“If that someone can offer a ride to hostel, then later can be discussed in a nice café.”Charlotte turned to face ever smiling Daniel whose polite face had fairly amused expressions.“You know how to bargain, Good!”He crossed his arms and gestured towards his car in the parking lot.“My services outside the hostel are not free. I will charge extra for ride.”To call off this nonsense argument, Charlotte accepted his requirements.“Deal!”Then she picked up Angie and laid her on the back seat with her head in her lap.“For your general knowledge, I am not your personal driver. Move!”Charlotte reluctantly came to the front seat and finally they left from that barbaric space. Daniel was silent but Charlotte still wanted to get another favor,“I have a request, doctor. Please don’t report this to the administration office; otherwise, her career will end.”“Why would I do that?”Daniel was clearly amazed!“I found a student drunk and abused in city’s disrupted area. It’s my duty to infor
“Why are you so convinced that I am a heart broken cry baby?”Charlotte was now exasperated by her guest who was trying to be personal with her. After all, there is some privacy entitled for everyone and Vampires, they are known to keep their secrets till death. This is the reason behind their secure way to survive long term.“I have a hypothesis to support my theory.”Daniel was super energetic at once. He placed his fork back in the plate as his competitive nature kicked in for a face-off,“First, you are single, no girl friend or boy friend. Secondly, you don’t have any male friends. No one ever saw you in any official banquet with your Uncle or friends. This is the severe case of social anxiety and heart break, Star. You are at verge of boycotting all men.”Charlotte was wide eyed at with all his research,“Have someone ever told you that you are quite meddlesome?”“Oh! That comes with my job package. It's free.”He spoke with his eyes twinkling and face beaming with light. Charlo
Charlotte followed him to the edge of the cliff and all of a sudden, he shouted,“I hate myself!”Charlotte took a deep breath, inhaling the purity of nature.“That’s why we came all the way long here. What a great place to complain about life!”Daniel walked back to her side, with a wide grin to support his opinion,“This is my emotional outlet. I used to come here whenever I am upset. I believe that if you speak out your reservations and wish for the best, then the Universe will also help you in solving your problems.”“Stupid human ideology!”Charlotte cursed him in her heart, who can know more than her about double standards of his society. She craned her neck, feigning to have interest in his idiocy,“Was it useful for you? I mean you got help from the Universe, right?”Daniel looked down at her, giving that he was almost seven inches taller than her.“Yes, it went well. I passed my final exams with flying colors, got a job and found a courage to see my love with her husband. I d
Even it was late at night, they still got a lift from a kind couple. Charlotte was troubled when Daniel told them his address. But it was obvious that she can’t go back to the hostel, it will be scandalous enough to ruin her name.In one meeting, she heard about his family and got a chance to meet them too. What a coincidence!Daniel’s mother, Julia, welcomed them. She was also confused that why his decent son who was carrying a girl, came home at this hour.“Mom, Star is injured! Please give me the first aid box.”He made her sit on a couch, crouching down to apply medicine.“It will sting a little. Bear it for a while.”Charlotte was looking at this gentle man who was treating her like a fragile flower. After her father’s death, Daniel was the one to make her feel special like this. Even in humans, this kind of care was rare.She clearly felt the bond of trust growing stronger between them.Charlotte stayed in Mrs. Webber’s room, who updated her with their whole background.“Daniel’
Cover page of University weekly newsletter was pinned on the notice board, which was an intimate picture of Charlotte and Daniel. Caption was,“A passionate couple, breaking the rules of the university.”Picture was taken from the last night’s party, which can only mean that,“Rick, you are so dead!”Her heart raced, extending her fangs and a foreign hiss escaped from her mouth. Charlotte covered her mouth instantly, shutting her eyes close in a desperate attempt to cool down.In her rage’s episode, her heart thumped at a possibility.“Daniel!”She clutched her school bag and dashed towards his office. As her sixth sense suggested, his office was locked along with his name board removed.“Shit, shit, shit! Damn Rick! You have no idea whom you have offended.”Charlotte called Daniel on his cellphone but he didn’t receive it. Determined to find him, she took an off and went to his home, in the hope of clearing everything. In mean time, she ordered her manager to give her the complete in
“It’s an outdated trick to pretend injured or dead to hunt. Level up your game, sired one! Humans are more smarter than this.”This made that vampire opened his milky white eyes, barely moving.“My sire! He is angry! This is my punishment. I, I can’t …”His dried up veins and darkened complexion was obvious enough to depict the extent of brutality.“What type of stupid punishment his Sire chose for him?”That vampire was in the middle of life and death as his Master sucked out his venom from his body. He couldn’t die as his soul was still bound to his Sire and can’t live as pure blood’s venom was out of his system.Charlotte shuddered at the cruelty of his Master, who deliberately put him in this misery. She pinched her finger and poured a few drops, merely as an instinct but this little favor was a life source for him. He jolted up by those blood drops,“How can I address you, my savior?”He lowered his head and knelt down, showing his gratitude.“My name is not necessary. Just compl
“Is everything alright?”Charlotte posed a question while removing her quilt.“Pack your bags, Charlotte. My dream summer wedding, it’s happening!”Her face was dazzling with happiness like full of life, joy and spring. Charlotte was on cloud nine.“You lucky girl! How it turned out like this?”It was Ava’s biggest fantasy to have a beach themedWedding Ceremony. Her wish list, scrapbook and even review book was filled with pics and arrangements of the Ceremony. Everything was planned from the venue to the dress, only groom was missing.Ava was like a howling beast that keeps one awake at night, speaking loudly,“Allen won the competition of hand to hand combat in Academy. As a reward, his trainer approved his leave application. Ceremony is on Saturday.”“What! This Saturday?”Charlotte was stupefied with this urgency but it was reasonable.“He is at home for a week then I will move with him. I have signed up for the warrior's training.”Well, it was something brand new for Star as cr
Although the ceremony was in the evening but the preparations were all done. Ava hugged her tightly, not giving her a chance to place her bags.“You finally made it, Charlotte!”Charlotte patted her back for a length of time.“You are totally changed. Perfect! This is the best solution for your fear of rejection. Now, I am sure that your beloved wouldn’t even think about abandoning you.”“Who’s talking about this nonsense?”A pleasing young man emerged from the bedroom, wrapping his arm around Ava’s shoulder protectively."Nothing, dear. Have a seat!"They all sat down in the living room whose setting wasn’t change a bit after all these years.“She is Charlotte, my friend, whom I told you about. She was always so disheartened about her soulmate’s reaction but gist of the problem is solved now.”Allen was in bewilderment, like he was struck by a weird revelation.“She isn’t that Charlotte you showed me. That girl was seriously damaged.”Uncle Tadd coughed and Ava pressed his arm to sto
