Enemy

The silence in the room was loud and the intensity was palpable as his words registered. The flames from the fireplace cast shadows along the room, but all I could think about was that this had to be a joke. I blinked and turned my head to the side so I could get a better look at him. Beautiful brown eyes turned and stared back, an unyielding truth in them. I shook my head and chuckled. This was absurd.

There was no way Levi was a vampire. It was impossible. If anyone should have known that he was hiding something this big, I would know. No, he couldn’t be a vampire. He couldn’t be anything but what I’ve always known him as. Because if this was true, Levi had been lying to me his entire life. Levi was the one person I had who had never lied to me. He was the one solid thing in my life. He was the one person I could always depend on.

Even during the time we weren’t talking, I knew without a doubt that if I needed to, I could talk to him. What stopped me was the insecure thoughts I had.
