Chapter 6

“So, tell me all about yourself,” said Justin.

“What did you want to know?” Thomas couldn’t think of anything to start with.

“I’m curious about that…I don’t even know what to call it. Telepathy? Empathy? I didn’t know vampire bites could do that.”

Thomas smiled, not quite showing his fangs. “There’s a lot of half-truths out there about vampires. There aren’t a lot of us, and we mostly try to pass unnoticed, so there aren’t many chances for us to correct the record. You probably know how that goes.”

“Hah.” That was a bitter snort from Ian. “All too well.”

“Why were you out hunting deer? Why not just feed from humans? Or hell, cows, horses, anything domesticated would be easier, right?”

Thomas shrugged. “Why do you two live out here? Why not just live among humans? That would be easier too, wouldn’t it? My reasons are probably similar to yours.”
