Chapter 8

1th January 2013

Dear diary,

What have I done? I hurt him. I hurt Vlad. I was hurting but I made him hurt more. I've left Malik.

I fainted today. I fainted at the top of the stairs. I was told that it was to do with lack of 'blood'. I knew what it was to do with, but I couldn't tell them, they would think I was mad they would lock me up, but I am hurting more inside, knowing that I hurt Vlad. It hurts my more then what I could ever do to my arm.

Someone came in. He looked formulae somehow. I had seen him before somewhere.

"How are you feeling? Be brave." He asked. 'Be brave' what does mean I thought. Then it hit me who it was.

"Karl?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's me. Now what have you been doing." He said then lifted you my sleeve to reveal my arm. There were two words caved in my arm 'I'm sorry'. I looked down at my arm thinking of a way to get out of this one, but no ideas came to my head. "You're just like Sara." I gave him a puzzled look. "When she first became...you now...a vampire, she was angry, but she didn't want to hurt anyone, so she hurt herself instead."

"Sara's a vampire?" I ask.

"Yeah, but that's not an excuse for you to hurt yourself. So why did you do it?" Karl asked. I looked him in the eye. "Don't try and lie to me Erin I know when you're lying." I should tell him the truth he deserve to know about Ryan. So I did I expand and he listened. He understood me. He didn't think I was mad.

"It's never too late to make a wrong a right." He said. He was wrong. He was so wrong.

"Vlad hates me." I say.

"Where are you staying to night?" He said changed the subject quickly. I shrugged. "You can come and stay with me and Sara. If you want." Any day I would have jumped at the chance to see them, but to day.

"I couldn't." I start.

"I reckon that lack of blood has done something to your brain." He said.

"What brain?" I say as a joke.

"You are staying with us." He said in a voice of attorney which you wouldn't dare to argue with. So I saw Sara and Karl. My life was just about bearable, but it won't last long because nothing is bearable without Vlad. Today felt like a dream. Well I have been dreaming of this day of 2 years. I feel like my life has started again.
