Chapter 33

I spent the next few weeks continuing my training.  

I didn’t let Nora’s vicious vampire attempt to harm me dissuade me from wanting to keep up with her progress in regaining her humanity.  In fact, it made me all the more eager to assure myself that she would soon return to normal.  I made a daily quest to see her, but was consistently denied access to the area where she was kept.  I even alternated the time of day of my attempts in hopes that I’d encounter a more lenient guard.  The frustration was practically overwhelming.  When I approached Jassy for help in this matter, she was adamant that it was best for me to stay away until Nora was finished with her transformation.

She never said humanity, but, since she emphasized the word transformation,  I allowed myself to believe that was what she meant.  I couldn’t, for one second, let any other fate for my dear friend enter my thoughts.   &n
