Dahlia was struck as the girl left. It wasn't physical but it made her feel horrible all the same. It weighed heavily on her mind throughout the day. During lunch she only ate normal meat and fruit. She refused to take blood any more then what was required to survive, even animal blood. After her classes she stopped off in the library and picked out a few books to read and returned to her room. She completed what little homework she had on the first day and read until Ivy returned.

When she did Dahlia was all but asleep. She was not used to sleeping during the day. She had not done it since she the incident. "Ivy..." she said slowly but clearly. "I am afraid of you, but I am more afraid of myself." She opened her mouth to show Ivy her fangs. "I am afraid of the night." She returned to her book and waited to see how Ivy would react. She hoped that Ivy didn't hold what happened earlier against her. She wanted friends and a new life, she really did. It was only that this want was always coupled by fear.
