Take It slow
Chapter one
I stepped out of my hammock and went to go take an icy cold shower in Vampire Mountain. I shivered when I first stepped in but after a few minutes I was happy to be under the shower that was washing all the muck off me. I stepped out and wrapped a towel round myself to dry myself off. Harkat must have guessed where I was because just as I put my clothes on, he popped round the corner looking in the room that contained a lot of shivering vampires. When he spotted me he smiled and walked towards me.
"I didn't know where...you were. I woke up...and you were gone" Harkat said. He wasn't very good at speaking but he has picked up a lot during the years. When he first revealed himself he could barely say two words without needing to pause for a few seconds to catch his breath.
"Sorry. I have not taken a shower in what feels weeks." I said laughing at Harkat's worried expression. At least I thought it was worried.
"Would you like to...go and get some breakfast?" Harkat asked. I nodded my head and followed him towards the hall which serves food. Before I got a chance to eat I got asked to go to the Hall Of Princes. I told Harkat to just go and catch up with Mr Crepsley because I didn't know how long I was going to be. I entered the hall to two upset looking Princes Mika Ver Leth and Arrow.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Paris has died" Arrow whispered. It hit me like a tonne of bricks I did not expect it to be this soon. I thought he had a good few years left in him.
"Oh" I said. Arrow just nodded at my reply. "Should I tell Mr Crepsly?" I asked. Yet again Arrow nodded. I hurried out of the gloomy hall towards where Harkat and Mr Crepsly were. When I left the hall I seen Alla, a vampire just a few years older than me. I smiled at her she smiled back. I liked her more than a friend. She was nice and pretty and we were pretty good friends. I had been trying to pluck up the courage to ask her out but it never came. I entered the Hall and Mr Crepsley smiled at me and patted the seat next to him meaning that he wanted me to sit with him.
"Mr Crepsley I have some bad news." I whispered like Arrow did when he told me about the loss.
"What is it?" He asked with a serious expression on his face.
"Paris has died" I said. I could hear Mr Crepsly grunt trying to stop himself from flooding the room. I put my arm around him to try and comfort him. He smiled at me to show his thanks. I stood up and left the room. I sighed and leant against the wall and sighed. Most vampires were asleep. Suddenly I found my courage and headed for Alla's room.
