Sleep Song:  Where do I even begin?  Well, let's start with the basics:  Meet Aerin Vanderhill.  Aerin is a beauty to look upon, tall and slender, with long gorgeous hair.  Beautiful voice.  Feminine.  Full of grace.  Uses that voice to make cash.  And also to hypnotize people into unconsciousness because Aerin is also a vampire. 

Aerin is actually a very good vampire.  Gentle.  Had the idea to get a whole lot of syringes and then put it in a bottle; so even though Aerin is 75 years old, and been a vampire for a long time, the fangs have never been inserted in a neck before.  First taste of blood was from an IV bag when Aerin woke up in a hospital.  Then oops, here comes the sun.  But Aerin also had a disease where sunlight was already poisonous, so it wasn't that hard to work around.  Like Aerin said in the last of this story, "I was born sick."

Now, how do people feel about Aerin?  Well, Aerin is a classic introvert, so most people don't think anything.  Usually, Aerin is met with sweetness, as they are taken in by all that sweet charm and gentle nature; but every once in awhile, somebody really gets pissed off at Aerin when they want a date, and Aerin brushes them off.  The answer always takes them off guard:  "I'm a man."  https://youtu.be/u27jvRquHMo

Let's be honest folks.  People can be cruel.  If you're ugly, you're picked on.  If you are beautiful, you're picked on.  If you are different, you are picked on.  It's nice to have a network of friends to get you through hard times.  Aerin had himself a sweet little counselor who turned into a best friend.  But 75?  He was all alone.  They say that age brings wisdom.  I disagree.  More like life brings experience.  Aerin hid for a long time in his home behind his video games, never coming out except to feed.  Then one night, after a moment of feeding, Aerin is followed.  A flash of light while he's swimming naked in a pool is his only moment of notice, and odd feelings.

Now, who was following Aerin Vanderhill home?  His name was Sebastian.  A werewolf.  A vampire hunting werewolf to be exact.  He intended to kill Aerin the moment he killed to feed, but seeing how he never hurt anyone...  Unfortunately for Aerin, Sebastian has been alive for hundreds of years and developed some severe PTSD at the hands of vampires and their maltreatment.  Aerin is a unique anomaly, unsuccumbed  to blood lust.  It takes Sebastian a long time to get to trust Aerin, to see past what he is, and see who he is.

READERS BE WARNED:  This story was written of a survivor of abuse.  There are shadows of dark life experiences around every corner, giving very vivid detail of every tear, both from the eyes and the heart; but redemption is eventually found. 

XXX STORY!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!  This story has lots of fluff.  Eventually.  Aerin has a habit of breaking out into song when he's happy to the point that it's cheesy.  I have to tell you though, there are two kinds of readers that love their fluff.  One prefers the kind that leaves a little to the imagination, and one, as one published author and wattpadder put it, "Write a book with lots of semen.  I love a story with lots of semen."  Aerin does a fairly good job of trying to warn a reader "this chapter has a lemon...so skim carefully?"

Now, of all the things that I have said, what is there left to say?  OH MY GOSH!! LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS!  If you think I have given away absolutely every spoiler that could possibly be in this story, the answer is NO NO NO!  ABSOLUTELY NOT! THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF SURPRISES LEFT!  And a very happy ending....eventually.
