Chapter 3 The Offer

Later that night I woke up to a chill in my room. I looked around, all my windows were closed and the air conditioning wasn't on at the moment. Where is that chill coming from? I asked myself. I looked again and still saw nothing. The chill crept up my spine and that's when it hit me. That's not a chill because of the cold that's my supernatural sense kicking in. I should explain, me and my friends believe in the supernatural and have even seen a few of them. Every time we saw them I had the same chill go up my spine that I realized was like a six sense. It told me a supernatural was near by. Anyway that was what this was and as soon as I realized this I heard a voice.

" So it is true you can detect us"

"Yeah" I said. "So show yourself."

Out of the shadows it came. When I saw what it was I froze. It was a vampire. Not just any vampire it looked a little like the one in my nightmare. The only difference was this vamp wore a total black attire except for the long red trench coat over it. He also had a red fedora and orange glasses that hid his eyes. On his hands were white gloves with some insignia on them. But the face had the same structure as the one in my dream. After a few seconds of silence he spoke again.

" So you know what I am as well"

I mental shook my head and responded. "A vampire correct?"

"Correct."

" Who are you?" I asked.

" I am called Alucard."

" What do you want?"

" I overheard your little problem Kire and I have a solution for you."

I stared at him for a few minutes. It was not uncommon for a vamp to know things like this. They were very nosy when it came to humans. But I couldn't help but think why would he offer to help? So I asked.

" What do you have in mind?"

" I need an apprentice. I have absorbed many humans and you have met my standards as a perfect apprentice. All you need to do is let me change you and teach you how to be a vampire. Then you can help me when I need an extra hand." Alucard explained.

" Okay and I can stay here and see my friends or do I have to be secret and all that?" I asked.

" When I changed you I will give you a very strong first meal where you can stay in the sun. You can live a normal life in the day and train with me most of the night. As a vamp you will only need a few hours of sleep."

Become a vampire and stay here and live a normal life. Well mostly a normal life. I knew that even during the day a truly powerful vamp can walk and act as a human. However they still have their fangs and the blood thirst if left unchecked. But what other choice was there? So I had a decision to make. Should I say no and try to find another way or take the offer and have certainty of staying?
