I was quiet, thinking. Trying to decide how to feel.

First a wave of relief. It wasn’t exactly my fault that my father wouldn’t talk or look at me.

then a wave of shock, I was a vampire, that was an interesting turn I didn’t expect but, it was okay.

Then a wave of sadness, I missed my mother so much.

And lastly, a wave of anger.  

“What? You think that I am going to marry Daryl just because you didn’t want to marry some girl who sounds perfect.” I was whispering, but I could feel the anger in my voice, and I’m sure it was evident on my face. “How dare you! How dare you promise me to someone else’s child! How dare you think that I would give myself to someone else, just because you didn’t want to fulfill your obligations.” 

By then, tears were falling. I got up and started out the door.

How dare he try and promise me to some stranger. 

Audra, I’m sorry. I heard his voice inside my mind. Sense I didn’t exactly know how to answer him; I turned in the general direction of his office and said. “Leave me alone.” Knowing fully he’d be able to hear me. 

I turned, heading down the stairs to see Martha. 

When I got to the lower kitchen, I smelt the familiar smell of plasma. It for some reason often smelt of blood in my house. It never bothered me though. But now I knew why. 

Martha emerged from the back room looking livelier then I had seen her earlier. 

“Hey sweetness, I’m sorry.” Her arms pulled me into an embrace and I fell into them willingly.  

A soft sob escaped form my lips. “why? Why me Martha?”  

She rubbed my back, comforting me. “Sweetness, every thing that happens, happens for a reason.” 

I nodded. “Hey Martha?” 

“Yes?” 

“I have questions about being…a vampire. But I don’t want to ask him. Can you explain it to me?” 

She nodded. We headed up to my room.

Once we were safely behind my closed doors, we sat on my bed.  

“Okay, so tell me, why can you go out in the sunlight?” 

“We can go in the sunlight just like normal people, just too much is bad and you get…thirsty faster.” She waited as I took that in. 

“Eating?” 

“No need to eat human food, just drink. Blood.” 

“My father said that he stayed away from me for my own safety. Why?” 

She shook her head. “I don’t know why. Maybe he was insecure and thought that he might loose control. You’d have to ask him sweetness.” 

I rolled my eyes at her suggestion. Yea like that was going to happen. 

She laughed. 

I looked up at her shocked. “Don’t tell me you can read my mind too.” 

She shook her head, “No, my line is much weaker than you and your fathers. But I can read you.” 

I sighed. “Okay. Hey can you teach me how to block my thoughts?"

She nodded. I looked at the time I had an hour until Daryl came.  

And so began the lessons.
