Leti ignored most of the doctor's odd and annoying
suggestions about her nonexistent cannibalism because he was only trying to
annoy her so she couldn't allow him to succeed. At least not fully. She did
smile, pleased with his encouragement when it came to quitting her job. IT was
still hard to believe he was actually going to let her work for
him.
?
"I'll study hard," she promised. "I'll be at your
place early in the morning sharp and I'll get some books if you'll let me borrow
em.I'll be real careful with them I promise," she said, tone eager and
sincere.
?
She knew she'd have long hours studying when not
working for him but she would do it. She wanted to be worth having
around.
?
Oliver studied Henry with a smile of amusement on
his face as he silently weighed his options. How to tell them what he
was.
?
"So I assume I'm going first," he
said.
?
"Very well. I am a vampire."
?
Before they could object he was across the room in
a flash, far vaster than the human eye could track then back at Henry's side. He
lifted the larger man easily and tossed him into the hair before placing him on
his feet. He then misted, became a bat, flew around Henry's head and then misted
once again before becoming himself in the flesh.
?
Leti gaped, one hand flying to her
mouth.
?
"Now you gonna try an eat us," she asked in horror
and he chuckled, shaking his head.
?
?
"I've already eaten tonight, thanks. And I'm hoping
you shall be more interesting alive. Now it's your turn," he told
Henry.
?
"Vampires can't be real," Leti said shaking her
head in negation.
?
Then again Rena said the same of time travel
but...And yet still... She stared at Oliver wordlessly.
?
"My family is aware of vampires. Some are their
friends. More my parents and my uncle, but yeah they are real," Rena told Henry
and Leti.
?
"You are aware...Now that is a surprise but at
least not the thing you have to tell me or none of you would've been surprised,"
Oliver said.
?
"But is that how you made me forget what you said
to me,"Leti asked and Oliver nodded.
?
"You drank my blood?"
?
He shook his head. "Merely made eye contact and
made a suggestion," he assured.
?
?
I'm friends with the monster that's under my
bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my
head.
