CH.4 NON-BELIEVER

Saturday 8:34am
I'm walking around the castle with Adrea, she's taking me to the very place she love spending her time in.

I starting to get the feeling that something is wrong here, along the hallway we're in, I spot a tall floor to ceiling mirror which is the same size as the window, I remembered dad used to say most supernatural creature have a weakness to silver and if the vampire reflection bounces off the silver mirror, it wouldn't reflect, the silver would kills the reflection.

As we walk by the mirror I turned and take a look in it, I stare at myself and Adriana smiling back at me through her reflection. "This mirror is large" I said, ignoring the fact I thought she was a vampire, maybe I'm just overthinking, "Yea it's old but still very beautiful, I love mirror" she says, wiping off the little red lipstick on her teeth, "mhm" I make a funny face in the mirror, she laughed.

What I don't know was, silver mirror kinda went out of popularity in the 1940s, so nowadays the mirror you buy or the mirror you use aren't silver anymore, and if there's a vampire behind you and you look in the mirror you would see them and you wouldn't realize they were a vampire.

We walk into a library and Ms.Venable was there with Katherine, they look at us, "good morning Ms. Venable, Katherine" I see Ms.Venable started coughing, "good morning girls" Katherine smile, "morning" Ms.Venable grabbed her cane and wanting to leave the room, "I'm sorry if we interrupt you" I says, feeling like Ms. Venable doesn't enjoy my company, "no no it's fine I just need some fresh air" She says, walking out.

We spend half of the day in the library reading books, I found a book about the existence of bloodsuckers, Katherine leave us in here by ourselves, "Adrea do you believe in Vampires?" I innocently asked, she laughed out loud, "No, it's stupid to believe in such thing" She shake her, "Well my family do believe in those cold blood creature" I noticed as I said the word creature her face dropped, "Oh sorry I mean everyone have the right to believe in what they believe exist but I just don't" She says turning another chapter, "yeah you're right" I nods.

2pm
I told Adrea that I'm leaving, mom just called me and she need me at house immediately, Adrea understood and she offer to give me a ride home but I remind her that I drive here and can't just leave my car at her house. Of course I lied, mom didn't even call me, while we were having lunch I caught Ethan staring at my neck and Adrea slapped his arm. Now and then I watch him open his mouth for the food, he caught me looking at him, "what Violet I know I'm too stunning not to stare at but I can't eat if you kept staring at me" he smiled and I thought I saw his fangs, "you got a very beautiful smile" I said, he grinned once again but the fangs were gone, just his shiny white teeth.

"There will always be a "lie" in believe"
