Life is short. Sometimes I wish to have immortality, but according to Rafael, there is no such thing as immortality,even vampires face extinction. Nothing then in this world can be considered permanent, nothing can stay as it is for a lifetime, everything is temporary. I never thought that life could be this unfair, that it will get messy sometimes. But, as I continue this life I came to realize that we should be still thankful that some moment in life we feel that when someone leaves us behind, someone elses will be there to show us that life must go on, that life is a sweet sour taste of existence.

"How did you become a vampire?",I asked Rafael on the second evening we spent together.

"It's a very long story. You don't want to know.", it seems that he doesn't want me to know his past.

"If you don't want to tell me your story just tell me who turned you. Please?", he sighed and after a moment of silence, he answered my question.

"The first one of us, our Superior.", I burst out laughing and I looked at him.

"You mean, Dracula is real?",then I giggled.

"That is just one of his names, he is more known to me as Vlad Thepes.",this is going creepier than I expected.

"Is he still alive?"

"Technically he is dead. I have never seen him. When he turned me I was dying in a Viking War. He left me and never taught me how to survive this hunger."

"How many people have you killed?"

"A lot I guess."

"We have to drop this topic. I don't want to know everything."

"You still think that I killed Markie?"

"No. I am afraid to know your demon side.", I kissed him gently and leaned on his broad shoulder. He kissed me softly and kissed me in the forehead.

"Goodnight Ms. Simple."

"Goodnight Mr. Mysterious."

"Mr. Clark, goodmorning. Can I ask something?", it has been 5 days since my father and mother went for a seminar.

"My mom and dad should be here at least yesterday Sir."

"The last time I talked to them was when they were on their way home. Let me call them up."

"I have tried calling for many times now Sir but their phone is unreachable.", the principal called up the in-charge in the seminar.

"Hello Mrs. Genarson, I would like to ask if the couples I sent for the seminar already left your vicinity?.....Ok than you Mrs. Genarson. Have a nice day.... Karl your parents left the town last Wednesday evening. Maybe they went somewhere else, I will tell you whenever I have news."

"Thank you Mr. Clark. I'll go now.", I went outside thinking that nothing bad happened to my parents.

"Hello Karl, would you like to accompany me buy the new book on French language."

"I am not sure about that Marco....", I was not able to continue my words when my phone rang.

Hello, who is this."

"This is Chesterfield police department, is this Karmilla Santixarex?",I was shocked by the idea that the police is calling me for the first time.

"Yes,speaking."

"Please come over to see the bodies of a man and a woman who met an accident near the river. Thank you.", the line was cut and I started crying.

"Why?What happened,love?",Marco asked me with compassion.
