"Alora! Dear!" Margaret exclaimed, her eyes wide with joy as she extended her arms and placed her hands on Alora's shoulders. "You are awake!" She pulled Alora into a warm embrace, her voice trembling with emotion. "That's unbelievable!" she remarked, pulling back to study Alora's face with an awe and disbelief.
Lillian, standing nearby, looked equally astonished. "But why did Alora wake up so early? I heard she became a vampire, but she looks more human to me," she said, her eyes scanning Alora from head to toe.
Esmond stepped forward, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "I think it's because Alora was always a special kind of human," he said. His eyes twinkled with amusement as he turned to Alora. "Don't you feel thirst for blood?" he asked, his tone light but curious.
