When I opened my eyes I found Alaric smiling down at me. "You figured it out?"
I nodded, "I did."
"Did Minx miss something?"
"What?" I blinked at him and it was only now I realized how late it had gotten. The sun was high in the sky and everything around us had been packed up.
"Minx said she got everything she could find." I checked my condition list and gasped. Sure enough she had fully healed me.
"How powerful is she?!" I thought.
"A lot stronger than you are God Blessed," Minx chuckled. I blushed. Shit! Must have said that out loud. Really gotta work on that.
I shot her a look. "I have time to grow. Food?" I asked, looking towards Alaric. He handed me some jerky. I shoved it into my mouth. I was starving. It had been nearly a full day since I had had solid food. "Do all Vampires need to eat?" I questioned.
"All Vampires can eat but only those of low bloodline need to." I turned to catch the sneer on the mans face. Like me he had red hair but his eyes were brown. He was a tall, broad man. I was surprised to watch him duck his head down. It was submissive in nature. I turned my head to catch Alaric flashing his fangs in a silent hiss.
I moved to peel his lips further back. The others around us froze for a moment before moving a step forward. Likey to stop me but Alaric rose a single pale hand towards them. They halted and watched as I looked. Alaric had four upper fangs and two lower. "You have more fangs," I said in awe.
He chuckled as he pulled my hands from his mouth. He took the chance to nick one of my fingers on those fangs first though. His mouth closed around my finger and sucked gently. I forced my face into neutral but I could see the appeal. "Our fangs vary from sub race, age, and rank all factor into fang size and amount," he replied.
"My blood holds no benefits for you," I pointed out.
He smiled at me which made me frown. "Yet."
"Yet?" I questioned.
Minx laughed. "They haven't told you anything have they?"
"I had never met a vampire before so..." I trailed off. My Dads probably could have filled me in. Then again just how much did they know. Each race had its own secrets. Alaric carried me to the wolf while also giving me more food. I ate quickly. Too hungry to bother with manners. Papa would fall into dispear if he ever found out. He already thought I was too much like the boys.
"You are not fully evolved yet. Nor have you awakened your class. Once you turn sixteen you will gain those."
I pulled up my system again.

I felt myself frown. "My class is locked..."
Alaric looked back down at me, "What?"
"I already have a class. It's just locked," I said with a shrug. Where the hell had Lady come from?
His eyes widened, "Do you know how you unlock it?"
"Probably when I come of age. You said people get their class at sixteen. Makes sense for mine to be locked until then." I shrugged. He seemed to consider that before nodding. "Do you know why my bloodline says Vampire Low?"
"You became a Vampire because they gods willed it so. As you have never come in contact with a Vampire before there was no way you were turned. Like me you will eventually rise to Origin Vampire with time."
"But you were a born Vampire. Is that not why you are a Lord class?"
"I was born half Vampire. True Pure Blood Vampires are rare. I had a choice to Awaken my Vampire Bloodline or not. Clearly I chose to do so. I am Lord because my Father was Lord before me and because I started my own line of turned Vampires. You will meet some Pure Bloods when you do you Debut.
As my Beloved you are automatically a Lady unless your class is higher. You may also have multiple Classes which you would be able to switch between as needed or desired. That must be your locked Class."
"I just do not understand. Why make me a Vampire? I have nothing against Vampires," I rushed out, "But I hate what I have become. No one will let me cut my hair and I am forced to wear dresses." I glared at the skirts of the dress I had been wearing for the last two days. It could not be helped since I had nothing to change into.
I caught someone mumbling quietly. The red head again. I was really starting to hate him.
Alaric glared at the man in warning before turning back to me. "Who made you feel this way? Or rather why do you feel this way?" I looked away from him.
"I do not know," I mumbled. I could feel the weight of his stare.
"Would you like me to cut your hair?" My eyes snapped to him. "I could. It would not be hard. I can not do anything about your dress but if you truly wish to cut your hair then we can do it." I felt my lips part in surprise. Since my change everyone had made a point to try and make me more feminine. I found myself nodding before I even thought about it. Before I could blink I felt the weight on my head change. Felt the breeze on my scalp. I felt a smile over take my face as tears came to my eyes.
I had kept my hair short my entire life on this world. Dads had left it alone. Likely believing I would grow out of it. That I as the only female would grow to like long hair and dresses once I saw all the other pretty girls. Instead it had made me want to dig my heels in even more.
"There now," Alaric said. "You have never looked more beautiful." He smiled down at me. I could not stop the tear that escaped and rolled down my cheek. Such a child!
He pulled me into his chest. "Long hair or short, dresses or pants, I care not. Anyone worth having in your life would never care about such things so long as you are happy." I knew his overcoat had to be getting wet. I did not care. For the first time in my life... I felt truly seen.
