ZANE
She was terrified by the truth and my reality.
“I’m a vampire” I let the cat out of the bag. I knew that it would shock her but I didn’t know that it will shock her so much that she will pass out after knowing it. She’s on the ground, lying next to my grave. I picked her up and brought her under the tree. It was important for her to know the truth. I love her and I know that she loves me too but I doubt she’ll love me after knowing my reality. She never loved me, she loved Zane, who she thought was a human and that wasn’t who I was. I’m a monster and no one loves a monster. Losing her by telling the truth is better than having her by telling lies.
BLAIRE
“I’m not a human”
“I’m dead”
“I’m a Vampire”
I woke up panting. Was that a dream? I wish it to be a dream. I looked around and realized that I was sitting under a tree and was still in the cemetery where Zane had brought me to. Means that wasn’t a dream, everything is real. Are vampires real?
“We are as real as humans are” I turned to my side to see Zane sitting next to me, playing with my hair. I quickly took my hair off his hand and tied it up.
“It’s not a dream Blaire” he said. “You wanted to know the secret that I was hiding? This is my dark secret, I’m a vampire and it’s true” I could feel my body shiver out of fear as he said that.
“Don’t be scared. I mean no harm to you” he said. He was coming closer to me and his hands were about to touch my cheeks when I pushed him away and tried to run but he appeared right in front of me. He was too quick to do that. I’ve read in books that vampires are fast.
“We’re fastest” he corrected reading my mind. So this is the reason how he was able to know all the things that were running in my mind.
“Right. Reading minds is one of our abilities” he said coming close to me.
“Let me go. You’re a monster” I shouted in his ears as epiphany hit me that there were no animals behind all those killings, it was him, only him. Animals don’t drink blood but vampires do!
“Y… You.. K.. Killed them a.. all?” he looked down at the ground and then at me.
“I did” he said without any hesitation. I knew the answer but hearing from him sent chills to my body. My body was turning cold because of the fear I was in. All this time, I’ve been roaming with a monster who killed so many people!?
“I can survive drinking animal’s blood and I used to feed on animals until I found out that you love animals. Animal’s death hurts you more than human’s death”
“What!?”
“You’re a psychopath!” I shouted. “You’re a psycho killer” I thought my anger would triumph over my fear but it didn’t. I was still terrified and I could sense that.
“Blaire I…” he took a step closer to me but I stepped back .
“Don’t you come near me! Stay away!”
“Blaire trust me. I don’t mean to cause you any harm”
“Go away Zane. Go away from my life. I don’t want to see you ever again” I shouted and tears filled my eyes.
He left and sat on my knees crying, buring my face in my palms.
