A DEADLY SNAKE HIDING ITS VENOM

I woke up with a cold splash on my face. Waking up with a painful jolt of awareness, my watery eyes opened to see the bright light on my eyes. It wasn't pleasant. 

I gasped sharply, feeling the cold water on me, and I saw the same vampire yesterday who led me into the prince's room. He was smiling with a cheerful grin at me, and he said in a sing-song voice. "Time to wake up!"

I woke up feeling more miserable than ever. All I wanted was to sleep. Looking out the window signals that it's too early for this chirpy vampire to wake me up. I almost held back my annoyance and asked, "What are you doing?"

Despite holding back my annoyance, the chirpy vampire wasn't annoyed by my attitude, and he said with a friendly smile, but the seriousness in his eyes was real, "You need to get dressed. The prince won't wait for you. He's not as patient as he looks."
