The day went by fast. That had never happened to me before. I suppose it was because I was thinking about the young vampire. Those angelic features and that pale complexion. It was truly beautiful. I had to have it. I had to have it now. It was like an itch that you couldn't scratch, no matter how badly you wanted to. I sighed and continued to think about the boy. How was I going to get the blood with out hurting him? It would be such a shame to see the boy get hurt. I didn't want to hurt him. I walked the corridors all day pondering on the subject. During my thought process, the boy came up to me. His pale face was blushed and his eyes were watery.
"Seishiro-san… Thank you for saving me… How could I repay you?" He asked. I watched as his face became redder when our eyes met. He would always look down afterward. I smiled and told him not to worry. I continued to wonder about my pickled situation. He tugged at my sleeve again. "Will you… come with me for a minute? I want to show you something…" He whimpered. I smiled and nodded, following the ghostly frame as he walked to the unknown region of the palace that I was unfamiliar with me. There were maids and butlers along the way, and they continued to stare at me. Some of them even shook their heads. I thought this was odd. The boy eventually led me to a room with maids awaiting him. They greeted him with 'hello, young master' or 'your highness, welcome back.' Of course. I forgot that he was royalty. The boy continued to walk forward, and eventually came to a small table. He picked up a small compass and handed it to me.
"I can't let you have it… because it's a family heirloom, but you can use it while you're here. It shows you what you truly desire." He said. I opened the compass and of course, it pointed to the youthful vampire. "What does your heart desire?" He asked, coming to see. I closed it before it could look at the compass face.
"Nothing. I don't really have any desires." I lied through my deceptive smile. He nodded and ran off to who knows where. Great. Now I don't know what I want. Do I desire the boy, or his blood? So many confusing thoughts. I put the dainty thing in my pocket and followed the boy through his play ground of a palace.
