You're impossibly fast, and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change color, and sometimes you speak like – like you're from a different time. You never eat or drink anything. You don't go out in the sunlight. How old are you?

Seventeen.

How long have you been seventeen?

[pause]

A while.

I know what you are.

Say it. Out loud. Say it.

Vampire.

Are you afraid?

No.

Then ask me the most basic question: What do we eat?

You won't hurt me.
