doing some more research. I think I now know what Anton was – is. The truth is unbelievable but I have to believe it because I’ve liv ed the reality.
He’s a vampire, a real, live blood sucking vampire. He’s not the - can’t go out in the sun or scared of garlic type - that’s just the stuff of horror films. No, Anton is a true vampire. He can live among his own kind or among humans and appear normal. He really is the stuff of nightmares.
I gaze at Marielle and kiss her cheek. I can’t imagine what I’ll tell her and even worse I don’t know how she’ll be when she’s older. There is a type of being, a mix of vampire and human, a crossbreed and she is one of these. The chances are, if we’re lucky, that she’ll be shunned by them and we’ll be left alone.
I look at the house again and whisper goodbye . If he’s there, if he still reads my mind then he’ll know how much I wanted him, how much I once loved him. But that’s all I can give so it will have to do.
I start the car and pull away, I won’t come here again. Dorlan Grange can go to Hell where it belongs and I’ve no intention of ever speaking about the place to my daughter either.
