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
After a tough struggle, I felt extremely delighted to see that all my efforts had turned out to be fruitful. I could hear Ben’s moaning sound.“Anne, save me, Anne! The silver bullet has hit me. I will die!” His hands were still on his stomach while he exclaimed,.“Ben! You are alright, Ben! Nothing has happened to you. You are safe now.” I said as I held his hand, supporting him so that he could get up from the floor.“ He held his head and said, “Why am I getting this head ache, Anne? I feel that I will just faint. I am unable to be stable. I can’t even stand straight.” He said that, and I noticed that his legs were stumbling. I supported him again and helped him sit on the bed.“Oh no! What happened to mom? Why is she lying on the floor like that? Did she get attacked as well, Anne?’ He asked me, expressing his shock as he tried to get up from the bed to see mom, but he stumbled again and sat on the bed helplessly.“It’s nothing, Ben. She just fainted because she saw you in that co
As I woke up in the morning, I noticed that Ben had already prepared a folder and was getting ready to leave. I was filled with curiosity and couldn’t help asking him, “Ben! Where do you intend to leave the folder in your hand?”I will be going to the court today. I have already sent summonses to the vampire lawyers and the accused on behalf of the vampire king. I will be presiding over the court as the judge in my capacity as the heir of the vampire king. I can’t just allow Uncle Ronald and Frank to carry on their surreptitious activities for long. They tried to kill me already, and I don’t want to give them a second chance for the same. I will expose them in court.” Ben replied as I could see his eyes go red due to the anger and frustration that he had in his heart.“If you don’t mind, can I accompany you there? I want to see the procedure in the vampire king’s court.” I asked reluctantly, as I was afraid that Ben would refuse to take me along with him.“Sure! Anne. I want you and m
I felt lonely and depressed as I had to live apart from my love, my husband, who had arrived in my life as an angel, just to make me forget the struggles I had faced throughout my previous life. He had made my life worth living and given me a sense of security, care, and love that any girl in the world would desire from her life partner. But little did I expect that my life would turn out to be what it is today. I was lost in thought when my doctor friend Estella arrived in the room. She had to sprinkle some water over me to get me out of my thoughts. “It’s time for your injections, Anne. You will have to take them on time to recover from the depression and anxiety you are facing, my dear,” she tried to explain. ‘I am missing him a lot, Estella. I don’t think that I can live without him.” I said I soaked in despair. “Just chill, Anne! Everything will be alright!” Estella tried to console me as she held my hands to dress up my wrist. It was still hurting like a thousand devils. I gro
The other day I felt better, and I was discharged from the hospital and returned home, but then my heart was in shambles, and the beautiful bungalow seemed to be all in ruins without Ben’s presence. I hoped against hope that he would return, although I feared him being a vampire.I just made myself a glass of red wine to reduce my tension. But I was again flabbergasted as I read the headlines in the newspaper: “The MD of Franks Automobile Pvt. Ltd. and the CEO’s husband fly and abscond while trying to be arrested. Is he a supernatural being or a vampire? Would this affect the reputation of the company in the future?” I banged the newspaper on the table in frustration. These media people have no other work but to sneak into others' private lives.I got worried about my sales going down, but then I remembered that Ben had just helped me make a full-proof plan to make our automobiles available to customers at a lesser rate than any other automobile company was offering at that time witho
