“We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.”

"What’s wrong" Kim asked me during lunch.  

Mr. Night has been gone for whole week. Did he quit, is he afraid of me that much. 

I couldn’t help but feel bad, and every single day Edward would rub this in my face. Every freaking day. 

And I just can’t stand it anymore. 

"Come over today Kim. I leave tomorrow and I want us to spend the day together. I’ll pick the movie." I said, having decided that I would tell her. 

Because I knew that if she's afraid I can erase her memories, although I don’t know what I’ll get out of telling her. Maybe she might understand me. 

"Ok" she said walking away and going to class.  

I spent the rest of the day thinking about many, many things. Mainly about Mr. Night. I’m worried, why wasn’t he going to school anymore, did I really scare him off.

After school I walked home. Kim was going to get here by four. I slowly cleaned. Then I made lasagna. 

When I heard the knock on the door I ran to it and opened it. 

Kim was standing with grocery bags full of junk food. 

"Are you trying to make me gain weight?" I asked sarcastically, while putting my hands on my waist. 

She giggled "it’s for a good cause." she said smiling. 

I stepped aside so she could stepped in. 

She put the things on the table. I turned on my TV and put on my favorite movie. 

"Interview with a Vampire. I love this movie!" Kim squealed. 

If you haven’t seen the movie I’ll tell you what it’s about.

It’s about this man, Louis, who turns depressed after his wife dies in labor. Louis wants to end his life, no longer knowing the purpose in life. But then a vampire Lestat suddenly becomes interested in Louis. 

Lestat then offers Louis a chance at becoming a vampire. He accepts, Louis must then learn about becoming a vampire from Lestat. But Lestat does not live a good life. And Louis learns that, the hard way. 

The movie is really good, although it is kind of old.

"I love it" Kim said after the movie finished. 

"I would love to become a vampire." she said while finishing the last bag of chips. 

"No, you wouldn’t" I said sincerely. 

"When you have a family like mine..." she said with a very sad tone. 

"But being a vampire isn’t all is said to be" I said fully  

"How would you know" she said with a sigh, 

"Well.... what would you do if I were a vampire." I asked curiously. 

"I’ve known you for four years" she said. 

"Give me your hand ." I said with a smile. 

She extended her hand hesitantly. I retracted my fangs, and made a small puncture on her finger. 

She brought her hand to her face, fascinated and shocked. 

"And you never told me!" she yelled. 

I chuckled. "Yea Kim. What would you want me to say, 'hi I’m Emilia and I’m a seven hundred old vampire'" I said sarcastically. 

She smiled. "No, but we've been best friends since ninth grade." she said, her tone a little sad. 

"I’m sorry, it’s not something I say lightly." I said smiling. 

"And Mr. Night. Does he know?" I nodded, "is that why he's been absent?" she asked me. 

I shrugged "I don’t know" I said defeated. 

"Is that why you’re leaving?" she asked me, sadly. 

"Yea" I said. 

She suddenly sat up. A determined look on her face. "Take me with you!" she said smiling. 

"Kim, trust me. You wouldn’t like it." I said honestly. 

She turned to me and smiled, "no, you don’t like it because you've been alone all this time. But I’m going to have you." she said

She then went on to describe the 'pros' to me turning her into a vampire. 

"And lastly, I’m an amazing companion. We can travel the country together. And live happily ever after." 

"Kim this isn’t a movie were the people live happily ever after, this is real life. What if you don’t like being a vampire?" I said trying to make her see the negative side of being a vampire. 

"Please" she asked me. 

Knowing some vampires they would turn people for the hell of it. 

"I’ll think about it"
