Lucidia ran out of the castle and toward the forest. She knew that she was endangering herself
again but she didn't care. All she wanted to do was die. Suicide, homocide-she didn't care how. She
just wanted to get off the world.
She ran over to a tree and kicked it. Lucidia wanted to shout, wanted to scream but she couldn't.
She was to weak. The sky was getting dark.
"CAN SOMEONE PLEASE KILL ME! I JUST WANT TO DIE!" she collapsed, crying.
"Well...if it isn't you!" came a familiar voice. It was Minka, she was standing there, grinning.
"Go away!" Lucidia muttered.
"Calm child! I only want your blood!" Minka ran over to her and went to bite her neck again.
"YOU WILL LET GO OF MY DAUGHTER NOW!" came a woman's voice.
Lucidia turned to see a pale woman with red hair standing there.
"B-but Eve! N-no humans have been coming in and w-we are s-starving! I'm s-sick of drinking
non-human blood!"
Lucidia just continued to stare then she got up the courage and asked, "What did you call me?"
"My daughter of course!"
"You-you're my mother?"
"Aye, yes..."
"Why...why did you leave me on my father's doorstep then?"
"Aye...sorry about that. Me and your father...didn't really get along...Hell, we were engaged but
we kept getting into fights so we broke it off and I left...then I found out I was pregnant. I was
young and foolish. I knew I wouldn't be able to raise a baby. Your father was older and more
resposible. I knew he would do well. Look at you, you are still alive and well! With me you would
probably be dead. Mind you, you are already twenty five percent dead-"
"What?"
"Well, you are twenty five percent vampire...so of course you are twenty five percent dead-"
Lucidia glanced over at Minka who was eyeing Lucidia's neck.
"Why-why do you live here?"
"Why not?" Minka said, taking her eyes off of Lucidia's neck.
"Well, shouldn't you live in Transylvania or something?"
"Them people are odd ones, they are," Minka replied. "They don't like foreign vampires. They
don't mind foreign humans but ones who are already vampires they hate."
"Where do you live, then?"
"Right in the woods. The very back. We just hang out here," Eve said.
"Y-you could come stay with me and dad," said Lucidia, without thinking.
Eve smiled then shook her head, "Honey, your father doesn't want me..."
"I COULD TALK TO HIM! WE'D LOVE-"
"Naw...your father is there for you at home...and I am here for you at school and I think now is
time to go to bed."
Eve held out her hand and it looked like she was muttering a spell. Lucidia fell asleep and woke
up the next day in her own bed.
