Chapter 6

                  After hearing his explanation on how he is a vampire, I can't help myself for feeling bad for him. I know, call me crazy but it's sad. Xavier had no choice over becoming one, he said he never wanted to become one but was forced by his sire. He is friends with his sire now because of the bond that a sire creates. 

" At first I hated being a vampire, I hated everything about it, but as the years passed I grown use to being one. I survive off of animal blood mostly." He finishes. 

" But the poor animals." I reply before thinking. He laughs. 

" I don't like hurting people." He says, I nod. That's sweet but I still feel bad for the animals. 

" I'm just an animal person." I say and laugh. He nods. 

"I can tell." He laughs. 

" Have you ever drunk human blood before?" I ask nervously. He sighs with a nod. 

" I have but I'm not proud of it." He says. " When a vampire is first turned they always want human blood because the taste and the strength it gives. It's what we automatically want. For you it'd be like being so hungry and thirsty and seeing your favorite food and drink right in front of you." He answers slowly. 

           I feel goosebumps form on my arms and a chill shudder through me. I understand what he means it's just weird.... but I know it wasn't his choice and turning into a vampire is completely different. I just haven't gone through it, unlike him. Even though I feel a little scared, I still feel safe around him. 

" Do you remember being a human?" I ask. There's a small sad smile that appears on his lips, and for some reason it makes me want to comfort him. What is happening to me?

" Yes. Sometimes I miss it, I miss my family." He replies, I nod. He looks down, avoiding my concerning look. 

         

         The way he looks so sad makes me want to just give him a hug. I get  up and go to him and do what I'm thinking. I give him a hug, wrapping my arms around him. Surprisingly, he hugs me back tightly. A blush creeps it's way onto my face and a small smile forces it's self onto my lips. I barely know Xavier but as I'm hugging him, I feel like I've known him forever. Is that weird? Probably.

" Thank you." He whispers.

" You're welcome." I whisper back. He pulls away and I immediately want the warmth of his hug back. He smiles at me and I smile back.

" I should probably go...." He says putting his hands in his pocket. I sigh, does he really? He laughs. " I should." He adds. I blush, forgot he could read my mind. Wait. So he knew what I was thinking while hugging him. My blush grows more spreading over my face.

"Oh, well I guess you better." I reply with a small smile. He nods, looking out the window.

" I'll see you tomorrow?" He asks quietly. I nod with a smile.

" Definitely." I answer.

       He smiles back and I can't help but notice how perfect his teeth are. Everything about him seems perfect. I walk with him to my door before opening it and watching him walk out slowly. He stops and turns around to me.

    " Sleep good tonight." He grins, before walking away and into the woods, no longer in view.

     I smile before shutting the door behind me and going up to my room. I change into some of my cute pajamas. After brushing my teeth and turning my light off and lamp on,  I crawl into my full size bed and cover up. Laying there, my thoughts drift off to Xavier, I can't help but think of him. I'm not sure why. The last thoughts I have are of him before I fall into a deep slumber.
