Disclaimer: this thing sucks.
Edward and I walked towards the main door of the hotel together. He returned our key card and we walked out. Suddenly, I smelled him.
A vampire.
Edward and I both read his mind simultaneously. He seemed harmless enough. In fact, he seemed like he couldn't be a threat to the humans if he tried.
We decided to take a chance and approach him.
Before we even reached him, his eyes were on us.
"Hello," Edward said in greeting.
"Good afternoon," the young vampire replied. He stuck out his hand for Edward to shake. "My name is Henry," he said politely.
"Edward Cullen, and this is Bella, my wife," he pointed towards me. I smiled.
"Nice to meet you," I said.
"And you. What brings you two here?" Henry asked.
"That's a long story," Edward said with a smile.
"I have some time, if you'd like to chat for a bit?" the new vampire suggested curtly.
I looked at Edward, awaiting his response. I was suddenly very curious. His thoughts seemed genuine enough….
"Bella?" Edward asked me.
"Sure, why not?" I shrugged. I was eager to learn more about this Henry.
"Wonderful," he said with a grin.
He led us up to his room, opening the door gracefully.
"Oh, and Henry? I feel as though I should warn you. I can read minds." Subtle.
Henry laughed himself. "I figured. I have a power of my own, as well."
"And what would that be?" Edward and I asked in unison.
"I'm completely immune," he said proudly.
Of course.
