well, this is working out a little better than !

PLEASE REVIEW! EVERYONE LIKES A LITTLE FEEDBACK!(",)

I love my son, even though it's a struggle to keep my inner monster inside from feeding on him. He had grown so much in the last few years. He never questioned why his parents were so different because he had never gotten to know anyone else outside the home. He was quite the intelligent little boy, my homeschooling made sure that he was the focus of attention. Even though we weren't actually related, we looked quite similar to each other, save the eye colour of course. He had chocolate brown hair that was cut fashionably and swept to the side. His oval eyes were shaped exactly the same as mine, although his brown eyes that would make you melt under his gaze were different to my human electric blue eyes.

I remember when he had said his first word, "Ma-mmy". He had taken his first steps when he was just over a year old. I was so proud of my son. I was remembering everything that had happened in the past few years as John was now old enough to go to a proper school with proper friends. I had to prepare to tell him the truth of his parents' existence. This was going to be tough. My insides were screaming at me to run away, that he would be afraid of me and would never want to know me. Thirteen years was just too short to have John taken away from me, but I knew that I had made my decision years ago, when we first adopted him. Mícheál was at my side, squeezing my hand gently to reassure me. I was getting over-anxious about the whole thing. It had to be done, whether I liked it or not. I also knew that if I didn't, he would eventually find out and hate me for the rest of his life.

I heard the front door of the apartment shutting. John was back from the shops. This was it.

"Bonjour Maman, Papa. I'm back". There was the sound of shopping being put away in the kitchen.

"Could you come in here please when you're done?" I spoke in a ringing voice. The stress was obvious in my voice. "Your father and I need to talk to you about something". I took a deep breath to steady myself, even though I didn't physically need air.

John strolled in and sat down on the sofa with an expectant look on his face. What?

"Hey, I can guess what's going on" he said with a smile on his face. I started to panic; surely he couldn't know that much about us? But we had been so careful to make sure he didn't notice anything amiss.

"I have noticed that there was something different about our family. For one, you two look so different to most Parisians, and how you never eat, never sleep and are so cold to the touch. Don't worry; I've known that something was up a good while ago and that you told me for my own good. I'm glad that you've finally decided to let me in the loop this time".

Wow. Maybe he just might be okay with the truth. Or not. Here goes...

"Thing is..." I started, not quite knowing how to continue, "...em, well..."

"I think what your mother is trying to say here..."

I shot Mícheál a grateful look

"...is that we aren't humans. We are vampires"

He paused to let the information sink in. John still had a smile on his face, but his eyes tightened at the word 'vampire'. Oh no, I thought to myself, we've lost him already, so soon. If I could have cried I would have been shedding tears.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I guess I was expecting something strange like magic" he laughed, "but I definitely was not expecting that."

I waited patiently until he could get to grips with what he had just heard. It was a lot to wrap your head around.

"Wow. Vampires. I didn't think they even existed. So... do you...you know...?"

I sighed. This was the hardest part.

"Yes, we do drink blood, human blood. I wish we didn't, that it was any other way, but it isn't."

My face crumpled in despair of the memory of my murdered family. To my surprise, John actually got up and hugged me. He was the one comforting me. I was the parent, not him.
