back pocket. He wouldn’t, would he?
    “Don't restrain her,” Aleksandrov announced.
    Oh thank god someone here was making sense.
    “She attacked me,” Tay replied, bitterly.
    I bit my lip trying to supress a laugh. He sounded like he was in primary school.
    “You provoked her; besides, a good thing came from it. We know that she can use her magic.”
    Tay focused on me, hatred, deep and dark, boiled behind his eyes.
    “I was going to get Tay to be on guard here tonight but since you handle her better, Eli, you can do it.”
    Tay smirked and Eli nodded in agreement.
    “We have to leave now; other issues to attend to. I trust that you will keep everything under control.”
    “Yes, sir.”
    Tay and Mr Aleksandrov left the cabin.
    “Let's talk,” Eli suggested, gesturing to the couches.
    I walked over to the couch opposite Eli and dropped into it.
    “The second you are no longer a vampire, I will be made your guardian angel.”
    “… and what does that entail, exactly?”
    “We will become bonded by each other’s blood.”
    I made a 'that's gross' face and his lips curved into a delectable smile.
    “I have never seen a vampire cringe at the word blood before.”
    How surprising. I didn’t think Eli was capable of making a joke.
    “And how exactly are we bonded by blood? I drink yours, you drink mine?” I asked.
    “No, blood drinking is forbidden.”
    He didn't elaborate as to why it was forbidden and I wasn’t going to ask. It was obvious; that it was only a vampire thing.
    “You will receive a tattoo on your wrist; it will be mixed with my blood and ink. I will also receive one and a Shar will bind us together.”
    “Shar?”
    “A Shar is an angel with special powers; they bond guardians to their charges.”
    I opened my mouth to ask another question but the words never came out. Eli raised his hand and stopped me.
    “I’ll tell you what happens. I’ll be able to tell when you’re in trouble because your emotions will be linked to me and you’ll be able to feel me when I'm close by.”
    I nodded and took in everything he said. Eli stood up and pulled out a gold whistle on a gold chain from his pocket and handed it to me. I examined it, it was beautiful and heavy.
    “What is this?” I asked.
    “A whistle.”
    I rolled my eyes at him. “Obviously. What is it for?”
    His lips twitched and he licked them, trying to cover up a smile. “It’s a whistle that only I can hear.”
    “Oh… Like a dog?”
    “I guess you could say that.” He laughed and it exposed his perfect, white teeth. “Whilst we aren't bonded and I'm away and something happens, blow it. The downside is that it only works when I'm within a few kilometres of you.”
    I brushed my fingers over the whistle, thinking of my mother and her guardian angel. “Did my mother have a whistle?"
    "I'm sure she would have.”
    "Michelangelo, was he a good angel?"
    “One of the best I’ve ever seen.” Eli smiled off into the distance, his eyes clouded like he was stuck in some distant memory.
    “Did you know him?”
    I couldn’t help but pry. I was a curious person; I always wanted to know things even if it had nothing to do with me.
    “You could say that.” Eli's eyes met the floor and his face became hard as he cleared his throat. “I need to take care of a few things right now; I will be back later.”
    He stood up and gave me a nod before exiting. I heard the click of the lock and I was alone. I propped a few couch cushions and lay down.
    What a morning. I was excited, scared, and any other word that related to what I was about to go through. I didn’t know what tomorrow would bring, but I did know that I would be ready for it.

    I spent the night alone. Eli didn’t come back. It didn’t bother me, but I was hungry and no one had left any blood for me. I glanced out the window; the sound of the birds and the low lying sun confirmed that it was indeed, a new day. I found myself coughing and swallowing abruptly every
