180 Not everything is as it seems

Melanie stared at Simon, his question heavily weighing around her neck as if one word would decide if she would be killed or if she would continue to live. Simon started to walk towards her, reducing the distance between them before he stood right in front of her. 

"Why didn't you tell them what I really am?" he questioned her. His bright green eyes staring into her black ones. 

It took a moment for Melanie to stand her ground, and she replied, "You had saved my life, and I repaid it by saving yours. It was nothing more or less than that."

"So you wanted to repay your debt. Was it unbearable for you to know that a vampire saved you?" Simon's questions continued. 

"What are you doing here?" she questioned him back.
