My neighbour is a vampire

He doesn't eat garlic

Today I was talking to my only friend. She is a huge fan of supernatural fictions. I could've directly told her that my neighbour is a vampire and asked her for points but I love my friends and family and I can't put them in danger.

And she most probably won't believe me, and will think that I have finally gone insane like she had always predicted.

So, I asked her about vampires and she told me that the vampires of the modern era are different from the classic stories we know. Like they are not scared of crosses anymore. But they still hate garlic. They can consume food and water.

With this new information the first thing I did was to cancel my order for the cross necklace and cross signs I ordered a few weeks ago.

The thought never crossed my mind that how useless these crosses will be. We live in India and the probability of my neighbour being a Christian is actually lower than him being a royal heir.

On my next visit to the departmental store I bought a lot of garlic. Pranit gave me a weird look when I was buying the whole packet of garlic. Well the cashier gave me a weird look too but why did Pranit give me that look?? That's suspicious. Very suspicious.

On the way home it looked like he was holding his breath throughout the drive. So for my safety's sake I put the box in the back seat. Don't want him to attack me right here. I wouldn't be able to fight back. We ate a lot before shopping.

The next day I woke up early in the morning. 9 o'clock. When my neighbour is working out in his lawn, I am working in my kitchen. After 2 failed attempts I finally succeeded.

' Mr. Vampire, wait and watch how I make you confess on your own. '

I again saw a crazy smile on my face in the small mirror of the kitchen. Better take it off the wall in the afternoon.

I sprint my way towards my neighbour's property. Like the little red riding hood walking towards her grandmother's house to give her food. Since that day he caught me spying on him with my binoculars he moved some of his gym equipments to the lawn.

He thought I won't figure out what he is doing. But I am not stupid. I know why he works out without a shirt or why he keeps looking towards my house while lifting those dumbbells.

HE'S FLEXING HIS BODY!!!

As a human that's the worst you can do to another human being who is insecure about his body. Oh I forgot. He's not a human being.

I am already fed up by girls calling me small and cute. Now my EXTREMELY hot neighbour is showing off his body. I bit my bottom lip in anger and broke the pen that was in my hand.

He must have saw that because he stopped and went back inside. Huh?? Scared already??

Anyways. Back to today. When I entered his lawn he saw my big smile.

" Something good happened? " Pranit asked, copying my smile.

' Oh, something good is about to happen. '

" Yes. I made lemonade and this for you. " I opened the box and showed it to him. I couldn't remove the big smile stuck on my face.

He looks at the content on the plate before running inside his house. Did my garlic bread woke the beast in him? Is he going to get his sword?? Is this my last day on earth???

Mummy. Papa. Sorry I made a scene about the adoption paper. I love you. Pramaan, my baby bro, remember to clear my browsing history when I die.

While I was mentally bidding farewell to my family. I hear some bizzare sound coming from the inside of the house.

' Is he…..? '

I rushed towards the bathroom.

' Yes he's vomiting '

" I can't eat garlic. " He said, sipping on the lemonade after the whole ordeal.

Of course you can't. You want me to believe you it's not a big deal? But he does look sick. What if it's an act? I can't be sure until I feed him some.

Hence the next day I made a sandwich without using the garlic I bought. Instead I used the garlic butter I bought by chance. The smell of butter was strong and weird but when I cooked it, it didn't give out any smell of garlic. Perfect. He will never know!

I think he knows. He's been staring at the sandwich sitting on the plate for a while. I can't take it anymore. I pick up the sandwich and hold it in front of his mouth.

" I put a lot of effort into making it. Won't you take a bite? Please? " I gave my most innocent look. And it worked!! He took the smallest bite in the history of biting.

I looked at him to notice any change. He gave me a smile and a thumbs up. I guess I was wrong. Suddenly his face turned red and tears formed in his eyes.

" I'm allergic to garlic. " Pranit said, drinking a mysterious red liquid after the whole ordeal.

In conclusion - He's a vampire.

But one thing is for sure. I almost killed my neighbour. How will I apologise now?
