of her great grandfather, the famous Van Helsing. The elders know it but refuse to do anything because of Van Helsing’s legendary status
    Suddenly, it seemed like all of the world’s burdens were lifted off of her shoulders, and Sanaya could finally relax.  “Thanks Archer…”
    “No problem kiddo,” he said leaning forward. “You should have told me something sooner. I have been waiting for the opportunity to expel her and-“
    “You are going to expel her?” Maya and Sanaya simultaneously gasped.
    “I am going to submit a request for her expulsion,” Archer admitted. “Now, the elders may not approve. However even a temporary expulsion may do her some good. She isn’t as strong as she thinks she is, regardless of her seniority, I have yet to take her out on the field. She just gets away with the ‘I’m A Bad Ass’ card because of her bloodline and I have been merciful enough not to embarrass her by placing her in a real life fight against vampires. At her rank, I don’t think she would fare well against a low grade succubus. The only other reason why she is still here is because she knows everything by the book. However, when the time comes for her to graduate, she may not be selected as a guardian. She will simply be sent home and her family can decide what to do with her.”
    Sanaya could not believe her ears. She’d always known Elizabeth deep down was scared of her and now she knew why. Maya was right. Elizabeth was indeed jealous of her and found her to be a threat.
    “So what are we going to do now?” Sanaya asked after a long moment.
    “Well, I brought both of you here to meet someone. Maya, I am sure Sanaya has told you I am taking her on a live hunt tonight. You have proven to be a strong telepath and in time, you will accompany Sanaya on these adventures, but I need for you to work on building physical strength since you have already accomplished mental strength, understand?”
    Maya nodded emphatically and took Sanaya’s hand and gave her a gentle squeeze.
    “In the meantime, both of you will be working with someone very special, and can relate to what you are going through Sanaya. Her name is Eve and she…“
    “Is a descendent from the line of Dracula!” Maya gasped. She looked at Sanaya who stared back at her, her eyes wide with confusion.
    “I’ve heard of her…does she really understand what it is we do?” Maya continued.
    “Maya!” Sanaya scolded.
    “No, it’s fine Sanaya. Your friend has every right to be concerned. Now as I was saying- before I was interrupted, Eve has hunted more vampires than I can count. As a matter of fact, Sanaya, she was brought here when she was around your age. The Vatican was going to exterminate her, but it was discovered that she is half human. Before Van Helsing finally killed Dracula, The Count made it his mission to turn all of his living descendants into the undead. Her mother was pregnant with her when she was bitten, and some of the virus was passed down to her, so she was born,not bitten. Her mother, unfortunately, did not survive the birth or the transition. One of the maids who worked for the family rescued her, and delivered her to a nunnery where she was raised until she was sixteen. The head nun brought her here due to an incident involving a priest…“
    “What happened to the priest?” Sanaya demanded.
    Archer chuckled. “Well, the priest thought of himself to be up high enough to try to take advantage of an orphaned girl until he got more than what he bargained for.-She bit him and pretty much drained him. The Vatican then got involved, yada yada yada…and now she has become one of our most effective weapons.”
    Sanaya swallowed thickly. “So she feeds off of humans and you are pairing us with her because…”
    “She cannot pass the virus, so even if she does bite you, you wouldn’t turn... But if she were to get pissed off enough and bite, let’s say Maya, your friend wouldn’t turn. And she does not require blood
