Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

I plopped on the sofa in the master bedroom while trying to shake off the unpleasant feelings that swelled inside me during my talk with Calista over a glass of blood.
Guilt, anxiousness, dejection. There was even some anger mixed in.
I didn't want to reveal to Calista that I can absorb vitality, but she saw me drinking blood and I knew that unless I reveal something believable, we will be back to talking about Aldus and I didn't want her to know that he is in eternal sleep. I concealed one secret by revealing another.
I thought that she will be amazed by me drying up the plant and the talk will be over, but then it turned into something much bigger than I could imagine. Yes, I got the benefit of finding out some top-secret information, but it came at the price of Calista knowing that I have the ability specific to their bloodline and now I'm at risk of her telling her parents. Damn it!
