Vampire Hunter (A Twilight Story) - Season 1 - Episode 61

I wanted someone to pay but for some reason I couldn’t punish those responsible. I ran to a tree and slammed my fist into it with every ounce of strength I had. It ripped cleanly in half and shot across the lake smashing into a tree on the other side, taking it down. How could they do this to me! I continued to rip apart trees and a few boulders for a while longer. Felix watched silently as I had my little tantrum, probably realizing that getting in my way at the moment is not the best idea. Eventually I fell down on my knees, my nails digging into the soft dirt by the waters edge, as sob left my throat.
Felix came to my side. “What is it?” he asked. He seemed to be generally concerned. He attempted to catch my eye without success.
“I’m no longer me. I’m a…a…” I couldn’t get the words out but monster, demon and abomination came to mind. I didn’t know who I was anymore, I felt lost and incredibly empty. We were both silent for a few minutes as I continued to cry tearless sobs and I could see Felix in my peripheral vision struggling to think of something to say. I had a feeling he was not used to having such conversations with someone. Eventually as small smile appeared on his face and put his hand on my shoulder.

“Anna, you may be a vampire now but deep down you’re still the same person you always were. It just takes time to adjust but it will get easier. I promise.” After he said this I felt a little numb. It was the first time someone had said out loud what I was and I didn’t know what to say. Vampire…vampire…vampire. I kept chanting that in my head and somehow hearing it made it more real…more frightening. I just nodded, my voice incapable of speech. While he believed his own words I could not see this getting better, how could it? “We should get back.” He suddenly said and got to his feet. He held out his hand and I took it as he helped me up. I didn’t physically need the help but emotionally I felt like a wreck.
I seemed incapable of smiling so I just quietly said, “Thanks.” I sounded dead and unbelievably sad, which is what I was. Felix looked at me concerned but led the way out of the clearing.
