Shifting in her sleep and realizing the rough surface which rubbed against her skin has now awaken her from her slumber but not able to fully comprehend her surroundings from only opening her eyes halfway. She stretches her arms wide and sits up straight for a moment while simultaneously shutting her eyes then letting a groan slip from her lips. As she does her morning stretch she slowly comes to her senses and realizes she feels awfully thirsty which seemed normal for her since she usually felt parched in the mornings. Although, today felt oddly different as she tries to recollect events that occurred the other day but for some reason can't seem to come to mind. Trying to remember, she decides maybe being able to get some blood flowing would help, so she stands up but falls shortly after, catching herself of course but ending up being on all fours. "Hmm.. That's surely odd. For some reason, I feel weak and sore when I tried to stand up just now" She questions herself but of course doesn't think too deeply into the problem and decides to shrug it off.
"Hmmm.. Maybe it's nothing" She convinces herself and decides to attempt to get back on her feet and stands up but as she's now standing upright, she hears a dripping noise. Similar to it being, like a raindrop hitting the ground so she decides to look around and sees a blood trail and soon enough fear began to surge throughout her body but also a hint of curiosity. Although, her curiosity won the battle, so she followed the trail being quiet as possible without creaking the floorboards and peeks through the door and sees a motionless body but notices the movement of their chest indicating that their faintly alive. Taking a deep breath and gulping down her fear, she gets closer and realizes her thirst is coming back but tries to ignore it and succeeds temporarily but that temptation came back soon after.
As she stepped closer and closer, she hears a faint voice coming from the person before her "Cmmme Heeer" the person mumbles quietly but theirs a hint of fear found in their voice. What? What did they say? Should I get closer? Their is no visible wound but I wonder why they seem lifeless right now. As she was now centimeters away from the body, they moved their head to the side and now she realizes that the person is a little girl but her skin is really pale and begins to worry. "Little girl, what happened to you?" she speaks while trying to lift her head back to the position it was before but before she even is able to reach her other cheek, she sees a trail of blood flowing from her neck. Brushing her hair back and seeing the deep puncture wounds of two dots with a small blood flow that seemed like a small and narrow river.
She gasps quietly, covering her mouth and fails to realize the pale girl is now staring at her with weak eyes with a small smile and manages to say "You did this to me. Don't you remember? To save me from that sickness". She immediately now realizes the thirst she was feeling before wasn't something that she felt normally and begins to pull the pieces together "Then that means…" She slowly begins to reach up to her lips and opens her mouth slightly and touches her now bare fangs and begins to cry "What did I do.."
Sitting straight upright and panting wildly with sweat droplets forming on her forehead and clutching the bed sheets in fear. She looks around the bedroom in a fast manner and realizes it's completely different from her dream and soon comes to her senses that she's in her actual bedroom. Soon enough a light touch grazed her forearm and she looks in the direction that it came from and sees her little sister, who was now half awake from her startled older sister. "What's wrong sissy" the little girl asks quietly with concern on her sleepy figure and soon enough the older sister calms down and smiles warmly and brushes her little sister's bangs to the side and plants a small kiss on her forehead and says "I'm fine. Just had a bad dream. Get some more sleep little one, I'll sleep after you". The little girl smiles sleepily and closes her eyes once again and falls back to sleep and the older sister faces forward again and releases a deep breath and remembering the dream that slight sense of fear was beginning to bother her. So she decides to convince herself that she was overthinking about the dream and reaches to her neck and to her disappointment she herself feels two small holes in her neck.
