The guardians, Ivan and Amelia, stood side by side on Lookout Hill enjoying the landscape
below. The waning days of summer would soon give way to autumn. They took it all in for a
moment before turning their focus to Kula, the half human daughter of Count Dracula, of whom
they were assigned the task of keeping out of harm's way. It was not easy, but it had to be done.
"She's gotten so much stronger, so much more confident in the past ten months," Amelia
"I know," Ivan responded. "Wish we could take credit for it, but the truth is it was her
destiny all along. We just helped guide her in the right direction."
"True, but she still faces many more challenges," noted Amelia. "The United Front Against
Vampires will never stop going after her and the rest of us."
"Let them try," Ivan said. "We'll do whatever is necessary to protect our species—and, of
course, Kula."
"That should definitely keep us on our toes."
He smiled at her. "Maybe not always."
She smiled back. "Perhaps not."
They both concentrated till their eyes reddened and fangs sprouted from their mouths. In an
instant, they had turned into vampire bats, flapping their wings to stay afloat.
Leaving behind Lookout Hill, they flew over the valley, taking advantage of the freedom
they were afforded as creatures of the day and night, before returning to earth and resuming their
lives among the living.
Neither was aware of another vampire bat that had carefully remained hidden behind some
bushes, watching and waiting for the creatures to reappear in human form and walk away.
Only when they were at a safe distance did the bat come out of hiding, flapping its wings
effortlessly before rematerializing as a vampire. Fresh blood dripped from its fangs and its eyes
burned red with a yearning for more. It took a deep breath and managed to hold the temptation in
check for now. Violating the sacred oath against the new norms of society that outlawed taking
what was needed from mortals was a dangerous path to go down. But some things couldn't be
helped.
Yet the vampire was able to resist any such urges as its bloodsucker attributes began to
change and the appearance of a human took shape. Even then, it still took a moment or two
longer for the vampire to regain the equilibrium necessary to function as normal as possible.
It would stay that way only until the overpowering urge to act upon one's natural instincts as a
vampire once again took over.
