The sun was already out and it was sunny outside. Nicole looked at the time on the side of her bed and it was 6: 48 AM.  She got out of bed and out of the room into the passageway. She could hear the voices of other vampires talking downstairs in one of the many sitting rooms of the mansion. As she got to the staircase and climbed down, she could now see all of them clearly. They were the group of vampires that arrived here together last night and Charles was with them. She came down the stairs and joined them. They seemed to be engrossed in their discussion, not paying her any attention.  "Hi I am Nicole, can I ask what's going on here?" She asked a female vampire close to her. She seemed to be seriously

"6 brave vampire scouts at my command risked their lives in search of the new monster on the loose. They have done so countless times, proving that sacrifice is beneficial for the greater good". "6 brave vampire scouts also gave their honest advice on how to stop the new monsters - by stopping their source, the witch" "6 brave vampire scouts know this is a difficult assignment to do but if I have asked them to go into the werewolves territory again as I have done before they would go. Their lives are valuable to me as all of your lives are valuable to me" "For every vampire that dies, I feel a sharp pain inside of me, alerting me to their death and demise. I feel all your pains for your brothers and sisters that have died fighting this war with the witch, I feel it personall

She couldn't get enough from kissing him and wanted to keep going but before the passion totally consumed her, she stopped. She pulled slightly away, her nose still almost touching Lucas' nose. "Why are you here?" She asked softly while still hanging on Lucas' arms. "I came here for you, to see you",he said, as her eyes were fixed on him. It seemed she was trying to read his thoughts.  Nicole rested her forehead on his. She liked his answer. He was here intentionally to see her. She felt very special to get that recognition from him. She held the left side of his face gently and buried her lips on his while she closed her eyes. She resumed kissing him passionately and he matched her passion.  

"Whatever it was, they had to kill it", he thought to himself. He signalled Mark with his hands to stay calm and remain in his hiding position, he turned and did the same to Andrew, signalling him to stay in his spot. It was now twilight, the sound was now a couple of seconds away from the path, as it's steps and growling could be heard even more loudly than before.  The brothers braced up for what was about to come, their rifles set to fire, all pointed towards the path.  "Steady", Mark whispered with a breath of air he exhaled, as he aimed his rifle at the direction of the noise. His heart was pounding fast as he could feel sweat drops roll down

"It worked!", he exclaimed with joy. Lucas, on hearing that Andrew could now see clearly, reluctantly gave it a try, as he found it strange to trust a voice that he wasn't yet familiar with. He focused on his hands and his eyes focused and he could see his hands clearly. "They look different, I know", Mark said from where he stood as he observed Lucas and Andrew staring strangely at their new form. "What happened to me?!"Lucas asked angrily, first looking at his hands, then looking at the figure of Mark as his eyes for the first time focused clearly and could see him. "Wow, what happened to you!", he said, as he caught sight of the impressive figure of Mark's body.
