Demons, Vampires, and a Little Bit of Love

"Is it bad that he's a vampire, Mom?" I asked her, worried.

"Well, no, not really 'bad' but typically demons and vampires don't get along very well," she told me. "It's almost a miracle that the two of you got along so well!"

{She's taking this too lightly...}

"But... he was so nice to me and we hung out together just fine, so why don't other demons and vampires get along?" I asked, a little confused.

"Well, I guess because the war that happened hundreds of years ago between demons and vampires," Mom explained.

{War?}

Dad piped in, suddenly, "You shouldn't be hanging around a vampire, Rose. They're deceptive and greedy. Stay away from him, you hear me?"

{I'm sure that vampires could call demons the same things...}

Mom and Dad locked eyes, and Mom backed down.

"Yes sir," I lied.

{I just made a friend like they always wanted me to, but now I can't be with him because he's a vampire...what am I supposed to do?}

And that's when my life began to change, for better or for worse...
