I rotated my shoulder gingerly, then swung it wide when I felt nothing but some minor stiffness from not being used. I pulled back the gown to see there was only the faint marking of a scar left. I laughed only to be stopped by the door banging open and the tiny black-haired Vampire from the water portal stood at the end of my bed. She was pale but still had a glow about her, her midnight black hair was long and thick, cut across the front to border her plump but beautiful face. Big
