Chapter 3

AHHHHH!

"I'm a VAMPIRE?" I said, still shocked.

"Well you could have asked, I sensed you here from 5 miles away. You're lucky you are alive with a scent that strong." Austin said. I then noted he had piercing red eyes, unlike mine. "But wait, don't we have to drink blood or something?" I asked.

"Not until we hit sixteen." He answered.

"Doesn't someone have to change us though? And I thought we were immortal, so we can't age." I said, superstitious.

"Look, I'll spell it out for you, okay?" Austin said, aggravated, "If we are changed at younger than sixteen, then we age until we turn sixteen, if you are changed over sixteen, than you need blood then and there, and stay that age forever. I was changed when I was three, and my eyes changed from a pure blue, to piercing red." He said, pointing to his eyes.

"Wow. I never knew being a vampire could be so complicated." I said. It was kinda weird. I mean, I set out to find out about my life, and find out that me, above all people, is a vampire. Well, at least someone knows what they're talking about.

"So, I heard you have an Angel Dog with you." he said.

"A what?"

"An Angel Dog. They're mythical creatures that wipe out vampires like us. I'm surprised that one actually likes you." Austin said. Another guy just rushed into the elevator, and rushed back out again, and, of course, Austin was totally oblivious. I was silent. I didn't know what else to say. It was really awkward. Then we reached the bottom, and I went to get Daisy. Daisy was hiding in the alley, just like I told her to. As soon as Austin appeared, however, she started growling, her brown and white fur turned jet black, and her eyes and wings turned a bloody red. Wow. Talk about getting a little mad.

"Hey! Tell it to cut it out!" Austin said, terrified.

"Nah. This is actually really funny." I said.

"No it's not! It could kill me any minute!" He said, backing up.

"You so aren't fun anymore, but fine. Daisy, go find a snack, ok?" I said gently to her. She woofed in reply.

"Do you now see why I thought it was weird of her to like you NOW?" he said. "And I can't believe it, but I still don't know your name.

"I'm Aria."I said, feeling a smidge embarrassed.

"Wait. You're Aria? The famous vamp that went through 60 angel dogs at once when you were three?" he said amazingly. "People have been looking for Aria Wara for centuries."

"Whoa. Centuries? I've been alive 14 years dude."

"Not to them. When you went through the Angel Dogs, they gave you a mark that would let you live at the age of three for 500 years. It was the angel wings right below the neck." I couldn't see, but sure enough, when I pulled down my turtleneck, his eyes got REALLY big, and I'm not talking about a little bit, I mean REALLY big!

"Oh my god. I will be in SO much trouble if they hear about you. Crap, crap, crap…" he kept on muttering. "We've gotta hide you somewhere. Somewhere safe before he finds you again… Right! Ok I got it now." he said, feeling important. "Ask Daisy where to hide. If you work hard, you will be able to speak Angel Dog without knowing it." So I tried. Really hard. Then, all of my troubles just lifted away…
