Hana dodged back hitting the stool, which squished.
Due to the noise Nabi awakened and moved her head impatiently having a hard time opening her eyes.
The doctor, who came to review took out a small touch and peeped into Nabi eyes, "She looks weak. We are provided her fluids to replenish but she should eat to do her daily activities", the doctor said and left abruptly.
"Beau, where are you? Just come to me. Why are you making me yearn for you? I need you beside me when I am struggling. Please Beau, please....", She thought and slipped to sleep.
Noticing tears rolling down, Albert took a tissue and wept them, "You will fine. Don't worry!" and patted her head. Looking at her dried lips, he started applying water to her lips with cotton. "I am so sorry for putting you in danger."
Suddenly they heard a growl from Nabi's stomach. "Can someone please go and get her something to eat", Albert pleaded with watery eyes.
"I will", Olivia said dis
"Not hard. Super hard!! Can you stand still without reacting when someone is asking or saying or cursing you? Moreover, it will be like bees buzzing around you. Too irritating!!!! In the initial days, when we were let out to gain control over our hunger, it was difficult listening to everyone's thoughts compared to controlling our carvings.""How did Beau gain control, while you couldn't?""Because he couldn't save...mmm....Nabi, it's a personnel thing. It would be better if you hear it from Beau.""What does Nabi want to know?", Beau asked standing near the open window, through which he entered."Come near me", Nabi sent a mind voice.The next moment, Beau was kneeling in front on Nabi with hands on his knees. "I am so sorry Nabi. I shouldn't have left you there. I left like a murderer the moment you collapsed, my palm was covered with your blood and my fangs.... were dripping blood. I thought I wouldn't be able to control myself if I touch you ag
Albert felt the ward asking Olivia to follow him. Hana was still warming Nabi's hands with a furious expression. Though she knew that she should be leaving too, but her heart wasn't ready to leave her only friend to a vampire.Beau understood her fear and decided to let her stay as he knew that it was very important to gain Hana's trust and support, Afterall she is Nabi's best friend."We shall speak in mind voice. If you are fine with it.", Beau asked her through the mind link."Sure... for now. But we shall do not play this stupid mind game again"Beau pursed his lips to prevent Hana notice his smile. He pulled his stool close to Nabi and continued pursing probably controlling himself this time. Though, his seat moved towards Nabi, his body seemed to stretch back. His face resembled a statue and was evident that he was controlling his breath. The nerves on his neck were swollen and his fingers were shoving into his thighs."From my knowledge, vam
The moment Nabi called Beau, he was standing before her. She looked in pain and flew her arms towards him wanting to be embraced in his arms. As the door was about to close, Hana was standing at the entrance with a worried look. She was clenching her hands looking at Nabi."Why did you bring her?", she whispered as her mouth twisted."How will you be able to climb your dorm stairs?", he replied near her ear."I don't want to go", she sulked, and her baby face was making his heart throb.It's all about self-control. The more you control, the safer your love, your partner will be. Don't look down, look at Hana who punched you a moment ago for hurting her best friend. You don't want more people insulting and kicking you right!!! He knew that he only has physical urge, but he didn't want to take a chance to go near her again.He swallowed and replied that his would come to her room with dinner without glancing at her.Even though, she was going
Noticing that Beau was talking to Hana, she slowly rolled from his arms pretending to be asleep. "God!! Why is it too hot? Forget that scene, you need to control your emotions. You have known your limit with him. You can't be tempted and make him regard later. We need to take it slow Nabi!!", she consoled herself embarrassed by the shocking experience. "Awww!!", she groaned holding her shoulder still closing her eyes. She was gripped by Beau immediately and a sense of relief escalated throughout her body. She smiled a little unconsciously blessed to have a person beside her, whose touch can relax and comfort her. Noticing Nabi being relived just by a touch, Hana was shocked and irritated on how her friend is still friendlier to such a brute, who hurt her thrice. "How is that idiot still happy? Her hand is aching because of this monster and still she dreams and smiles for him. Does she love him or is it because of that link?....Shitt!! It is because of
As Beau was removing the bedsheet, Nabi was obvious that she will be visiting the hospital again. Though, she wasn't afraid of being hurt, the fear that Beau might regret and leave her one more was piercing her heart. She didn't want to leave Beau and his absence was like a ride to hell. Beau completely removed the blanket and placed his palm over the band-aid. The touch of few cold fingers on her naked neck brought a jerk. Beau peeled out the bandage little by little with one hand and his other hand massaged the area the dressing left. "Did it pain, when I bit you?", Beau sent a mind link. Nabi was astonished to hear those words. A series of questions ran over her restless mind- Is he able to control my scent? Why is his speaking through link? Didn't I tell him, not to? Should I explain him the pain? Will he resent? "No!", she lied. Beau's eyes were filled with tears looking at the mark he left on his beloved one. He cursed himself for being
"I am hungry!!!", Nabi nodded and confessed looking at the soup bowl in embarrassment. Beau gently removed her arms from his neck and fetched the soup bowl. Feeding Nabi spoon by spoon, his thoughts wandered for ideas and solutions to make them live like a normal couple. He felt contented imagining several people who could help him. Sighing with relief, he laid his eyes on Nabi, who was also analysing their situation. Patting her head, he advised Nabi not to overthink. He promised that he would discuss and solve every problem that they have been facing with the help of his family and others. Nabi chocked hearing the word family. Realizing that she hasn't called her mom for the past two days, she explored the room with her tiny weak eyes. Not finding her mobile phone anywhere, she asked Beau to call her. Beau took out his iphone as commanded but realized that they haven't even exchanged their numbers. He felt completely shuttered noticing that they had
Stroking her head like a puppy, Beau asked why she was interested in vampire novels."Not just books, I watch series, movies and dramas too. Mmmm.....regarding why I am fascinated by them.....I don't know!! I just feel happy and content reading and watching about them", Nabi said thinking about her life being involved with vampires everywhere- boyfriend, dreams and interests too.On the other hand, Beau was also in chaos observing Nabi moving her hand freely without any pain, but he wasn't in contact with her. He was told by Albert that a vampire partner can relieve the pain and fasten the healing process. But the most astonishing thing is that her speed of recovery is similar to vampire. Recalling, Nabi's dream, her vampire hobby and her healing speed was like a miracle to him.Memorizing that Darrien that asked him to contact after checking, he dialled his number immediately as he was filled with multiple unanswered questions."Hi Darrien!"Nabi
Olivia and Beau stood by as they viewed the rarest scene - Darrien as a Vampire and their mother's tears. Olivia looked frightened as she didn't understand why they were acting weird. She seemed to analyze what the reason might be. "Darrien!!" Monica whispered in her soothing voice. Darrien reached her like a child and caressed her hand. "Oli!! Beau!! Come here", Monica said with an affiliative smile. Both of them kneeled beside her and held her left hand. Olivia was embarrassed for making the whole situation upset. "Oli!! Don't be upset! Mummy doesn't like you looking sad. You are the one who brightens up my day with your lovely smile and innocence. Don't you know that I like your chatty nature?" Monica said. Each of the words she uttered showed her affection towards her children. Though Darrien never specified how to address him, Monica always urged Beau and Olivia to call her Mom. She always looked after them as her children. Moreover, it w
After teasing each other for a while, both of them slept in each other's arms. The girl, who appeared like a xerox copy of Nabi with short hair, was lying without any moment. A pool of blood was under her head and wrist. She seemed pale as Beau drank up all the blood from her. Closing eyes and breathing deeply with satisfaction, Beau stood up. Opening his eyes, which turned red, he glanced at the girl lying unconsciously beside him. The wind rustled from the trees surrounding them, making her hair move slightly, displaying a butterfly tattoo on her nape. "Beautiful tattoo!!" he uttered. Suddenly his eyes widened looking into the forest, and he jumped over her, rushing into the woods. "What?" Beau uttered, waking from sleep. "Is this future or past? How could I hop and leave a dead girl in that condition?" Beau feebly groaned. Recalling the car model, which he had seen before, he confirmed that it was past. As far as he remembered, he first drank blood when Monica gave him a red
"What are you thinking when we are banging our heads to know how they knew about you?" Albert questioned, glaring at her. "What if they knew? Didn't Nabi tell us that they might have seen our information? Moreover, we can hear human's thoughts. Keeping an ear on the people around Ian is more than enough." Whatever Olivia mentioned was true, but cutting that discussion in the root was necessary. Reacting to such comments will only make the situation hotter. Not bothering them will make every student around keep a constant eye on them. However, compulsion could be done, if caught. Albert, Beau and Nabi's minds were filled with various thoughts. All of them were concerned that the vampire secret would be revealed if not taken care of properly. "What if Olivia or Ian comment that they were waiting for us to come from shopping?" Nabi suggested. "Ian doesn't even know that we are related. First of all, Why will he? The whole campus knows that he lov
"Just tell me, whose photos and why?" Beau intervened and interrogated, standing in front of her. "Me, Hana and Nabi along with Ian," Olivia uttered, biting her lower lip saying Ian's name. Hearing Ian's name, Beau's eyes narrowed, and his nose flared. "What? When did you all take a picture with him?" Beau yelled, grabbing the mobile from her. The phone displayed an article with the title, "University handsome chunk turned into a playboy." Below the bold heading, there were three pictures- 1) An old photo of Nabi and Ian. 2) Hana and Ian's picture, where they were facing each other near Computer Science block( Her dress remembered him the day of the incident when Hana refused that it was her in the picture.) Now, her face is visible as the photographer captured it from a different angle. 3) Olivia and Ian, laughing at the canteen table. Nabi, who seemed to have awakened due to the chaos sighed, weakly. "Why am I facing issues,
Even though his body was urging him to intake blood, his heart was pleading and throbbing him to save her. Untieing the knot Albert created on the napkin, he wrapped it around Nabi's wrist. He suddenly felt that he was in some trance as everything around him seemed clouded. He could see Albert rushing towards them as the scent vanished in thin air. "Nabi! Nabi!" Albert was calling, patting her cheek. Since there was no response from her, he raced, taking her into arms. But, before he left, he ordered Olivia to fetch Beau a packet of blood. Olivia, who was outraged few minutes, seemed to have steadied and disappeared instantly on Albert's command, leaving Beau alone. Everything that was going on was still blurry to him, and in addition, the voices appeared distorted too. Sitting beside a pool of blood, he tried to recall the things that happened in the past few minutes. Tears rolled down as he viewed Nabi's blood on the floor. He wanted to see her, but
In a split second, Nabi hand was few inches above Beau's face. The slit she made was dripping blood onto his lips. Albert slammed to a corner in a terrace in a flash. His eyes were pitch dark red, and his canines protruded. Although Albert is old, fresh blood from a human could make any Vampire freak out and lose one's mind. Even though it was tough for him to calm and compose himself, he was using all his strength to stabilize as it is his responsibility as an old one. "NABI!!" he shouted, holding his breath as tight as possible. She lifted her head and glanced the whole place to find Albert struck in a corner. It was the first time for Nabi to watch Albert in a vampire form. Her eyes bulged out, watching him but suddenly saddened looking at Beau. The main person for whom she cut herself wasn't even licking the blood on his lips. His heart and body seemed to be fighting intensely, which was making him insane. Body: "Fresh, Yummy Blood!"
[The next day, 12 pm] As Beau left for hunting, Albert came to Nabi, who was eating along with Hana. Albert: I need to discuss something urgent. (Uttering those words, he looked at Hana) "Should I disappear?" Hana asked satirically. Albert nodded, pursing his lips and grinning. The moment Hana left, "What happened?" Nabi asked anxiously. "Beau should start drinking human blood." "What??... He is drinking blood, isn't that enough?" "Yes...., but gradually he will lose vampire abilities if he doesn't consume human blood." A sense of confusion and ambiguity filled her face. However, she understood the main point and inquired, "What should I do?" "Olivia said that he isn't consuming human blood because of you." "What? Olivia? Why is she involved again? How can she say that? Does she think that I am forcing him to drink animal blood?" Nabi flared with anger. "No! No! Not like that." Albert imm
[Jones Resisdency] The moment Darrien entered the house, Monica came running to him. "What did Mr Smith say?" "Both of us think that Nabi is suspicious," he spoke vaguely emerged in his thoughts. "SUSPICIOUS? What do you mean?" "She not only has dreams about our kind but also has hearing and healing powers almost similar to us," Darrien replied, sighing. Though Monica didn't understand the whole context, she summarized that something was odd about her. "What should we do?" she worried, staring at Darrien, who himself looked helpless about the situation. "Should we separate them?" he responded absentmindedly. "WHAT?" she yelled, "First, cool down and will think about it patiently." Holding his hand, she brought him near the sofa and fetched him a glass of water. "I understand that you are thinking about his well-being, but is she that dangerous that you have you separate a link. You know, right? They didn
Olivia left the room with joy, uttering that she would then leave the lovers alone. Sighing, Nabi got up taking the newly brought night suit and headed towards the bathroom. The dress wasn't her style. It was a light blue cotton shirt with the same colour pyjamas. Both of them had kitten images and the word 'meow' written all over. She hadn't wore such a cute dress in her life. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was awestruck. The night suit, which Beau selected was perfect for her. She looked mesmerized, watching herself in the bathroom mirror. Recalling all the shopping scenarios of her 20 years, she didn't select at least a single top. Most of the time, it was her mom who shopped to make her little girl pretty. It was the first time that she selected three shirts. Though it felt like a proud moment, there was some uneasiness and doubt if her choices were good. However, the girl in the mirror was the only thing she could now put her concentrate on. She w
[8:30 pm] They reached the campus after having Nabi's Chinese food. She ran towards the cafe, telling him that she could purchase mid-night snacks. Beau followed her, carrying the shopping bags. The moment he took a few steps inside, Olivia's scent struck him. Vampires scent usually becomes more evident when they carry extreme emotions. He looked around and was stunned, seeing her with Ian laughing. Filled with confusion, he inquired, "What are you doing?" via mind link. The smile on her face disappeared upon hearing Beau's voice. She immediately replied, "Don't come here; he doesn't know that I am related to you." As he was concentrating on Ian's voice to listen about they were talking about, Nabi interrupted him and traced his line of sight. She rubbed her eyes twice to confirm what she was watching was real. She was dumb-struck to see her friend, who ignores every girl, giggling with Olivia. As she was about to take a step forward, Beau stopped her
