If That Friend Was a Vampire

It is a creepy one, I will say. I know I have seen several movies on vampires and when it comes to knowing what they can do, I guess I have some level of knowledge. At least everyone who has watched quite some movies around that theme would also have this knowledge. But saying that a friend of mine reveals to being a vampire?

My imagination among the many I have had concerning vampires never took me down that lane. I have imagined what it meant to be a vampire; being cold blooded, the detest and fear of the sun, the super long canines, the blood thirst, the super ability and a lot more that encapsulates the vampire character or person. Watching some of the movies could be the reason.

From all perceptions we have gained from these movies; since the most knowledge about the vampires we have had stemmed from movies and series, they are beings to be feared and dreaded, unwelcome and ones to stay far away from. All of a sudden, after such knowledge and perception, my friend is revealed as a living, moving one.

In all honesty, it won't be an easy thing to take. This is not something one should find on any day. For more reasons, vampires are said to be either extinct or non-existent in the first place. Finding out something like that would raise a concern within me, that's after the shock and the fact that I might have ran instantly for my dear life the moment I realised.

There is one thing they feed on; blood, right. And here I am, with just what that friend needs. From what we have seen, there is this insatiable thirst for blood and that is something of concern to me. So, as of first resort, I won't be getting around that friend. Staying away and observing could be the right call.

About informing others, I don't think I will be doing that, not yet at least. If this revelation about the friend being a vampire comes from themself, I think I will appreciate the honesty, sincerity and openness to me. Come to think of it, since this person is a vampire, they could just lure me somewhere and pounce on me. But coming open to me about this might suggest something more.

However, we never can tell. The lives of others beyond mine matters as well. That is where I would have issues with keeping quiet. What if others become a victim of this person's canines? Had there not been others that were victims already? These questions and more are what would go on in my mind, as I try to absorb the shock and balance the concern for my friend and the lives of others who might be victims.

Here's it, summoning courage, I would confront this friend. I would try to know how it started, what caused it and what has happened as a result of this nature? How many are they and how they survive? I have seen from “Twilight” how some clans who refused to take human blood survived on animals. Maybe that could be possible for my friend.

Otherwise, someone might have to know for the sake of the lives of others. But then, news or information like this could get people and a whole society destabilised in fear, confusion and doubts. Everyone can become a suspect, and we might become what to fear rather what we fear. So, I don't know.

Thank you!

Finding out a friend of yours is vampire is a news not everyone can handle and it might result to the end of the friendship.

Seriously. It could result to that indeed.
Thank you.

and you guys have been friends all along and he never ate you even at night when you slept off, will you betray your friendship now that he opened up to you

I don't think you read me well.

If this revelation about the friend being a vampire comes from themself, I think I will appreciate the honesty, sincerity and openness to me.

Eggxactly my point...... For such person to consider me as a friend and went ahead to trust me with such a heavy secret, I would really appreciate that.
That alone will keep me in place not to make any rash decision knowing fully well that such person could have proven it to me by biting the hell out of my life, lol than sitting me down to have a tete-a-tete.
Honestly I also can't fully tell what I would do which will guarantee my safety and that of others. Just hoping such a thing never happens.

...knowing fully well that such person could have proven it to me by biting the hell out of my life, lol than sitting me down to have a tete-a-tete.

Lol. But yeah, that's a valid one. They could just invite me to the bush and it will be a journey of no return. But telling will mean something more.

Yes, what we would do, that we can't be sure. May that situation never happen oo.

Thank you for the wonderful comment.

Eggxactly 😂......it really shows just how open such friend is with you

Amennnnnn 🙏..... you're welcome bro.

It only takes a high level of trust to confide in a friend that you are a vampire

Seriously, it takes a lot. And how to deal with such situation could be the issue.

Yes dear but that is all left to our imagination
