The air was cool and chilly. The moon light shines brightly through the thin curtains. The light aqua color of the fabric lights up the entire room making it look as if they were underwater. The mysterious woman softly groans. Forcing herself to open her eyes as they were extremely heavy. A loud ticking sound fill the quiet room as a small grandfather clock hangs from the wall across from her. She turns her head slightly and sees Mina slowly yawning as she stretches from sleeping on the couch. As she turns her head the other way, she sees Roth as he's leaning against the window staring out into the night. She slowly gets up struggling to lift herself up. Mina rubs her eyes and sees her getting up to which she jolted herself awake and went to help her.

"Oh my gosh! Big brother she's wake!"

Roth turns to her direction but not leaving his spot from the window.

"That was quicker than I imagine, I assumed you would still be sleeping longer."

"Where...where am I...?"

"You're at the guild's Infirmary. We made a whole elaborate story how we found you and that we would help you get well until you're back on your feet. It should deter anyone coming in."

"Oh... I see... because of the...thing..."

"Yeah, the licking of my face and mass slaughter kind of put me in weird spot. The fact that you didn't rip us apart limb from limb as well shows you're not bad, at least I hope that's the case."

The woman looks away in deep shame and grips the blanket covers tightly.

"I... I'm afraid to say... I know you think of me as a monster now. After seeing me like that...I...I..."

Mina walks up to her and places her hand on hers. She slightly twitches from being startled but looks in confusion.

"It's okay, you can tell us. I can tell you're a good person. No matter what you say, we will listen to all of it."

Her eyes swell up with tears, but she doesn't cry. She mumbles the words still afraid. Mina looks at her with a curious look but is still patient.

"You sure...?"

"Believe in what she says. What she said is true. Just explain."

She looks down for a moment and takes a deep breath in.

"...Amaya... my name is Amaya... I'm... I'm a vampire... okay... what you saw, was me losing control. I was born as a vampire, and I don't know why. Both my parents were human. I was betrayed by the house I was serving, and they wanted to get rid of me. So they chained me up and placed a seal on me so I wouldn't starve underground. Making that my prison forever. That group found me and started using me to take blood vials. I don't know what for, but they would tempt me every time they do it. I can handle not drinking blood, but with nothing to eat and placing a bowl of blood in front of my face while I'm weak from that seal. I was going insane."

Mina looked in awe at her as she was sad hearing what happened to her. Roth didn't change his expression, He simply asked more questions,

"When did you realize you were a vampire?"

"When I was little, a maid found me with a hen still alive in my mouth as I was sucking it's blood. Over the years I've gotten use to not drinking blood. Food was enough for me I just have to eat twice as much. So I never really drank any human blood at all."

"So long as you eat normally just like us you can live your life without ever drinking any human blood?"

"Yes, of course. I never really had cravings like that. It was just... not eating a single thing and just have blood in front of you. Taunting you, not having a single drop. It was pure hell."

"What about certain foods like garlic. Are you weakened by them? Or silver? Holy water? Maybe burning in the sunlight"

"What...? No I'm not weak to any of those. I was baptized as a baby by the holy church as well."

Roth grabs his chin and now ponders in deep thought. The type of vampires he knows in his world is vastly different than this one. He's decided to read more about this world's vampire culture when he gets a chance. He looked towards her still with his arms crossed.

"So you have no cravings at all for human flesh or blood."

"No I don't have any cravings at all. And I'm really sorry about before, the face thing I mean..."

She blushes again with pure embarrassment. Roth exhales and slowly walks towards the door.

"Mina, tighty up her room and let her sleep. Give her some rest, it's still really early."

"Aye aye big brother! You can count on me!"

He nods and leaves the room to go to his own room right next door. Mina hums softly as she picks up the food trays the two were eating during her sleep.

"You two were really watching over me..."

"Of course, after you collapsed, we couldn't just leave you in the hole now could we."

"I don't think your brother likes me very much..."

Mina giggles softly as she grabs the covers of her bed and sets her back down to rest.

"Oh don't worry, my brother may look grouchy and grumpy, but he is a very kind person. After all, he was the one who helped you out of that hole and made sure only we would be healing you and no one else because of what you told us. So don't you worry. Just get some good rest and relax."

"Oh...well... alright then..."

Mina head pats her gently before exiting the room making sure she is comfortable to sleep. As the door closes, the loud ticking of the clock can be heard once more. Only to be snuffed out by the sounds of sniffling. Tears streamed down her face as a spot on the silk of the pillows began to pool. She grabs tightly to her blanket as she sobs not remembering how long she has been treated this kindly before.
