After hearing her say this, one word pops into my head: Vampire. I tried to push the thought aside, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense... why she kept her house dark, why I had only seen her outside late at night, why people would've wanted to hurt her, why I saw her barely eat... everything made sense. But this just made things more confusing. Why had she kept me around? Why hadn't she bitten me and sucked me dry yet? This made me curious, so I decided I would at least allow her to explain herself. I got her a glass, and emptied the bags contents into it. I handed her the glass, without saying a word.
