I am talking to my younger brother, Aiden in our huge garden. Aiden is my favourite brother from the four. The flowers are always blooming here, all year. That's the magic of this place. I love spending time outside. It's funny how people think the sun makes vampires turn into dust. It's ironic, but also great in a way. They still don't expect us in the daytime.
I adore my time in the sun. It's warmth is the only thing that makes my chilled corpse feel alive again. I'm satisfied with that, for now. I must be.
My brother tells me about the new court lady my mother hired. A woman in her mid fifties with her daughter, Josephine. I think she's my age, freshly eighteen. I haven't seen them yet, but I'm thrilled to finally lay my eyes on the girl. One, that's warm and alive. I'm sitting under our cherry tree, waiting for them to come outside for their garden duties. I want to meet her. Aiden says she's really pretty and I will like her, I'm not sure, though. I don't trust humans. Maybe I don't trust my family around them. I do trust myself, though.
Maybe I'm jealous.
I politely kissed Josehphine's hand once she'd approached Aiden and I to greet her. As soon as I raised her small hand to my lips, I felt that oh so desired warmth again. Similar to the sun's.
The warmth of being alive.
I wanted to keep her hand close to my lips for a moment longer to feel her heat, but she might consider that weird so I dropped her hand instead. I don't want to seem strange.
She will like me, and I will like her back in return. She will get rid of this coolness that's been haunting me my whole life. I know she will.
