I watched the most gut-wrenching scream I'd ever heard rip itself from Vasilis's throat, and I knew at that moment that all he'd said about being a Vampire was true.
It was ridiculous. Farcical. The most absurd claim I'd ever heard anyone make ever. But I was too rational to dismiss the fact that there were evidences I'd seen with my own eyes that could not be explained otherwise.
But still, it was utter nonsense.
Vampires were myths. Things that belonged in fictional books and movies. They were blood-thirsty, sometimes beautiful monsters one could swoon over as long as they remained fictitious; In the pages of books, behind your TV screen.
And yet, I'd gotten myself entangled with one, and he was neither in my head, nor in the pages of my books. He was real. Standing before me as black swirls of shadows tore him apart right before my eyes.
