I woke up in my bed a little while later.
'That was a weird dream.' I thought, sitting up. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and almost screamed. It wasn't a dream. My lip was bleeding, and my neck had two puncture wounds which were already scabbed over. I covered up my neck with my hair and walked out into the living room. I wanted to get out of my room before that vampire came back for me.
"When did you get back?" dad asked.
"Just a few minutes ago." I replied.
"Geeze, you're as quiet as a mouse." He said laughing. I forced a smile. I played with my baby brother ( who was four years old) for a while, trying to act normal, and avoiding going to my room or leaving the house, frightened that the vampire would return. After a while I got tired so I was forced to go to my room. The vampire was there waiting for me, just as I had feared he would be. I closed mydoor and sat down on my bed warily.
"So...I'm sure you have some questions." He said. I looked over at him.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"James." He said gently. "And yours?" He asked, politely.
"Crystal." i replied nervously. "How am I useful to you?" I asked.
"Something about you..simply intrigues me. Not only are you an unusual human, but you also have a strange aura coming from you...that and your blood is the most delicious blood I have ever tasted." He answered.
"What kind of aura?" I asked. I was now confused.
"I don't know. I've never felt such an aura before. It is very faint, as though somebody is trying to conceal it." He explained.
"That really didn't explain how I'm useful to you. There's plenty of other weird humans out there that you can have." I said.
"My dear, I thought that was obvious. Humans to feed off of have become very scarce, for we vampires must remain undetected. And you...you have plenty of delicious blood." he explained, kissing my neck.,
"So in other words, if I don't let you feed off of me from now on you're going to kill me, right?"
He laughed. 'you sure do learn quickly for a human."
I sighed. "Are there any side effects?" i asked nervously.
"Nope, none at all. I will only drink the minimum amount of blood needed. Just enough to keep me going. Not enough to drain you of your energy or anything like that. For the most part, I will only feed at night so you will be able to sleep to get your energy back..The only time I will feed during the day is if I get an energy and need to in order to survive...So, do you agree?" I nodded. It wasn't like I really had much choice in the matter.
"I am not hungry at the moment, but I shall return when I am." He said. He then jumped out of my open window.
"how did that get open?" I thought. I shrugged.
"You'd think a vampire would at least be nice enough to shut the window after himself." I muttered to myself. After shutting my window, I rolled my eyes and lay down on my bed, drifting off into a very uneasy sleep.
