"Are you crazy? You know vampires attack instinct!" said Katherine.
"I only thinking where did you go" said Kowalski.
"Nothing, why are you spying me?"
"No I'm not spying I only... ok maybe, but you know I worry about you"
"Ok, listen I'm a vampire, I'll be fine so don't worry, ok?"
"Ok, but promise you never go alone again ok? We'll check it tomorrow together" said Kowalski.
"Ok, but I saw someone, a vampire"
"It's dangerous, don't go anywhere alone in this weird city!"
"Ok, is this apology sufficient?" said Katherine and kissed him.
"Always, Katherine"
They went back to their habitats. Marlene was sleeping didn't worried about weird happens. It was true, that the animals now were believing them even in most weird stories after attack by vampires. But they were still naive.
Next morning was warm and sunny, everything were looking normal, Katherine and Marlene were doing their best together trick for children.
"Good work, Katherine" said Marlene.
"Thank you Marlene, did you err... saw something weird?"
"No, why?"
"Nothing but... who's there?" Katherine looked at one animal walking along wall of lemurs habitat. Katherine went out of the habitat.
"Where are you going?" asked Marlene.
"I want to check something"
"Is here anew animal?"
"I think no"
Katherine follow animal and realized he was an otter. In second he disappeared, now she was sure that was a vampire. She was about follow him, but finally decided to go to penguins habitat.
"Hey, do you saw someone new in the zoo?" she asked.
"No, have we got a new member?" asked Skipper.
"Maybe it's finally unicorn" said Private with hope.
"No, I think he's an otter and..." she was about to say vampire, but she decided to not telling.
"We'll check it, where's his habitat?"
"I don't know, but he looked like stranger" said Katherine and went to her and Marlene habitat.
Finally they decided to not checking forest, fortunately there weren't any attacks, so they could be calm. But when Katherine was sleeping, her vampire instinct awaked her. She felt someone near and slowly approached to enter from the cave.
"Who are you?" she asked and grabbed stranger vampire neck.
"Hey, I don't have any evil plan, ok?" said vampire otter.
"I'm a vampire too, so I can kill you if you touch my friends" she warmed him and let.
"Ok, I not one of evil vampires, I'm Alexander, but call me Alex" he said.
"Hi, I'm Katherine"
"I see, you're a new vampire" he said.
"Yes, I'm vampire for two months, what about you?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Why not?"
"Ok, I'm around 150 years" he said and laughed.
"You're... old" said Katherine and laughed with him "So, why do you arrive here?"
"I'm looking for place for me for 100 years and I finally arrive here"
"This is Central Park zoo in New York, I think Alice can make habitat for you, but one question"
"Yes?"
"Do you drink blood?"
"I know what you mean, but no, I drink one drop for two weeks that's enough for vampires"
"I know, shall I show you my friends and zoo tomorrow?"
"Ok, thank you, Katherine"
"But, don't look at penguins behaviour, for new persons it's always... other, anyway, nice to meet you, Alex"
"Katherine, are you here?" they heard Marlene's voice and she went out of the habitat.
"Oh, Marlene, it's Alex, Alex it's Marlene" said Katherine. But as a vampire, she saw something in Alex's eyes when he saw Marlene, she smiled to herself.
