Darkness and Light

"I just don't want anything to happen to you... you're all I have left.." Vampires are unable to shed tears, otherwise your mother would be bawling her eyes out right now. Still, looking at her sad face makes you feel like your unbeating heart is sinking to the pit of your stomach.

"I'll be careful. I'll be fine" You say more gently this time. Somehow, your family seems to have retained more human emotions than most vampires. Looking around to make sure no one was watching, you give your mother a hug.
