We walked back to my room in silence. I had shrugged my hand out of Julietta's as soon
as we left the library, and I was a step or two ahead of her, not bothering to slow my
pace or even see if she was still there. Maybe I should have been nicer, but I wasn't in
the mood. The day had started out crap, and had only gotten worse as it progressed.
Let's review. One: I'm forced to live in a huge mansion full of strangers. Two: Julietta knows
who my... attacker is, but she won't tell me. Three: He might have passed down some
crazy shit to me through his bloodline, which I'm sure won't make my stay here any more
pleasant. As we neared my door, (I has suprisingly remembered where it was) I fumbled
for the key Toby had given me, unlocked it, and went in.
Julietta came in behind me, and shut the door.
"Are you alright?" She had the nerve to ask, sitting on the edge of my bed.
"Yeah," I said, "Peachy."
I wandered to my bag and started unpacking my clothes and putting them into the drawers
of a dresser near the bathroom door.
"If you like," Julietta began, "I can accompany you to a local bar where you can feed."
I didn't answer at first, then I turned around and looked at her.
"No... I mean, that's not necessary." I replied.
"What do you mean?"
"I..." God, this would be embarrassing. "I don't feed off of humans. I buy blood from butcher
shops." There. I said it.
Julietta raised an eyebrow. "I see. Well, that's fine. I'll get Simon to run by there and buy
you some every once in a while, if you don't mind. It would probably be better that we keep
the covenhouse stocked with extra blood, just in case, anyway."
I didn't know who Simon was, but I just shrugged. "Cool. Thanks." I said.
"Well, I'll leave you now. Toby stays across the hall, so if you need anything, ask him."
"Thanks." I managed a weak smile.
She nodded and stood, and made her way to the door.
"Goodnight." I said, then immediately wished I hadn't.
She turned to look at me, with a curious expression on her face. "You sleep at night?"
"It isn't like it's unheard of." I said, "I've heard of vampires that aren't nocturnal. Sure, we
have sensitive skin, but it's nothing a little sunblock won't fix. And besides, I have work
during the day." I was explaining myself in a rush, while simultaneously cursing myself
for spouting unnecessary, humilitaing things.
Julietta smiled and shook her head. "You're a very interesting girl, Alejandra."
The way she said it gave me the horrible urge to blush. "Alley. My name is Alley."
"Alright, then." She replied, turning to leave once more. "Goodnight, Alley."
She shut the door behind her, and it took me a second to remember how to breathe.
Alley is pretty freakin' human, for a vampire.
XD
And Julietta is just wonderful.
