CHAPTER 2

Vladimir’s POV

“Are you really sure? I told you I have not seen the girl. I saw no one, ”Van said with conviction. I told her about the girl, the new student.

“Who is she? What’s the name? ” Via asked. "There was also a new student in my class earlier, maybe they are the same."

"Cassandra." I plainly said. That’s what I remember when she introduced me after she sat down. The professor told her to sit next to me since it’s the only vacant seat.

“Oh, the girl with the strong blood. Cassy. ”

"Cassy, ​​are you close?" Van asked, wondering.

“Yeah, I was next to her earlier. I even invited her to have lunch with us - oh there she goes. ” Via waved and then shouted Cassy's name.

I didn’t dare to look. I was busy stopping my stomach from circling. I don’t know, I don’t get why I’m suddenly nervous. Is that because I knew she knew about us then my sister is innocently trying to be friends with her.

She loves being friends with strong blooded humans, not that she has the intention to drink their blood. She feels that those kinds of people need protecting because their blood is stronger. Prone to half-bloods because when half-bloods drink their blood, they get stronger.

As for us, we can suppress our desire because we are used to drinking animal blood. But we still need to drink human blood because it makes us strong so sometimes, when we feel like we are weak we buy blood on the red bank and drink it. At least, it wasn’t illegal.

“Hi Cassy, ​​sit beside my brother. Vlad, are you classmates right? ” She smiled as a response to my brother. "And this is Van, my brother too."

Van just waved at him and was silent for a moment.

She really got that blood, the rarest of them all.

She was already busy talking with my sister when I stood up. They both stopped and I just said that I finished eating even though I haven't touched my food yet. I know, the food is just a disguise because we don’t really eat. When I look at her, it seems like she is sad because I am leaving or I was just hallucinating again so I ignored her.

I went outside. I'm irritated. It's easy for me to get bored and irritated. And I get irritated whenever I see that woman. I'm annoyed for reasons I don't know. My stomach kept on circling over and over again and almost vomited. I never felt this feeling before. Am I nervous? I don’t know. I don’t know and I don’t get it, that's why I’m annoyed!

I went to my usual place, the garden which is far away from the cafeteria and our building, though I like spending my time here because it’s quiet. Not many people come here because the garden is too old and in a secluded area of ​​the school. It’s also not very well so a lot of grass grows. There was a rumor that there was a ghost here which for almost a year of my stay here I still haven't seen. Not that I care, I just like sleeping in here because there is no nuisance.

It was after a minute when I smelled her blood. Strange. I don't have to open my eyes just to find out who. I felt her standing in front of me.

"Hi," she greeted me as I kept my eyes closed. "Don't you remember me?"

I do, I thought to myself. I remember very well that you suddenly disappeared in front of me last night. I don’t even know how you did that.

"I saw you last night," she started. I restrained myself from moving and staring. I can’t kill her. We don’t kill people. I would just ask Via to change her memories, after all they’re friends. Good thing, it would be easy for Via. "With your brother, and with a unique creation of God."

I felt that she moved a step forward. I estimated she was only two steps away from where I was lying.

“But that wasn’t it. You see me before that too. ”

I couldn’t hide my frown when she said that. I kept my eyes closed as I tried to remember where else I had seen her but I couldn’t get it out of my memory until she said three familiar words to me.

"One, four, three."

I opened my eyes as soon as she said that.

I still haven’t figured out the magic she used every time she disappeared in front of me.

I went back to the cafeteria, to my surprise she was there with my sister and brother like she never even moved an inch. They were actually enjoying their conversation about something when I approached them.

I raised an eyebrow, I couldn’t hide the disbelief. "Did you just come back?"

They all looked at me.

"Duh, we didn't leave here." Via said, rolling her eyes. “Where did you go? Why did you leave all of a sudden? ”

"I slept," I replied. "I'll go."

I no longer waited for them to answer. I still can’t believe it. It can’t be. I hate it. She didn’t leave here? Am I just dreaming? I know for sure that I am not asleep. I felt her. I even smelled her.

Am I just hallucinating?

I decided not to tell it to my family yet. Not today, I still want to know her whereabouts before I consider her a treat to us. It would be good for her to be my sister's friend so I could watch her, she could watch her. And one more thing, I need to know her. I heard her say those three words. It always appeared in my dream, in my past.

I didn’t grow up as a vampire. I grew up normal or just what I thought. I was a human when I was a kid - real kid. My parents sealed my blood along with my brothers and sisters to save us from the ancient war.

When I was 18, that was the first time I found out about vampires. I remember how scared I was while being chased by a vampire and I thought that was my last day. But the bite actually made me remember who I was when I woke up.

I will never forget that night, because I heard those three words coming from the voice of a girl and it always haunts me every night.

Is she that girl? But that was a long time ago. I can’t even remember the girl and can’t even say the reason why she appears in my dream. Maybe she was a part of me.

I went straight to the admin office where the school's CCTV monitors were located. Stan opened up to me as he focused on the computer, behind him were the large monitors connected to all the CCTV cameras of the entire university. Stan Fear is my cousin. His family and my family always moved together so he also moved here to school with me.

Stan started working as one of the admin and was assigned to guard the school and it was our advantage because we have someone to look at us inside the university. He monitors the CCTV, it was easy for him to manipulate things that flow through current. That’s his gift.

That’s why I asked him to check out the CCTV in the cafeteria. I want to make sure if Cassandra didn't really leave.

"You only visit me when you need something," he said. “Why do you need the footage?” he said as someone pressed the keyboard. I approached the monitor and looked at the footage from the cafeteria after he adjusted the time.

The camera was not focused on the table where we were staying. I watched the entrance, I saw her enter and was waiting if she came out alone but no. My sister is not lying, she did not come out. I only saw her come out when she was with Van and Via. I know she’s with them because I can see two blurry shadows. That’s how we appear on camera, we become blurred shadows.

"Who's the girl?" he asked. "Do you like her?"

"No," he said quickly. "She saw me last night with Van fighting lowkie."

"She's a threat."

I shook my head. “I am not sure. Don’t tell them yet, let me handle it. I still need to know something.”

"What, is it worth lying for?" He eyed me.

“I still can’t figure it out. She disappeared right in front of me. ” I told him all the details.

"You gotta be kidding me!"

“I’m not. So can you please monitor her every day and when you find out that she’s a threat, report her. ”

"Okay, noted."

“One thing, I would like to get her profi ---“

“Done that,” he smirked. “Cassandra Yiel. 18 years old. March 28, 1995, and #000 Heaven Street, oh that’s weird. She was accepted here with just that information. She must be something.”

“There is nothing else and where the hell is heaven street. Does that even exist? ” I said, frustrated.

“That’s all I could find, Vlad. If you want to know, go ask her. ”

I will.
