[IC] A serious supernatural problem

[Shadow Dragon]

"Romanian word for vampire."

[Vampiretwilight]

"oh."
Mary said.

[Shadow Dragon]

He sighs. "Am I a monster?"

[Vampiretwilight]

Mary shook her head no.

[Shadow Dragon]

"I mean....I am. But do I act like one?"

[Vampiretwilight]

Mary shook her head no again.

[Shadow Dragon]

He smiles. "Thank you. I....needed that."

[Vampiretwilight]

Mary got up and went to hug him.

[Shadow Dragon]

He hugs her, cuddling her. "I want to make you happy. I want to be happy."

[Vampiretwilight]

"I want the same for you."
Mary whispered.

[Shadow Dragon]

He softly kisses her cheek. "Thank you."

[Vampiretwilight]

Mary faintly smiled.

[Shadow Dragon]

He smiles. "Want to read something together?"

[Vampiretwilight]

Mary shrugged.
"if it will make you happy."

[Shadow Dragon]

He walks out to the library, and looks along the rows of books and scrolls.

[Vampiretwilight]

Mary followed him. She waited.

[Shadow Dragon]

He whispers some of the titles as he passes over them. "The Great Gatsby, Moby Dick, Ulysses. I haven't read these in ages."

[Vampiretwilight]

Mary blinked. She never read any of those.

[Shadow Dragon]

He looks at the one his finger stopped on, and smiles humorlessly. "Brian Stoker."

[Vampiretwilight]

Mary blinked.
"I thought it was Bram?"
