London's night is as dark as ink, thick clouds obscure the starlight, leaving only the dim street lights on both sides of the street, adding a touch of mystery and loneliness to this ancient city. In this endless night, Erika sits alone on a deserted church bench, her eyes unfocused, as if searching for something.
"Erika, why are you always so melancholic?" a voice breaks the silence of the night, it's James, Erika's friend and fellow vampire. He gracefully lands on the other end of the bench, his silver hair fluttering in the night breeze.
Erika lets out a soft sigh and looks at James: "James, I often feel confused. Should we really continue living like this? Hunting in the darkness, endlessly pursuing the nourishment of blood."
James gave a faint smile, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness: "Erika, this is our fate, and also our curse. As vampires, we have no choice."
"But we can choose how to face this curse," Erika countered, "perhaps we can find a way to sustain our lives while minimizing harm to other lives."
James fell silent for a moment, seemingly pondering Erika's words. "Your idea is beautiful, but it's not easy to implement. Our power comes from blood, and that cannot be changed."
"But we can try to control ourselves and reduce the killing," Erika insisted.
"Erika, you are too naive," James shook his head. "In this dog-eat-dog world, if we are not strong, we will be eliminated. Moreover, human fear and hatred towards us are deeply rooted. They will not accept our change."
Erika took a deep breath and looked towards the distant horizon. "Perhaps you are right, but I still cannot accept this reality. Every time I see innocent lives perish because of us, my heart feels like it's being cut with a knife."
James gently patted Erika's shoulder, " Erika, I understand your pain. But we must learn to accept our identity and destiny. Only then can we survive in this cruel world."
Erika closed her eyes, tears welling up, "I know, but I just can't do it."
Just then, a hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night. Erika and James both looked up alertly, and saw a figure stumbling into the church. It was a young human woman, pale and terrified.
"Help... help!" The woman gasped, pleading for help in a trembling voice.
Erika immediately stood up and walked towards the woman. "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
The woman looked up and saw the unusual appearance of Erika and James, and she trembled in fear. "You... are you vampires?"
Erika nodded, trying to make her tone as gentle as possible: "Yes, but please believe us, we won't hurt you."
The woman seemed to relax a little, but still remained cautious: "Why are you here?"
Erika hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the woman the truth: "We are here to seek a possible change. We don't want to continue harming innocent lives, but we also can't escape our own identities and destinies."
The woman fell silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "I... I believe you. I know there are many myths and misunderstandings about vampires in this world, but I also believe that every life has its value and meaning."
Erika was deeply moved by the woman's words, "Thank you, your trust means a lot to us."
Just then, a commotion could be heard outside the church. Erika and James immediately stood up alert, ready to face any potential danger.
"It's a human hunter!" James whispered, "We must leave immediately."
Erika nodded and turned to the woman, saying, "I'm sorry, but we have to go. But please remember, there are always people in this world striving to make a change possible."
The woman nodded, her eyes shining with determination. "I will remember. Good luck to you."
Erika and James quickly left the church and disappeared into the night. They knew that the road ahead was still full of unknowns and dangers, but they also believed that as long as there was light in their hearts, there was hope to find a path to brightness.
Meanwhile, the young woman silently prayed in her heart, hoping that all lives in the world could be respected and redeemed.
As the night deepened, the streets of London returned to calm. But in this endless darkness, there were always some people silently seeking light and hope. Whether they were vampires or humans, they longed to break free from constraints and pain, and find their own belonging.
