The True Lord – Death
"MY PARENTS!" I let go of the man and yelled at the top of my lungs, unleashing a torrent of tears streaming from my eyes.
"I d-didn't know…" The man in white was now hugging me, as though trying to absorb the pain I was feeling. I hugged him back, still crying, though not as strongly.
"How did this happen?" I asked, letting go of him, barely able to choke through the sobs.
"When we got here, we found your parents lying on the ground. We had received an anonymous tip that they were…," not able to continue for my sake, the man had hesitated. Then he continued, "Anyway, after some tests, we found out they both suffered massive blood loss, but when we checked the house, we could find no traces of blood loss. It was as if they had been drained of all of their blood. We could not find any cuts or gashes where there would be means for blood loss, although we might find some when we send them in for testing."
"Do you think that v-vampires could have done this?" I asked, although I thought I knew the response.
"That's probable," he replied as I reared back in shock.
"You mean vampires exist!"
"In my opinion, yes, but I can't put that on their death certificate."
"That's absurd though!" I almost laughed at the thought of vampires, despite my tears.
"Everyone thinks so, but not me."
"That's a weird way of thinking."
"Oh well." The man let go and turned to the people still taking notes of the bodies. "Let's go guys, we have a case to solve." They turned to leave, but the man stayed back. "Do you want to spend the night at the police house? It'd probably be better if you did."
"No, I'll stay here. I want to think about this for a while."
"Suit yourself. Oh, my name is Dr. Robert. If you need anything, call the police station and ask for me."
"Nice to meet you, Dr. Robert. I'm Michael."
"See you later, Michael." With that he turned and walked out.
