"Is there a vampire nest, in the city?"

  "What is a vampire nest?"

  None of them knew anything about vampire nests, not to mention, that they never saw a vampire. Isabel danced to the mother with the child and extended her hands forward to the baby. They quickly exchanged murderous stares and Giovanna gave her the child.

  They didn't stop crying, but Isabel tried to calm him down. She was unsuccessful despite moving around and in no time, she was exhausted and gave her the child back.

  "Cra did you see, I wasn't so bad at it right?"

  "W-What do you want from us?" Asked Niccólo with fear in his voice.

  "We need to stay here for a while until we find another pce to stay. I can pay you if you want?" Said Cra and opened the box with the cold coins. Coins shined at the couple who had never in their life seen that much money. Cra closed the box and smiled at them.

  "Are you going to the church?" Asked with interest. They looked at her in surprise and nodded. They had no idea why would she ask that question, but they didn't intend to lie about anything.

  "Yes."

  "Fuck! Give me your hand."

  Niccólo gave her his hand which Cra didn't want and instead pointed at Giovanna.

  "Your hand!" Said Cra.

  She gave her, her hand and Cra cut her pale with a nail. She tasted the blood and felt the same disgusting taste simir to the Fishman.

  "Do you know someone who didn't go to the church? Your blood taste by the silver."

  "No. Most of our friends are going into the cathedral. We need to help in the construction, so they usually let us stay inside for food."

  "What is happening Cra?" Said Isabel unaware of what was wrong with them.

  "I will not be able to feed on them if they are full of silver. They taste disgusting. We need to find someone who is not drinking water from the church."

  "What do we gonna do about them? If they tell others, guards will surely come looking for us."

  "I don't know. This all is a problem. We wasted too much time before we came here. We will wait till night and go find some bigger family with servants and more people. They will not gonna let them go to the church so they will not have silver in their bodies or maybe we found the nest."

  They quickly decided and then shifted their gaze to the main problem.

  "You will go to work as usual and Giovanna will stay here with us. If you bring someone else I will kill both of them."

  Cra and Isabel agreed with each other and along with Giovanna left for the second floor.

  Both parents were crying which didn't disturb Cra or Isabel and when they left for the second floor, Niccólo didn't wait long and also left for the work.

  *****

  The second floor had only one room with a bed and a smaller bed for the child. Cra and Isabel quickly went into bed and Giovanna was watching like their clothes went off despite her looking.

  This time Cra didn't take any prisoners and pinned Isabel to the bed. Before she tried to bite her, both of them heard Giovanna protest against their actions.

  "It's disgusting. How could you do something like this in front of other people? Do you have any shame in you?"

  They stopped in what they were doing and as Cra looked behind her, she saw blushing Giovanna trying to look away, but she was not able to do so. Cra smiled at her and with that showed her her fangs.

  "Why are you red? Do you want to join us? I will not gonna drink your blood, so you don't need to be scared."

  Giovanna felt completely disgusted by the offer and ran back to the first floor. Cra and Isabel started ughing and continued in their games through the morning.

  At lunch, Giovanna arrived with the food and crying child in her hands. She saw Isabel lying in her own bed naked and the sheets were ripped apart. Everything was covered by sweat and Cra’s scent. Cra was nowhere to be seen. She quietly pced the food on the bed and went back to the stairs.

  "Where is your friend?"

  Isabel opened her eyes and looked at Giovanna. Her vision was a little blurry and she had a hard time seeing where she was.

  "Cra can't stay in the sun and hates light pces. She went under the bed."

  "How much money will you give us? If you promise to give us more, I don't mind too.."

  Giovanna turned away not able to even look at Isabel. She quickly stood up as she wanted to bring Giovanna into the bed, but fell back. She felt as if her head would split apart from the sharp pain and nearly fell unconscious.

  Giovanna was watching her as she was not able to even get out of bed, not to mention do something.

  She quickly pced her son into the cradle and took off her cloths. She was more mature than Isabel and around twenty-three years old. Unlike Isabel, she had a much worse color of her skin and all looked worn down from extensive work and childbirth.
