The next morning I woke up roughly at 5am. I had a feeling it was because of what Lilith said, because vampires didn't need much sleep that I wasn't sleeping as often as I used to. In fact, ever since I had arrived here, I had felt kind of strange, like I was changing inside myself.I was seriously starting to believe I actually was a vampire!...Yeah, right!
