We'd returned early in the morning to see a few more vampires present. Russell had mentioned that the vampires that had joined them were more drifters than anything and that they didn't stay for long. It wasn't until the sun erupted from the horizon that the smell of human was washed through all our nostrils. Allegra stiffened again.
The only human was a girl, no older than seventeen. She was quite pretty in a simple way. Her hair was a soft red that was tied back in an extremely messy bun. She emerged from one of the upstairs rooms in a pull over, sweats and a thin cane.
"Good morning Katrina." Kassandra called from a chair near a television. A muffled 'mhm' was present in the air as she made her way into a bathroom on the main floor. Aurora elbowed my side and motioned toward Christopher who gazed at Katrina as she made her way to the bathroom.
"My sister." Kassandra growled noticing the infatuated gaze coming from Christopher.
"Can I talk to you outside for a second?" Aurora squeezed my hand and Elsie's.
"I wouldn't go outside if I were you, you might burn up." Kassandra snapped.
"We'll be in the shade." Aurora smiled as the three of us stood up and stepped out.
"There's something wrong with—" Aurora stopped and winced as the skin that was exposed to the light began to boil.
"Get her out of the sun." Russell raced to our side and pulled Aurora into the building. "Kassandra!" Solomon raced to Aurora's side taking her unwounded hand in his own.
"Yes?" she looked at us rather amused and even kept the expression present in her voice.
"Get some bandages now." She slowly made her way to the bathroom and emerged with ace bandages.
"Can you also free up a bed for her?" She sighed and slowly made her way upstairs freeing up some space in a free room. Once Aurora was bandaged up, Russell carried her up the stairs to the room followed by Solomon, Elsie and I.
Kassandra glared at the weakened Aurora and then at the rest of us. Once she was on the bed, Solomon began to close the door.
"Leave us." Solomon said to Elsie and I closing the door completely once everyone was out of the room.
