A dream jolted Odel awake, leaving her confused and unsettled. Fiona—the vampire girl—had appeared in the dream, whispering words that still echoed clearly in her mind: "I'm still your Fiona, the friend who loves you."The dream had felt incredibly real, as if Fiona had truly been there, speaking to her face-to-face.
Odel sat up in bed, worry etched across her face. She rubbed her hands over her face, trying to shake off the creeping sense of unease.
"It was just a dream... right?" she murmured under her breath.But the lingering emotions felt far too real to dismiss so easily.
Despite the confusion clouding her thoughts, Odel decided to go to class that day. Both the police and Adrian had reassured her that campus security was tight, and that Fiona—along with the other Vanholm vampires—would no longer be able to infiltrate the grounds. With heavy steps but a determined heart, Odel began to get ready.
