from the sunlight, though Eucey didn’t have to. That was why he drank from Nanny Hannah while Eucey ate bread and taters in the kitchen. That was why she would get older with every birthday, and he wouldn’t. That was why he was supposed to stay away from them. That was why they weren’t “appropriate”.
Oren cleared his throat loudly. “If you’ve finished your lessons, then come downstairs and feed.”
He turned back to the door, but Alexander called after him, “How old will I be tomorrow, father?”
“Five,” Oren answered softly. “You’ll be five.”
And then he disappeared into the hallway, leaving Alexander alone.

About the Author
Joleene Naylor is the author of the glitter-less Amaranthine series, a world where vampires aren’t for children. As a compliment to the novel series, she has also written several short story collections and the Amaranthine Files encyclopedia..
In what little time is left she watches anime and updates her blogs, all from a crooked Victorian house in Villisca, Iowa. Between her husband and her pets, she is never lonely, and should she ever disappear one might look for her on a beach in Tahiti, sipping a tropical drink and wearing a disguise.
