honey, you can tell me the truth. I’m not like your father.”
“I know. Okay, yes, there will be someone there that I like. Emma’s brother.”
“See, was that so hard? What is his name?”
“His name is James. He is in my grade and we have a few classes together.”
“I see. Well, just be careful. You know how boys at this age can be. I don’t want to see my little girl getting hurt.”
“I know, mom. I won’t get hurt.”
Being able to talk to my mom was nice. I never really got that close to her, but I was always closer to her than I was with my father. He was always hard and emotionless. The fact he was rarely around when I was a kid didn’t help things either. My mom, however, was there and made an effort. I just hoped she wouldn’t slip the information about James to my father.
I blew off my homework that night. Usually I was the type to get everything done and study, but not tonight. I had a big night tomorrow, and everything had to be planned. I turned on my computer and decided to try to learn more about vampires. I had never known another vampire besides James, and I barely even knew him. If I was going to have any chance of fitting in with his family, I had to at least know my facts so I didn’t look stupid.
I found a historical site devoted to vampires and their ancestors. I started reading:
“Vampires are an ancient species of sub-mortals. They first started appearing in literature and art in the year 273 AD. Nobody knows exactly how they started, but how they rose up is all but too well known. Vampires today are mostly created by the bite. There are two main forms of bites: the hunger bite and the love bite. They are different in nature and purpose, making a large debate about them. A hunger bite is when a vampire or group of vampires needs to feed. They grow restless and thirsty. Their hunger is only quenched by the taste of fresh blood. They can receive it from humans or animals, but humans provide a much more quenching taste. A love bite, however, is produced when a male or female vampire wants to turn a mortal into a vampire for love purposes. Both partners fall in love with each other, and the bite secures their fate as lovers for all of time. You can tell vampires from their pale skin and cool touch. They are undead, and can be killed only by the removing of their heads. Be wary, though, for vampires are incredibly fast and cunning foes. They do not take lightly to battle and will fight to the death, with their foes usually ending up on the side of death. If you shall ever meet someone you suspect to be a vampire, be wary. Their powers of seduction and manipulation are great, and even the strongest minds can wither in the presence of a strong vampire. If you shall ever be caught with a group of vampires, you can kiss your life goodbye.”
Wow. I couldn’t believe it. Was James going to feed on me? Was he inviting me over to meet his family because they needed to feed? He did invite me for dinner. Maybe I was the main course.
I started thinking about what I read. The website did mention a love bite. A bite made by a vampire on a mortal to lock their souls together in everlasting harmony. Maybe this is what he wanted. Maybe this is even what I wanted. To escape this cruel, oppressive world and lock hands with James and a new family, a family that would love me forever.
This is what I had always wanted. To leave my family and run away with the man I loved. The man who would give me what I needed and never leave my side. I was desperate to leave this city after school anyway, and this could be the perfect cover.
As the night started coming to an end, all I could think about was what was written on my computer.
I started drifting away to sleep a different person. I wasn’t the same shy, innocent girl anymore. I was different. I wanted to be bitten.
