Hate

We were silent for a moment, “So you get energy from light?”
I nodded, “Yep, the Vampires actually call me Nu Fænchi, it means ‘the light.’”
“hm,” he said thoughtfully, “And we call the Vampires mortalon, darkness.” I chuckled, thinking of my relationship with Davin, “I know, ironic isn’t it?”
He looked confused and I realized he didn’t know about me and Davincent. I carefully measured out the distance to the door before I told him, “Well, I suppose I should tell you. I’m kind of dating a Vampire.”
Ha, dating. What an understatement.
He started shaking, a moment later, he had jumped at me, yowling in fury. I was already out the door, slamming and locking it behind me. I waited for him to stop slamming into the door, trying to barge it open.
Silent tears fell down my face. What horrendous force was this? That turned sister against brother, that made one want to kill another for something as innocent as love?
Hatred is the most lethal weapon of all.
