Zane had just stepped out of the shower as he mother yelled for him. Dinner was ready, at least he no longer stunk like wet dog. He hurried down the two flights of stairs and slammed right into Jethro, his older brother. The older man glared at him, baring his fangs. "Watch it Zane." he hissed.<br/><br/>Zane apologized then hurried into the dinning room where his mother and father were already seated. He took his usual seat and watched as Alysta entered the room and sat next to him.<br/><br/>"Well its a good thing you dont smell like dog anymore." she whispered in his ear, too quiet for their parents to hear.<br/><br/>Zane flashed her one of his smiles then grabbed the goblet of blood from the table. "What if i could end this war?" he whispered back after taking a sip.<br/><br/>"How?"Alysta asked curiously.<br/><br/>"I met this she-wolf and theres something special about her."<br/><br/>"But you are a vampire, Zanifer. We live centuries longer than they do."<br/><br/>"I know that," he pleaded in a hushed voice. "But for some reason i cant forget her. I plan to find her again tonight."<br/><br/>Alysta sighed. "You are a daft fool, Zane. Please let me come with you so i know you'll be okay."<br/><br/>Zane nodded and finished his dinner. He whispered something to her then announced his departure and ran back upstairs.
