comes out as I speak.
    “ Yes, Sophia, I know this is going to be difficult for all of us. We are used to the donated human blood we have been feeding ourselves with, but the fresher it is the better. We have discussed things and have a few thoughts about how to go about getting fresh blood.”
    “ What about Danika? There’s no way that at only a year and a half she can handle fresh blood! I’m terrified at how the rest of us will cope, and you all know I don’t trust her as it is.”
    “ We have already decided that she will remain on her usual diet, for everyone’s protection,” he informs. “As for the rest of us, we find willing live donors.”
    “ Who the hell will that be? We need to still keep our cover. It’s not like we can take an ad out in the Sunday paper.”
    “ Very true my dear. When we were discussing our options our wonderful witch friends have offered to help by providing some for us. Another option is to practice our compelling skills. Using transients will be best. We can compensate them as well,” Florence adds.
    “ Okay, you are telling me that Ebony and her family have offered us their blood? Not a chance, they’re my friends, I will not bite any of them! Then the matter of using transients–what if they are drug users or have diseases? Won’t their blood be tainted? Will that not affect us?”
    “ Have you completely lost all your senses, Sophia? We should all be able to smell a tainted vessel from miles away,” Isaac snaps. “If using tainted blood is the only option, our bodies will repair from the disease. The only downfall is that uses energy, so it is better to avoid bad blood.”
    “ Vessel?” Eliza questions.
    Isaac chuckles and explains. “Sorry…old word for human, or the vessel for the blood.”
    “ Okay. Yes, I guess my emotions got the best of me. You have been talking about feeding off the only friends I have had in over a century. Yeah, just a little overwhelmed here,” I say defensively.
    “ Sophia, don’t worry about it. You and your family need fresh blood to ensure your strength. The good news is I have lots of it. Isaac explained that it will not be much and never by a bite. He’ll use his medical equipment. This will prevent the spread of venom in our system. We’ll be fine.” Ebony is very convincing. “Our magical blood should enhance you in other ways as well, like making your own powers stronger.”
    “ Okay, but won’t the blood loss weaken you?”
    “ We will only use minimal amounts and during the day, so they can replenish before night fall,” Isaac assures.
    I sit down in the family room in an attempt to process the plan. I need to ensure my mind has full mental clarity. With a few calming moments, I agree. We can’t protect this town and its people that have come to mean so much to us if we are weakened. Drinking fresh human blood is the only way we can win this fight.
    We finish deciding how to go about things, the feeding, and the fight and so on. I figure now is the time to check up on Nathanial. I want Alexander to come with me, but not to be seen. I’m hoping that Alexander can get in to Nathanial’s subconscious and ensure me that all is copasetic.

 
    Chapter 5
    Training
     
    It’s about one in the morning and the whole house is dark and quite. Alexander stays to the side of the house by the old maple tree. I scale the wall to Nathanial’s room and sliding the window open, I climb inside without making a noise. Nathanial is sound asleep. I go over to the side of his bed and watch him for a few minutes. Alexander has open communication of thoughts with me; “ Can you see into Nathanial’s dreams?”
    “ More clearly than I would like too.”
    Alexander is able to get in to Nathanial’s dream, and we both watch. I am quite surprised to see what’s in there. Nathanial is dreaming about us, and our future. We seem so happy and everything seems perfect. I’m glad to see this is what he dreams about.
    I can feel his dream
