A Game Of Chess With A Vampire

Avelina proceeded to explain.

"Listen, sometimes things happen and you just say, "You are evil" It does not mean you mean it. You are just trying to use it to describe something or maybe how you feel. I mean, you just read this book, and I don’t remember what Chapter I was in, so that is why I said that."

Draven pondered deeply about it and thoughtfully shook his head. "I still don’t understand. I don’t get it at all. Are you saying I am evil because I read your book and now—"

"Draven." Avelina smiled at him. "It’s okay. That was a slip of the tongue from me, okay? I didn’t mean it, and I am not mad, either."

"Oh...alright." Draven nodded. "Well, if you are worried about the page you were at, it’s okay, I memorized it. Before I started reading, I checked it, so you were at page twenty-five."

A deep breath of relief fled Avelina’s mouth, and she looked at him. "What page are you on?"

"The last page," Draven replied.

"What?!" Avelina was stunned. "How did you read that fast?"

"Ah... I don’t know. I would have read it faster if a few of their behaviors hadn’t confused me. I did not like the male main character. He is stupid." Draven commented. "But I liked the female main character. She reminds me of you."

Avelina’s jaw dropped. "Why would you say he is stu—"

"Ah!"
