"Don't worry about it," I reassured him, settling down on the soft grass beside him.

As we lay side by side, our eyes locked in a silent exchange of awkwardness.

Breaking the silence, I mustered the courage to know more about him. "I can't imagine the hardships you've endured as a vampire, the painful transformation you've gone through," I pursed my mouth.

A painful smile played upon his lips as he lay straight on his back, his eyes tracing the constellations above.

"You have no idea of what I've faced," he chuckled softly, his voice filled with a hint of sorrow.

"Tell me," I demanded, making him feel that I wouldn't judge no matter what he had done.

“You wouldn’t wanna know!” He smirked.

“I do!” I answered him confidently, my gaze fixed on him.

He glanced at me briefly before returning his gaze to the sky. "You truly believe you can handle the darkness that lives within me?" he questioned, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.

With true intentions, I placed my hand on his forearm. "I promi

    We drove in silence, the tension thick between us. Our attempts at smiles felt forced and nervous, failing to break the unease. As we reached the town, flashing blue lights and the presence of police officers everywhere heightened our anxiety."What happened here?" I asked, my voice shaky with confusion and fear."Shh, let me hear," Dominic whispered, his focus intensifying as he tried to listen in on the nearby conversations.As he concentrated, he overheard a police officer speaking on the phone. "He’s a 16-year-old male student. Mentally disturbed, it seems. Yes, Theo Adams. He disappeared yesterday. We found a strange symbol burned into his chest. Looks like he was tortured."Dominic’s face turned serious as he looked at me. "We need to get to your house. I’ll explain everything there." He held my hand, and we headed to my home.Upon entering, we found the place in a complete mess, as if a storm had gone back and forth. Panic filled me as Dominic closed the door behind us. "Mom?"

    “Yeah,” I nodded, curious.“I’m Luna Redwood.” She extended her hand. I set my guitar on my lap and shook hands with her.“Are you related to Mr. Redwood?” I asked, squinting in confusion.“Yes, I’m his cousin. I need to tell you something,” she began, a strange fear clutching my heart.“Listen, I’m not interested in hearing about your relationship with him,” I interrupted, afraid that she might reveal some romantic details.“What? God, no!” she exclaimed, her eyes wide. “I’m not talking about a relationship. He’s too young and I’m way older than him.” She paused, a serious expression crossing her face. Just then, Claire called my name, breaking the moment."Listen, when you’re ready to talk, call me on this number,” Luna said, scribbling her number on a napkin and handing it to me.I took it, nodded, and said, “Okay.”Picking up my guitar, I strummed a few chords. The crowd’s chants urged me to sing, so I started. As the café door swung open, Victoria walked in, her eyes lighting up

    I took a sip, and it felt as if I had just tasted the most vicious thing in the world. My throat dried just by taking the first sip, and the bitterness made my skin crawl. “This is not just an ordinary tea, this is related to your next test! Have you ever noticed why the crowd is always attracted to you in a bad way? Why are they always after you? Either constantly trying to hurt you or force you into something you do not want?” She began to walk in front of me.“Don’t you want to find out a way to break free from this cursed life?” She looked into my eyes.I took a deep breath and gulped all the tea in one breath, my forehead wrinkled, and I covered my mouth because I thought I’d gag, but I managed to hold it in.“Get in!” She tilted her hand toward the bathtub.I entered the water and then waited for the water to get warm like the other time, but instead, I slowly began to drift off and slipped into the bathtub as I fell asleep.I felt as if I had just woken up in another dimension

    Jade rushed to my side, quickly pulling my feet out of the blood-soaked tub. Hovering her hand above my injured toes, she began reciting an incantation, mending the wounds with her powers. As she helped me out of the water, her face turned pale with concern."I thought you were prepared," she exclaimed, her voice filled with disappointment.Gasping for breath, I managed to speak, "What happened?"Coughing violently, I awaited her response, my lungs twisting with pain.“The mere thought of his presence around you makes you vulnerable. You are too afraid of him, and I don’t blame you for that!” Jade rubbed my shoulders gently.Then she gasped with shock when her eyes fell on the ground, the area around the bathtub was now dry, lacking any grass or any kind of greenery. Before I could ask the reason behind her troubled state. She spoke up, “You’ve mixed your subconsciousness into reality, that’s why you are bleeding.” She handed me a large piece of chocolate.“This isn’t any normal choc

    "And if you ever find someone else who makes you happier than I ever could, I'll still be here, by your side, as your friend. Your happiness is what matters most to me." He gently wiped away my tears, and his gentle touch made me feel loved."I wish I..." I began, my voice trailing off. "I wish I could give you the love you deserve, but it's just too early for me.""Listen!" He grasped my shoulders tightly, his eyes filled with a mix of longing and a feeling I can't describe."Being loved by you could be the most beautiful thing that would ever happen to me." He paused, his gaze dropping momentarily before locking with mine once more."But I don't want it out of pity." A bittersweet smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he shifted his gaze back to the ground again."Now, focus!" he said, his voice still heavy with emotions. "You don't want to trip in front of everyone!" We resumed our dance practice.Afterward, Dominic left for his home. I found myself alone in the comfort of my

    "He left because of me!" I exclaimed, my voice filled with pain."I was his student, but we... kind of... fell in love. But he tried to distance himself from me, until that day..." I struggled to speak through my tears, my emotions overwhelming me. "That day, we ended up getting closer than we had ever planned. But then, after the earthquake, he just disappeared, leaving behind only this note." I hurriedly went to my room and retrieved the paper from my drawer, showing it to her as tears streamed down my face.She looked at me with a mixture of concern and confusion, her eyes scanning the cracked mirror in front of us. Then, her gaze shifted to the paper in my trembling hand."None of this makes any sense," she began, her voice filled with confusion. "Listen!" She took out her phone and showed me the last conversation she had with him. It read something like this:Evan: “You were correct about the earthquake happening. Please update me on the current situation of the town so that I ca

    She nodded, her expression filled with curiosity. "Yes, but where are we going to obtain his blood?" she asked."Remember when I shared with you about waking up in a pool of blood? In my dream, I witnessed him bleeding, and ever since then, I have been waking up in a pool of blood. I strongly believe..." I paused for a moment, gathering my thoughts. "I strongly believe it is his blood," I declared, casting my gaze upon each of them in turn."Do you still have that blood?" Luna inquired.I nodded, a sense of urgency coursing through me. "Yes, I still have it! It is safely tucked away in the pocket of my tracksuit!" I turned to Dominic. "Can you please take me home? We cannot afford to waste another minute.""Meet us at the park in 10 minutes!" Victoria called out, waving at us."Understood!" Dominic nodded, and together, we descended the stair tower."Only 10 minutes?" I squinted at him, my voice filled with confusion."Do you trust me?" he asked, extending his hand toward me.I nodded

    At first, I stared at her, my mouth hanging open in disbelief. After a moment, I shook my head. "I'm completely lost right now, but this is not important right now... what is important is that we have to find him. No matter if he's a vampire, a Lycan, or even a gremlin, we'll save him!" I finally breathed a sigh of relief."Gremlin? Seriously?" Victoria sniggered.However, the fear of losing him again was still in my mind. "But how are we going to find him?" Victoria asked, her confusion evident on her face."We'll do what detectives do! We'll go to the crime scene!" I declared, but Luna interrupted me."You kids stay right where you are. I'll inform Asco!" She pulled out her phone, but I grabbed her hand."I just found him. I can't just sit around and wait for another problem to tear us apart!" I looked into her eyes, pleading with her."Besides, he reached out to me. He needs me!" I convinced her.I turned my head toward Dominic. "Are you coming?" I asked, hoping he would join us.

    Suddenly, that's when I heard coughing echo through the tunnel. My heart pounded as we pressed forward, the sound growing louder with each step.The wind seemed to howl and push us back, but we didn’t stop. We had to find him at any cost, no matter what happens next.My heart thudded so loudly that I had to clutch my chest. “What if it’s not him? What if he’s badly hurt? What if I am too late?” Doubts clawed at me, trying to hold me back, but I pushed through the fear and desperation.After what felt like an eternity, I finally saw him. There he was, after all this time, unconscious and chained to the wall, sweat dripping off him as if he’d just been pulled from a pool.I froze, my legs unwilling to move. A torrent of emotions surged through me, and I could no longer hold back. With heavy, trembling steps, I approached him. As soon as I got close, I collapsed to my knees. I cradled his face in my hands, gently brushing the damp hair from his forehead. He struggled to lift his heavy e

    Viviana began to chant an incantation, and soon Luna’s sobs quieted as she fell into a deep sleep.“There’s only one way to find out,” Viviana said thoughtfully. “We need to find a way to heal and restore her tongue.”“How are we going to do it?” I asked, eager to help.“I think I need to call a friend, someone you know too – Jade,” Viviana replied.“I need to contact her as soon as possible. Meanwhile, you should go back to the place where you found that blood-marked paper and bring it to me. I might be able to extract the sweat of the one who did this to her,” she suggested, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder.I nodded, willing to go through any danger. “I’ll get it right away,” I said, feeling a renewed sense of purpose.Victoria yelled from upstairs, "I'll remain by her side to offer my help in any way possible." She then shrugged.I nodded in agreement, "I'll take Dominic with me." My statement was a mix of a question and a declaration.Dominic agreed, "Let's start moving."

    It was now important that we visit her immediately. "I guess we're heading to the cafe!" I said to my friends.They looked puzzled, but they followed me. We arrived at the cafe and everything seemed normal, until I spotted Claire by her cabin, motioning for us to come over with two fingers.We made our way to her, and as soon as she took us inside, she led us to her storeroom. What we saw left us breathless - it was Luna, and she was so weak that it seemed like she might not survive if she wasn't taken to the hospital.She was injured; someone must have attacked her. I felt regret for ever doubting her. I rushed to her, but Claire's words caught my attention."She's not speaking, she just wrote this," she said, showing me a note. It read, "Call Julia, don't call anyone else, please!" I looked at Luna, she was barely able to hold up her head and keep her eyes open."Who did this to you?" I asked gently. She couldn't answer; her mouth was sealed shut."Let's take her to the hospital!" I

    We exchanged confused glances, realizing that maybe she's right. Without wasting another second, we rushed out of her home. As we hurried, my phone rang. It was my mom.“Claire has been calling my number over and over again. She has something important to talk about!” Mom said, sounding worried, before hanging up.I looked at my phone and saw multiple missed calls from Claire. “It isn’t time yet,” I mumbled, leaving her a message, “I’ll be there on time!”Our hearts were racing wildly as we made our way back. My heart pounded as we reached his house. Dominic didn't hesitate; he stormed inside, with Victoria and me following closely. We began tearing through the house, moving carpets, checking for hidden doors, anything that could lead us to the basement.Suddenly, Dominic shouted, “Over here!” He had found a trapdoor hidden under an old rug in the living room. It was so well concealed that it was no wonder we missed it the first time.I felt a mix of hope and dread as we opened the do

    “What do we do? Hire a cab?” I looked at my friends, feeling lost and anxious.“No, it won’t get here on time! I have an idea!” Dominic replied, a smirk forming on his lips.Without another word, we sprinted toward the bus station. From there, Dominic carried us, sprinting from tree to tree with astonishing speed. It was like being on a rollercoaster, but only faster, the world blurring around us as we moved.As soon as he dropped us in the front yard of Viviana’s house, Victoria clutched her stomach and bolted toward a dustbin in the corner, vomiting into it.I held my head, trying to steady myself as the world spun around me.“I don’t know how you cannot find it fun!” Dominic chuckled, clearly amused by our discomfort.We made our way to Viviana’s door, which was ajar this time. She was sitting just inside, sleeping on her armchair in front of the door with a shotgun clutched in her hands. The moment we stepped in, she jerked awake, pointing the gun at us.“Whoa!” I shouted, raising

    "Wait!" I yelled, "Why are you helping us?" I asked.He didn't answer, instead, he just kept walking.Dominic and Victoria reached me, and Dominic shrugged. “I think you should tell the Sheriff anyway. If not about that white-haired dude, then about the redhead,” he suggested.“I think we should get out of here as soon as possible!” Victoria clutched her chest. “Something doesn’t feel right!”"Hey!" I held her shoulder, and we followed her advice and decided to reach out to Luna first.When I called her, she picked up right away but seemed busy. She whispered, “I’ll catch up with you guys later!” before excusing herself.“What are we gonna do?” I looked at my friends, worried and confused.“Let’s go to Viviana on our own!” Dominic suggested. “What do you think?” he asked, turning to Victoria.“I have no problem with that!” she nodded, and we left immediately.When we arrived at Viviana’s, her door was locked, unlike before. We knocked, and she opened the door, her expression confused,

    Jade's voice echoed through the air once more, softer this time. "You've succeeded in retrieving them from their memories. Now, return to the real world."The sea began to dissolve around us, and we found ourselves back in the tub, the knives gone, our palms healed. We were drenched, exhausted, but alive. The connection between us had deepened, and we knew what she meant by them being hinges to the door.Jade stood over us, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Well done. But this is only the beginning. There are greater challenges ahead, and you'll need each other more than ever.""What was the purpose of this test?" I stepped out of the tub and dried myself with a towel, I stared at my healed hands with surprise."I wanted to see how all that revelation affected you, how you are going to face him after finding out the truth about yourself, and what you'd choose between your fear and the lives of your loved ones." Jade grinned, helping Victoria out of the water.Then my phone rang, and

    This time, I had to go to the realm of fear once again, and this time, Victoria and Dominic were going with me.We took our boots off and entered the tub. “Present me your palms!” Jade extended her hand, holding a knife in her other hand. We obeyed her and offered our palms to her. At first, she placed my left palm on top of Victoria’s palm and then did the same with my right palm and Dominic’s palm.Then she picked two sharp, thin knives and poked them together in both my hands, piercing through Victoria’s and Dominic’s palms as well. We screamed and grunted with pain, but that was it; she left the knife in our hands, still piercing through our hands when we fainted together.After a while, when we three woke up, we woke up in a strong stormy sea. At first, I swam toward the surface of the water and coughed as I saw ocean waves crashing against one another.I caught my breath and coughed, struggling to find my friends, but one after another waves ran me over, I again reached the top,

    I was left in shock, staring at her in disbelief. "Mom?" I struggled to speak. "How did Dad pass away?" I questioned."He had a heart attack," she replied confidently, but sadness was visible in her eyes."Do you remember his last message?" I tried to dig in."What message?" She raised an eyebrow."Do you recall anything about the blood in the granny's restroom?" I pressed on."Blood? Did you hurt yourself?" She took my hands and examined them."It's nothing, I just... I think I need to rest," I said, holding her hands before retreating to the bed.It was a difficult night, filled with thoughts that kept me awake: "What's got into her?" I couldn't believe anything that happened with Mom.It wasn't just hard for us, but also for Viviana. An image of the map and an unseen presence tormented her, a man's voice echoing in her mind. "You shouldn't have done that," it repeated throughout the night.When morning finally arrived, I headed out for a jog. Later, I explained everything to Domini
