“Hey, Uncle Harry, what’cha doing?” I asked in a whisper.
“I found a vampire,” he refused to look away from the stump. “The blood sucker is going to die. That’ll teach him for coming onto our lands.”
I could smell the alcohol on his breath.
“Uh, he’s gone. You scared him off,” I murmured, hoping he’d believe me. When he had these delusions that he’d caught a vampire, sometimes it took forever to convince him to leave.
He stood up and puffed out his chest. “He’s scared of the Quileute Protectors. That’s right, run you coward! I’ll find you again!”
Harry looked over and noticed Edward standing off to the side. “Who’s that?” he asked, sizing Edward up.
“Oh, he’s the new human in town,” I said matter of factly with a head shake.
“Nice to meet you, son. Did you know that this gives you immortality?” Harry asked, picking up a mug and handing it to Edward.
