Danial: The Vampire

Danial's POV:

"Hey Danial, stop... Listen to me.... Danial."

Neeli spoke loudly and ran fast behind Danial, but he did not listen and also did not stop. Their speed of running is so fast that in a minute they cover two miles, then the speed of Danial is greater than hers. She looks older than him. After some minutes, Danial stopped on the top of a hill to cross all the forests and icy hills. And then behind him she also stopped and again started to speak:

"Listen to me Danial, I know you are right... But it's not according to our rules. We all have to do this. You have been a vampire for 200 years and you have your own success, then why do you want to die just for this little thing? It's not your fault. It's just an accident."

Danial went into full anger and roared horribly so that his voice echoed in the whole forest and another side icy hills.

"Why don't all of you not understand? I don't need this life anymore. I want to die. I want to get out of this hell of our vampires."

Danial spoke in full anger and in a horror voice.

"I know. We all want to get rid of this life. But it's not in our hands. No one of us is able to do anything."

Neeli went near to him and held his shoulder in her hand just to make him relax.

"You are not my real mother, but you are better than her. You know that I don't want to do that."

Danial started weeping, the tears came out of his eyes. He becomes red when weeping and looks more handsome. Neeli took his head onto her heart and started moving fingers in his hair. And stop him from crying. The tears of his eyes are red, which do not so readily come out from the eyes of a normal man.

His aunt again started to speak and said:

"Hey hey Danial. Why are you crying? You are my loveliest child and everyone knows you didn't do it by yourself. It's an accident. Just forget it."

"That's the problem. You don't all understand. I can't forget this."

"Dear, they are humans. They are born to die. If they die accidently, then it's not your fault. Their fate was written to die in an accident."

Danial moved back from her chest and left the grip of her and stared at her, his red eyes anger. And said:

"You know that is the difference between us and other vampires. We love humans, we live with them, we study with them, but we never think about killing them or eating them. While other vampires are not like that. They always used to kill humans."

Neeli gave him a smile and put her hands on his face and held his face and said:

"Yes, my dear, we are different. You are different. You are brave."

"No, I am not."

"No, my dear, you are. You are brave and talented and loving and innocent of all of us."

"You always give me strength. Whenever I am disappointed, you hold me. But this time I broke from heart and I didn't know what to do, just to die."

"No, my dear. You are a brave man. You have to hold and collect yourself and to face everybody."

"What????" Danial showed different expressions at a time. "What are you saying to face everybody?????"

Neeli took a deep breath and sat on the hill and held his hand and said:

"Sit here..."

"No, I don't want to. Just give me the answer."

"My dear Danial, just sit and relax, then I'll tell you everything."

Danial sat near her and constantly looked at her with strange eyes and wanted an answer.

"You know, many years ago we made rules."

"Yeah, I know and I remember everything."

" OK. That's good. In those rules, we said that if any vampire murdered by our family kills or murders a human, it does not matter by himself or by accident, he has to give an explanation to the whole vampires' city in jirga."

"Yeah, I remember and I also remember that they said they caught that vampire and took him into the cage for three years. It's not easy."

"Yeah, yeah, we decide this."

"So, they give me that punishment and that's why I prefer death to that punishment."

"No, my dear. You can do this. It's not your fault. It's an accident."

"But you know, none of them accept this."

"Why? Why do they not accept? They have to accept it."

Neeli put her hand on his neck and continued speaking:

"Danial, I always usually say to you and today, I again say to you that only speaks truth. Never tell a lie. If you speak the truth and clear everything a little point by controlling your anger and temper, then nobody will defeat you."

They were still talking about it when his sister got there and said:

"Mr. Nelson calls both of you. The vampires from the whole city came and sat together. They are just waiting for you to start the jirga."

"Ok, Elle. We went there."

"Ok Danial. Now, stand up. We have to go."

Elle is younger than Danial and she is so playful and naive, she understands everything and loves humans and her family, which is not her real family, but they have loved her so much for years. As well as being so talented that the head of their family, Mr. Nelson always made suggestions to her.

Elle said with her very polite and sweet voice:

"Hey Danial, can we do a competition with Miss. Neeli from here to the house."

Danial also loved her so much that he never denied what she said. And said:

"Why not my sweet?"

They all laugh and start running. Danial is faster than all of them, all of them, but he is always used to giving success to Elle. His behavior towards Elle is like a younger sister and he loves her so much. They ran fast and fast from each other and climbed the trees and many hurdles. Elle always used to run through the trees from one to another and speak with each other and laugh.

They always show polite behavior towards Elle even though they are in too much trouble and tension, but they never disappoint Elle. Finally, after a few minutes, they reached the house and laughed together.

Elle said by laughing:

"I reached here first."

"Yes, my sweet, you are the fastest one of all of us and you always win."

"Come on Danial, you always used to say that I am faster, but in reality, you are."

"Okay guys. That's enough. Come on Danial, go and take a shower and get fresh and think about what I said."

"Ok Aunt Neeli. I'll do that. I hope they understand me and make the right decision, but I will tell you if they will give me punishment. I ran out of this place and never came back until they knew the truth."

"But you know, Danial, they will find you, it does not matter where you will be."

"I know it. But I have a place where nobody finds me."

"What?? Where???? Which place??"

Neeli became panicked when she heard about a place. Because he never hides anything from Neeli and this is the first time he hides something from her and doesn't tell her.

"I ask something, Danial. Tell me the answer."

"No, I am sorry. I don't want to tell you anything. Not just about you. I actually just don't tell anything to anyone."

Danial went to his room and closed the door. Neeli stood outside and just saw that he didn't take any step which would cause his death or anything which would be horrible and damage him.
