My Monster 👿

44 - My Monster found her dead princess.

I looked at the women sprawled on the bed sleeping peacefully. I have to take her back to Malhotra Mansion. 26years, 26years of bearing the pain of losing her. 26 years to come in terms with her untimely demise. When I was finally moving on from her, she is back in my life. Nandini Taylor who supposedly died 26 years ago is here as young as before, now as a Vampire.

Yesterday After having great time in bed, Nonu and I joined the others downstairs to watch a movie. We all were engrossed in TV when a sudden phone call disrupt all of us. It was my phone, checking an unknown number I ignored it but the other person was too consistent and kept on calling. Nonu forced me to pick up stating this could be urgent. When I picked the phone, "Manik..." I heard a very familiar voice on the other end.

I could recognize her voice even after hearing it after 1000 years. That voice was once imprinted on my heart, on my mind. "Manik, please come and get me..." That's all she said and my heart twisted. She was sounding tensed, broken. Nandini is alive? I can't wrapped this information around my head. She died in my very arms. How can this be possible? I have to see her to believe this. Phone was disconnected long ago, there was a location sent in message from the same number. It was near Shimla. Wait Shimla?

Without exchanging a word with anyone I took off. I have to reach Shimla. I have to see for myself to believe this. The distance to Shimla felt like too much. After hours I finally reached Shimla. Heading straight to the location I have received. It was a small two story house. I knocked on the door but no reply came. What if all of this is some sort of prank? What if I found no one here? Before I could change my mind and run out of the door. I tried to twist the knob and surprisingly the gate was unlocked.

I entered inside with a quiet and calculating steps. There was no one in sight. The house looked like any other ordinary house. I step forward when I found a movement in my left, I turned around to see a women standing in the kitchen. My heart stopped beating that moment, can it be? Is she Nandini? As if sensing my presence the women turned around and I gasped. "Nonu?" What the hell? Her eyes met mine and her lips curved into a smile. I took another moment to watch her and no she wasn't my Nonu, her eyes were brown.

Realization hit me hard, she is Nandini Taylor sister of Vicky Taylor. "Manik..." she lunged herself into my arms but I was too shock to respond. It was like I am rooted to my place. How could this be possible. How is she alive? And how the hell she is as young as I saw her last time. Shouldn't she be aged? Just like Sia and Vicky? Sensing my robotic self she distanced herself from me. "Aren't you happy seeing your kitten Manik?" She smiled, same smile that I use to adore 26 years back. But today I couldn't feel anything. I left my kitten at home, she must be so worried.

"How?" I asked with unease while she chuckled bitterly. "Destiny had bitter plans for me. I have hated my life everyday for past 26 years but even after going through all this, I am happy that I have found you again and soon will reunite with my family too. You will take me to them nah Manik?" She asked hopefully whilst I nodded. Destiny sure is playing games with me right now. I looked here and there when my eyes fell on a dead rabbit on the kitchen counter where she was standing moments ago. She followed my line of sight and again chuckled. Slowly she moved towards the slab, sliced the rabbit open. She collected its blood in a glass and without a second thought gulped it down. My eyes grew bigger, what the hell on earth? "You want some?" She asked.

I was too tongue tied to answer. Her not aging even a day past 26 years, her drinking animal blood like it's her morning juice it indicates only one thing that she is now a Vampire. But how? Jesus I will go crazy with all the questions in my head. "I know what's going in your head Manik, take me home and I will answer all of everyone's question. Please take me home.
