Although Charlie's fate has yet to be decided, this is an intense chapter with many new aspects of Greg's new world. Greg took a big risk in confronting Prince George, but in doing so, he won the respect of the prince. The power of the vampire world is based on centuries of life during which they have gained both wealth and influence in the world of humans. Like @wenmale64, I'm also hanging on tight! I look forward to seeing what happens to Charlie in the next chapter. You have made some changes from the original, so whatever happens to Charlie will be a surprise.
