Barrister Babu: One Shots- Until you Came.

Chapter 10: of Vampires and Werewolves [Part 1]

Bondita's POV:- (present day)

Have you ever heard of vampires and werewolves? Rings a bell, right? No? Maybe Twilight and The Vampire Diaries? No?

Then let me introduce you to my world.

Of vampires and werewolves.

Of witches and magic.

A world which couldn't be any further from the Modern Tech Age you're living in.

I am Bondita Das, a prodigious werewolf from a long line of Crescents, the highest ranking purebloods in the whole wide world. I'm also heiress to my kingdom, and a force to be reckoned with. My razer-sharp teeth are much deadlier than the bloodthirsty fangs of the vampires, and a drop of my venom is enough to put the Nightwalkers to eternal sleep, throw them into death's abyss. Then how did I come to fall in love with the Prince of the Nightwalkers, you might ask?

Let's go back in time a little bit...

October, 2020. When the weather started to turn a little pink...

Anirudh's POV:- (present day)

I, Anirudh Roy Choudhary, heir to my bloodline, am a Nightwalker. A vampire.

But I'm not the monster you think I am.

I've always loved the quietness of the night, the peace between kingdoms more than the blood they all prefer of werewolves on full-moon nights. I'm a pacifist, and I had wished for someone to understand. But then I met her, as fierce as scalding metal swords in battle, as magnificent as I've heard werewolves to be. She was much more than that, though. She also contained the joy of first rains after a long drought, and the bliss of a rainbow after the rains.

October, 2020. When the weather started to turn a little pink...

I was on a vacation in Kashmir looking for some souvenirs to take back home. A chilly afternoon, when I came across an emporium selling beautifully crafted shawls. As I was exploring the multi-coloured, multi-textured items, I got a glimpse of a gorgeous woman− silky raven hair, eyes as black as sultry kohl, broad shoulders and a tall stature, and a lovely smile with cherry-stained lips. She was probably doing the same thing as I, looking for some quality shawls to carry back home, gifts for her family and friends.

Then my eyes settled on a piece of treasure that rested in her hands− an off-white coat of wool embroidered with gold leaves seamlessly connected in an intricate pattern− it was the best shawl you could have ever imagined. My Kaka would LOVE it. Silently looking for an opening when she would let her guard down, I waited. Then it came, as she let go of the shawl, keeping it on a nearby shelf. I swiftly raced to the shelf and smoothly grabbed the lovely thing before she could notice. But before I could finish paying for it, she caught me.

"Trying to be too smart, are we, vampire?"
