ZELDA POV

When I roused, it was warm and I was settled into a nice, comfortable bed.

It wasn't my bed, though, but I was too tired and weak to get up for the moment.

I could hear someone near me, but I kept my eyes closed. At that point in my life, I didn't care what happened to me...I didn't want anyone to hurt me anymore, but my fight was finished before it started.

In our world, a vampire's powers wasn't like that of folklore and legend. We acquired it just like humans acquired talents and some of us never got those talents.

We'd have the speed, healing and the longevity, but nothing else.

I had nothing else.
