Peach Hills

Information

I pull up in front of THC (The Hills Cafe) prepared that Cory is going to tell me everything. 

Me: I'm here.  

I text him.

I step out of the car and take a seat outside, THC is one of the only places in Peach Hills with tables on the outside. Weird huh. I look around and see him walking up to me and I feel my heart speed up, as much as I don't want to admit it. I'm scared. "Natasha." He nods in my direction as he sits down. "Hi Cory." As he takes a seat across me I realise he's eyes. They are a dark blue. They're gorgeous, and how he's dark brown hair is naturally messy but in a sexy way. I have never looked at him in this light before. No. I can't do this! He's hurt me. Physically. He's a, a vampire. "Natasha, what would you like?" I realise I was daydreaming and I look to see him staring at me and the waiter waiting to take our orders. "Umm latte please." She writes it down and walks away. "You really like your lattes don't you?" He asks me creating conversation. I look up at he's smile and realise something. I can't hate him. I'm not scared of him anymore, I never was. I was just nervous. "Yeah it's my usual drink." I giggle but become serious straight afterwards. I can't let him think that things will be fine and he doesn't have to tell me. "Are you going to tell me about all of this or expect me to forget?" I question. "I will tell you about the fact that I'm a" the waiter comes back with our drinks and he lowers he's voice. "Vampire." He looks at me, almost like he's scared. "So tell me. Everything Cory. Starting with your age." I tell him confidently. "I will tell you everything Tash." I nod and we both take a sip of our drinks.
"I'm a vampire. This isn't a Dracula movie. Yes, we burn in the sun. We feed off human blood but have the ability of compulsion, a mind control that makes them forget. I don't fight for the kill, it's not how I live but I do need to survive off it. We can't enter a home unless we have been invited inside. We have fast reflexes, can move really fast, we are strong and I have this chain around my wrist that allows me to walk in the sun. It's always been with me I got it as a gift at birth." He tells me. I feel him opening up to me, he wants me to know these things. "How old are you?" I ask feeling more comfortable around him. I take a sip of my drink and he does too. "I've been 17 years old since 1823. That makes me 193 years old." He looks down at he's drink. I am shocked but I keep a serious face. "Wow." Is the only word that escapes my lips. "Are there anyone else like you? How long have you been in Peach Hills?" I ask. "I was not born here but used to live here in the 1900's for a few years but I couldn't stay anywhere for a certain amount of time. People would notice the not ageing. I always kept coming back, something always brought me back to this small town I just never knew what it is or was. It just kept bringing me back. I have always liked small towns. As a child I lived in England with my family. As for your other question, I only came back here recently Tash, I'm not sure but I think there is because those animal attacks. Those vampire attacks! They aren't me. The one at the cafe when I was with you, I didn't kill her." Do I believe him? "Who turned you?" I ask confidently. I am happy he is opening up to me and talking to me. Why did he want me to be afraid? Knowing he's secret sort of makes me want him a bit more. "That's a story for another day." He finishes he's drink and stands up. "Cory, why?" I motion for him to sit down. "Let's go for a walk." He tells me. "Tell me now."  I stand up and he nods. We walk into the middle of the town, the park.
As we walk I feel nervous. We take a seat at a park bench.
