The feast continued around me after the king’s speech.

Wine was poured and food was served to every guest.

I didn’t eat a single crumb. I couldn’t.

Though the people around me smelled so good it was hard to resist the temptation of fresh blood. But I couldn’t ruin the treaty between humans and vampires. Although that is in the very near future I refuse to be the one to break it.

I could see the vampires around me struggle while watching these creatures that were once ours to feast on.

I don’t love the treaty for the fact that more vampires are starving but we can survive. We will get through. Both this feast and this roadblock that is the treaty.
