I've known her since we were children.

He was always behind me.

No matter how hard he tried to push her away, she always found a way to reappear.

-Leave me alone.

-Because?

—Because you bother me.

And sometimes we'd end up fighting. For real. Punches, shoves, shouts... anything to make her back down.

I never understood why he kept coming back.

Until one day he disappeared.

First there were days.

After weeks.

Then months.

Nobody knew where he was.

Over time I stopped asking.

Or so I wanted to believe.

That night I was asleep when a strange sound woke me up.

I opened my eyes slowly.

Something was upon me.

My body tensed up.

She.

I recognized her immediately, but there was something terribly different about her.

Her hair fell around my face, and her eyes shone with an eerie intensity in the darkness. Fresh blood was visible on her cheeks, and her fangs were much longer than I remembered.

I stared at her, not understanding.

-…You?

She bowed her head.

He did not respond.

Her eyes scanned my face as if she were trying to remember something.

I slowly backed away until I was up against the headboard.

—What the hell happened to you?

She approached again.

Instinctively I reached out to her, but I stopped.

She was the same girl I had known all my life.

And at the same time, it wasn't.

"It's me," she finally whispered.

His voice remained the same.

That was what scared me the most.

Because if it really was still her…

Then I wanted to know what had happened during all those months.

And, for the first time in my life, I didn't want her to leave.
