They were still at the hotel when it was their second day in Greece, didn't know that they were simply wasting their time deciding where to go next, there were just too many good places to go. But then destiny were too kind to them there, someone just knocked at the door. Jake opened it, revealing a man and woman standing in front that looked like having the same ages.

As soon as he opened the door, the two immediately gave him a smile. Clarissa stood and followed to see who it was. She could see a very tall man that had his skin so purely white, his hair that was blonde. Same as the woman standing beside him, same features as well. But as far as she could predict, these looked vampires too. "Are you two the Mullens?" The man asked.

Jake looked at her, as if he was trying to ask something to her, and Clarissa got his point quickly as he looked. They exchanged glances and eventually nodded at the same time. "Great-" the woman responded, but she wasn't finished yet to talk when the two told them to go in. The four of them went and sat there in a desk chair, then the woman sighed.

"So, what's up?" Jake asked when there was quietness, it seemed like the two have already forgotten to introduce themselves. "Oh, sorry." The man said when he realized it. "My name is Michael." He told them, and looked at his companion, by the looks he was giving, Clarissa could tell he was telling her to introduce herself too. "And I'm Athena." She said, gave a grin at them, but it disappeared quickly, and scowled at the boy. "Her name was from the famous greek names." He informed, then laughed at his own statement. "Well, anyway we're here to be your tour guides." Michael said. "That's exactly what we need!"

"Who hired you guys?" Jake suddenly asked, right after she spoke. Suspicion was in his eyes. These are humans, Jake told her telepathically. She wanted to respond, but she just couldn't. She was wrong, these people were humans, pure ones. But it was no big deal. She sniffed, as careful as possible, for it not to be too obvious. She could smell the scent of these humans.

"Ah, it's someone named Vanessa and Lucas. Is it right? Do you know them?"

"Why didn't she tell us?" Clarissa whispered as quiet as possible. "I don't know." He replied, the words barely readable.

"Ah, yes. Okay, so what good place could we possibly visit?" Jake asked, now folding his arms, getting fascinated. "There are honestly a lot of places to go, sir Mullen-" he was interrupted by Jake. "Please, just call me Jake. That would be too formal. I mean we're all in the same ages, right?"

"Okay, Jake. So, as I was telling you, there are definitely countless of places to go into. But, I suggest we choose the ones that aren't too much far from this hotel. Which is the beach right over there near this building. We could just not swim there, but also tan our skin just a little bit under the sun, isn't that exciting? How many days do you have here in Greece, Jake?"

He first looked at Clarissa, then back to them. "I don't know. Unlimited, I think." He replied. "Yeah, we could stay here as long as we want." She added. "Outstanding. Then, I suppose we could explore the whole country. But, not necessarily. No, of course not. Are you guys interested at hiking? Mountain climbing, or stuff like that?"

"Yes, definitely." Clarissa answered excitedly. "We could do that in the third day." Athena said. "How far is the nearest mountain then?" Jake asked them impatiently. "It depends, Jake. But don't worry, it's just near the place."

The couples agreed. "What else, we could take you to our museums, too." Michael said as he mused. "Just take us to the best places. Prove to us how Greece is worth visiting." Clarissa said it all. Athena clapped her hands at excitement and happiness. "Yes, ma'am. Will do." Michael smirked.

They began it, going to the beach together. Just the two of them, Michael and Athena giving them a little privacy there. The beach was indeed full of beauty and wonder, its waters having a purely colored blue and was clean. Its waves rising perfectly as one surfer beat it successfully. White glitters on the water shining incredibly on their eyes, blinding them almost.

They were contented watching the water, the whole day being spent just by sitting down on the sand- appreciating the beauty of nature, the beauty of Greece. Nature wasn't only good to them, but also the citizens living there, the Greeks. Who were being friendly to them, and now, they were part of a group forming a small circle. Playing games. Each of them were couples, some married, mostly, and some were not. Telling their love story didn't have to be hidden, and so they all told it.

When it was the Mullens' turn. Jake spoke and narrated it to them, saying that theirs was the shortest. So close, that they were caught vampires. Luck is on their side. Everyone clapped when they ended, half of them gave their opinions, sometimes, even questions that were already uncovering their privacy. It all happened until the night came.
