Chapter 43

After some time I find myself enjoying the lecture and the curious stares from my new classmates stop as they focus their attention.

"Who can tell me how long a vampire lives?" Professor Jackson calls out. "Anyone?"

"Forever," a male student calls.

"Is that so?" Professor Jackson asks. "Who else agrees?"

A few students raise their hands. Mei, Travis, Z, and I don't.

I look across to Z. I hadn’t said anything but I remember the night we were attacked. Z had yelled out in frustration. He nods at me.

"Sir?" I call, raising my hand slowly.

The professor motions for me to speak.

"Vampires don't live forever," I say.

"Already think you know more after being in the class for barely an hour?" the same student from before sneers.

It starts. I close my eyes, take a breath, and continue.

"They age slower than humans, giving the impression that they live forever."

"That's why the vampire Elders haven't changed for many years," Z adds.
