Jennifer's curiosity got the better of her, and she asked Valentin more questions about his past. "How old are you?" she asked, her eyes wide with wonder.
Valentin smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I am very old," he said. "Older than you can imagine."
Jennifer's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with possibilities. "How old?" she asked again.
Valentin sighed, his expression serious. "I am over 800 years old," he said.
Jennifer's eyes widened in shock. "That's impossible," she said.
Valentin shrugged. "I assure you, it is not," he said. "I have lived for centuries, watching civilizations rise and fall."
Jennifer's mind reeled as she tried to process this information. She had always thought of vampires as creatures of myth and legend, but now she was face to face with one.
Jennifer decided to accept Valentin's offer and stay with him. She was curious about his world and wanted to learn more.
As they walked through the sanctuary, Valentin explained the rules of his world. "We are not like humans," he said. "We have our own laws and our own way of life."
Jennifer listened intently, fascinated by what she was learning. She asked questions and Valentin answered them, explaining the intricacies of vampire society.
As the sun began to set, Valentin led Jennifer to a beautiful mansion hidden deep within the sanctuary. "This is my home," he said, opening the door and gesturing for her to enter.
Jennifer stepped inside, her eyes widening in awe. The mansion was filled with beautiful artwork and furnishings, and it seemed to shine with an otherworldly light.
Valentin smiled, pleased with her reaction. "I'm glad you like it," he said. "You are welcome to stay here with me, for as long as you like."
Jennifer felt a surge of excitement at the prospect of staying with Valentin. She was drawn to him, and she wanted to learn more about his world.
But as she looked into his eyes, she saw something there that gave her pause. Something that made her wonder if she was making a mistake.
