“Confront your father? What do you mean?”
“I’ve never talked to you about this before, but I’ve never actually spoken to my father.”
“What?” Hil said confused and horrified.
“Yeah. It’s kind of a painful topic, so I’ve always avoided it.”
Hil looked dumbfounded. “When did you confront him?”
“Last night.”
“We talked on the phone. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because your father had just died.”
“You could have still told me. Confronting your father is a big deal.”
“Yeah. It’s even bigger when you add that the man I thought was my father was just a vampire who compelled my mother into believing she was pregnant and that I’ve seemed to develop powers.”
Hil mouth dropped open.
“What powers do you have?”
I looked at Hil wondering how I could explain it.
“I can tell you’re a wolf.”
Hil looked around to make sure no one was listening. “But you know I’m a wolf.”
“I know it. But now I can see it.”
“What do you mean?”
I paused and concentrated on Hil.
“When I squint, I see you, but I can also see a wolf made of light that’s standing where you are.”
“Like, on top of me.”
“It’s like you two are standing in the same spot.”
“Okay. Have you seen this with other people?”
“I saw it with my father… or, the man I thought was my father. But for him it was different. In your case, you are the real image and your wolf is the light casting. In his case, the person everyone saw was the light casting, and the creature within it was the real him.”
“And you think he was a vampire?”
“I’m sure he was.”
“How?”
“I just know.”
“And he told you that he compelled your mother to believe she was pregnant? Why would he do that?”
“He said he did it because his masters told him to,” I said ominously.
“Well, that’s disturbing.”
