Amber wakes up to the sound of quiet typing. She slowly opens her eyes and looks over to the desk to see Jayleen half buried in her chair, using what looked like an instant messenger.

"The floor sucked."

Amber says while Jayleen turns around and smiles.

"Well, good night to you too. If you don't get up, yesterday won't be the worst night of your week."

The girl yawns and slowly sits up, hugging the blanket around her. "What? Why?"

"Because, my mother comes home then. If you don't convince her that you've been a vampire all your life, she'll probably throw you into a church."

Amber frowns and holds her eyes wide open. "Why? Won't that get me killed?"

Jayleen folds her arms and leans against her desk.

"Because, you're a mistake. You should have woken up outside dehydrated. If she finds out I didn't keep track of the moon, she'll skin me."

Amber's frown only intensifies. "What's the big deal about the moon? It was overcast last night."

"If a vampire feeds on someone under a full moon, it turns them. I thought it happened the day before."

Jayleen huffs after. "Come on. Let's get you out of those and into something that doesn't make you look homeless."

Amber nods and stands up immediately. "Hey! You used mind control again!"

The vampire winces a bit and stands up as well. "Sorry! And it's not mind control! You just have to do what I say!"

The girls both make their way into a large bathroom. The counter top looks like polished granite and has several sinks on it.

At the end of the room there's a standing bath tub that Jayleen walks to and turns on.

"I'm going to have my bath first. I'll be quick. You brush your teeth. There should be a spare under the sink."

Amber looks down to the sink, and then back at Jayleen who was already stripping. "But I haven't eaten ye- OH OKAY."

Jayleen turns to Amber while half way taking off her shirt. "What? We're vampires. We don't need to eat food. At least, I don't."

Amber crouches down and opens the under sink cabinet. "But food's kind of nice. That sucks.." She looks around until she finds an unopened tooth brush package and tries to tear it open.

The vampire, now naked steps into the filling bath and sighs. "Well, you're part human. So you can if you want. But I want you getting used to drinking blood first."

As she eventually destroys the entire package to get at the tooth brush, she looks back to Jayleen. "Is that why you plan on.. Doing that to me again?"

Amber shudders while beginning to brush her teeth. Jayleen nods.

"Because you're half human? Yeah. It'll be fun to bully you with, and since you have to do everything I say, it'll be convenient."

Jayleen says in a sincere tone, sounding less degrading and hostile than the night before. Though, that doesn't stop Amber from slumping down as she finishes brushing.

"Is.. That so?" She asks in a defeated tone while Jayleen begins to climb out of the tub.

"Mhm! You, in."

Jayleen says while pointing at the tub as she puts on a towel.

She quickly walks towards the bath, while paying attention to how she felt. She didn't feel any compulsion to move to the tub, and didn't feel like her movements were forced or artificial.

It just felt sickeningly normal. Like her intention was to do what she was ordered to was there all along.

While deep in thought, Amber was already naked and washing her self.

Amber and Jayleen were both in the living room, sitting on the couch.

"I'm going to regret asking this, but where do you get the blood from?"

Amber hugs her arms around a cushion from the couch. She's wearing a short red skirt with black lacy outlines on it, and a silky black and pink shirt.

"It's really not that bad! The ones who feed us get hooked up to an IV drip in the morning. They 'donate' a pint of blood, eat their breakfast, and then spend the rest of the day playing x-box in the manor.

Jayleen says while stretching her self out and yawning. Amber goes quiet after saying "Oh. Isn't a pint a lot? Do you.. Lock them up?"

The vampire laughs after, "Yeah, but they'll live. And no, they live in some of those houses. They trade blood for cheaper rent."

Amber gives a relieved nod, "That's.. Surprisingly not scary at all. I was worried people died."

"No, no. Five hundred years ago when you could die from an infection? Sure. We have enough people that it can be done in shifts. Since you can't die from two tiny pin pricks now there's no real point in killing the person. We've even hired a nurse."

Amber's mood lightens up, she even manages to smile. "I.. Never thought about that. How much blood we even need to drink?"

"Around four pints a week. I've already drank enough thanks to you." Jayleen sticks out her tongue while Amber pouts.

"Yeah. Thanks for that. Does that mean I'm safe for the week?"

The vampire laughs. "As if. I need to grow. Clear your neck, Amber."

Amber frowns as she brushes her hair away from her neck, then holds it up in a fist. "I hate you."

Before Amber can even react, Jayleen tackles Amber and knocks her and the couch over.

Jayleen laughs as Amber dizzily walks out the front door with her, who was rubbing the two bloodied pin pricks on her neck.

"You are literally the worst." Amber complains while she looks into the night. Everything was clear as day, except for that pitch black and slice of moon in the sky.

"Why are we out here again?"

Jayleen leads on, "We're going back to that farm. There's a special holy sword that I'm supposed to get before my mother comes back."

Amber thinks for a moment, "Like Excalibur and the round table?"

"Yes and no. Excalibur was the scariest holy sword ever. But it was destroyed forever ago. The church fights over it with devils and fallen angels. This one's Hindu."

The statement makes Amber's gears in her head turn. "Wait, angels and devils are real too?"

"Mhm! And they both will try and kill us if they ever found us."
