I closed them and I could hear him walking towards me. It sounded like a jingle of a small metal chain. I felt something thin move around my neck and it was cold. I could sense that he put a magical charm on it, but I could not tell what type of charm though.
"Ow! Fuck that burns!" I got worried after a few more seconds of cussing. "Ok, open your eyes."
I opened them and looked down at the shiny silver cross around my neck. I looked up at Bram to thank him, but then I saw that his hand was smoking.
"It is fine," he said as I reached out to grab his hand, "I gave Joy a pair of earrings as well. That way both of you can protect yourselves against mine and other vampires' blood rage," he looked at the ground while blushing, "both of you are my only friends in the world and I don't want to lose that."
He looked me straight in the eyes and I saw them shift from the blood-red to the normal dark emerald green.
"What type of charm did you add to it?"
