Chapter 6
"So, one couple of mates at a time, and when they die, another is assigned. How do you know when you're assigned?" I wondered.
"Yeah. You get a ring around your arm that begins glowing whatever color your aura is. See?" He said, taking off his multicolored jacket, and lifting the short sleeve of his midriff. I could see a single slim ring that looked sort of like a tattoo that circled his upper forearm. I touched it, and it began to glow orange.
"So if I succeed, I'll have one too?" I asked, curious of what color mine would be.
"Yes, but my sire has to verify you as a perfect mate for me, and that he accepts you into the family." He said, pushing a strand of hair away from my eyes.
"Now I'm worried. I'm perfect at nothing. Except being crazy." I said, looking down. I had been slightly relieved when Marko had gone back to his human form, knowing he wouldn't eat me then.
"You're perfect at being you. Don't worry, he has to check the list I made for what I was looking for, and you qualify for all of them, don't worry."
"You made a list for what you were looking for in your new partner?" I said, trying to think of someway this wasn't flattering.
"All vampires like me have to. See, when a vampire couple dies, the next has already been chosen, but not you were a vampire before now, you would just have to write a list and find me, because I was too, but I was told by communication to my circle that you weren't a vampire, so I had to find the perfect girl out of everyone by one list of requirements."
"So, you described me and then found me?" I wondered where this all led to.
"Yes, do you want to see my list?" He said, pulling a slip of paper out of his side table's drawer.
"Sure, let's see how much you had to find out about me." I replied, getting the paper from him and unfolding it.

As I read this, I felt a chill as I realized that I was all of these things. I was a little shocked that he had perfectly described me after only knowing me for a few days. Then, I realized that he had made this probably a few days before he met me, when the other couple had died.
"See, you're all of these." he said, sensing I was done reading.
"Right, so, if I accept you, and your head person accepts me, we'll be, like, eternally married?" I said, excited.
"That's right, but if you are excepted, we have to drink a little of each others blood to signal the bringing together of mates, and then you have to bring in enough humans to feed us all, and share your first kill with me to become a full vampire." He said, making a small knot form in my stomach.
"Alright, I'll do it. Will I have a ring or circle or whatever on my arm?"
"Yeah, it will glow whatever color your aura is." He said. I was worried that his sire wouldn't allow me to be his mate, but I had seen the list he had met, and I perfectly described by it.
It wasn't long until David had came in and told us that the sire was on his way, and I had gotten dressed in my favorite dress. I looked around, wondering if I was supposed to come down, or if they were going to come get me.
My question was answered by Marko who came and said it was time.
"Well, you picked quiet a lovely girl." Said some guy. He seemed so familiar, and then it hit me, I had seen him managing the movie store on the boardwalk.
"Thank you." Marko and I said in unison, making me blush.
"May I see your list, Marko?"
"Yes." Marko handed the man the man the list, which I knew described me so perfectly.
"She meets all the seeable traits, how about the personality traits?" He said, looking around the boys, who had al gotten in line facing the man with me and Marko standing to the side. All of them nodded together and I felt a little relief.
"Good. I need to make sure her blood is pure. May I see your index finger Miss Kitty?" He said, holding out a hand, which I put my own in. He balled my hand into a fist with my pointer finger pointing out towards him.
He took his fingernail, which was long and visibly sharp, and made a clean cut right across my finger, and dabbed up the blood with a handkerchief that came from somewhere within his dark gray jacket. Bringing the cloth to his nose, he sniffed it, drawing in the scent of my fresh blood, and let go of my hand.
"Smells like the blood of the perfectly innocent person. Marko, this is possibly the best mate you could have picked out, I'm proud of you son," He said, grabbing my hand and kissing it, "Welcome Miss Kitty, you are hereby formally excepted by Sire Max as a mate for Marko and a member of the family."
"Thank you, I will do my best to do whatever I am supposed to do from here on out." I replied, struggling to find a reply that sounded right.
"Your ring is now in the faint stage of a human, and will become darker once you are a half vampire, and will be at its darkest when you are a full vampire."
Marko said, kissing my forehead. I could feel the ring forming. It felt like an ice cube was being lightly rubbed around my arm, and then it stopped. I looked at my left arm, and there it was. A ring identical to Marko's only shining pink, right on my left forearm.
"You now need to make the commitment of half vampire. We will do this tomorrow night, and also full vampire afterwards, okay? Now it's time to sleep, the sun is nearly up. I'll be with you shortly." Marko said.
I nodded, happy as could be, and went to the door, which lead to the tunnel, which led to mine and Marko's new room. I was now a vampire to be.
I got undressed and slipped on my pajamas and climbed into bed. It seemed that I fell asleep right away into a peaceful and happy sleep.
