Hours passed, professors appeared and disappeared.
**Lunch Break**
But still, there wasn't any reply.
Looking at the message sent time - "9:36", she uttered "Three hours!"
"What?" Nabi turned to look at Hana, who was following Beau and her.
Hana shook her head and forced a smile.
****
Ian was going through hell for those three hours too. Almost everyone in the class came to him to show him the post. As he always does, he didn't reply to any of them.
Though he was in an unpredictable commotion, his heart was grieving because of Nabi's relationship. The pain or turmoil that Hana was going through became invisible in his anguish. All the techniques or trails that he did to make Nabi fall for him were futile.
[I have been with her for most of my life. I know about her a thousand times better than that pale face guy who came into her life three days back. Nabi is not a person, who looks for handsome guys. Even if she
"6:00 pm, Smith Residency." Steve Smith: It's been a long time!!. Darrien: Ya!! Steve: I have heard about Beau from Albert. He didn't want to go to University today, so I asked him to stay at home to discuss. "Albert!!" Steve called out. Darrien: I was kind of flabbergasted and worried when I heard about his link. Steve: True!! Even I felt strange when Albert told me that his link had dreams about vampires since childhood. It was even weird that she is a Vampire fan. Darrien: What??? Fan??? Aren't people scared of us? Steve(chuckling): They were!!! Now they are writing and screening Vampire stories. Albert came out hurriedly covered with sweat and a shirt whose buttons were misplaced. His hair was messy, and his shirt was crumbled and looked like he did some exhausting work. Steve closed his eyes immediately with a glance and sent a mind voice, grinding his teeth to look himself in the mirror. In an inst
[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
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
[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
[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
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!"
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
"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,
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
