Star yawned and stretched her body. She opened her eyes and looked around as her eyes fell on Xavier who was working out in a corner where few equipments were placed for this purpose.
"I don't know who is more miserable among us."
Xavier stopped running and turned off the machine. He came down and looked at her.
"Of course it's you."
Star lazily rolled her eyes and sat up. Xavier didn't have much to do in this room. Either he will watch movies or work out.
"This chain." She pointed towards the black coloured chain which was connected to the coller in his neck.
"I sincerely wish that one day you become free of it."
Xavier looked at her who has an innocent smile. For a second, he felt something inside him but he quickly shook his head.
"This is not going to work, little fox."
Star kept smiling while inside she was screaming. She shouldn't have told him her secrets. Now he knows about her cunning nature.
"I am really sincere with you. I feel bad for you. We both are alike , don't we." She got up from the bed and walked towards him. She stood in front of him and smiled brightly.
"Don't worry baby, even I am going to die, I will try to help you."
Star chuckled.
"I will take a bath now."
After she left, Xavier was standing dumbfounded with a strange emotion in the pit of his stomach. She was affecting him, she started affecting him and now he was scared.
What if she was using him? What if she left him too just like Jessica?
May be he should just throw her out of this room. He did not want to trust anyone because it hurts when your trust is broken.

"I want to buy this dress."
Few minutes ago, Xavier was busy in online shopping but right now he was wondering how Star was sitting beside him, nearly in his lap and how he went from me section to female. Either this girl was too smart or he was too dumb.
"Vina has a same dress but in different color. It looked good on me."
She wanted to order that dress and to gain his attention, she placed her hand on his shoulder and rubbed her thumb on his arm unintentionally. Or maybe not, no one knows what's on her mind.
"Don't you hate Vina?" he tried to ignore the sensation in his body.
"No, of course no. Why would I hate you?" Star was confused over his question.
Xavier thought for a second and turned towards her facing her in such a way that he could easily see any change of expression on her face.
"They why you put her name on the list."
"Come on. It wasn't because I hate her. It's something else. Why would I hate her? Girls don't hate each other. I was just angry on her.
But you know what, when we were here outside the room, I wished she could be safe. I wanted her to be safe."
Xavier knew that she wasn't lying.
"In orphanage, we need each other. We all were a family and she always cared about me."
"And still you hate her?"
"I don't. You won't understand. Even if we don't like each other, we still want them to be safe. Well, you won't understand. You are a man."
Xavier sneered.
"What it is with a man?"
"You haven't gone outside for a long time so you won't understand." Star shook her head but soon realized her mistake as Xavier's face became gloomy for a second.
"I am sorry." She held both his hands while Xavier felt a strange feeling in his stomach.
"Don't worry, I will help you get out of these chains."
Star smiled brightly while he pulled his hands out of his grip.
It felt strange. She was affecting him.
"Xavier, order that dress." Star quickly tried to gain his attention. He had money and she needed money. By the look on his face, she was sure she start having some effect on him.
He heard her calling his name and he quickly came out of his thoughts.
"I look very pretty in this dress. I will wear it on our date."
"Who said I will take you on a dare?"
He chuckled while Star took his phone and start placing the orders.
"Don't worry. I will take you on a date. No, we can have a date in this room. What do you say?"
" You...?
I can't with you Star."
.
He shook his head in disappoinment making Star chuckle.
"You know what? This room is too boring. I will buy some fairy lights too. Oh, and also some flowers."
She completely ignored him and start telling him about her plans.
Now she had money and a rich boyfriend. She was going to milk him as much as she can so she won't have any regrets when she die.
...................
A man was looking at the screen where he could see a girl talking to his son. As Xavier laughed the man also couldn't stop himself from smiling. It's been decades since he saw his son smiling. He needed to protect her at any cost even if he had to go against the rules. He could feel that the girl can save Xavier from the chains. Suddenly someone knocked at the door and he quickly turned off the laptop. No one except him knew that the room has a camera. Jessica entered the room and greeted him. "How was your trip Jessica?" He tried to act polite with her even he didn't want her to be here. "It was great." She smiled and the man got up from the chair. "Uncle, I came to know that you wanted another blood pet for Xavier. But he still has one." "Let's talk about it later. I have to go somewhere now." He gave her a hint that she needed to leave the room. Both of them came out and Javes left without saying much. What he could say to her when she was the selfish one. Jessica saw him
"What's your relationship with that lady who tried to kill me?" Star was trying hard to make Xavier distract from his thirst. She looked successful in her efforts as she was still alive. Xavier who had a glass of blood in his hand was still in looking at Star with eyes of an hungry lion. The blood from refrigerator wasn't as much tempting as the blood running in her veins. Xavier closed his eyes and sighed. "Ex." "Ex?....Like an actual ex." "Yeah." He opened his eyes and glanced at Star. He couldn't understand why she was looking so delicious. So delicious that he wanted to sank his fangs in her neck. "You had a......you had a girlfriend. I can't believe this. You lied to me." Xavier lazily rolled his eyes as Star looked gloomy and sad. "It's been forty years. You haven't born then." Star scratched her eye brow. It wasn't they were in love but still he was his boyfriend right now. Her first boyfriend and she got him after a lot of hard work. "You are not going back to her."
Xavier looked at the clock and quickly pushed Star away who was hoping hugging him tightly.It was nearly mid night and he knew what he will become soon."Go to....that corner.....""But...." Star tried to say something but Xavier quickly stopped her."You will be safe there.......Let me tell you one thing little fox, if you survived tonight....then.....I love you ......more than....my life." Xavier smiled painfully."What if I didn't?""Then my inner demon is more strong than you..."Star bit her lip. There was no way she was going to survive tonight. She looked at the painting and pressed her lips together. Why he wasn't helping her? Star leaned and placed a kiss on Xavier's lips."Thank you for everything. Even if I die, I won't have any regret.""Little fox..." Xavier scoffed..................Javes was returning towards his mansion. He needed to reach there before midnight.He pressed his temples and looked outside the window."I wish, she could save him." He thoughtAs soon as
Xavier bit inside of his cheek as he remembered how he was trying to attack Star. It all started for a little fun but now he really wanted to be with his little fox.Finally he got up and walked towards her who was sitting in the corner while her head was burried in her knees. He could hear faint sobbings.He sat as close to her as the chain allowed him. "Star." Star slowly lifted her head. She was crying from past two hours and this Vampire just now decided to ask if she was okay."Don't cry." Xavier looked in pain.Star rubbed her cheeks."Why? Does it make your heart ache."No, you look ugly."Star who was about to begin her session of crying, stopped and glared at him who was looking at her innocently. "You, you.....go away you nasty vampire. Go and burn in hell."She turned her head away and pouted angrily."I am sorry." Xavier tried to move towards her but the chain didn't allowed him."Come on. I didn't mean that.""Go away.""You are really beautiful.""I am not listening.
Javes stared at the phone screen while a frown formed on his forehead. A few moments ago, he received a call from the Vampire council who wanted to test Xavier's ability to control himself. If he failed this time there would be no returning back. They were going to end him.He grabbed the phone with such force that it's screen broke into tiny pieces. It was Jessica. He knew it was her but he couldn't do anything.He made a deal with council to let Xavier live and there will be no killing. But after the last night event where Xavier killed the girl, the council wasn't going easy on him.Xavier was a mutant Vampire as his mother was a human. He was born with Vampire genes and he was strongest among all. He was born to rule but due to his strong inner vampire, the council was scared of him.Javes sat on the chair and looked at the screen where Xavier and Star were fighting with each other like little kids. It was first time he saw him that happy.Javes believed that Star can be Xavier's
"No. I don't want to go. Please don't go. .....hik....please......" Star cried while tightly holding on his shirt. As Javes explained everything to her she wasn't able to control herself. She was scared that Xavier won't be able to return.Xavier patted her head and tried to free himself from her grip."Don't go." Star looked at him with wet eyes and his heart ached seeing her in this miserable condition."Star....... don't do this." He sighed."Then, promise me, you will come back. Promise me. You will control yourself there and you will prove to those pigs that you are strong."Xavier chuckled and hugged her one last time. He didn't promise her anything which he knew he won't be able to do."Go with dad." Xavier broke the hug and creased her cheek. He didn't want to lose her too but the fate wasn't allowing them to be together.He fell on his knees as Star left with Javes. He felt empty and his heart was aching. The pain was making him numb. He felt like someone was stabbing his h
One year later."One cappuccino and one strawberry cheesecake."Vina placed the slip in front of the barista and smiled. Max picked it up and went towards the coffee machine.It's been an year since she started working here. They were in a relationship from past seven months.Suddenly a sound of crashing came from near the exit door and both of them looked at each other."Star." They both said together and ran towards the door.As they reached there they saw Star throwing empty glass bottles on a man next to her. The man was trying his best to save himself."If I ever saw you here again I will put acid in your eyes, you half faced hedge pig."She shouted at him while throwing daggers with her eyes.Vina quickly walked towards her and pulled her aside. Right now Star was in a bad mood because of the man standing in front of her."What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" Vina scolded her who pouted and turned away from her. Vina shook her head."Johnson, why don't you go inside?"
Star yawned and pulled the glass door to enter inside the cafe. She wasn't able to sleep last night and she had a busy day in book shop.She stopped seeing their owner talking to Max. She moved closer to listen what they were talking about but he turned at the same time making her startled. She quickly greeted him who chuckled and flicked at her forehead. He was an old man in his fifties."Star, how are you?" "Happy, like always." She smiled brightly and held the crescent in the chain which was hanging around her neck. It was a habit since she got that chain."Oh, you found it." The old man nodded his head. "Yeah, Johnson had it."Johnson opened a flower shop few months ago near the cafe.The old man patted her head."I sold the cafe. We are moving to the farm house." Star nodded and smiled. The old man always wanted to shift to village with his wife. She was happy that he was able to make a decision about it.After her previous owner left, she turned towards Max who was cleaning t
