"The Truth Lurking In The Shadows"

It was dark, dreary, an otherwise uneventful night for Aiden the vampire who was turning two hundred and fifty eight years old.

As he walked home from work he thought about the many lives he lead, throughout his two hundred plus year dead existence.

The fear he felt of given into his dark side, the pleasure he felt of having anew family, or as close to a new family as he can get.

Aiden opens the door to his apartment as the rain started pouring down smoothing his pale skin.

He pulls himself into what appears to be an empty house, no furniture, no noise, and no friends.

Aiden quickly runs up the stairs fearing creeping over his face as inched closer and closer to the

doors.

What he sees throws him off as he opens the door to find a note in middle of floor in Josh's room.

Aiden turns around to find Sally staring blank straight at him, her eyes narrowing with every breath he takes.

"Whats going on ?" He ask as every moment she takes to stay his heart is beating faster and faster.

"He loved you, did you know that?" He thought "Josh loves me?"

Aiden stares at Sally who continues to tell him what had happened that day, and how he keeps letting Josh loose by his actions.

"How can this be? Josh is with Nora" Aiden said trying to reason with her.

Sally shakes her head as Aiden begins to realize the truth of his own feelings about Josh, and Aiden.

"You love him too Aiden, just admit it" Aiden shook his head as the memories came flooding back.

Soon his heart started to flutter the more intense it felt the more he started to realize that he was truly in love with Josh.

"I love Josh, Sally your right" Aiden said pushing his back to the wall, to scared as he reacted to reality of it all

Aidens eyes began to flutter as his body twisted all over the bed, and he suddenly calmed down as he awoke.
