Author's Note:
I know most people don't read this, but I'm going to say it anyway, Mizuki is a nickname for a friend from school, that's just her favorite name to be called. For example, If
your name was really Melany but you like to be called Mizuki
that doesn't mean you're doing any sort of identity theft.

"Alright then..." he started, with a smile,"First thing's first. Our overall view of humans, are that they are a pathetic race who only understand what they are taught, trust in what they are told, and believe in what they see. They think reality is a perfect little world where humans rule. But of course, it isn't."
Once he paused, Loretta swallowed another piece of her cookie nervously. This caused him to chuckle as he exhaled, "Now now, we are not saying all humans are like this. Most are though Loray, you must have seen this by now."
She said nothing, but hastily finished her first cookie. Taking another cookie out of the bag, she bita small piece, waiting patiently for him to continue speaking. Then, he gladly continued, "They can't seem to understand anything that isn't taught to them, or shown to them in riddles and literature. The only way they seem to understand things are when it's placed bluntly in their sight. If someone...maybe swore they'd do something, that human will believe it. But words can't be trusted, and that you must know. It's a harsh world out here. What they see isn't always in plain view. You do know about those illusions that have more than one view, yes?"
Loretta nodded quickly, bobbing her head up and down mechanically.
"Well that's how the world is. Their is more than one view to the world. Illusions are everywhere and deception is what you breathe in. Reality is where people die everyday, some murdered, some suicidal, and some assisinated. Many things aren't what they seem, but humans believe whatever they say, trusting it completly, until they realize it's wrong, it's too late," Darius continued, then shrugged, running his toungue along his teeth, clearly visible, "Now this is a boring topic, why we discuss something else, hmm?"
"Why do I have to know these things again?" she questioned him, now a bit confused of what he had said.
"You'll get to know what you're dealing with," he whispered in that same death like tone that made her shiver, again. A car passed by, temporarily blinding Loretta from her intense stare at the cookie. Her eyes flickered to her wristwatch, then she quickly stood up.
"I have to go," she muttered, grabbing the rest of her cookies and throwing it to Darius, "You can have them." Rushing out of McDonalds, she turned sharply to her right, into an alleyway. Though it seemed a bit naive to walk into a dark narrow abandoned alley, it was perfectly safe for her. There was nothing she had to worry about.
Halfway to her house, she stopped and stared up at the moon, as if questioning it.
-Flashback-
"Oh no, no. A different topic every time we meet. The ways of vampires...the ways of other races...just so you can get to know everybody better," Darius said after ending his chuckling moment.
"But it's all from a Vampire's view," she pouted, a bit childishly. Unfortunately, this caused another chuckle from the vampire, seriously annoying Loretta. Unlike vampires, she was a human, and she actually had a life apart from drinking icky metal tasting liquid.
"Yes...I don't see any problem in that," he stated with a shrug, taking another step forward. It didn't seem as challenging this time. It made Loretta relax...just a bit.
"How long?" she questioned, actually considering making this deal. Of course...she would have to demand his word and make him swear on something too.
"However long it may take child," he continued, still smirking. He seemed amused of Loretta's reaction, and this seemed to intrigue him.
-End of Flashback-
"Something seems wrong..." she spoke aloud as she stuffed her hands into her coat pocket nervously.
-Flashback-
"You're not going to attack me in anyway, or try taking any of my blood. You can not stalk me in anyway, and I have every right to kill you if you do anything...wrong," Loretta continued after giving him a nod. He nodded back, then Loretta swore on the bible.
-End of Flashback-
"I can't believe I said that..." she murmured to herself, staying where she was. The sparkle in her eyes almost disappeared, making her eyes look blank and solid, "I've bound myself to a vampire..." There was no end date in that agreement, and no start date. The only bounds were drawing blood and stalking. How could she done such a thing? Well, perhaps a vampire's mental deception was far more twisted than hers.
Author's Note:
Well, if you don't understand it, she let herself become
vunerable to emotional harm. And emotional harm is more dangerous
than physical harm.
No one's reviewing or commenting...that is bad.
