Parting With the Party

"Have you ever encountered any vampires before, Miss Camille?" Leo asked her after entering the infirmary.

"Yes, I've had several encounters with vampires before. Why are you asking me these questions?" Camille looked at him with a pondering gaze.

She suddenly frowned when she realized something, "Don't tell me… You encountered a vampire?! Where?!"

Leo quickly put his hands up and shook his head, "No, that's not it. I'm just curious since I have not seen any vampires since I came here even though I keep hearing about them."

"That's a good thing. You don't want to meet them. Trust me on this. If you think it's anything like meeting a monster for the first time, you have no idea how cruel it is."

"Is that so? Can you tell me your first experience with a vampire?" Leo then asked.

Camille closed her eyes and began recalling her first encounter with a vampire.

"I was frozen with fear," she suddenly spoke in a low voice.
