Life isn't what is should be when the only person alive that UNDERSTANDS me isn't living at all! The Vampire is a good friend, a true companion. I refuse to be bitter. That is one of my problems. If I was bitter, my family would understand me, and I would not be an outcast. Instead, I am truthful to a tee, without guile or hatred. Does a mother say 'Impossible! That THING cannot be my child!'. No, I will not be bitter. I will seek another way...and leave the shadowed night behind.
