The girl moved back and forth, always talking to the plants. "What a crazy girl..." The vampire thought to himself, but while he was distracted thinking about her insanity, she approached with her hands behind her body, hiding something. "Hey! Uh... I have something for you." She looked insecure, her legs trembling, but she still stared up at him. He just replied, trying to sound indifferent, "What do you want?"

This time, he couldn't say what had shocked him most: the flower she offered him with dirty hands or the smile she offered him, the first since he had captured her. If his heart still beat, it would have missed a beat at that moment. "Why...?" It was all he could say, still unable to understand what was happening.

The girl seemed to hesitate at this moment, looking away from the corner and making a move away. More than quickly, he reached out and took the flower for himself. The white rose was so delicate, small and fragile... Just like the human in front of him. His fingers struggled not to skin the flower, just as his instincts repressed the will to kill the girl...

He wanted to kill her. He wanted to follow the vampire rules, but... something prevented him from doing so. And that fact would bring him trouble soon, 'cause the Vampire Council had been warned about his situation and was watching him closely...
