in their pink colored clothes.
    “ Thanks !” I said grinning.
    They had no idea why I had adopted a different style from that which I was accustomed to .
    I didn’t wear those dark clothes because I loved them. It was necessary. My view was more sensitive before clear -colored clothes .
     

Chapter 5
     
     
    I was coming back home , walking into slow motion , observing a landscape totally green , the wind whistled through the vivacious trees .  All was different from everything I‘d seen on Neptune, where there were dry trees and darkness .
     
    There appeared in front of me a seven–year old boy . He rode on his red bike toward me . A stone on the way interrupted his route .  He fell to the ground after I had moved past it. His bike fell shortly after his body .
    He mumbled when he saw his wounded knee . I took five steps forward to help him .
    “Are you all right?” I asked him as I grabbed his arm , trying to pick him up .
    “ My knee aches !” he said, crying .
    I was surprised to see his knee was covered with blood. ...Then I closed my eyes , avoiding an increasing desire inside me .
    The sweet soft scent of his blood turmed me into a bloodthirsty vampire . I turned around and quickly looked up at the sky thus the little boy could not see my supernatural face . My eyes changed color . They were gray and my teeth became sharp .
    My brain imagined a drastic scene . I had penetrated my fangs into his neck flesh .
    I fought against my thoughts as much as I could.
     
     
    Then my muscles compressed and an extensive pain invaded my stomach . It was the symptom in favor of my blood’s dependence.
    First, I wanted to save the existence of that innocent child. I didn’t want to interrupt his lifetime to feed myself. It would be such cruelty.
    Despite the fact that I had become a vampire , I struggled against it. I didn’t want to adjust myself to their form .
    I tried to feed as little as I could to try and preserve lives
    “ Go away!” I shouted at him. “Go away, now!”
    The boy, startled, took his bike , went up on it and was pedaling away . He didn’t understand what was wrong with me , though, he followed my orders .

I put my hands against the ground and looked up into the air. The cloudy sky had witnessed my agony. My gaze and my teeth had come back to normal .
    At that moment, I realized I had defeated my wish to drink blood , at least ... in that moment .
     
     
     
     

Chapter 6
     
     
    I slept a lot more . I was late for school .
    Then my mother realized I hadn't woken yet. She walked into my room and gazed at my bed.
    While I slept on my stomach, my long black hair flowed over my pillow. My nightgown’s loop went down my shoulder. My left-lung was revealed and my mother stopped her gaze on my tattoo .
    My mother’s face puckered up in irritation and disappointment at me .
    When I woke up , she was not in my room any longer . I walked to my wardrobe and put away my night-dress and remained barefoot .
    My mother got up from the couch and started walking through the living room, but the television was on .
    “ You didn't go to school today,” she said and pressed the ‘ Stop ’ button on the remote and the screen became black.
     
    “ Oh ... I think I slept too much. ” I wiped my hand across my forehead.
    “ What tattoo is this on your back ?” she asked, discontented.
    “ How can I tell ...?” I shook my head as I
