Days End

Purity quickly shut the door and the lights off, feeling shocked.

“Wolf, Demon, now a Vampire? Grandmother, what have you done? What have I gotten myself into?”

Her words echoed in the room's darkness as she plopped on the bed and stared at the balcony doors. Unsure if she had heard the whole conversation, Purity knew the meaning of it.

A lump in her throat started growing as thoughts of her life in the past couple of weeks played out. From the phone call about her grandmother dying in the hospital, the accident, and finding out she had been cared for by a pack of wolves and a demon, she didn’t think life could get more demanding. But now, a vampire?

A knock at her bedroom door broke her from her thoughts, “Come, come in,” she said hesitantly, knowing there was no use pretending to be asleep.

Purity watched as Johnathan’s face came around the door frame in the dark. She couldn’t make out his expression, but his voice sounded as if he was concerned.
