The Vampire's Servant

After School-1

When the final bell rang, I was happy to have my first day of school over with. I wanted to go home and tell Victor everything. It would still be a while before he woke up though. At least an hour and a half. Then we had to test Val and Harmony’s blood.

I didn’t even realize I’d let the flow of the other students take me nearly to the front doors until a familiar hand pulled me to the side of the hallway. It was Val. He had a slightly amused look on his face.

“You were all dreamy eyed, Echo. You need to pay attention or you might get swept away.” He chuckled.

“I was thinking and lost track of what I was doing.” I blushed.

“Come on. Everyone is waiting by your locker. I figured I would hang out here, just in case.”

“Was it that obvious that I was having trouble today?” I asked.
