The letter - IV

 I heard movement around me before I opened my eyes at the moment I did, Anna was standing in front of me with the new maid. 

"My lady," she curtsied in front of me, this is Irene. "She is to follow you around as your lady-in- waiting." 

"I already have a lady in waiting. Mer—" I close my eyes, remembering that Merelyn was no longer my lady in waiting, but an actual friend now. When I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed about Irene was that she had red eyes. "She is a vampire." 

One thing about lady vampires was, I did not have a good experience with them. Merelyn, for example, had almost drained me of my blood. Chiara on the other hand, felt like she was always out for it. The moment she would get hands on my blood, I was sure that she would like to take it as well.
