CH 45 - Past

A/N: Hello guys, sorry for the delay but I'm still not well, had to make an emergency appointment to see a doctor and he said I need blood tests... I hate giving blood!!!

I went to see the nurse, who was new and weird, she kept smiling at me as she took the samples. In the end, she said, "You're very juicy madam."....My sister is convinced the woman is a vampire and I should hang garlic from my window because she knows where I live. T.T why me?

Wayo POV

He is quiet again. He came back with me, holding my hand in the car on the ride home. It looked as though he wanted to say something but didn't manage to. Holding it on the way up, but still not saying a word. Did he remember something sad again? I'm wrapped in strong familiar arms as I walk into the apartment, his head on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry Yo." He whispers. "I'm sorry."

"What for?"

"I remembered the past...everything."

Ah. I had so many things I wanted to ask and tell him but one was at the foremost in my mind. I thought about it over the years, I have my own ideas but I wanted to ask him.

"Why were you so angry with me?"

"I thought you didn't trust me." He answers slowly.

"About what?"

"You being a vampire..."

"You knew?" I turn in his arms to face him. "How...?"

"The specialist from the capital." He replies. "He called you a Night Child, I didn't believe it in the beginning but when you got better after drinking my blood, I couldn't doubt him."

"You gave me your blood?"

"A few drops in your water every so often." He watches me. "First time was an accident...but it made you feel better and I carried on...was it wrong?"

A born vampire, in the time before their first sleep needed to be given small amounts of blood to help awaken their nature. It made the energy in the vampire blood begin to pulse so they could be turned. A mystery for so long and the answer was this simple?

"If you didn't, I might have not have reached my first sleep, I would have d..."

"No, no, no Yo." He hugs me tightly. "Never you Yo, never you love."

"I wish I had known." I tell him unable to hide the longing. "It's a time of joy, so many things happen but for me..."

Vampire parents watched over their child in the year before they turned 21, that's when the sleep came. Remembering their firsts, like any other parents and guiding them in what was to come. They were precious memories to be cherished since blood born vampires were so rare. I had seen the sadness in my father's eyes when he spoke of it, he had no such memories with me.

"Like what?"

"Vampire parents are no different than the human ones." I tell him. "They keep a record of everything."

"I can tell you everything you want to know." He sits in the corner on the sofa, sitting me between his legs with his arms around me, just like before. "First time you drank blood, first time you stayed up all night, oh the rims of your eyes would turn red...so pretty..."

"Did you keep a diary?" I joke.

"Of course, anything about you was important and I kept a journal." He smiles.
