Now, they had to go check around the forest for food. As annoying as it was, they needed something to keep them energized. So they started walking out award, looking for chickens to eat.

That’s when they felt a wall. She put her hand to it, and it seemed like an invisible barrier. They couldn’t go further than this. That was new… did something happen with the beacons? Even if they figured it out, they still wouldn’t be able to pass the barrier.

So, they walked out to the town to look for some food. The beacons were a pain to deal with, but they didn’t actively harm them. That was good, at least.

She walked to the town, strutting in when she realized there were some people huddling around the center beacon. They were staring at it, the beacon a white color.

“What are you people doing?” They feigned obliviousness. She knew how the beacons work, she saw them being built.

“The beacon feels strange when we huddle around it…” The black haired one spoke. They were only half listening, just nodding along. They were thinking about Azaria, hoping she was okay. She wouldn’t go down without a fight, but they weren’t at home when they got back, which they had found strange.

“Well, I suppose I’ll, stay here for a bit. Can’t leave the forest, so why not.” A few of the others looked confused at her.

“What do you mean?” The one with disheveled brown hair spoke. Their ears were covered by their hair.

“It means that there is a barrier that stops us from leaving this town and the forest that surrounds it.” She spoke, bored. Did they not understand?

Sable sat down near the beacon, avoiding further questions. The light felt horrible on their skin, a burning sensation almost. The went a bit farther back from it, as to not have to feel it as much.

Suddenly, without warning, a vibration came from the beacon as it turned orange. The burning sensation became even more potent. A group of people walked in, appearing confused. They started to question the black haired one about the beacon, as Sable tuned out the conversation. This really didn’t matter to her right now.

Apparently, they were now being split up to get resources. Silver and Sable were going to get wood together for the town to use. They need to blend in, they supposed, so they didn’t get staked. And they had a chance to find some food.

The two walked into the forest, stone axes in hand. They had found these in the burnt down houses. They were walking quite far out.

Sable hadn’t eaten anything since they got here. There was a pig nearby but they didn’t want to deal with Silver looking confused.

“So, we need to get some wood. Then let’s start chopping!” Silver spoke, as she chopped at the tree. Sable followed, starting to shop down a different tree. The two stayed silent while doing so. They only stopped when each of them had a stack of logs.

“We can continue going for more deeper, or we can head back.” Sable spoke calmly. They needed to stay calm until Silver left. Then she could eat the wildlife here.

Sable looked around. They were so far out from the town. Silver appeared so tense and guarded.

The two stumble across a dead pig. It had likely been dead for hours. Bite marks were near its back, and it appeared drained of blood. Someone else got to the food first. That’s annoying.

“What- what happened?” They looked just confused. She could help her understand. Understand what happened.

…Azaria was gonna kill them later. But that doesn’t matter right now. 

Sable got right behind Silver, smiling. “Sorry, kid.” She spoke before biting into the other’s neck and sucking the blood from the other.

They struggled against Sable, getting weaker the less blood they had; until Sable let go of them. They were pale, eyes tinted red.

Sable had turned her. That’s a slight issue, because if they told the others, they would kill her. Well, here comes the social game. Sable always hated this part. She hadn’t turned that many people ever, but explaining everything was always annoying.

“What did you do!?” The other shouted, seeming terrified. They backed up from the other. Sable took a step towards her.

“Relax, it’s all fine. You’ll live. Forever, actually.” They speak calmly to the other, trying to soothe them slightly. They remember when they were just turned.

“Did you just bite me?! Why’s everything cold?!” They grab Sable’s shoulders tightly, panicky. “EXPLAIN!”

“Geez, calm down for a second. I just turned you into a vampire, that’s all.” She said this as if it was nothing, even though she knew it changed the trajectory of this person’s life forever.

“…What? What do you mean a vampire…?” They were staring right at Sable, as she sighed.

“I mean those creatures of the night that turn into bats and have a really bad reputation. What else would I mean?!” They started to get annoyed by how little Silver knew.

“…oh lord. I- I need to-“ She tried to run off but Sable stopped her by grabbing her shoulder. They couldn’t let that happen.

“What would happen if you told everyone about this?” They spoke coldly. “They would stake you immediately, wouldn’t they? They don’t know you, and they would assume you are a monster. Because you are.”

Silver looked stunned, silent. They stopped completely. It was a strange sight. They would’ve expected more struggling, but this works.

“We may be able to find another vampire here, because I wasn’t the one who left that pig like that. But for now, we head back to the town. Oh, and Silver?” She grabs the others wrist tightly. “We won’t mention a word of this to the others, now will we?

Silver is quiet for a while, before nodding. The two walked back to town.

No one would have to know what happened.
