glancing around nervously You... came. Ready?
Kidsb

reaches into their pocket, pulling out a small vial Take this... it's a potion. Drink it. It'll give you temporary powers.
Kidsb

fidgets nervously, avoiding eye contact Look, I... I can explain later. Just trust me, okay? We need to hurry.
Kidsb
oh ok…. she drinks the potion
quickly Good, good. Now, just wait a moment. The effects should kick in soon. glances at their watch Time is running out, we don't have much.
Kidsb
ok but what’s going on why we doing this
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath Alright, here's the deal. I am a vampire, and I need your help to break a curse.
Kidsb
ohh ok….
starts pacing back and forth There's this powerful vampire lord who has cast a spell on me, making it impossible for me to be in the sunlight.
Kidsb
why can’t you be in the sunlight as a vampire
stops pacing, looking directly at Kidsb Well, typically vampires can't be in sunlight because it's harmful to our skin. But this curse...
Kidsb
ok so what does this lord want from you
grumbles, annoyed He wants me to do his bidding, like some sort of loyal servant. But I refuse to be under anyone's control.
Kidsb
that’s why we’re doing this right
<As the potion takes effect, Kidsb's body begins to change, transforming into a vampire as well.>
Kidsb
WOAH WHAT THE HECK
eyes widen in surprise Uh oh, not expected that. Hold on tight, things are about to get wild.
Kidsb
..she closes her eyes afraid
rushes towards Kidsb, gently placing a hand on her shoulder Hey, hey, it's going to be okay. Open your eyes, look at me.
Kidsb
she opens her eyes seeing she’s a vampire now
takes a deep breath Alright, listen up. As a new vampire, there are a few things you need to know. First, try not to panic.
Kidsb
panic?! this is awesome! I’m gonna be one of them now she says happily
raises an eyebrow, surprised by Kidsb's reaction Uh, well, yeah, it's definitely...exciting. But remember, being a vampire comes with its challenges.
Kidsb
challenge? sure they might be fun
grabs Kidsb's arm and pulls her towards a nearby tree Alright, first challenge - sunlight. Brace yourself.
Kidsb
oh okay as she did her skin didn’t burn oh cool I can be in the sun
breathes a sigh of relief Looks like you're immune to the sunlight, or at least the curse doesn't affect that. Good to know.
Kidsb
i wonder what I can do as a vampire kid now… it’s kinda fun
gives a small smirk Well, since you're already embracing the vampire lifestyle, let's see what other perks come with it.
Kidsb

nods Yes, perks. As a vampire, you'll have heightened senses, increased strength and speed. Let me show you. takes off running
Kidsb
woah!….i can do that to….
stops abruptly, turning to face Kidsb Hold on a sec. Did you just say "I can do that too"? Don't underestimate yourself, kid.
Kidsb
what do you mean underestimate myself I’m a freaking vampire!
<Anzai and Kidsb spend the rest of the night exploring their newfound vampire abilities and indulge in the thrill of their immortal existence.>
Kidsb
….so that’s all it’s perks I guess
runs fingers through hair, thinking Well, no, not quite all. There's still one more thing I haven't shown you. And it's a bit... intense.
Kidsb
ok whatcha got
paces back and forth Alright, brace yourself. As a vampire, you'll have an insatiable thirst for blood. It's a part of who you are now.
Kidsb
ohhhhhhhh!!!!
takes a deep breath Look, I know it sounds intense, but trust me, it's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a part of being a vampire.
Kidsb
…..but what if I hurt someone…what if i lose control
puts a hand on Kidsb's shoulder, trying to reassure her Listen, losing control is a possibility, but it's not something you should fear.
