Chapter 14 - Revelation
Cassian Hamilton
Good morning, Summer.
Finding myself walking into the dining hall per usual, I smiled brightly at the three men sitting at the table that I discovered were vampires only a few hours ago.
Summer Centianne
Good morning!
Matthias Wind
You seem tired, dear.
Summer Centianne
I do? I spent the night reading...
Cassian went to say something when I put up my hands, giving up.
Summer Centianne
I know that it will hurt my eyes but I couldn't put it down! It was a masterpiece of literature!
Cassian Hamilton
Well, come and sit down and eat your pancakes.
Cassian Hamilton
After that, I've got something important to tell you.
Is he going to tell me that he's a vampire?
The coincidence is almost deliberate.
Summer Centianne
But I wanted to open my birthday presents today...
Cassian Hamilton
Well, why don't we do that after breakfast.
Matthias Wind
Cass... you're delaying it again.
Cassian Hamilton
It's just for the morning. There are 24 hours in a day.
Cassian Hamilton
Besides, I doubt that anything will change if we leave it until later.
Summer Centianne
Do you have something to tell me?
Cassian Hamilton
Yes, but-
Summer Centianne
If it's important, I'll listen!
I sat down on the table, my heart beating faster than usual.
Kyran looked up at me and frowned.
Kyran Brookes
You're nervous.
Summer Centianne
Obviously! I don't know what you guys are about to tell me!
Kyran Brookes
No, you've been nervous ever since you've entered the room.
Kyran Brookes
Your heart rate gave it away.
Hold on, vampires can monitor your heart rate?
Cassian Hamilton
What are you nervous about, Summer?
Matthias Wind
Cliff told you, didn't he?
Summer Centianne
Told me what?
I'll keep on playing dumb.
Matthias Wind
About us. About our kind.
Summer Centianne
I'm not sure what you're talking about! You've got to tell me.
The room went silent as Cassian sighed and got up, walking towards me.
Kneeling down, he took my hand into his hands and sandwiched then between both palms.
Calm yourself... Cassian would never hurt you!
Cassian Hamilton
Summer, there is something that we've got to tell you.
Summer Centianne
If its about you guys being vampires, I'm fine with it.
Their eyes all opened wide.
Cassian Hamilton
Did Cliff tell you, then?
I smiled brightly, per usual.
Keep up the act... it's all okay.
Summer Centianne
He didn't know me. I suspected it when I realised that you weren't ageing.
Summer Centianne
Not only that but you never get sick and despite being a big manor, and the only servants we have are spirits.
Spirits are something that a mage can conjure on your property to aide with household chores.
They cost a fortune and only last for two years, so only those who prefer isolation get them.
Cassian Hamilton
B-But don't you have questions?
Cassian Hamilton
Concerns?
Summer Centianne
Why should I be concerned?
Summer Centianne
Just because I know that you guys are vampires doesn't mean that your actions will change around me.
Summer Centianne
So I'm not scared.
My human instincts are telling me to run away from these three men, predators that they are.
But my heart is telling me that they are still the same men that almost raised me up.
