"Michael, you're unique. There's never been a hybrid before. However ambivalent you may feel about it, the truth is your power could be limitless. But you depend on blood. You need to feed – without it, you'll be growing weaker by the second."
The refrigerator was door closed by Selene.
"Use the time for that."
She tossed a packet of blood at him, and he seemed to be in disbelief that she expected him to drink the damn thing. Little did he know that in 200 years, he'd be drinking blood without a second thought, just like a human ate food.
He seemed unsure what to do next… tear it open like an animal, or drink it nice and sophisticated?
"And what if I don't?" He seemed to gulp, staring straight into her eyes. "What if I can't?"
Explaining the only way she knew how at that time – bluntly – Selene gave him the answer that he wasn't looking for. "Normal food would be lethal. If you don't anticipate your cravings, you will attack humans."
To Michael, Selene kept on going to her next statement without breaking stride. But in Selene's head, it went back in time. Had it only been a century ago, in the fall of 1902 when she had broken the cardinal rule of not feeding on humans?
"Believe me," she continued, "you don't want that on your conscience."
Even over 200 years after this event, Selene could still remember the guilt she'd felt in that moment. In two centuries, she still had not shared the fact that she had once bitten a human being.
Or what had happened to the human afterward.
