Vampers: Halloween Trial

Chapter 2: The Vampire's Test

"I've always wanted a friend," stated a cute voice. Her form was blurry, where I could only make out her general shape. She appeared to be my height, but also was a very young girl. "The world. My dream."

"I feel the same," I responded. Smiling at the girl, I held her warm hands.

Her form faded, and I was left staring up in my room. That dream. It feels so familiar. Despite being unable to recall the memory, I felt rested.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning as I began wiping my eyes. Laying in my luxurious bed absorbing all the hygge I could. However, it appeared I wasn't the only thing sponging in the atmosphere. Feeling the sheets around my waist told me all I needed to know—I wet the bed again. Sighing to myself once again, I rose up to proceed the day like I did before.

Once again at the breakfast table, I continued to sigh to myself as things didn't seem like they wanted to go my way. Results returned from our doctor, that we had check up on me after the second night, showcasing nothing was wrong with me. Although we kept it a secret that I wet the bed, it was clear something was off given this was my fourth time.

"What's wrong hon?" My mother questioned. The look she gave me was one of great concern.

"Well as you are aware, I had another incident," I could feel my cheeks turning red. "And it's about what I asked of yesterday..." I couldn't help but slump my head down.

"Oh, about that," My father spoke up. "I may not be able to assist you in the nightly dilemma," I turned utterly red hearing it from my father. "But I did think about it some more about your plead about visiting humans." Despite looking down to my white skirt, my ear perked up. "I may have thought of a solution to satisfy your curiosity alongside not having to leave you alone with the maids."

At this point I couldn't help but turn to face my father—excitement pouring from my cheeks. "Oh, what is it father? Will I be allowed for a Halloween stroll? I assume this should be acceptable by the cabinet members?"

Our vampire society had a secondary form of government. The cabinet members belonged to the few reigning prime ministers. Our king, my father, typically had the head say in actions. However, the government was formed of different branches of power to keep things intact. They were the reason we even decorated the current estate for Halloween. We hold a main event elsewhere, but we still have officials who will drop by for a meeting or two.

He shook his head, "No, not that necessarily. But, yes, it very well should be."

I pouted for a second given my first questions rejection, "Will it be going through a festival in one of their towns?"

"Haha, I think you need to stop thinking about the human's Halloween here." I couldn't help but pout again. "What I had thought of was sending you to a human's daycare center."

I gasped in shock, "Eh, but that's for really young children."

"Well sweetie," My mother spoke in a kind tone. "In our eyes you are still a very young child hehe."

"Don't bring vampire ages into this!" I shouted.

"Ahem," Father cleared his throat. "I thought of this as a means of a test or trial run so to speak. That if you could pass it, then perhaps we might be more open to hearing your view points on the mortal world. I've made brief mentions to the members I met with yesterday and they accepted the proposal."
