Human-vampire relationships don't work.

That's what I told her. And it's true.

It's impossible to be around someone you can imagine devouring. Inhaling their warmth. Feeling their blood ooze down your throat. Feeling the thump of their heart through your teeth…

Stop.

Calm.

Breathe.

Matt was too good for me, you know. It would have never worked out even if I hadn't become this…this thing. This undead creature living in the shadows of this town. It hurts, but it's true. I would have screwed it up eventually. I always do.

I really wanted it though. I would have given anything to keep him. I gave it everything I had. I really did. It just wasn't enough.

Not anymore.

I have never felt this alone before.

And I'm scared.
