Blood and Chocolate Page #4

you are dead to it.

l got it. l got it.

How's an American girl

end up in Romania anyhow?

l was born here

in a community of expatriates from all over.

And my parents moved to the States

when l was little,

and then l moved back.

Without your parents?

They died in the States when l was little.

l've lived with my aunt ever since.

-Do you remember them?

-Every day.

My aunt says that they

used to take me to that church all the time.

Do you always act

like you're being watched?

You're not allowed to take a walk

with a handsome starving artist?

Who only puts his initials on his books.

What's he hiding from?

Well, l could tell you,

but l would have to kill you.

So, how's your book coming?

l mean, what's the city taught you?

That the werewolf stories

have got it all wrong.

ln the Ioup-garou legend,

they're not cursed, they're blessed.

Like the moon turning them into wolves.

That's all how it was twisted later.

The Ioup-garous

can change whenever they want.

lt's mind over matter. Transcendence.

You know, they believe they will change,

and in that moment they do.

Can you imagine that?

From a man to a wolf.

-lt sounds beautiful.

-lt is.

Supposedly, you could kill them with silver

but also with fire.

Really?

And you couldn't become one.

You know, be bitten or whatever.

You're either born a Ioup-garou

or you're not.

And in the stories they say that

if you harm a Ioup-garou,

if they bleed, that they show you just

a glimpse of what they really are.

lt's all in the eyes, apparently.

Oh, no, what, this place is closed?

l can't believe it.

They have this fantastic caf on the roof.

Got the best views of the whole city.

Not the whole city.

How about l take you somewhere?

Vivian! This is private property.

Never stopped you before.

l have a great feeling about this.

One of the richest men in the city lives here.

He's an art collector.

This is so much better than the date

l had planned.

When l say run, run.

-You never said run.

-Run.

Now, this is the best view of the whole city.

They're all that's left of Bucharest castle.

Built by the Magyar princes

in the 10th century.

lt was said that the princes' bloodline

was Ioup-garou.

So when the Magyars lost the throne,

it was said that the wolves' reign was over.

How'd you know they were here?

l thought you'd like to see them.

You're full of secrets, aren't you?

Don't you want to draw them or something?

Whenever l'm with you

l get the feeling you're hiding.

My family has plans for me.

Expectations. Where l go, who l'm with.

But your future is your own, isn't it?

Let me tell you something.

My old man was an ex-Army Ranger

and an addict.
