Your Teeth Shine through when you Laugh.
People have started to forget that vampires ever existed because there are so few of them left in the world.
In the time of your great-grandparents, the last few scattered fairies did the same thing.
We are not living in a magical time. And there should have been no vampires at all. Still, some people do. People said that over time, their skills to do things like fly and pull their fangs back got weaker.
I'm the only one who seems to believe. Some people think you're crazy or have a crazy mind. But I've looked into it.
There was a quiet girl at work. Almost entirely silent, in fact. Or at least I had never heard her speak before.
All day, she wore sunglasses. When she went outside, she brought a parasol with her and hid in the shade.
She always got there right on time. You could use her as a timepiece. Always ate the same lunch from a flask while sitting in the farthest corner of the canteen and facing the wall.
I was the only one who seemed to really see her. She would sneak into a busy lift at the last minute and then take up the tiniest bit of room, as quiet as a midnight shadow.
She was unknown. I had to ask the finance department in a sneaky way for her name.
Except for the one time I saw them around her neck for a split second when she needed to scratch her ear, her earplugs seemed to be always on.
Her strange ear. Every time I try to picture it, my mind makes a different picture. It was moving back and forth like a wolf's. Or maybe a bat's. She turned around and saw me standing behind her, but I swear I hadn't made a sound.
She opened her mouth a little. Just a tiny bit of tooth flash. I'm sure they were very sharp, like a small shark's.
I walked up to her slowly and offered my hand.
It turned out she could talk fine. She said, "Sadie." I said I didn't know already. It might have looked creepy.
I told a stupid joke. I was funny all the time. Getting people to laugh at me was all I ever did well.
She let out a small laugh. Still, I couldn't see her teeth very well. It got even worse, so I told another joke that was even worse. She laughed, but her face showed that she was nervous, like she didn't want to say anything about herself.
When I saw cute little human teeth, I couldn't hide my excitement. Not at all sharp.
She said, "I don't usually understand people," and she looked a little upset. "But you're even stranger than I am." She then left me standing there, confused and upset.
Since she didn't go back to work, each day I felt more and more like I had before I met her: like I was the only person in the world.
