Mysteries Around Him

Later that night, my mind is still reeling from what I saw in history class. I’m not necessarily one who thinks vampires once roamed this earth, and could possibly still be doing so, but the photos of the ring and what appeared to be a River look-alike were uncanny and sent a shiver down my spine.


I’ve been telling myself since I left class that there must be some sort of explanation for all of this. There has to be, right? I highly doubt that River would be a vampire in disguise and has been lying to everyone about who he truly is. The idea is just insane and totally unlikely.


Despite everything, I need to ask River about it. I just know it’ll eat away at me until I hear him say it’s nothing and that he’s not a vampire. Yes, I’ve been avoiding him for the past few days, and there is a good chance I might not run into him again, but I still need to ask him.
