"We don't have a doctor in our vilge. I think others will be more than happy that Miss will gonna stay for a while in the vilge until your friend will gonna be healed." Pietro didn't know how to handle the situation, as he knew that Cra was not a doctor.

  "That would be great if we could stay in your vilge for some time. Why don't you tell me more about your vilge on our way there?"

  As Cra tried to inspect Isabel’s wound, she could with feel what was going on and was happy that she drank the blood wine with Charlotte. Without that, she will not be able to know how to treat any kind of little complicated injuries, because she didn't experience any of them on her own or her parents.

  The horse started to drag the carro, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Pietro felt as if they met a walking disaster, and Lia found some simir age to talk with.

  Lia quickly lost interest in paying attention to the road and left her father to hold the rains and moved to the back of the carro to sit next to Cra.

  Lia was a slender thirteen-year-old girl with short, dark brown hair that she kept tied back with a simple cloth ribbon. Her skin was lightly tanned from working in the fields, and her deep brown eyes held a mix of curiosity and quiet determination. She wore a simple, earth-toned wool dress, slightly too big for her, with a belt cinched at the waist.

  "Once we get into the vilge, I will show you and your friend all my friends. Our vilge is not very big, but I have a lot of friends there and me and my father were chosen to go to the city to sell everything which we didn't need and buy useful things before the harvest."

  Lia continued to talk for long time, until the sun was started to set down and they were forced to stop and stay there for the night.

  As soon as they stopped, Lia quickly got out of the carro and ran to the water stream.

  Cra didn't really understand her, but seeing that Isabel was sweating like crazy, she knew that being the whole day on the direct sun was not the best for everyone.

  "Father. We should start a fire for the night."

  Pietro didn't even unhitch the horse, and Lia already went into the water. Cra in the meantime took Isabel off the carro, so he will be able to set move the horse away and gently nded her into the grass.

  "Cra, water is not too cold, why don't you wash your clothes here?" Lia was pying in the river and Cra didn't know if this will gonna be a good idea to let them know that she is a vampire.

  Cra quickly set her mind and as she let the bnket off her body, exposing her night garments. Lia and Pietro saw that her body was covered with blood, but her body was intact.

  Sun was already hidden behind the mountains, so Cra was not forced to cover herself with the bnket and hide from the sun. As soon as the bnket hit the ground, Cra felt more and more free as the night was slowly arriving.

  As soon as they saw Cra's white hair, snow white skin and dazzling red eyes, Pietro felt that as soon as the darkness will descend, they will be in complete mercy to her.

  Cra took off all her cloths and descendent to the river. Unlike her cloths, which were destroyed, her body was healed without any scars.

  "Lia. Could you wash my clothes? It's hard for me to wash them on my own."

  Cra’s clothes were on the shore and as Cra went closer to Lia she showed her thin hands with long sharp nails, which were at first look quite

  Water in the river was cold, but for Cra, who lost most of her human senses which could tell her if the water is cold or not was quite handy right now and submerged herself into the water.

  Lia was surprised by Cra’s behaviour, but she unlike her father didn't mind her and quickly get out of the water to help her with the cloths.

  Cra went deep into the river and let the water to drag her like it wanted. Soon she disappeared under the surface. Moving with the current, Cra felt faint presence of the fish moving inside the river, so she stopped doing nothing and quickly moved closer to them.

  Fish were moving against the current and didn't react to Cra until she was right next to them. As she was right next to the, Cra moved with an incredible speed and her nails pierced though one of the fish. The fish had no way to flew as Cra crushed its head and pushed herself forward another one to catch it.

  Cra managed to catch two more, before they moved too far away to track, and she was forced to emerge from the water to breed. Cra found herself quite far away from the starting position, so she decided to go back by foot.

  As soon as she stepped out of the river, the smell of blood from the fish spread through the air and Cra felt urge to go back to Isabel and quickly pictured Lia.

  Lia and Pietro were both from poor vilge and had no access to holy water. Thinking about the blood made Cra to go faster and soon she arrived at the pce where they stopped.

  Cra quickly found them and was quite surprised that the helped Isabel to get closer to the fire the set not far away from the carro.

  Lia was drying wet clothes around the fire, and Pietro was nowhere to be found. With both Isabel and Lia near the fmes, Cra, the hunter, swept silently toward the fire. She moved without a sound and nded close to it. She sensed that Pietro was at the river. As she stepped nearer to the fmes, Lia nearly jumped out of her skin. The sudden noise startled her, and seeing Cra naked didn’t help. Cra was still wet from the river, and as she approached the fire, Lia felt a strange sense of lust toward her.

  “You’re back, Cra?” Lia’s odd behaviour shifted as she spoke.

  “How is Isabel doing?” Cra interrupted, showing her the fish, she’d caught. The three fish weren’t rge, but they were enough for three people to eat.

  “Prepare food for Isabel. The rest you can eat yourselves,” Cra said. She wasn’t particurly happy staying in such a pce, especially since she couldn’t eat the food herself.
