The Story of Us

Chapter 5:

  We played Monopoly about five times and Mario Kart Racing on the Wii several times.

  The more I'm with him the more I feel...... I don't know how I feel. He's even more of a physco than I thought but I find it alluring. Just an hour ago he claimed he's a vampire. What the heck?

[Flashback]

  Leo walked over to the porcelain mini fridge and pulled out this water bottle filled with what looked like kool-aid. "Leo, may I have some?" I asked, knowing he'd let me. "Sure darling," He handed me the bottle. I took a sip. "Didn't know you also enjoy slurping down some fresh, chinchilla blood."  I spit the liquid across the room and ran to the water fountain tucked in the corner.

  "It's okay darling. My first time tasting the sweet blood made me spit it out too. But I had to tell myself that's all I can have to survive. Even though I am immortal I still need to be healthy. My family helped me through the journey of turning into one of the best vampires this place has seen. And with my help...." He turned me around to face him and gripped my chin to look in my eyes, "You will be the best vampriss this place will ever see. And next to you will be your friend. Your life. Me." And with that he walked away. Leaving me alone in the corner dumbfounded that he believes he's a vampire.

[End Flashback]

  "Darling, you look so lost right now. What's troubling you, my dear?" He's holding my hand in his. Normal people would pull away, yell at him to back off, claim that they haven't even met before. But, I am different from them. I look him straight in his eyes. They look so worried.

  "Its nothing. Just thinking about what you told me earlier. About being a vampire. I want to be with you but, it sounds so made up." I looked away, feeling as if I hurt him.

  He's now sitting next to me. He lightly pulls my face so I'm facing him. "Come with me, princess." He picks me up bridal style.

  He carries me into a dark hallway, puts me down gently, and snaps his fingers. Magically the lights came on. Photographs lined the hall. All the people in them looked different yet similar in a confusing way. Under each picture is a golden name tag with who is in the picture and the date of their lives. Some millions of years old. He was right about the vampire. I starred at one who looked identical to Leo, shocked. I turned around to see the spouses of the men on the opposite side. My eyes fluttered back and forth between the one that looks like Leo and the empty frame for his spouse. Next to the empty frame was a picture of... oh god. It was a picture of me. Across from it was Leo's.

  "What is this? Why is there a picture of me?!" I asked, frantically.

  "This is the hall of my ancestors. Your picture is in here because you're my beloved and that makes you part of the family. Therefore your picture is in here," he looks over to the missing picture. "This was supposed to be the frame for my mother's picture. My father was a drinker and a druggie and Quamira (qua-MY-ra) left him. I wasn't even born yet. She gave birth to me and dumped me on the front porch of this very own house. He took care of me until the day he died. But there once was a picture there. On the day of my father's funeral she broke in and took the picture. I've tried contacting her but she never gets back to me." He started crying and fell to the ground , back against the wall. I sat down besides him, he put his head on my lap and I just saf there soothing him.

  Creek. I looked towards the door and saw Eu with his beloved... Her.
