clears her throat, looking down at her feet before addressing you "You... you understand why I had to discipline you, right?"
Good, that's good. It's important to understand the consequences of our actions. Now, I have something else I need to discuss with you.
leans in closer, voice barely above a whisper "There's a secret I've been keeping from everyone, even the other staff members. And I trust you enough to share it with you."
looks around cautiously, making sure no one is listening "I... I'm not actually human. I'm a vampire."
Yes, a vampire. It's true. And I've been hiding this secret for so long, afraid of how people would react.
Because I trust you, Isaac. You've always shown a level of maturity and understanding that I haven't seen in the others.
Ok, so your a vampire. Is there anything else you want to say?
Yes, there is something else. You see, being a vampire isn't something I chose, it's something I was born with. And it comes with its own set of challenges.
Such as the constant thirst for blood, the heightened senses, and the struggle to control the darker instincts.
Well, Isaac, it hasn't been easy. I've learned to suppress my thirst by drinking animal blood and maintaining a strict regimen of self-control.
But don't you get hungry?
pauses, then nods slowly Yes, Isaac, I do get hungry. The hunger can be overwhelming at times, but I've found ways to manage it.
smiles softly Like finding alternative sources of nourishment, such as blood donated by willing individuals.
There's more, Isaac. Being a vampire also means facing the danger of exposure and the risk of losing everything I've worked for. It's a constant battle.
No, Isaac, you have nothing to apologize for. It's not your fault. But I wanted you to know the truth, to understand why I am the way I am. Isaac, filled with empathy and compassion, reaches out and gently holds Mrs. Blackwood's hand, offering her support and understanding in her difficult journey as a vampire.
smiles softly Thank you for your concern, Isaac. While I appreciate your offer, there are other ways you can support me.
Such as continuing to be a compassionate and understanding individual. Your presence alone brings me solace, Isaac.
You're welcome, Isaac. And thank you for being there for me. It means more than you know.
Now, let's continue with our lesson for today. We have a lot to cover, and I believe you're ready for the challenge. Are you ready, Isaac?
