“I promised to see her again after I visited her the first time. She seems really nice…”
“That she is kid… that she is.”
It was rare for her to do what she was fixing to do, but she had a hunch about this guy. Rubbing the bridge of her nose, she reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Usually she only had one once a month but… she was feeling it today.
“So how old are you kid?” She asked, conjuring up a small flame with her fingertip to light the cigarette up.
“Sixteen.”
Yawning, the vampire gave his simple answer, and crossed his arms. He was…. always incredibly lazy, and found it to be too much trouble explaining or giving more than a sentence for an answer.
Quite the charmer, huh?
Shimmer took a drag off cigarette, blowing the smoke off to the side with a deep sigh before saying, “Look, I’m gonna be straight with you kid. Savannah is an amazing girl. She’s spontaneous, outgoing and just plain fun to be around. But she’s also very naive in certain things.”
She turned to look at the boy as she tapped her ashes on the ground. “Now, I know she isn’t really one for human interaction, so my guess is that you aren’t human. Because you certainly aren’t giving that vibe off. So what are you? And what your name, by the way?”
