older woman responded. “They say she
could be the one.”
    “What one?” the younger voice asked.
    “The one with the blue eyes,” the older
woman replied in hushed tones.
    The clanking of dishes brought Arianna’s
attention to another conversation.
    “How are the preparations coming?” a shrill
voiced asked.
    “Perfect ma’am,” a young boy responded.
    “It better be, or it will be your job,” the
shrill lady replied. “Everything must be perfect for Miss Arianna’s
coming-out party tonight.”
    Arianna listened to the various
conversations as she finally stopped by listening to her aunt and
uncle outside the door.
    “Is she really alright?” Aunt Lilly asked
Molina. “Is it possible to change without needing a sacrifice?”
    “Devin checked her over last night,” Molina
explained. “She didn’t take much blood, but she took enough to
start the process. She needed more, but once we got her to the safe
house, she refused everything given to her. We would have to put an
IV in her, but we didn’t have time.”
    “But why would she refuse?” Uncle Dean
asked. “I thought, when someone turns, the blood doesn’t matter as
long as it’s blood… and our Ari has never been picky about anything
in her life before.”
    “We don’t exactly know why she refused. But
you have to remember, she’s special,” Molina replied.
    “Is the prediction is true?” Aunt Lilly
asked. “She really is the one everyone has been waiting for?”
    “Yes, Devin confirmed our guess last night.
She is the one in the legend,” Molina responded.
    “What legend?” Arianna asked as she finally
opened her eyes and found Devin holding onto her. Devin pricked his
finger and Arianna felt a warm sensation begin in the pit of her
stomach. Her cheeks flushed as she smelled the scent of his
blood.
    “You need to feed now,” he said, gently
stroking her head as he waited.
    “I don’t know what you’re talking about,”
Arianna replied, trying to keep her eyes open. She was beginning to
feel light-headed and didn’t want to pass out again.
    “Just follow your
instincts,” he replied calmly. “You were born knowing how to feed.
Everyone of your kind is.” Confused, Arianna stared into his eyes.
The tenderness in his voice made her want to follow his directions,
but she didn’t understand what he was talking about. “Close your
eyes,” he said quietly, placing his hand over both her eyes.
Arianna closed her eyes. The scent of his blood seemed to become
more powerful as she did so. Suddenly, without opening her eyes,
she could see a faint outline of Devin sitting next to her. A light
pounding began to thump in her ears. Ba
dump, ba dump, ba dump . With each thump,
she could see his body better. He slowly extended his arm to her.
“Here.” He offered the finger he had pricked.
    Arianna wanted to refuse, but quickly found
herself licking the tip of his finger. The sound of his heartbeat
grew louder as she continued to hold onto his hand. The blood
flowed through his veins to his wrist. Arianna tried to stop
herself, but she was gently licking the throbbing vein in his
wrist. Without understanding why or how, she lightly bit down,
releasing blood into her mouth. Against her wishes, Arianna felt
her world dimming.
    When she finally opened her eyes again,
Arianna was lying alone in the strange new room. Slowly sitting up,
she realized that her strength had returned. She walked to the
nearest large-curtained window and pushed aside the plush, white
velvet. Arianna stared into the expansive garden that spread just
outside her bedroom window. The large fountains were dry, and the
trees were still bare because it was the end of winter, but she
could not help but be in awe of the enormous garden. Behind the
garden, Arianna’s attention focused on the mountain range. There
were no mountains in the Midwest where she was from. Arianna turned
back to the room and continued to look around. The room was
ornately decorated, and everything
