Reborn
Prologue
We walked until the sun began to rise over the horizon. When the time came, Jared grabbed my arm and pulled me into a building. We stayed there for the day.
We were in the basement so virtually no sunlight got to us. Jared immediately ambushed me with questions. Who I was, who my mom was, what happened to Mommy and Daddy, how old I was. He seemed shocked at every answer I gave, but it only encouraged him to ask more.
I didn't mind though, Jared was nice. I felt safe with him. I was still mourning over Mommy and Daddy's death but Jared made it all a little bit easier.
"So, your mom and dad were vampires and they had you?" he asked to clarify.
I nodded, "Yup," Jared nodded now and eyed me, "So, you're a vampire too then, right?' He asked.
Wasn't it obvious? "Yup." I repeated
"Wow"
"Wow, what?" I asked
` "Wow, I can't believe you were born." He said. I looked at him, confused. He noticed my expression, "I didn't know vampires could have kids. I don't think anybody knew." He said the second part more to himself than to me.
"I'm hungry." I said after endless hours of interrogation and boredom.
Jared gazed up at me, he'd been staring absentmindedly at the floor, "So am I, we'll get some humans together when it's dark." He said turning to look at the door behind him. We could still see the yellow of sunlight poking in from the cracks underneath the metal door.
I shook my head, "I don't drink human blood." I told him.
Jared's head snapped back and he looked at me, "Huh?" The idea seemed lost to him.
"I don't drink human blood." I repeated.
"Wha—why not?"
I shrugged, "its mean. I don't want to hurt the humans."
Jared continued to stare at me like I had three heads, "You are so weird." He finally muttered. I cast my eyes down to hide the tears welling in my eyes. I wasn't weird, just…different.
Suddenly, Jared chuckled, "I think we'll get along just fine."
