Chapter 5: Clothes?!

At around midnight or so I had calmed down. I thanked Rob for what he did and he left. There's a part of me that wants to believe what he told me was true, but another is telling me not to.

I know I feel my mother's presence around me. But I didn't know she was around so much, and I didn't know all of what he had told me.

It was storming when I was getting ready to leave for work and when I looked at my car in the driveway... I knew there was absolutely no way it was making it there.

So I had to call and tell my manager my car was stuck in the mud in my driveway. Just in case he needed proof, I sent pictures too, because I'm a bitch like that. He did end up letting me off but I had to work another extra shift. Eh oh well.

Dear diary,

After yesterday I just want to curl up in a ball and... honestly I don't know... stay there for days. To make things worse, it's storming outside! I hate storms, and I always have.

I couldn't finish writing because I heard whimpering outside my door. I smiled for the first time since yesterday and got up to open the door.

When I did, I was met with my one true friend. SNOWY! Well, he wasn't to snowy at the moment, he was covered in dirt and soaking wet.

"Oh Snowy, hold on bud, stay there" I say, going to grab a towel. "Uh, I told you to stay!" I fuss, when I see paw prints on my floor. "Snowy!" He was shaking, I couldn't help but feel bad.

So I dried him off and lay a warm blanket over him. Soon enough he warms up- finally stop shaking- and falls asleep. It was so adorable I couldn't help but smile.

But, Snowy still doesn't know my secret. Nobody does... except my mom who is always around apparently. I can't tell anyone, our kind is dangerous. If word gets out one exists... well, let's just say... we'll go extinct again. We've all been forced to go into hiding and I'm the only one here, that I'm aware of. It's to risky for vampires to be around here, people here could figure it out in no time.

While Snowy is asleep, I take that opportunity to sneak out my bedroom window. I needed to eat, and I needed to eat now. It's been days since I've had blood. Usually I drink from blood bags from hospitals, but I haven't gotten any. My strength is down, which means I'm weak. If someone comes at me, I won't stand a chance against them.

I saw the perfect target, I had been hiding behind behind a tree, stalking my prey, just waiting for the right time. Just as I was about to go in for the attack I hear whimpering beside me.

"Snowy?!" I whisper yell. "What the hell are you doing here?" He puts his head in my hand and I pet it. "Go on back to my place, I'll be there in a few minutes" He takes off, but when I try to catch sight of my earlier prey... she was gone. Great. I sigh and head back to my house.

"Rob!" I yell as I get home, slamming my front door shut. "Yes?" "You have to stop following me" "I'm sorry" "It's ok, but just stop" "Alright" He says.

"Oh my God! Where are your clothes?!" "When we turn, we don't have clothes on afterwards" I cover my eyes and he laughs, leaving the house.
