Pages from Vampira Luna

It had been years sense I had last seen him. However, that didn't stop me from recognizing him instantly. Frankly he is one of the few people I've met in my long years who moved me. Someone you can never forget, no matter the time or distance. He felt me before I saw him, I could feel him searching. Though when he finally saw me, half hidden behind this dirty phone booth, it was as if he had seen a living ghost. Ha, ghost indeed. To him that's exactly what I am. A memory, sad and painful, that was probably locked away in the dark corners of his mind. Something not to remember....something to hard to forget.

I wasn't going to speak to him. After all, he thought I was dead. I presumed he would stop for a moment, do a double take, and then walk on. Go about his normal day thinking only that some passing stranger reminded him of that girl he had know so long ago. But to my surprise as I walked away I heard a voice call out, " Luna....Luna is that you?" My breath caught in my chest, my blood started to race. Damn him...damn him to hell. I thought about not turning around, about just disappearing as my kind can do so well. Yet I didn't. I slowly turned and looked into those same dark brown eyes, so full of emotion.

We stared blankly at each other for what seemed like forever. I knew what he was going to say, what he would ask me. And I knew I could never tell him the truth. How do you explain that you disappear by crashing your car so you could die, only you can't die so you never really killed yourself. You just ran away because you had to. Because of him. How do you tell someone you once loved that you could kill them and they would never have a chance? I didn't know what to say to him. Clearly he was experiencing the same problem. Never had I known him to not have something to say. But now here we were, just staring that the ghosts of our past. As if somehow time had flipped and the world no longer made any sense.

Without thinking I smiled at him, showing my pointed fangs, and said, "Good evening David, It's good to see you."
