“You’re a vampire,” Snow says finally. (I guess that’s how you pick up.)
I don’t answer.
“You really are,” he says.
I start the engine.
“I mean, I knew it—I’ve known for years. But you really are....” He touches my cheek.
“You’re warmer now.”
“It’s the blood,” I say.
“Would you be heavier? If I lifted you?”
“I imagine. I just emptied a deer.” I glance over at him; he still looks like something I
want to eat. “Don’t try.”
“How does it work?” he asks.
“I don’t know.... Magic, blood magic. Virus, magical virus. I don’t know.”
“How often do you have to drink?”
“Every night, to feel good. Every few nights, to stay sane.”
“Have you ever bitten anyone?”
“No. I’m not a murderer.”
“Does it have to be fatal every time? The biting? Couldn’t you just drink some of a
person’s blood, then walk away?”
“I can’t believe you’re asking me this, Snow. You, who can’t walk away from half a
sandwich.”
“So you don’t know?”
“I’ve never tried. I’m not ... that. My father would kill me if I touched a person.” (I think
he really would, if I bit a person. He probably should, anyway[...]”
“Hey,” Snow says, wrinkling his forehead at me, “don’t.”
“What?”
“Think. Whatever you’re thinking. Stop.”
I exhale, frustrated. “Why doesn’t this all bother you?”
“What?”
“I’m a vampire.”
"Ok, so, I´ve got to tell you something"
"What is it?"
"It´s something i have kept a secret for a long time"
"You can trust me"
"I´m not sure how to say this but... I´m a vampire"
"What?"
Daniel must have heard him wrong. He thought Snow was joking.
"Are you really a vampire?"
Yes
But I know you since we were kids. I had no idea about that.
"I didn´t want to say it"
"Ok, now, form which clan are you?"
"What? Are you serious?"
"What´s wrong?
Daniel was very angry because Snow was from Midnight clan but Daniel doesn´t know why he is so furious.
"I´m from Bloody family. Our clans are rivals"
"I didn´t know that"
"I think we can´t be friends any more.
"Why? I don´t see the problem"
" You wouldn't understand..."
Daniel went away really angry. Snow was so surprised and he watched him go away.
They didn´t see each other again until two months later.
"Hello"
"Hi"
"I
thought about it a lot and I must apologise. It was not about you. But
my father said to me to never talk with a member of the Midnight Club."
"It's
ok. I understand. My parents don't care about it but they told me it
was really important for other vampires." "I also have another secret to
tell you. I've kept it as a secret for a long time."
"So, What is it?"
"Ok. Snow, I love you."
