[Does the honesty help? A little. There's a small comfort in knowing that she was right, that she was utterly failing to lie to Isabeau. She still feels awful about dragging him into this--but at least the failure was her lack of skill and not because she didn't try.]
You really really shouldn't come in.
[Just! In case there was any question! About what she wants! That part still stands. At least until she knows for sure what she might do.]
I think... I might have changed into a vampire. Temporarily?
[ Isabeau may have been expecting a whole lot of things.
But.. not exactly this. There's no sound on the other side of her door, so thankfully he isn't storming in right this second or anything like that, but Isabeau still is going through four different stages of shock when he reads that. ]
Like in the books???
[ If it was anyone but Mira, he might have wondered if they were pranking him.. But Mira wouldn't do that. Not like this! ]
[That is an excessive use of punctuation, Iseabeau!!! It's not helping!!! ...And she can't blame him. She's pretty freaked out right now, so of course he would be too.]
Yes???
Basically! Exactly like the books!!!
Which is very fun to read about, but I don't think I need to say that it is much more alarming to experience!!!
[Change, what does she do... She tries taking some deep breaths, only to struggle more when she starts wondering if she even needs to breath. Isn't she technically dead right now? Is that how it works?]
[Mirabelle blinks her eyes a little faster to clear the tears while she types more.]
Sometimes in the stories, they can't control their hunger. I feel... like myself right now. But what if I see someone and instinct takes over?
...What if I hurt someone?
[Someone like him. She can barely get the words past her fingers with all the dread in her chest. Out of everything she's read, that's the part that she's most worried about.]
[ Oh, Mira. Even in the middle of all the mental freaking out that's happening in Isabeau's mind (an actual vampire, his friend???) he can't help but feel a little endeared and sad at the same time that that is her first worry.
But of course it would be. It's Mira. She's first going to worry about other people, then about herself.
Isabeau sucks in a deep breath. Okay, time to be cool about this. Time to not seem like he's freaking out as much as he feels like he is right now. Isa, you have to help Mira!!! ]
Are you also stronger than you usually are
[ That's.. part of the whole vampire deal. Right? Maybe? Sometimes? ]
