-Children of the Night-

Chapter 4~ In Doubt

I felt like a monster. No, I didn't just feel like one- I was a monster. I tried to resist the urge to feed, but deep down I knew I was fighting a losing battle. My mouth watered at the thought of drinking blood. Worst of all, it was her blood. The one I care about. Scarlett. What would happen if I fed from her? Would she die? Would she become like me? I had to find Red. Find Red? No. How would I find him? The guy could freaking disappear. That's when I heard it. His voice inside my head. What do you need? ...what!? Now i'm hearing things? Great. I heard his voice again. I don't have time to wait. What do you want ,Vincent? I replied, in my thoughts I guess. How are you inside of my head? He spoke a little louder. I'm not necessarily inside of your head, I'm just speaking to you telepathically. I assume when you were in doubt, you contacted me, oblivious to what you were actually doing. When vampires know each other's true names, they can communicate using their mind. It is very useful. I felt amazed. This was pretty cool. I asked him, what happens if I feed from Scarlett? He took a moment. For vampires, we can do many different things with our bite. The most simple one for you would be this: if the person doesn't see or hear you, and you bite right above their artery, you can put them into a state of sleep. You can also receive any string of thought from them you want. This helps us put them back at home, so they don't remember anything. Unless you want to kill them, that is. By now, I was almost certain Red was laughing as usual. I felt a wierd weight lifted from the air around me, and I could no longer hear Red's voice. It relieved me that I wouldn't have to hurt Scarlett. All I had to do now was wait. Tomorrow was Sunday. I could text her and ask her to meet me at the park. How ironic.....my first date with her would be something that she was going to completely forget, due to my newfound abilities. I took off my shirt and went to sleep.
