The Vampire's Tribute
“Emotions are a distraction. Every vampire feels the same. We have no feelings and no need for them. We only lust for blood.”
Rose’s eyes went a bit sad, like she pitied me in this moment.
“You can’t feel love?” she asked.
“I don’t need love,” I corrected. “Once a vampire falls in love with someone, that love becomes their fatal weakness.”
She blinked, surprised, and for a moment, I regretted revealing that to her. But soon, I decided that it didn’t matter if she knew or not. Who was she but my weak mortal pet? She could so easily be disposed of if need be.
