Hesitates and he stutters what do you want
looks at the wound on my arm and sees that its healing you're a vampire
"yep!.. Can't you tell..? Or touch...?" I say a little frustrated as I reveal my hands with white tipped fingers.
Touching you would be a mistake that I am not willing to make. What do you want vampire
I'm more human than monster!... "I want to help you!!"
Why do you care if I live or die
"Just don't want someone else to get hurt while helping you." I said trying to sound confident, my vampire traits never been a problem to me till now.
How can I trust you will not turn me into dinner
I grab his shoulder and examine the wound. "So your worried I might eat you?!... It's just a cut dude.." I look up at him with worry.
Just because it looks like a cut does not mean that it is not deadly. Many of the injuries that I sustain can not be seen by the naked eye.
looking back at him with deep thought then decide. "I have something that can heal you!" A smile formed.
my eyes light up and I breathe out a sigh of relief Please tell me that you have holy water
"no..... It's something better....." My lips curved into a smirk.
I put my hand over his eyes and he soon smell the lavender scent.
What sorcery is this. My eyes are closed and yet I feel as though I still see
"oh honey it's not sorcery, it's just lavender syrup." I smiled as he relaxed slowly.
Your explanation does not change the fact that I am lying here in pain and unable to open my eyes
After a while he finally relaxed fully then I removed my hand from his eyes.
The pain is gone and I can see. How did you manage to pull off such a trick
"Well I used Lavender syrup which always has a soothing effect, plus the calming smell helps reduce anxiety and stress. Also, whenever there's pain, lavender helps ease it."
That's incredible. I have heard of lavender helping to calm anxiety but never healing physical wounds. How did you discover this use for lavender
"It was passed down from my mother, she always knew about these things. She used lavender syrup to calm my anxiety when I was a kid!"
I didn't know that lavender could be used for healing wounds or calming anxiety. Your mother must have been incredibly wise.
"She was very wise indeed, and because of her wisdom I keep passing down such knowledge."
I have one final question
Why are you doing this for me? I am a stranger to you. Why do you care if I live or die
"Because even though we are strangers, doesn't mean I can't care for you. And also...." I said looking down. "I'm still human too.."
You are human... and vampires. Can you explain how that works?
I tilt my head a little. "What do you mean by that?"
Are you saying that you are both human and vampire at the same time
That defies all logic. How can you be both at the same time.
I sighed softly and took a moment to think about what I was about to say. "Well, it might be hard to believe but..." I looked up into his eyes then speak softly yet confidently. "The truth is that I'm just another type of vampire that has traits from both sides."
"Well, I don't really bite." I said with sheepish smile.
So you are saying that you are a vampire but you do not drink blood like other vampires?
"Well, I only drink animal blood so yeah.."
You drink animal blood instead of human blood? Is that why you do not attack humans
