Tiffany woke up the next night feeling very strange. Her eyesight was much better, she could hear so much more than what she originally was able to, and what was most interesting to her, was that she was so much more aware of her body.She slowly stood up, looking around the room and flexing her muscles, finding that they were much stronger. She slowly walked to the bathroom and faced the mirror, finding that she no longer had a reflection. Tiffany jumped back from the mirror in surprise to this new finding. She quickly ran down the steps, moving much fast than a normal human could at a jog. She searched all the rooms for Damen, but could not find him anywhere. She called out for him as she started back up the stairs, determined to find him.As she was reaching the top step, Damen jumped from the rafters in the ceiling, startling Tiffany.“What were you doing up there?” she asked him after her heart rate settled a bit.“I was thinking, and trying to relax some. I was very unsure about changing you last night, I wasn’t sure as to how you would react to your new senses.” He said to her, questions in his eyes.“I feel fine, just very strange. Is this normal to feel so… alive?” she asked, unsure of how she should say it.“Yes, it is very normal. You will feel like this for a while, but when you come into your powers, you will feel very different. I just hope you are ready for it.” He said to her, thinking very hard as to how to explain everything to her.“Powers?” she said, confused, “You never said anything about powers, and when will I get them?”“I am not sure when you will get them, but you will get them. There are many different types of powers, but you will only get a few. I have the power to fly, and change form,” he said, letting his black wings out to their full length.“Are there anymore changes that I will go through that you did not originally tell me about?” she said to him, rather frustrated that he would completely fill her in.“There are many things you do not yet know, and I will tell them to you, but not right now. You must feed soon, or you will become weak. A fledgling vampire, must feed daily for a few weeks before they can slow the feedings to just a few times a week.” He said as he led her back down the stairs.They walked quickly into the town, searching for a healthy looking person to feed from. When they did finally find a person to feed from, Damen told Tiffany to stay were she was for the moment and in the shadows.Damen quickly changed his form into a black cat, and trotted down the ally towards the middle-aged man. As Damen walked past the man, he turned toward him and shifted back into his human form. Before the man could say anything Damen jumped on him and breathed a gas into the man’s nose and mouth, knocking the man unconscious. Damen motioned for Tiffany to join him.“I will bight him and then let you take blood from him. You will want to continue taking his blood after you begin, and it will be hard to resist taking it all. I will tell you when to quit.” Damen leaned in and bit the mans neck, quickly drawing blood, and moved aside for Tiffany to drink.Tiffany drank deeply, thought running through her head that were not her own. Noticing that what Damen said about wanting to take all the blood was right, she was tempted to release the man right then, but withheld. A thought ran through her mind that startled her very deeply. A young boy riding a bike, smiling up at her and waving his hand. Very confused from the picture, she let the man go, sooner than she needed to. Damen looked at her concerned, and motioned her to continue drinking. With that, she went back to drinking from the man, but not enjoying it as much as she had been. When Damen told her to stop, she quickly let the man go, and backed away. Damen wiped the blood from the mans neck and pulled him into the shadows, so he could come to without anyone noticing.As Tiffany and Damen walked home, Damen watched Tiffany with a concern in his eyes.“What is wrong, you have been acting strange ever since you pulled back from that man?” he finally asked her, hoping to figure it out.“I saw a little boy, he was riding a bike and smiling up at me, waving. How could that be?” she said, glad to have the chance to explain everything to Damen without him thinking she was odd.“That is normal to see the persons memories when taking some of their blood. Some of the memories can be pleasant and others can be very horrifying. Is that why you pulled away from the man?” he asked her, glad that there was nothing seriously wrong.“Yes, I wasn’t sure what was going on. I just never expected to be able to see into that man’s head like that. I know there is a strong connection when a vampire is taking blood from a person, but I never expected it to be that strong.” She said, relived that there was an explanation to what she saw. They walked the rest of the way home in silence, each vampire to their own thoughts, enjoying the night and one another’s company. Damen looking at Tiffany every so often to make sure that Tiffany was ok.
