"Aspenia?"
I flinch at the sound of his voice. No. No, he can't be here right now...
"Aspenia!"
I race to my oak bedroom door, locking the door. He should not be here. It's a full moon. I'm barely in control of myself. I want to tear him apart. I can smell his blood. I need something to eat. I need meat. I need blood.
"Aspenia, come on out!"
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shout. "Go home! You can't be here!"
"It's okay. I know, Aspen."
"B-Ben...?"
"Come out, hon. I know what you are. I can help you, but you have to work with me."
I swallow fearfully. What if this is a trap? What if he never cared...? No, he could never have cared. He never paid attention to me. Never cared for me...
The doorknob rattles. I jump in fear, then slowly compose myself. It's so hard to keep from attacking, but I have to try. If he really is willing to help me....
I open the door.
