“You humans?” Jay thought.

His next question for her was obvious.

“If you're not a human, then.. what are you?” he squinted.

“I am a close child of the five...” she said proudly, “but your kind calls us 'vampires'.” she added mockingly.

Jay looked at her confused, and seeing his un-surprised expression, she too gave him a confused look back.

To each other, they both seemed like anomalies.

“...You're not scared of me?” she asked - ironically it was a question Jay had been wanting to ask her, as she was surrounded by his skeletons and sitting on a platform made from hundreds of corpses.

“I actually don't know what a vampire is,” he shrugged.
