The Vampire Potion

Chapter 1: The BeginningThe street was empty and silent. Even the leaves of the trees were barely moving, as if the air itself was holding its breath. If the alley was filled with neighbors, everyone could notice the lightning above Hertford Manor. The people living in the lane next to Atrickvic Street couldn't hear the lightning; it was inaudible. The light would come and vanish in the blink of an eye. As if someone had a switch and was turning the light on and off repeatedly.Besides, people in Rome preferred to mind their own business, so they wouldn't look at the roof of other houses. And definitely not the manor belonging to Shier Hertford, the most well-known scientist in Italy and the owner of Atrickvic Street.Grabbing a handful of dark brown hair, he watched Becca wince in pain. Tears didn't seep out of her eyes; she had stoppe

Chapter 3: Weather ChangeAlexander was bewildered at the question Becca asked. He didn't move an inch, instead, he maintained his rigid invisible posture, thinking Becca was talking to someone else.Becca glanced at the brunette guy, wearing a long black coat that reached up to his knees. She saw his entire body stiffen, his fair skin going even paler."I asked, what are you doing here?" Becca repeated the question, which was clearly directed to Alexander, who gave her a blank stare. "I am talking to you, you know, the green-eyed brunette guy standing in front of me."Alexander delicately arched an eyebrow and asked, "Can you see me?"Becca rolled her eyes, hearing him. "Of course, I can see you. Why wouldn’t I?"

Chapter 5: Red EyesIt was a bright new day, a sunny one which humans loved, but the vampires hated the most. In order to avoid sunburns, Alexander wore his special ring, a ring designed for the vampires which protected them from sunlight like an invisible shield. Every registered vampire in the vampire realm would get that ring, which was known as Emerald because of the emerald stone encased in the ring. Alexander was at the restaurant outside his university, as instructed by Vanessa. He was waiting for Becca’s arrival. He still intended to ask her about the potion as soon as he met her. He wanted to complete his work sooner rather than later, after all. So, he waited quietly, sitting at a corner of the restaurant, not ordering any f

 Chapter 7: Empty ClassroomThe first period finally started after an hour’s delay. The teacher had some issues with his vehicle and thus, he informed the dean to give the freshers an hour's time to get to know each other before the class began. The empty classroom was packed with students now. The poetry teacher, Mr. Risorito, introduced himself politely and started the class. He reminded everyone that he was usually punctual, but when he came into the classroom; it was empty so he waited for all the students to join, which caused the delay.“He looks old,” mumbled Becca, glancing at the grey-haired teacher, his nose was pointed like an arrow. “He is old,&rd

 Chapter 9: Poem CompletionAlexander turned to Becca and said with an expressionless face, “Fine.” He didn’t argue further as he took a seat once again. It amused Lucas when he saw that Alexander actually calmed down with one touch from Becca. How can this be possible when Alexander is known as one of the most dangerous vampires because of his temper? Lucas wondered, still not believing what he saw right in front of his eyes.“Let’s not argue anymore and stick to unrequited love,” Becca beamed when Alexander didn’t protest on the topic anymore and she sat back on her chair. “Are you okay with it?”“Will you change the topic if I
