After dinner, Ben’s mother and I decided to sleep while Ben felt the craving to drink some blood as he felt the need to rejuvenate himself after a long, tiring day. It was for the first time that Ben was going to consume blood right in my presence with my consent and knowledge.I dreaded it and got a nauseating sensation just to think that he would consume blood. I wanted to stop him from doing that, as I condemned the idea of him consuming it, but there was very little that I could do to prevent him from doing that. He was a half vampire after all and not a human. I could not stop his craving, as he had been used to that habit since his childhood. He had his own world—totally different from humans. He preferred spending his nights doing such activities instead of sleeping, but he never forgot to provide me with the love and care that I deserved as his wife.I was annoyed for a while when he opened the refrigerator and reached out for a bottle of blood, but soon Iwas hypnotized as he
Ben produced another camera from his pocket. “Look at this, Frank. This camera has all the backups from the previous one. Do you feel that you have destroyed the evidence against you? It is still safely saved on this miniature camera of mine.” Ben said.Don’t worry, Ben! I will destroy that too within seconds. I will make sure that you have no evidence against me or Ronald.” Frank snatched the camera from Ben’s hand and again banged it on the floor. The camera was broken into pieces.“Ha.ha..ha.. Did you think that I would let you win? We have made a full-proof plan against the vampire king, and we are sure to grab his throne soon. Has he perished, or is he still alive?” Frank burst into laughter.“You will soon come to know everything, Frank. Have some patience. Don’t be under the illusion that you have destroyed all the evidence, because it is still safe with me, Frank. However, I will let you know about that some other time.” Ben produced a knife from his pocket and held it right o
I looked at Frank through the bars of the cage. His skin looked paler than that of Ben, and his eyes had a darker hue. His lips looked as though they were painted red, and his thin body structure made him look as if he lacked the strength to fight, but that wasn’t the case, as I could see that he was brimming with energy and self-confidence. He was wearing a black gown that was worn by people in the eighteenth century.“How old-fashioned these vampires are. They know hardly anything about the prevailing fashion and trends. He would look like an idiot if he happened to be in the human world.” I thought to myself, trying to hide the laughter that was trying to show on my face.Ben, on the other hand, was wearing a black shirt and black trousers, although he had a gown on top of them to distinguish him from humans. He was so smart and handsome. His chiseled chest, broad shoulders, toned muscles, six packs, and an attractive, charming face made him the heartthrob of millions of girls in t
I was scared out of my wits, and I tried to find solace in Ben’s arms. I turned out to be cuddling Ben. I placed my head on his chest gently and felt relieved as he stroked my head, trying to make me feel comfortable.“This is the reason I was saying that you should be returning to the city. This is not a place suitable for you to stay, Anne. You, as a human, cannot survive in this vampire world, as it is full of danger. Many of the vampires are evil over here. Only a few of them are really good at heart.” Ben tried to explain the situation to me. He seemed to be worried about our safety by now.“I know, Ben, that the vampire world is full of danger for me, but I trust you, and I believe that you will be there to rescue me from every danger that I am subject to.” I said I was trying to calm him down.“I will not be available always, Anne. If I have to fight these pure vampires, then I will get so busy that I will not be able to focus on your safety all the while.” Ben replied.“I unde
Ben looked all around. In fact, he jumped towards the window to see who was listening to our conversation. We had been discussing something really confidential, and somebody else eavesdropped on the same, which was detrimental to us. We could not let any of the pure vampires know about his secrets in a situation where they were at loggerheads with Ben. He was extremely worried and wanted to find out who that was.He went near the window and sniffed. As a half vampire, he could sense the smell and identify the presence of a pure vampire easily. “Why don’t I feel the smell of a vampire here? You know, Anne, all I can sense is the fragrance of a deodorant over here. Whoever reached here had applied deodorant on purpose just to mislead me.” Ben said.“Who else other than Uncle Ronald can try to mislead you, Ben? I am almost sure that it is his work.” I asserted.Within a split second, Ben was out of the window, following somebody who was not visible to me at least.“Ben! Wait! That can be
His cozy arms provided me with sufficient warmth, making me feel better, and I had almost forgotten my fear that he was a vampire and might turn out sucking my blood. I felt a little normal and recovered from the shock that I had received while handling the invisible vampire that had entered our room. I wondered from where I had gathered the courage at that moment. I felt delicate and timid in Ben’s presence, perhaps because I trusted him and had the faith that he would not let any danger hover around me.Ben finished his coffee and walked towards his mother. “Ben, I know that something mysterious is happening around, and I have the right to know that, don’t I?” She asked him.“It is nothing, Mom. Everything is normal so far.” Ben replied calmly, trying to hide the emotions of anger, fear, and restlessness swelling in his mind all together.“Ben! I know you very well. Don’t forget that I am your mother. I can notice even the slightest change in your facial expressions and make out wha
I looked helplessly at the spray can that didn’t have any hydrogen sulfide gas remaining inside it. I wanted to ask Mom about the solution to the current problem that I was facing, but she was unconscious already. I opened the pump of the spray can and jerked it over Ben, trying to pour the contents of the can, if any, over Ben, expecting it to work miracles, but what I got was mere disappointment as the can didn’t even have a drop of gas inside it.I looked sadly at Ben’s lifeless body lying on the floor of the room, and Mom lay unconscious beside his body. I was left all alone in the battle against the pure vampires. I had already expected an attack as soon as the pure vampire had eavesdropped on our conversation, but even before we could work out solutions or discuss it completely, Ben was already attacked. I was at a loss to understand what my next step should be. As a human and that too a female, all I wanted to do at that moment was weep, but I couldn’t afford to do that at that
I could drive smoothly across the narrow road that was formed in between the trees, as it wasn’t tread much by anybody. The vampires hardly used the land route as they used the air route generally, and that was the advantage I was having as none of them bothered to look at the land and the activities going on over there. I tried to look for birds and animals around in the forest, but to my surprise, there wasn’t even a single bird or animal around. Either the animals had left the forest in fear or the vampires had just killed them by drinking their blood.I was worried about the further obstacles that I would have to face while collecting the gas from the volcanic site. I wasn’t a science student, and I had no idea how to collect the gas in the gas syringe. I utilized the time spent in the car by doing some Google searches about the method of collecting the gas in a gas syringe. The car being technically advanced and the fact that I didn’t have to face any obstacles on my way made me
