It has been a few days since I found out a few things about Christian. Since that day I kept following Christian at night, but this night was not very active I would say but, on this night, though, we were about maybe one or two million meters from his house when he said, "You can come out now Rachel and also stop following me, ¨ turning to where I am hiding.

 I take a breath before walk out well saying, ¨ I kind of knew that you knew that I was following you. ¨

He then sat down and said with a laugh, ¨ First off, that sentence made no sense and second, I see you are reading my mind. ¨

¨ Wait, I never told you I can read minds, ¨ I say confused about how he knew I could read minds as I walked over to where he is sitting and sat down a few feet away from him.

¨ It was not hard when you could foresee my moves before I even did them, and you also were able to follow me. Oh, and you are horrible at math, yet you always get the right answers, ¨ he says smiling. ¨ So why are you even following me anyways? ¨ he says after a second silence.

¨ So when I see you about to kill a good vampire I will save them, ¨ I say confidently.

He then says, ¨ If that is the case then you should join the V.K.A. ¨

¨ What is the V.K.A, ¨ I ask confused.

¨ V.K.A is short for Vampire, Killing, Assignment, and also, we don't just kill vampires we also kill superhumans or I should say try, they are some tough cookies ¨ he says.

¨ Wait then why is it called V.K.A and not V.S.K.A, ¨ I say confused.

¨ First V.S.K.A does not go smoothly together and second, we kill vampires way more than we kill superhumans and they are really hard to kill, ¨ he says with no smile.

¨ Anyway why would I ever join V.K.A anyway, ¨ I say confused.

¨ Well you would most likely not have to hide behind fences as much and I can ask the higher ups to have you join up with me, so you don't have to go through training, ¨ he says as he stands up and holds out his hand to help me up.

I take his hand and he help me to my feet, as I say, ¨ Fine I'll join but just to keep my eye on you. ¨

¨ Ok, ¨ he says as he smiles.  After a few minutes of walking, we came to the end of an alleyway.

¨ Christian this is the end of an alleyway, ¨ I say in a confused voice.

¨ I know, but this is a special alleyway, ¨ Christian says, walking to the end wall and putting his hand on the wall and sliding it along the wall.

¨ What are you do-," I say before getting cut off as Christian stops his hand and pushes a brick on the wall. When he does that, the wall splits open and reveals an elevator.

¨ Princess first, ¨ Christian says, bowing towards me.

¨ Oh, ha ha, very funny, ¨ I say, while walking in the elevator as Christian follows behind me. I see three buttons in the elevator. Christian then pushed the second button that is labeled "Hangout area". ¨ Christian, why are we going to the Hangout area," I asked as the elevator descends.

¨ Well, I will be showing you around. Oh, by the way here, ¨ he said, throwing me a lit candle. When I fill the light, I feel my wings and fangs disappear.

¨ Why do I have this, ¨ I say confusedly.

¨ Well you are walking into a place where people kill vampires, ¨ he says with a smile as if he's not worried at all that I could get killed.
