“Do you want to eat something, Anne? It is late night, but if you are hungry, I will prepare something for you to eat.” Ben’s mother asked me lovingly.“We already had pasta before we left Ben’s hut. He knows to cook very well.” I complimented Ben’s cooking skills.“I have taught him every skill necessary to stay alone in this world. He has faced a lot of challenges since his childhood. I used to go out for work, leaving Ben all alone at home when he was just two years old. When Ben’s father abandoned us, Ben was just six months old, and I had some savings left with me, but I could barely manage to manage the expenses for almost one and a half years. But soon I ran short of money, and I started looking for a job. I had to change my looks so that I could look different, and nobody was able to identify me. If they knew that I was the one who had married a vampire, then they would never offer me a job. I changed my hair style, dressing methods, and makeup so that I could conceal my ident
Ben flew very carefully, as he had reached the area where the pure vampires resided. He was afraid that if his uncle or the other pure vampires spotted him and identified him, they might either imprison him or get him beheaded. He sneaked into the vampire king’s mansion by reducing his size as much as possible to avoid being chased by his own uncle. Soon, he had reached inside the mansion and sat beside his ailing father.“I am sorry, Dad, that I got late. It was something really important, and so I couldn’t avoid that.” Ben apologized to his father.“I know your purpose, Ben. I am so happy that you are already married, but I am one of the most unfortunate fathers who doesn’t have enough luck to even meet his own daughter-in-law. I am paying for my own mistakes. There is nothing else that I deserve. I know that I have been wrong to all of you. I hope your mom is doing well.” Ben’s father said.“No dad! I can understand your situation at that time. I know that you were forced by the pu
“My wife Anne is the CEO of the company in which I work. She is very good at heart. I learned through my senses that Anne is my destined mate, so I decided to join her office as the MD and walked in for an interview. I was her destined mate, and so it was natural for her to have appointed me. She is the owner of Frank Automobiles Pvt. Ltd., one of the leading companies in the human world. We have worked together for its success, but there are a few miscreants in the human world who are too envious of our success, and so they attacked Anne. I saved her and brought her here. She is at Mom’s place. She knows that I am half vampire, and she still loves me. I hope our relationship never gets strained the way your relationship with mom got.” Ben informed his father about his life; in short, he knew that his father might perish at any moment.“I am happy to know that she accepted you the way you are. I just wish I could meet her before I perish, but I am being punished for my own sins. I hav
Ben converted himself into a small ball of light so that he would be able to reach his mom’s place in less than a second. His father was in his last stages and could perish at any moment. It was essential to fulfill his last desire so that he could rest in peace. However, Ben could hardly do anything as per his desire. He had enemies all around. His uncle was a pure vampire but possessed few magical powers. He had learned that from the witch so that he could use it to defeat his enemy. It was ridiculous, anyhow, that his greatest foes were his own people. He used it against his own brother or his nephew.Ben just started moving when he was trapped by a woolen ball. His uncle had thrown it in his direction so that he would be trapped in it, as he was in the form of light at that moment. Ben struggled to get out of the woolen ball around him. As much as he struggled, he got so entangled in the woolen ball. He somehow wanted to get rid of it. He managed to gain his original form so that
I was going to meet my father-in-law for the first time, and the feeling was great. I wondered what pure vampires looked like and how they were different from half vampires. Why did the pure vampires dislike half vampires to such an extent as to drive them away from their territory? I wanted to see for myself the difference. Ben was flying faster than light, and we reached the vampire king’s mansion within seconds, and soon I could see that huge structure right in front of me. It had three buildings. Each was taller than Joseph Andrew’s skyscrapers. I noticed that the mansion was deep inside the forest, and it seemed mysterious and haunted, just as they show in horror movies.I had heard of the vampires, but I had never seen them, and I was a little curious to know more about them, although I was frightened in some corners of my heart. I knew that Ben was there with me, and he would not let anything happen to me. He will always protect me, but I could still feel the lurking fear withi
Amidst the anguishing pain, Ben recalls that his uncle might be arriving at any moment and a terrible fight might ensue again, and so he seemed to make up his mind about something. I had spent some time with him already, and I could guess from his expressions that he was making some decisions.“Mom, pick up some ash from here as a memory of dad, and I will drop you back to your place. The situation here is going to be tense, and so I recommend that you return to your place, as it is dangerous for you to stay back. I will bring you here once I acquire the throne after completing all the formalities here.”“I am not going anywhere, Ben. I have decided that I will spend the rest of my life in this mansion. I want to repent for my mistake. I had been too rude to your father. I should have agreed to meet him once when he expressed his desire for the very first time. If I stay here, I will feel that he is around, and the feeling of his presence will make my life move. I don’t think I will b
Ben flew as fast as he could, fearing that Uncle Ronald might find some way out to break the shield around his mother and his wife. He was still worried about our safety. He flew straight to his mother’s place and gathered all the food items that he could possibly find in the house so that we didn’t have to starve ourselves. He then proceeded towards the wardrobe to collect his mom’s clothes. He realized that I didn’t have any extra pairs of dresses because he had carried me right from Joseph Andrews trap. He decided to buy a few sets of clothes for me while on his way to the vampire forest. If he were to buy clothes from the vampire market, all he would get would be long, black gowns, which obviously I wouldn’t wear.He gathered fruits, ten packets of bread, pasta, juice bottles, sauce, butter, chocolates, cookies, and vegetables that were available in the refrigerator. His bag had already become heavy. He then filled the remaining space in the bag with as many dresses as his mom cou
Uncle Ronald had disappeared from Ben’s sight, and he felt a little relieved as he could now fly without any hindrance, although the weight on his back was still making him slower. Finally, he reached the vampire forest and made his way through the vampire king’s mansion into the vampire king’s room. He was relieved to see that the shield was still protecting me and his mom.He had returned almost after two hours, and I managed to make two cups of coffee for me and mom. His mom was too depressed and was in no mood to converse with me or with anybody else. She wanted to be left all alone for a while. I had been waiting eagerly for Ben’s arrival, as the place was making me feel uncomfortable. I had been used to maids and servants attending to me even for the smallest of tasks, and I used to be surrounded by people around me for some work or another, as I was a successful woman. The media used to cover the smallest incidents occurring in my life, and now that loneliness was almost killin
As I woke up in the morning, I noticed that Ben had already prepared a folder and was getting ready to leave. I was filled with curiosity and couldn’t help asking him, “Ben! Where do you intend to leave the folder in your hand?”I will be going to the court today. I have already sent summonses to the vampire lawyers and the accused on behalf of the vampire king. I will be presiding over the court as the judge in my capacity as the heir of the vampire king. I can’t just allow Uncle Ronald and Frank to carry on their surreptitious activities for long. They tried to kill me already, and I don’t want to give them a second chance for the same. I will expose them in court.” Ben replied as I could see his eyes go red due to the anger and frustration that he had in his heart.“If you don’t mind, can I accompany you there? I want to see the procedure in the vampire king’s court.” I asked reluctantly, as I was afraid that Ben would refuse to take me along with him.“Sure! Anne. I want you and m
After a tough struggle, I felt extremely delighted to see that all my efforts had turned out to be fruitful. I could hear Ben’s moaning sound.“Anne, save me, Anne! The silver bullet has hit me. I will die!” His hands were still on his stomach while he exclaimed,.“Ben! You are alright, Ben! Nothing has happened to you. You are safe now.” I said as I held his hand, supporting him so that he could get up from the floor.“ He held his head and said, “Why am I getting this head ache, Anne? I feel that I will just faint. I am unable to be stable. I can’t even stand straight.” He said that, and I noticed that his legs were stumbling. I supported him again and helped him sit on the bed.“Oh no! What happened to mom? Why is she lying on the floor like that? Did she get attacked as well, Anne?’ He asked me, expressing his shock as he tried to get up from the bed to see mom, but he stumbled again and sat on the bed helplessly.“It’s nothing, Ben. She just fainted because she saw you in that co
I could drive smoothly across the narrow road that was formed in between the trees, as it wasn’t tread much by anybody. The vampires hardly used the land route as they used the air route generally, and that was the advantage I was having as none of them bothered to look at the land and the activities going on over there. I tried to look for birds and animals around in the forest, but to my surprise, there wasn’t even a single bird or animal around. Either the animals had left the forest in fear or the vampires had just killed them by drinking their blood.I was worried about the further obstacles that I would have to face while collecting the gas from the volcanic site. I wasn’t a science student, and I had no idea how to collect the gas in the gas syringe. I utilized the time spent in the car by doing some Google searches about the method of collecting the gas in a gas syringe. The car being technically advanced and the fact that I didn’t have to face any obstacles on my way made me
I looked helplessly at the spray can that didn’t have any hydrogen sulfide gas remaining inside it. I wanted to ask Mom about the solution to the current problem that I was facing, but she was unconscious already. I opened the pump of the spray can and jerked it over Ben, trying to pour the contents of the can, if any, over Ben, expecting it to work miracles, but what I got was mere disappointment as the can didn’t even have a drop of gas inside it.I looked sadly at Ben’s lifeless body lying on the floor of the room, and Mom lay unconscious beside his body. I was left all alone in the battle against the pure vampires. I had already expected an attack as soon as the pure vampire had eavesdropped on our conversation, but even before we could work out solutions or discuss it completely, Ben was already attacked. I was at a loss to understand what my next step should be. As a human and that too a female, all I wanted to do at that moment was weep, but I couldn’t afford to do that at that
His cozy arms provided me with sufficient warmth, making me feel better, and I had almost forgotten my fear that he was a vampire and might turn out sucking my blood. I felt a little normal and recovered from the shock that I had received while handling the invisible vampire that had entered our room. I wondered from where I had gathered the courage at that moment. I felt delicate and timid in Ben’s presence, perhaps because I trusted him and had the faith that he would not let any danger hover around me.Ben finished his coffee and walked towards his mother. “Ben, I know that something mysterious is happening around, and I have the right to know that, don’t I?” She asked him.“It is nothing, Mom. Everything is normal so far.” Ben replied calmly, trying to hide the emotions of anger, fear, and restlessness swelling in his mind all together.“Ben! I know you very well. Don’t forget that I am your mother. I can notice even the slightest change in your facial expressions and make out wha
Ben looked all around. In fact, he jumped towards the window to see who was listening to our conversation. We had been discussing something really confidential, and somebody else eavesdropped on the same, which was detrimental to us. We could not let any of the pure vampires know about his secrets in a situation where they were at loggerheads with Ben. He was extremely worried and wanted to find out who that was.He went near the window and sniffed. As a half vampire, he could sense the smell and identify the presence of a pure vampire easily. “Why don’t I feel the smell of a vampire here? You know, Anne, all I can sense is the fragrance of a deodorant over here. Whoever reached here had applied deodorant on purpose just to mislead me.” Ben said.“Who else other than Uncle Ronald can try to mislead you, Ben? I am almost sure that it is his work.” I asserted.Within a split second, Ben was out of the window, following somebody who was not visible to me at least.“Ben! Wait! That can be
I was scared out of my wits, and I tried to find solace in Ben’s arms. I turned out to be cuddling Ben. I placed my head on his chest gently and felt relieved as he stroked my head, trying to make me feel comfortable.“This is the reason I was saying that you should be returning to the city. This is not a place suitable for you to stay, Anne. You, as a human, cannot survive in this vampire world, as it is full of danger. Many of the vampires are evil over here. Only a few of them are really good at heart.” Ben tried to explain the situation to me. He seemed to be worried about our safety by now.“I know, Ben, that the vampire world is full of danger for me, but I trust you, and I believe that you will be there to rescue me from every danger that I am subject to.” I said I was trying to calm him down.“I will not be available always, Anne. If I have to fight these pure vampires, then I will get so busy that I will not be able to focus on your safety all the while.” Ben replied.“I unde
I looked at Frank through the bars of the cage. His skin looked paler than that of Ben, and his eyes had a darker hue. His lips looked as though they were painted red, and his thin body structure made him look as if he lacked the strength to fight, but that wasn’t the case, as I could see that he was brimming with energy and self-confidence. He was wearing a black gown that was worn by people in the eighteenth century.“How old-fashioned these vampires are. They know hardly anything about the prevailing fashion and trends. He would look like an idiot if he happened to be in the human world.” I thought to myself, trying to hide the laughter that was trying to show on my face.Ben, on the other hand, was wearing a black shirt and black trousers, although he had a gown on top of them to distinguish him from humans. He was so smart and handsome. His chiseled chest, broad shoulders, toned muscles, six packs, and an attractive, charming face made him the heartthrob of millions of girls in t
Ben produced another camera from his pocket. “Look at this, Frank. This camera has all the backups from the previous one. Do you feel that you have destroyed the evidence against you? It is still safely saved on this miniature camera of mine.” Ben said.Don’t worry, Ben! I will destroy that too within seconds. I will make sure that you have no evidence against me or Ronald.” Frank snatched the camera from Ben’s hand and again banged it on the floor. The camera was broken into pieces.“Ha.ha..ha.. Did you think that I would let you win? We have made a full-proof plan against the vampire king, and we are sure to grab his throne soon. Has he perished, or is he still alive?” Frank burst into laughter.“You will soon come to know everything, Frank. Have some patience. Don’t be under the illusion that you have destroyed all the evidence, because it is still safe with me, Frank. However, I will let you know about that some other time.” Ben produced a knife from his pocket and held it right o
