It has been a week since I've stayed with Aaron. I've learned more about him. He is a very responsible adult and works every day. He makes sure there's food on the table, clothes on my body, and a roof over my head. He goes into his office and disappears from reality every day. I wish I knew what his job was or what he was working on, but he never said. Meanwhile, the dreams I get about Vincent are constant. He is even in my daydreams. It's as if my dreams were trying to tell me something. It started off with nightmares about that day, but recently it's just about him standing still in a blank white world. Me, watching him as he stands in a room with no walls, no sky, just white. He slowly turns to me, but before I could even see his face, I wake up.
What does it all mean? I have no clue. Each day without him that goes by, I feel drained. I feel as if his presence was the only thing that was keeping me from falling apart. Now that he isn't with me, I am breaking down. Every day is a struggle and sometimes I can't get out of bed. Sometimes I don't even want to wake up. Aaron caught on to me one night and paid for me to see someone. I am supposed to tell this person everything. However, I can't. Why should this stranger know about me? I have a feeling if I tell her about Vincent, I'll have pills forced down my throat. A vampire boyfriend? "How delusional" they'll say. Even I thought they weren't real at first.
Although days have been hard on me, I never stopped my research. Thanks to Aaron being a rich man, I get all the newest of tech. I could find very interesting stuff, especially on vampires. Apparently a long time ago there were witches who were burned because of the things they could do. One witch created a "virus" to kill witch hunters. The witch put the virus on an arrow and shoot at the people from a safe distance. The virus then goes into a person's body and changes everything. This dramatic change killed people quickly, but some survived. The only ones who made it were pregnant women. The witch found this out when one woman, who was a witch hunter, was also in the early stages of pregnancy. They say that the women didn't change much, but the baby inside of her did. They grew along with the virus inside them. Oddly, this helped the mother stay healthy and have a good pregnancy.
The baby, when born, started as a normal human. When they got older, they're looked changed to an unusual hair color and even eye color. Two of the child's teeth grew longer than the others. The child craved food all the time until the food couldn't satisfy them. The parents found their dog dead in the child's room one night. Their child was asleep next to it with their mouth covered in blood. No one knew about this, and the parents would keep it hidden. The child itself also didn't know what happened. It is said that when the child goes into a starvation mode; they remember nothing afterward. It's as if the virus possesses them with some demon. Thus, that's how a vampire was born. "Vampires?" I hear a voice over my shoulder. I jumped and quickly slammed my laptop screen down. I glared at the man behind me, "Don't do that, Aaron!". He was quiet before responding, "My bad. I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to let you know that dinner's ready."
"Okay, I'll be there in a moment," I told him and wanted to wait till he left before continuing to read. He looked at my laptop before looking back at me, "Why are you hiding that from me? You act as if I caught you looking at porn" he gave a slight chuckle. Confused, I asked, "looking at what?" He leans on the back of the couch that I was sitting on. He faced me and gave me a weird look, "Don't tell me you don't know what porn is." I shook my head, still confused on the topic. He gave a small sigh, "Have you ever had "the talk" yet? How old are you again?" he asked. "The talk? I am 17" He looked shocked and stood up straight with one hand over his mouth. He seems like he's thinking about something "Hold on" he says as he left. He came back once again, but with what looked like a floppy book. He sat down next to me and placed the book on the coffee table. "Okay.." He said and glanced at me "all right.. um.. welp. When two people love each other very much, they lay in the bed together and... well... they" He looked very nervous as he glanced around the room, not making much eye contact with me. Curious, I wanted to know "They what?" I asked.
"This is something I never wanted to have to explain..." Aaron sighed as he placed his hand on his forehead. He got up once again and came back with mustard and ketchup. "All right, so pretend these are people. They get close to each other and..." He squirts mustard and ketchup on the table. Aaron pointed at it, "Now they made a baby". I was even more confused than before "Wait, what?" I asked. "How are humans even able to do that?" I kept asking. He rubbed his head and gave a deeper sigh, "Okay.. um.. you and I have a hotdog. Right?" he questioned me. I looked around for a moment and turned to look at the kitchen before glancing back at Aaron, "I don't know. Do we?"
"Jesus..." Aaron muttered and looked down before looking at me "A wee-wee" Aaron could easily tell it still confused me cause before I said anything, he interrupted me "A penis, Sky". My face slowly turned red once I processed the word. He shook his head slowly as he explained, "You use that to make a baby inside a woman. That's how you have children". My face was still red thinking about it. I had more questions, but I was too embarrassed to ask anything "I understand now," I said, just to make this conversation end. Aaron gave a sigh of relief, "Thank god. I did not want to go into detail" He got up "Now, come eat please" he said as he left the living room. I decided to quit for today and search tomorrow. For now, I sat down and ate dinner with Aaron.
