could offer.  A sudden black pit filled my stomach as I sat fully clothed on a rock in the knee deep water.
     
    “You know what I mean... are you always going to be a vampire?” His usual smile was hidden by a cloak of concern.
     
    I shrugged.  “It’s not like I have much choice. I don’t miss being human.  I am better this way, just let it go.” I could feel my anger building up, ready to pour over the top, like lava from a volcano.
     
    “I’m not trying to pry; it’s just that... well... I heard a rumor about a cure.” Trevor said a tentative smile forming on his face, even his voice sounded timid.
     
    “A cure for what?” My voice shook slightly, I wasn’t sick.
     
    “The rumor is that there is a cure for you and those like you... so that you don’t have to be this way. I heard that they can fix it... that they can make you human again.”  Trevor sat down in front of me, reaching his hands out for mine.
     
    I blinked.  Rage started boiling in my chest.  “Fix it?” What the hell was he thinking? “I’m not broken!” I was livid that he had the gall to insinuate that I was broken.  Standing up, water flowed around as I moved away from his touch.
     
    “I didn't mean it that way... I just meant…” Trevor tried.  His voice was higher than normal, as if he was trying to appease a fussy baby.
     
    I knew he was attempting to make things right, but how could he say something like that. There was nothing wrong with me... other than I was developing feelings for him. I clenched my fists involuntarily at my sides.  Even the thought of caring for him made me furious.  I trudged out of the water, my skin hot with anger.  “It funny... you didn’t seem to have an issue with me being a vampire last night...  when you were getting what you wanted,” I hissed as water dripped off of my clothes.  I turned my back on Trevor as he stood.
     
    “I don’t have an issue with it now. I just thought they’d well… I don’t know.”  Trevor said, he was still talking as I walked away from the water.
     
    I couldn’t hear his words through my cloud of anger... and ire for myself.  I walked back to the camp alone, leaving Trevor in the creek. As soon as I got to camp, I found dry clothes and changed.  Plopping down on the log, heat and rage still roiled in my chest.  My wet clothes in a pile on the ground next to the fire pit, my mind was racing.
     
    “I am not broken!”  But... I knew I was.  I wasn't who I used to be... the caring, believing in fairy tales girl.   She was long gone... replaced by this seething monster.  I wonder if Trevor would have even given me the time of day if I was still... me.  “Cure my ass,” I muttered. Only a fucking human would think that, fix whats not broken.  I growled, kicking rocks into the grey ashes from the long gone fire of last night.  Staring at the charred wood, images from the passionate encounter with Trevor invaded my thoughts.  I closed my eyes for a moment, remembering the feel of his hands on my naked skin.  It was enough to calm me... if just for a moment.
     
    A snap in the underbrush nearby signaled that Trevor wasn't too far away.   I could smell his skin before he came into view.  Jumping up, I walked quickly into the woods before he had a chance to see me. I couldn’t bare to be around him right now.
     
    I spent the day walking far from the camp, debating whether or not I should just leave.   As much as I wanted to try, I couldn’t seem to make myself leave. I knew Trevor was still around and I could smell the wood burning where he had built up another fire.  The handsome, idiotic man was still at our camp.  If a human could endure all of this shit, then I could too. 
     
    A slight change in the breeze brought Trevor's scent to my nose.  My stomach grumbled.  Any other human would be dead right now.  I was becoming hungry.   I considered killing him just to get him out of the way and put me out of my
