"Oh, er, okay." I reply, a little intrigued, but I didn't pursue the thought. "Oh, um, there's something you may wan to know about me, that some of the others already know..."
I get up and sulk over to the basket of apples. I chill one down and take a bite of it. I go outside, sun hurting my eyes, and see Hydrala talking to someone I don't know.
"I think the supernatural is incredible!" I smile at her before looking down to the floor. "And well, if I am honest." I pull open the side of my mouth with a finger to show her my fangs. "You can't tell anyone." I say.
"Well... No... I am an excuse of a vampire." I say sadly, "only a half vampire in a family of full vampires. I am never really at home with them being asleep all day, so I thought I would help you guys out here."
I go out into the forest to take a break from cleaning, and I get an urge to climb. The cat instincts in me, I suppose.
I climb up a tree, and stop at about the middle. Then I look down. I must be 30 feet off of the ground!" I start to tremble on the branch. I'm stuck!
"Oh." I say. I think for a minute. Suddenly, the headache returns. No! Not now! I can't lose myself... Not when she is up there... I'm able to snap out of it. Suddenly, I had an idea.
I coated my arms and hands with a web of snow that was soft and pillowy. Hmmm... This might not be the best idea, now that I think about it... Eh, it should do.
"Try to climb to a lower branch, then jump down!" I yelled up to her.
Thoughts quickly run through my head. What if it isn't good enough?
What if she misses my arms?
What if it hurts me?
Too late now, I guess.
I close my eyes, hoping for the best. Suddenly, she lands safely in my arms. I take a deep sigh of relief.
