Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 - Understanding

"Milk, how understand word?" I ask in curiosity, how I can understand the Word immediately.

"Well, you see..." The Maid looks troubled, seemingly not knowing how to explain.

"It's... complicated."

"OK, I still want hear story!" I say, indicating that I REALLY want to hear it.

The Maid sighs and starts explaining, while I happily suck on my Bottle.

"So, as you know we are Vampires. I won't explain much, since you will learn more of our Race in the future, but, one thing I can explain is how our Learning System works, especially as a Baby. We Vampires learn Languages rather quickly and efficiently, understanding words with ease and being able to form basic Sentences at the age you are currently. But there is one thing I can't understand. And that is your unique way of learning. Somehow you can only talk like the other Vampire Babies, but your form of understanding seems to be rather developed. It's like an Adult was put into the Body of a Child. But I won't pry much farther into that, maybe you're just a quick learner!" She smiles and starts walking me back to my Room.

"Want to show you!" I take a Pen she has in her Pocket.

"Hey! You can't just take that, that Thing is dangerou-" I take the Pen in my Hand and hold it like any normal Person would.

"But how? You're still a Baby."

"Well, me almost Three! Me want show you! Give! Give!" I wave the Pen.

"Okay, fine. But only since you seem to know how to hold it."

We walk to my Room and the Maid gives me a piece of Paper.

I write on it, not the language of this World, but the Language of my Home Country on Earth.

"Here, Look! Look!" I push the Paper up to her Face.

She takes it in her Hands and looks at it.

"What language is that? And how do you know how to write in it?" The Maid seems genuinely concerned.

"Me from other World. There Adult!" I say that, but... will she actually believe me?

The Maid taken aback by my Statement, looks at me with fearful eyes.

"What... do you... mean? You are from another World. And there you wear an Adult?" Her Voice is shaky, her arms and Legs are trembling.

"Why you scared?" I genuinely ask her, out of worry. Did I say something wrong?

"N- No... how could I..." She's lying to me, it's obvious.

"O-ok! I am scared! But not because of you, but because of what you said! Do you even know what those Words mean?"

I shake my Head, not knowing what she means by that.

She laughs in a scared Tone.

"Of course, you wouldn't." She kneels down to look at my Face directly. "Listen to me. No matter what you do, let this Fact be a Secret. Don't tell anyone or anything, no matter how trustworthy they are, about this. Okay?"

"But why?" I ask her.

"Listen, I won't tell you why, but just know this. If you tell someone who has bad intentions, it can End in Chaos. So, please, just don't tell anybody." She stands up and proceeds to walk out of the Room.

"I will pretend that we've never had this Conversation." She says, in a serious tone. She then Closes the Door, somewhat forcefully, and walks away.

I sigh, still wondering what she meant.

Not thinking about it further, I go to Bed and quickly fall asleep again.

But this Time, the Nightmare I had wasn't just a Nightmare.
