Deon the Vampire

Excerpt of fiction novel translated from Mexican Spanish to American English:

My first love wasn’t the beautiful experience I hope yours will be, but it was love, nonetheless. We shouldn’t regret love, sweetheart, it is ours, the experiences, and the memories. People are just the vessel into which we put that love, and when they leave, we get that love back and, for better or worse, we offer it again. Be wise in choosing, my dear Adara.

............

I was really all alone for the first time in this second life, completely alone to live forever, a meaningless life without any purpose. And I lived like that for so long, alone, until I got used to it, or so I thought.

That’s who I am, Adara, this monster, demon or whatever you want to call me, but you can believe me when I say that I will never hurt you, that was never my intention. I will always protect you.

I still don’t have your response. This is my last letter, Adara, I’ll always take care of you. If you want to know anything about me, let me know.
