“Did you have a nice time, this morning?”

I frown at Remus’ question, until I realise it’s nearly six am and we’ve just finished dinner. Nocturnal living is going to take some getting used to, that’s for sure.

“Yes,” I answer, screwing up my face in confusion. I can’t say I expected that, but he and Dimitri are good company, and other than the blood incident, they easily had me forgetting they’re vampires. That I’m a vampire.

This day has been as weird as they come. I’m really not sure how it happened. Well other than by vampire bite. I’m clear on that bit at least.

“I’m glad.” He leans against my bedroom door, almost like one of those men from a rom com. The ones that always get the girl, and always manage to look suave doing it. Except, he’s not looking at me like one of those men would. The way he’s looking can only be described as soft. There’s emotion there. Not that emotion. But there is a little bit of caring there. And a lot of protectiveness.

I’m really not sure how to process the last one. I’m not the kind of girl who wants or needs protecting. Hell, I can do the protecting of others too if I need to. But there is a small part of me that likes it. Probably the part that’s linked to the little girl l used to be. The one who did dream of being protected. Until she realised that’s not how the world works.

That realisation is still with me to this day. Except now some of the facts are being turned on their head. Vampires are an open secret. Humans vary from interacting with them willingly, to just being aware of their existence. But no one seems to know how internal vampire structure works. Which is a little odd, come to think of it. There’s no reason for people not to know. Especially with some of the government making no secret of the fact they’re vampires. The one thing I’d always secretly admired about them was that they didn’t try and force through any legislation that would repress humans. As far as I’m aware, they haven’t even tried to pass any through that just benefitted vamps either.

In hindsight, maybe that should have tipped me off that everything isn’t like the guild claims it is. Clearly vampires really aren’t that bad. I frown again, before coming back to myself and meeting Remus’ confused gaze.

“You alright there, Ashryn?” he asks.

“Sorry, got lost in thought.” And here I go again, realising that no one has tried to shorten my name. Dimitri’s either. If I had to, I’d respond to Ryn, but never, ever, to Ash. The name just isn’t me.

“Anything interesting?” He seems genuinely curious, but I’m not quite ready to share my observations on society in general. That can wait for when we know each other better. There I go again, making assumptions we will. No one should assume. It makes an ass out of u and me.
