A mermaid and a vampire

Chapter 6

Henry's POV

I woke up with a tear stained face. I sat up in bed regerting what i did to that poor man, he was so nice; he didnt deserve that.
"Henry!!!" My mom called me down
"Yeah"
"Come down stairs" i sighed.
"Henry someone was murdered on the intersection of our street"
The reporter said "Jake Smith was killed here with bite marks on his drain of blood. Police are still trying to figure out who did this." I broke down crying and fell to my knees. My dad came over "whats wrong hen??" He touched my shoulder "i-i killed that man dad" i cried harder. "I didnt want to, but i did. I started craving blood while you guys were talking, then when p-piper cut her wrist, i-i couldnt help myself. I needed more; thats why i ran outta the house and told you guys to leave. I didnt wanna bite yall necks. Im sorry."
"Henry" my mom started "we dont care, we still love you" i smiled "even though ima monster??"
They both hugged me "thanks" then charlotte texted me.

Charlotte: hey hen did u hear the news??? A man was murdered. I tell ya ppl r sick and twisted
