Alice wasn't struggling at all with any of the boxes. She was already stronger, feeling more like the vampire that she was in her dreams. She was paler, too, a contrast to her brunette hair. It wasn't really scary or disconcerting, more exciting. She was wondering if she was going to start sparkling.
Ah! A newcomer! Alice knew that her brother(s) and sister-in-law, and mother? Possibly? Well, some of her family were around somewhere, but she could use some help.
"Hi! I'm Alice. My mom is friends with Verity? You must be here to help." She was smiling brightly, a bouncy, happy girl.
