He couldn't die, not for real anyways. But, metaphorically speaking, he'd die for her in a heartbeat. -Michael has a sister, who's finally coming to stay with Lucy and Max and their vampire family. And then she meets David...is it possible to fall in love with someone, something, you'd never allow yourself to become?- Title credit goes to Cage the elephant.

36. Chapter 36

*Taylor POV*

I thought about what Sam said all day at work, questioning if I should just turn in my resignation papers to the salon now, say there was a family emergency or something. I toyed with who I loved more, my whole family, David and Laddie included, or Sam. But what it really boiled down to, was who needed me more-and the answer to that was Sam.

Work that day was a blur, and i found myself walking to my car in the dark before it felt like I had blinked. Mom didn't love me anyways, and michael...I didn't know who Michael was anymore. So I went home and tucked myself into bed, trying to pretend like nothing was wrong when I hurried past the boys, brushing it off like I was tired or hungry or something, and not even Laddie moved to follow me upstairs.

Sam was my baby brother, no matter how old or big he was, and if he needed me to do something like this, then I would because that's what families do for each other.

That night I slept with Sam in his room so none of the boys would bug me, and come next sundown we'd be long gone, and they couldn't do anything about it.

As Sam snored beside me, I thought about leaving a note or something for David and Laddie, but decided it would be too much, too painful. It was better I left without an explanation, better they get on with their lives without Sam and I-we'd made it obvious we couldn't be a part of it.

So, if you ever find your self wondering can a vegetarian be a vampire? The answer is no.

Little cliff hanger here! I rewatched the movie last time and paid a bit more attention to Sam and Michael's characters, and decided that 1. Michael seemed to change majorly in personality when he became a vampire. He got crankier and more aloof, spending more and more time away from his family. And 2. Sam was 100% opposed to vampires, so him suddenly accepting it because his whole family was one didn't make enough sense. Of course, I'm the oldest child and if any of my younger siblings requested this of me, it's likely I'd say yes. But don't worry, David and the rest of the lost boys will come back into the story quickly! :) Thanks for reading xx.
