I stand on the dark floor. I am early and wait for the boys. Soon i can hear steps, that climb up the stairs. I stand in the same corner where Drew usually stands and i raise my gaze from the floor. Lucifer waves to me in his polite way. I nod to them like whenever i meet someone. 

I get up, since i was sitting and Kevin starts his ready thinked words. "I said we would be late!" he says to his friends. "Be faster next time", Drew says to Kevin and gives me a small smile. "How are you?" Lucifer whispers to me. "I'm all okay", i say. "Good", Lucifer says. 

Drew leads us to one of the houses. "Home sweet home", Kevin says. Wait, they live together? Then why cannot i never see anyone else expect Drew? Just then i spot some bags, maybe the others were in some sort of holiday or something. Drew takes me to one of the bedrooms. It is clearly a shared room he shares with someone. There is a punk bed, two tables and other one is filled with unfinished drawings and paintings clearly his style. The walls are also decorated with his artwork and stuff. They have even realised to put curtains around the sleeping spot in the bottom bed. "Sit down", he says and points at the bottom bed. I shyly sit down on his bed. 

"Well, is there something you specially want to know?" he asks and sits next to me. "Can i draw on your bandage?" he asks. I nod. Drew takes my wrist gently and takes a black pen from next to him, then he puts my hand on his palm and starts to draw. "Well, i do want to know where do you need my blood", i say. "Do you know who we are?" Drew asks gently and keeps drawing. I can see from his eyes he is completely focused on his art. "No..? Humans?" i joke around. "Acutally, i want to be honest, we are not human", Drew says calmly and i can see he is not joking around. "What!?" i ask confused. Drew opens his mouth and shows me his sharp vampire-like teeth. "Cannot be", i chuckle nervously, because i am so confused now. "I know it's hard to belive", Drew starts his words but goes quiet for a moment and only focuses on drawing. In the end he does continue: "Vaelra, we are vampires, or whatever you humans like to call us."

"But.. Ain't it impossible?" i ask carefully, not wanting to hurt his feelings in any possible way. dangerous or not. "Trust me, i showed you my teeth. Do they look unbeliavble to you?" he asks quietly. "I didn't mean to make fun of you!" i say, scared that i did hurt him. 

Drew raises his head from his drawing and looks at me with his deep ocean eyes."What makes you think you said something wrong?" he asks, clearly capable of reading me like an open book. "Be honest", he adds with a friendly smile. "I just thought. Since you asked me that so quietly, i thought you were sad", i admit. Drew again looks at the drawing. "Don't be scaredy cat", he says with a smirk. Relief washes over me, i did not hurt him after all.
