As Hana and Nabi were walking hand in hand back to the hostel. "We also had a romantic walk", Hana whispered in shy.
"Is it? " Nabi clapped in excitement and hoped that it would be happy news.
"Yes, from M.G Bus-stop"
"What? You made him walk 5 km."
"He even placed his hand on my shoulder when we were near University. It was so romantic. Do you think he likes me?"
Nabi figured why Ian hadn't called or pinged her today. She pressed on Ian's contact to check whether he was fine.
"Hello!" Ian said in a weak voice.
"Why did you walk with her? Don't you hate walking? Why didn't you tell her?"
Without replying, he asked if she could get him something to eat as his legs were in a frozen state.
"Ok, take rest.", she said and looked at Hana, who looked worried.
"Did I make a mistake? Isn't he an athletic person? I wanted to show him that I am compatible with him.", she murmured, putting her head down.
"I will explain to you later. First, let's get some food."
Both rushed to the canteen and purchased some snacks. As they were about to exit the canteen, Nabi abruptly stopped looking at Beau standing before her just a few centimetres away.
"Handsome", she thought with eyes fixed on him.
"Seems like you came to answer my question. Thank You," He sent a mind link with a flirtatious smile.
Nabi continued gazing at Beau with a bright smile and eyes wide open.
She looked distracted by Hana, who was pulling her hand.
"Do you want Ian to die?" she yelled on top of her voice.
With her hand being pulled by Hana and her eyes on Beau, she looked like a child whose toy had been snatched away.
"Seems like you started mesmerizing everyone", Olivia said, appearing from thin air.
"But I feel captivated towards her. I felt like pulling her in my arms. I never had this feeling before in my 40 years. All my senses heightened, and I had a difficult time controlling my hands and thoughts."
"Is she your partner?"
"Don't you think it's too early for a Vampire to have a human partner?", he sighed walking towards the boy's residency.
As he walked, he heard Nabi's voice coming from his hostel.
"Have some juice"
And a boy's voice followed, "Did anyone see you coming?"
Beau felt his blood boiling and eyes turning red. Though he didn't understand why he was feeling that way, he wanted to break the neck of that voice.
Noticing that he was transforming, "OLI", he screamed loud enough for her to hear and feeble to humans.
"Beau", Nabi's said to herself, worrying.
Olivia pushed him to the faraway tree, which was two kilometres away in a second before he could send a mind voice.
The tree fell loud, while Beau stood there with raging red eyes and sharp fangs.
Olivia was taken back by Beau's look, which she hadn't seen before, even while hunting. She waited as she looked at him slowly coming back.
"We should visit home NOW", Olivia commanded.
"Don't you want to know why you suddenly transformed and you looked as if you wanted to kill someone? We have to discuss this with Darrien."
"I know why I transformed."
"Why?", she vexed looking at the mess he created.
"Nabi"
"What about her?"
"She was speaking with a boy", he replied.
"Oooo.....wait ...what does that have to do with your transformation," she asked, lacking understanding.
"I think she is my partner."
"Oooookay, so you were jealous of him", she teased.
"I need to confirm this", he said, dialling a number on his phone.
"Hello Darrien"
"Hello", a man with a hoarse voice replied.
"I think I found my partner. Is it possible? I am still young."
"True, You are young, but you can't jump to conclusions. First, you need to confirm it?"
"How do I confirm it?"
"Your power won't work on her, and when you hold her hand, both of you will see a red thread connecting your wrists. Your touch will also awake her."
Beau nodded with every statement Darrien said obediently.
"Get back to me after confirmation", Darrien said, disconnecting the call.
"The first one is fine, but I don't think she will allow you to hold her hand", Olivia remarked.
Beau nodded.
As they were coming out of the woods, Nabi and Hana were secretly coming out of the men's dorm.
"Seems like you talked with your boyfriend", Olivia exclaimed, teasing them.
"No, no..."
"You don't have to say them, they can listen to you", Nabi said, breaking off Hana and scanned Beau from top to bottom.
"This is Olivia, and this is Beau", Nabi introduced them to Hana in an unenthusiastic tone.
Hana stretched her hand towards Olivia and said, "I am Hana, Nabi's friend."
Hana put her hand down before shaking and continued talking to them as if nothing happened.
"What?" Nabi thought and looked at Hana.
Beau, who observed Nabi's expression stood silent both in thoughts and words.
As Hana and Nabi walked off, Beau looked at Olivia and pronounced that he was unable to control Nabi's thoughts.
"Seems like we have to speak out from now on.", Olivia said dissatisfiedly and disappeared.
Beau walked to his room, dragging his feet, exhausted from immediate transitions.
Taking a red packet from the drawer, he sat sipping the liquid from the packet. As he drank completely, his pale skin started turning to a fair pinkish complexion.
"Blood is the best food", he commented, putting on his earbuds listening to some soothing music.
After teasing each other for a while, both of them slept in each other's arms. The girl, who appeared like a xerox copy of Nabi with short hair, was lying without any moment. A pool of blood was under her head and wrist. She seemed pale as Beau drank up all the blood from her. Closing eyes and breathing deeply with satisfaction, Beau stood up. Opening his eyes, which turned red, he glanced at the girl lying unconsciously beside him. The wind rustled from the trees surrounding them, making her hair move slightly, displaying a butterfly tattoo on her nape. "Beautiful tattoo!!" he uttered. Suddenly his eyes widened looking into the forest, and he jumped over her, rushing into the woods. "What?" Beau uttered, waking from sleep. "Is this future or past? How could I hop and leave a dead girl in that condition?" Beau feebly groaned. Recalling the car model, which he had seen before, he confirmed that it was past. As far as he remembered, he first drank blood when Monica gave him a red
"What are you thinking when we are banging our heads to know how they knew about you?" Albert questioned, glaring at her. "What if they knew? Didn't Nabi tell us that they might have seen our information? Moreover, we can hear human's thoughts. Keeping an ear on the people around Ian is more than enough." Whatever Olivia mentioned was true, but cutting that discussion in the root was necessary. Reacting to such comments will only make the situation hotter. Not bothering them will make every student around keep a constant eye on them. However, compulsion could be done, if caught. Albert, Beau and Nabi's minds were filled with various thoughts. All of them were concerned that the vampire secret would be revealed if not taken care of properly. "What if Olivia or Ian comment that they were waiting for us to come from shopping?" Nabi suggested. "Ian doesn't even know that we are related. First of all, Why will he? The whole campus knows that he lov
"Just tell me, whose photos and why?" Beau intervened and interrogated, standing in front of her. "Me, Hana and Nabi along with Ian," Olivia uttered, biting her lower lip saying Ian's name. Hearing Ian's name, Beau's eyes narrowed, and his nose flared. "What? When did you all take a picture with him?" Beau yelled, grabbing the mobile from her. The phone displayed an article with the title, "University handsome chunk turned into a playboy." Below the bold heading, there were three pictures- 1) An old photo of Nabi and Ian. 2) Hana and Ian's picture, where they were facing each other near Computer Science block( Her dress remembered him the day of the incident when Hana refused that it was her in the picture.) Now, her face is visible as the photographer captured it from a different angle. 3) Olivia and Ian, laughing at the canteen table. Nabi, who seemed to have awakened due to the chaos sighed, weakly. "Why am I facing issues,
Even though his body was urging him to intake blood, his heart was pleading and throbbing him to save her. Untieing the knot Albert created on the napkin, he wrapped it around Nabi's wrist. He suddenly felt that he was in some trance as everything around him seemed clouded. He could see Albert rushing towards them as the scent vanished in thin air. "Nabi! Nabi!" Albert was calling, patting her cheek. Since there was no response from her, he raced, taking her into arms. But, before he left, he ordered Olivia to fetch Beau a packet of blood. Olivia, who was outraged few minutes, seemed to have steadied and disappeared instantly on Albert's command, leaving Beau alone. Everything that was going on was still blurry to him, and in addition, the voices appeared distorted too. Sitting beside a pool of blood, he tried to recall the things that happened in the past few minutes. Tears rolled down as he viewed Nabi's blood on the floor. He wanted to see her, but
In a split second, Nabi hand was few inches above Beau's face. The slit she made was dripping blood onto his lips. Albert slammed to a corner in a terrace in a flash. His eyes were pitch dark red, and his canines protruded. Although Albert is old, fresh blood from a human could make any Vampire freak out and lose one's mind. Even though it was tough for him to calm and compose himself, he was using all his strength to stabilize as it is his responsibility as an old one. "NABI!!" he shouted, holding his breath as tight as possible. She lifted her head and glanced the whole place to find Albert struck in a corner. It was the first time for Nabi to watch Albert in a vampire form. Her eyes bulged out, watching him but suddenly saddened looking at Beau. The main person for whom she cut herself wasn't even licking the blood on his lips. His heart and body seemed to be fighting intensely, which was making him insane. Body: "Fresh, Yummy Blood!"
[The next day, 12 pm] As Beau left for hunting, Albert came to Nabi, who was eating along with Hana. Albert: I need to discuss something urgent. (Uttering those words, he looked at Hana) "Should I disappear?" Hana asked satirically. Albert nodded, pursing his lips and grinning. The moment Hana left, "What happened?" Nabi asked anxiously. "Beau should start drinking human blood." "What??... He is drinking blood, isn't that enough?" "Yes...., but gradually he will lose vampire abilities if he doesn't consume human blood." A sense of confusion and ambiguity filled her face. However, she understood the main point and inquired, "What should I do?" "Olivia said that he isn't consuming human blood because of you." "What? Olivia? Why is she involved again? How can she say that? Does she think that I am forcing him to drink animal blood?" Nabi flared with anger. "No! No! Not like that." Albert imm
