"Larten…you blooded Darren…so you must get him to drink…"…I ask you to trust that I will get Darren to be a strong Vampire…" the vampire said in a firm voice. nodded "very well Larten…" . meanwhile Darren was laying on his bed in the tent he shared with Evra Von, the snake boy. "what's up with you Darren?" Evra asked, he sat down and gently stroked his snakes head. Darren sighed "I'm a vampire…I know Crepsley wants me to drink blood…I do, but…if I do,…" he whispered,. Evra sighed "Darren…if Crepsley wants you too I'd do it, he knows what he's doing,".
