Nicolete nodded as she placed her drink down. ?¡°Then if you will let me enlightened you. Europeans believe we are superior to the lesser races.

He put his empty glass back on the bar as he was finished drinking alcohol for the night.? He would partake in straight blood if he felt the need.? He needed to keep his mind clear to engage with the beauty at his side.? She was witty and had a way about her that he found quite appealing.
