I couldn't comprehend how I was seeing who I was seeing exiting my cave, but it was definitely who I saw. Nikita. Did she just stumble upon it looking for me at my house? Should I walk up to her now? What do I do?! I had no idea at that point so I stayed hidden to see what else she was up to.

I asked jokingly to try and lighten up the mood a bit? She half smiled while waiting for answers. "Yesterday was so bizarre I was trying to forget it, sorry. What is bothering you the most," I asked her. "Seriously? Let's start with you, Shelley's statements...I could go on if you'd like, Meredith!" "I understand babe, I do. Let's figure out what to do, ok?" "Ok," she answered.

A month ago I ate for the last time. There hasn't been anyone worthwhile since. I refuse to kill just to eat, so I wait for the right human to come along. I never want to take a politician, for instance. They taste like that one nasty nut you randomly eat in the jar, spoils everything. The taste lingers no matter what you try to do to remove it. Rotten from the inside out most of them. I also refuse to make them immortal.

The taste of her blood was intoxicating, making my body shiver. In the heat of the moment, while in starvation, it can become impossible to control my emotions. I hadn't ate in over a year, then all of this. I was beginning to turn into everything I hated without control, but what other choice did I have?
