Waking Up Dead Chapter 4: Information for Life

What if you are a vampire?

What was she saying? Me a-a...Vampire?? It's not true...I know its not. But, now looking at her, I can tell she was not pulling my leg. She thinks I'm a vampire.

"I can't be a vampire. I have no fangs, see?" I said pointing at my canine teeth.

"Well, true vampires use their sharp nails to give a slight tear in the arm or leg and then suck the blood out. Basically no fangs." Fallon explained simply.

"Why would you think I was a vampire though?!" I yelled, louder than I should have.

"I don't think, I know." she said, crossing her arms.

"How would you know though? You said no one could tell unless I proved it to them...AND I still don't think I'm a vampire." I said, crossing my arms.

"Because I made you into a vampire." she purred.

"Well you have no proof that you did." I replied sternly.

"Yes I do."

"And what is that?"

"You're not dead."

That stopped me. I completely forgotten that I wasn't dead. And she said she took me to this place. But what was the most scary, was that I only had a fraction of my memory left. I could barely remember my family now.

"And with your silence, I prove my point." Fallon said, standing up.

"I can't remember them." I muttered, so she wouldn't hear me. But she did.

"That happens after you become a vampire. Your thoughts remain on the future, never the past. To put it simple, vampires are...distracted easily."

I looked up at her now. She was standing with her arms crossed, as if waiting for me to say or do something.

"How did you turn me into a vampire, without me knowing?" I asked.

She uncrossed her arms and held her hands to my face. "When you were just about to die, I cut your finger tips and did the same with mine. After that I pressed our two together and my cold blood rushed into your warm blood. That was the transformation."

"That means your a vampire then. Why aren't I blood thirsty though?" I asked.

"You are. But you don't know it yet. It's kinda like puberty, you can only guess when your hungry. But later on you can feel the signs that you need blood." she explained.

"What are the signs?"

"Mostly that you feel tired. Sometimes your senses are messed up." she said, walking around the room a little.

"Do I have to drink human blood? What about animals?" I asked, shifting around in the bed.

"You can drink animals, just not cats. They're poison to vampires."

"So...Do vampires live forever?"

"Sadly, yes. That's why I only would turn you into a vampire if you were dying....It's also the law." she explained.

"Law??"

She sighed. "This is going to take a while..."

"You can explain it to me another time, if you want."

"Alright. I'll go get you some blood then. Your nails haven't grown in yet, so you would only be in the way." She said, heading for the door.

"Ok...Wait!"

"What?"

"Does the sun effect me?" I asked.

"You have to find that out on your own." she teased, then she winked.
