Chapter 11
4th January 2012
Dear diary,
I ate some food, not out the vein but from the bottle, it tastes better when you haven't eaten for ages. My arm is so itchy, but I dare not scratch it, not after last time.
Last night I when for a walk. I saw someone sitting on the floor. As I came closer to her I saw that she was holding something, it was a stake. I wonder why she would be holding a stake, then I realized. She was crying. She had blonde hair. I sat next to her.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Nothing. Leave me alone." She replied in a harsh tone.
"There has to be something, half fangs nowadays not usually cry in the middle of the street." I said, questioning her 'nothing'.
"It's just...no it doesn't matter." She said.
"Where I come from, everything matters. So what's wrong?" I asked.
"I'll think I'm pathetic." She said.
"I won't, if anyone is pathetic here it's me." I said trying to persuade her to tell me.
"I miss my brother." She said. "He when out I one day and never came home. I just want to know if he is still live, if he's ok, but I don't know, and I doubt I ever will."
"You never know, he might knock on your door one day." I said.
"What's your named?" she asked.
"Erin." I said.
"Chloe, Chloe Branagh." She said, as she answered my unspoken question.
"What's the name of your brother that's missing?" I asked.
"Robin." She replied.
"Did you once live in a place called Stokely?" I asked.
"Yeah." She said.
"I think I know where your brother is." I said.
"Where?" She asked.
So I took her to see Robin. I knock on the door.
"Come in." He said. "Hi Erin."
"Robin?" Chloe asked more of a statement. She ran towards him and through her arms around him.
"Chloe." He said. At that moment I walked out of the room to go see Vlad.
Vlad was so kind. I feel even worse at the fact I hurt him and at the fact I am not telling him about Robin and Chloe being a vampire. If I don't tell him soon I will never be able to forgive myself. I am sitting on the banister at the top of the stares, I thought about telling him, but I not know how. Maybe I should make them run into each other by 'accident'. Well I could, Vlad's coming back tomorrow, but if I do that, I have I problem of getting Robin in the right place at the right time. Well I could get Sara to say that Karl wants to see him in the lounge and then I could take Vlad in there.
I feel happy, better than I have in weeks. I love Vlad. I missed him, but I hurt him and I can never forgive myself, but he can forgive me, which has given me a reason to exist. He has saved me, so I want to help him and Robin to be friends again.
