"Hey Eve," my cousin Eric, hugged me grinning and twirled me in his arms, "I told you, you would see me soon," he said letting me down. I was extremely happy to see him.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him surprised.
"I work for Benjamin," he replied smiling, "Did you come with the king?"
"Yeah, he told something about attacks happening in the west region," I told him, "Do you know what it is about?" I asked him.
"Humans have gone missing and some were attacked by vampires for blood, it's a serious issue. Especially when the law clearly states such things are banned," he explained and I nodded my head.
"So how have you been? You look healthy and happy," he said.
"I'm alright, I have been attending Preston's," I told him.
"That's good," he said thoughtfully," It's a good place to learn things, you know- what's that mark on your neck?" he asked me checking it and I saw his eyes go wide, "Who the hell marked you, Eve?!"
"Did someone force on you?" he asked me angrily.
