Chapter 2: Enter the Darkness
" A v-vampire?!" she cried, her aura now riddled with fear.
I quickly returned to my Day Walker form after feeling her fear. "Yes," I admitted, "But I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to hurt anyone. Not anymore".
She stood there, just dying for answers, and asked, "What do you mean 'not anymore'?" with the most innocent tone.
I'd tell the whole story, but it's pretty long, so cutting to the chase, I said, "I once knew a woman as beautiful as you, but I let my bloodlust consume me. In the end, all that was left of her was her ribbon," as I held out a blue cloth that matched the nun's sapphire eyes, eyes that were now laced with tears.
She cried, "Oh! You poor creature," and ran up to me. She embraced me as a young scion to its mother, clinging to me with sympathy.
She let me go after a while and told me how she came to be a nun. She told me, "My father was always drunk when he got home. He always beat me and my mother senselessly at any time. One night, my mother and father were driving home and got into an accident. I was raised by nuns at the local orphanage ever since," with tears streaming down her delicate cheeks. "I became a nun so that no one would ever suffer the agony and heartache that sinful substance brings," she said with a fire in her words.
If I wasn't falling for her before, I am now. I wanted to sweep her off her feet, but my memories wouldn't let me. My heart still had scars to heal. But what if she was my remedy? What if this nun could actually save me from my own inner demons?
After patiently listening to her tale, I asked, "What is your name?".
She replied, "Beatrice. Sister Beatrice".
I took a step back, bowed, and replied, "Sonra Avarice, at your service".
She had trouble with my first name, because I heard "S-Son-Ra, Sssunray, err..." before I quickly added "Just call me Sonny".
"Oh, okay," she replied. Maybe this would work out after all.
Aaaaannnnd that is the second chapter. Wow. What a mouthful of dialogue. But, stories always call for dialogue, and plenty of it. I accept any tips and criticism you got, my fellow readers.
