PENN

Once the post-feeding high wore off, I was even more confused. My feelings for Cam hadn’t changed. Feeding hadn’t made them stronger, but I couldn’t shake the my suite mates’ questions. I couldn’t wave away the doubts that something supernatural was influencing me.

I paced my dorm room for about twenty minutes, weighing the questions in my mind. Pacing didn’t give me any clarity though, and I knew the obvious solution was to ask Cam. I just couldn’t ignore the bias from any answers he would give me. I needed something unbiased: something factual or even just a more human perspective.

Then the obvious solution hit me.

I needed to address this like a journalist. I had the skills to figure it out. I knew how to ask the right questions, how to research, how to find the answers that I needed. Journalism had been a lifelong dream of mine, and it had taken me this long to realize the obvious solution. Maybe I had some residual post-feeding high. That made me feel better than the thought that I might just be a bit of an idiot.

I sat down at my computer desk and opened a new document on my computer.

I needed to approach this like I would any article. Maybe I’d even make this my next story: Business and Pleasure: The Feelings Factor When Feeding Your concubus Friend. I rolled my eyes at myself. That title was terrible for a newspaper, but it might make a good document title for when I was looking for the research later. I typed it into the header and began drafting out the list of questions I needed answered.

It took an hour before I had the full list of questions in front of me. I read through them and began organizing them into subsections. Some of them were so closely related to questions I’d thought of at the beginning of the exercise that they became sub-questions. By the time I was finished, my brain was quieter than it had been since Ethan put this idea in my head in the first place. I felt like I had control over the questions that had been ricocheting around my head. They were wrangled. They were in front of me.

They were manageable.

I turned on some music and opened up a search window.

There wasn’t a lot of reliable information online. There were think pieces that offered opinions on some of my questions, and I put summaries and links underneath the questions. They weren’t scientific, but most of them were written by humans who had been feeders. They were good resources, but if I were examining them as verifiable sources? I would question the validity.

I marked each of those sections orange, a visual caution sign in my research document. I turned the information from reliable sources, as scarce as it was, green. There was one link I’d found that looked trustworthy, and then I found at least four other articles that contradicted everything it said. I turned it red and moved on.
