The surprise guest

Clarisse climbed the stairs in thoughts of what her father had said; she was curious to know more about Vampires after the little enlightenment and she was slowly letting go of the anger in her heart for him. From the hallway upstairs, she could hear her mother's voice and that of Garrick downstairs; she was glad that her mom finally had someone to take it all out on, she was sure her dad could handle all that rage and anger.

Thinking about their time together in the woods, she was excited for the next adventures that awaited them. What else was he going to teach her? How to compel people? she can't wait to learn that one trick; it was the most fascinating of all the vampire tricks she has known since time.
