*Nia's POV*

It had been 2 months since we had gotten separated and we were still going from place to place.

One day, we had walked for miles and noticed a sign. It was an insanely hot day so we decided to go into the town and stay there for a bit.

We entered the town and it was beautifully decorated. It was decorated with summery decorations. There were loads of pools and children splashing about.

We could smell some cakes from the bakery and my mouth was drooling from the amazing smell. We popped in and bought some food.

"It smells so nice that I started drooling," I complimented the baker.
"Thank you do much," he smiled as I handed him the money.

As we left the bakery, Erik said, "Look, there's a calendar."
We walked towards it and looked at the date. 10th June 2024. I gasped. It was my birthday.

"Oh my gosh," I whispered to myself.
I could see that Erik and Michelle were also shocked but soon changed their moods. They both started singing happy birthday and I smiled at them.

"Thank you guys, I can't believe that it's already my 18th birthday," I said.
"Me neither, it's been so long," Michelle said.

"We should buy you some blueberry muffins for the occasion," Erik smiled and my face lit up.

We went to buy some muffins and as we got out of the shop, it started to become really sunny. My skin was starting to burn so I assumed the sun was very hot today.

"Why are you so red?" Erik asked.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Yeah, you're really red," Michelle said.
"I must have accidentally drank some alcohol," I joked.

Erik and Michelle smiled at my joke awkwardly. Either they didn't understand it or in fact I was turning really red.

Michelle pulled my hand into some shade. I thought this was weird but I brushed it off, maybe it was just insanely hot.

We decided to sit in an alleyway for a while. I spotted Michelle grabbing a lemon from the lemon orchard we saw previously. She was peeling the skin off with a knife and then she gasped.

"Ow," she commented and sucked on her finger.
My eyes were really focusing on the blood which was really weird.

The blood looked so delicious and I noticed that I was coming really close to her. I felt my teeth growing and then suddenly, Erik grabbed my arms.

Michelle got a mirror from her pocket and shoved it in my face. There was nothing there. I was a vampire.
