Chapter 3

It's 3am and I still can't get some sleep in. Been turning and tossing the covers around me hoping maybe just maybe, I'd find the perfect sleeping spot but I'll tell you all efforts has been futile. Sleeping has not really been much of a problem for me. I mean a close of my eyes and I've gotten to the Dreamland but right now, the situation is a little different as I can't seem to shut my eyes.

Laying on my bed thinking of why I couldn't not fall asleep and getting in some beautiful imagination about my future, a sudden thirst hit me urrghh this couldn't get any better. Jeez! Getting up from my bed to quench whatever this is, is very difficult I tell you but no way am I going to lay and let this thirst be the death of me. So, with that in my I decided to get up out of the find, find my way to the kitchen and get this thirst gone. On my way down to the kitchen, my thirst kept bothering me like it was this unending urge for something which right now is making me think if just water can do whatever trick this is and on top of that, my anxiety is way up now than ever. As soon as I got to the kitchen, I bolted towards the faucet to get some water running in my cup but this wasn't doing anything. It was like I was taking in mere liquid and seeing as water wasn't doing anything to reduce the thirst, I decided to opt for some hot milk. I mean, it's milk right so this should do. As I was preparing for my hot cup of milk, I saw my mom standing out in the corridor, how didn't I notice her before "mom, is that you?" oh yes honey, you're awake". Yes ma, I could not sleep, I have been really thirsty and water did not to the trick so, I decided to try some hot milk till I noticed you standing out on the corridor is everything okay? And, why you up by the way, did you just get in? "no mi amor, I just had a difficult time sleeping. Oh! is everything okay, do you want to talk about it? " huh, yes of course seeing as we both can't sleep why not use this time for bonding and talk about about everything bothering us yeah? Yeah, sure. Why don't you have a sip of this, it'll help with the thirst. " are you sure mom, isn't that wine you're taking? Just take it honey trust me. Okay ma".

Where wouldy like me to start? My mom asked. Start from the scratch ma, everything I said and then waited for her to do the talking. "You know when you were born, I was the most happiest person in the world and your father was too, in fact he was super excited that he couldn't wait to hold you in his hands. I need you to know your father loves you and always will. Mom, why you telling me all this? "Honey, I'm telling you because I want you to know everything and maybe with that, you can put two and two together and answer all the questions you have. Okay then, I'm listening.

You must be wondering why I always have a soft spot for humans and how I always love to come to city? I replied, yes mama. Well, when I was much more younger well, I'm still young since I can't age. I used to be human. "what?? Mom, you must be joking". young lady, I'm the one doing the talking, you listen. "okay, I'm sorry, please continue" good, as I was saying I used to be human, doing everything humans do without any bother in the world or having to pretend about who I was, nothing. Then, I met your father, he was the most handsome man I have ever met and he still is. "how did you meet dad?" I met your father while I was working at a diner. You know I didn't have anyone taking care of me, I had to do everything myself, don't know who my biological parents are. All I know is that she never wanted me because if she did, she wouldn't leave me in an orphanage. Growing up was really difficult moving from one foster home to another and when I became legal, I started to look after myself. Don't think I did not try to find them, I tried so much but then, it occurred to me that maybe just maybe she does not want to be found so, I just gave up. As I was saying, I met your dad while working, when he came in, he looked like he had been having a bad day and I was the one available to attend to him. Asking for what he wanted to order and seeing as he might have been having a bad day, I decided to give him a treat, told him it was on the house. But your father still somehow managed to pay for the meal and then wrote me down his number" that is my number we could hang when you are off work" when I found the note he left, I was shocked 'cause I did not expect him dropping his number. Might I add, I was quite a catch back in the day and still am.

One day when I was off work, did not know what to do, I decided to give him a call and since then we have been hanging out every single time, we would go to several places, stay up all night talking on the phone,doing all sort of crazy things together and sometimes he would come to the diner just to see me as he would say. As time went on, I didn't know I was falling for him and I was falling fast but I wasn't ready to acknowledge that justIjust yet and I wasbwas weary 'cause I did not know if he felt the same way about me. Then this day came, he called and said he hard something important to tell me. Best believe I expecting some sad new which mad be so anxious to hear what it was that he wanted to say. With that, I decided to get off work early. After getting off work, I called and asked him, where he wanted to meet and so we agreed to meet at another restaurant close to the diner I was at like about 15 minutes walk.

When I got there, I saw him sitting at the back sit of the restaurant, got there said our greetings then decided to order some food. While we were waiting for the food, he said "Arya, the reason why I wanted to meet you was to tell you something which is very important" As he made that statement, my heart skipped but still maintained my cool and said to him continue. " you might not have been expecting this but I like you, so much but" but? But? Why's there a but this wasn't making any sense you like me, I like you so much but why is there a but? I said. " I know this might come out a little off and something you probably don't expect or might not believe but the thing is, I'm a vampire." "I froze" I understand you might not want anything to do with me, I would totally understand I mean if I were you, I wouldn't want anything to do with me either, I just wanted to let you know just maybe, maybe you might still want something to do with me. When he said that, I was not expecting that, to be just fair, I really wouldn't want anything to do with him but I was already way to deep to just let it all go. It took me a minute to get words in then I said something he wasn't expecting me to say. I said to him, I like you no matter who you are". I know I should have left him but I couldn't *sobs* because I already loved him too much to leave.

Before we could be together, I had to transition meaning I had to leave and forget who I was and what I used to be so I could be with him but I don't regret one bit of it because then I had you my little one. The day I had you was one of the happiest thing that happened to me and I would not change that for the world. "te quiero mama. " yo también te quiero mi amor". To answer your questions and to clear your doubts, te estas convirtiendo en un vampiro, that's why you have all those feelings and the thirst you feel is the thirst for blood mi amor and with time, you would learn to control it. But now, your are transitioning so, it's going to take a while for you to control and calm yourself. At this stage, your senses would be more alert and anything could trigger you so, mi amor you have to be careful. Come to think of it, I don't feel any thirst anymore why? that's because what I gave you in the cup the other time was not wine. "ohhhh, I see" I'm not crazy then, "no you're not my love, you're just like me and your father." And I'll here every step of the way. I love you ma. "I love you too my child ".
