I'm a vampire...Pass the coffee
Which shocked Draven and Elysium, but I loved it. Being a size eighteen vampire isn’t fun. Losing those ten pounds had dropped my size to a sixteen. I almost danced when I picked up a pair of sixteen’s and they fit. So I sat at my fake window and pondered what to do. I did find that I couldn’t see myself in the mirror so I had suggested to Draven using digital video for those that wore make-up and had to deal with hair. It worked pretty well; you see we can be videoed and photographed but have no reflection. He was working on a way to put in a projector screen or large TV to use as a mirror. I had suggested using the projector screen and a web cam type thing. He thought it was a good idea, but at the same time you would have to have a projector to put it on the screen. So the TV idea was a better way to go, just have a camera on top of the TV that goes right into the TV.
“Draven, I know you’re there.” I called out having heard him.
“You seemed so upset that I didn’t want to leave you alone.” Draven could see that she was upset, but not sure why.
“That is so sweet, but I just had an idea. For the TV thing for mirrors, do a TV with the camera on top of it. That way you are getting a wide view of everything in the room. If you want a closer view you just use a smaller camera. Maybe we could try it in my bathroom and see if it works.” I sugested to him with a smile, being a diva did come in handy from time to time.
“You amaze me you know. All this time and no one thought of doing this.” Of cours the ones coming up with the ideas where old Draven thought.
He sat in front of me and looked into my eyes. Draven knew that the drugs were testing my limits and I hated not being able to do my hair or make-up. What a stupid thing to have happen, to not see yourself in a mirror. Really? Who made these things up? I had a soul…I think. So I sighed and looked into his sea green eyes and wanted to fall into them. It was always like that, me falling into him. Draven was my soulmate, I knew that from the moment we meet. I didn't tell him that however. WTMI at the frist change meetings.
“I guess we should go and speak to your parents. Do you want to tell them the truth or make something up? It is dangerous for them to know the truth about you but I won’t make you lie. For one you are terrible at it.” We both laughed at that because it was true.
I laughed until I felt tears sliding down my face. It was so funny to me that he knew me that well. I really was horrible at telling lies. So here we sat trying to figure out what to tell my parents. I didn’t want to have to lie to them and I trusted that they wouldn’t say anything to anyone else.
“Then we tell the truth.” I told him, or something so close I wouldn't mess up.
I stood and grabbed his hand pulling him with him into the front room. I knew this was where my mother would end up. The view from the windows happens to be amazing, better during the day. It seemed the other two women in the group could handle small amounts of sunlight as well. The men hadn’t wanted to try yet, so we didn’t know if the drugs were working the same on them as they were for the women. I think women are just better and the drugs were working different. So we had to get the men to grow a pair and see if they could get close to the windows. One of the guys gave me the creeps in the worst way and I really did think something was wrong with him. I told Draven that I thought he had a demon but he laughed at the thought. Vampires did turn demon possessed humans. If they did then they would end up with a demonic vampire and hat wasn’t a pleasant thought. I still had the feeling that we had done just that.
“Mom…” I walked up to her and gave her a hug then hugged my dad. They both looked so happy to see me and they had that fire in their eyes again. I loved to see them like this and wanted nothing more than to watch the way they would grow. I just hoped they didn’t split again.
“You look amazing, have you lost weight?” My mom said with a bright smile.
“I have shed a few pounds. How about we sit down and talk. I have so much to tell you and most of it you aren’t going to believe. Maybe we should put on some coffee.” I suggested to Draven as she all sat.
So Draven went and started a pot of coffee. As we waited for the coffee to finish I talked to her about life, and then they gave me my gifts that they bought on the trip up. An amazing blue sweater that showed off my eyes, and a pair of butterfly earrings. I loved both and they knew it, my mom saved the best for last of course. A pair of Prada boots, that I almost screamed my head off over. Mom knew how much I loved my shoes.
“They are great thanks. Here’s the coffee.” I said when Draven brought in a large tray with two mugs and the coffee. Cream and sugar were also on the tray. It was kind of telling that he only put two mugs on the tray though. They didn’t seem to notice and fixed a mug for themselves. I gave them a smile and waited till they both had their drinks before I started the story.
“I am sure you both already know I was woman napped.” They both laughed at the way I worded it but hey I liked it. So I pushed on into the story, and edited version of course. “Well Draven was taken as well. What we, I didn’t know was that I would die that night.”
My mom spit coffee all over the place and then paled like she would faint. I didn’t move toward her, no that wouldn’t make it any easier what I had to tell her. So I let her get her wits about her and pushed on with my story.
“Well that night I found out that Draven is a vampire. He turned me vampire to save my life.” I told her and could see they didn't blieve me.
Not shocking of course, vampires? They aren't real it isn't possible.
