25 Memories


All For You

She found herself back in London, near Cherry Tree Lane. Again. Fortunately, the Banks family did not need her services again. Her feet touched gently to the ground as she pulled her umbrella down to close it.

"If it ain't bloody Mary Poppins," an unfamiliar voice sounded off behind her.

Mary knew it couldn't be Bert, for they had scheduled an appointment in the chalk drawing for the Saturday next. She really shouldn't be encouraging him, but he was such a sweet man. Making sure her hat was still set at a jaunty angle, she turned to face the - well, creature.

"Ah, William. You've taken a very bad turn, young man," Mary sighed, noting the unhealthy pallor of his skin. Despite his lack of warm clothing, he didn't seem to feel the winter's chill. "You were such a kind child."

"And then I ate me mum," William snarled at her, lunging for her throat. "And now I'll eat my nanny."

She didn't struggle away from him. Didn't try to fend off his attack, she simply let him chew on her neck for a moment or so. It was a good nanny's job to let the children learn through trial and error. William recoiled and spat out a mouthful of her blood, confusion in his eyes as they receded from the feral yellow to his own mortal visage. Mary felt her skin stitch itself up and the bloodstains on her gown simply vanished.

"Bloody hell!"

"It is always wise for one to ascertain whom one is eating before the meal, William. A vampire, such as yourself should not feed on an Immortal. Especially since this immortal took care of you when you were still in leading strings!"

William spun away, looking for a much easier meal for the evening. Mary huffed as she spun to retrieve her carpetbag.

"Silly vampires. My blood will certainly bring an interesting future for him."
