The vampire's arrival had caught Althea off guard, and her initial reaction was a mixture of awe and fascination. She had read about vampires in books and heard countless legends, but encountering one in the flesh was entirely unexpected.
Althea was usually quiet when it comes to new people but how can she not fan girl when she sees one of the most mystical and rare creatures to ever exist.
"Who are you?" the vampire inquired, her dark red eyes fixated on Althea.
Althea, unable to contain her curiosity, blurted out, "Wow, are you like a real vampire? Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that I've only heard about your species in books and stuff. I never expected you guys to exist."
The vampire arched an elegant eyebrow, clearly taken aback by Althea's unusual reaction. "Excuse me?" she replied.
