Vampire comes to India(#YourStoryIndia)

Chapter 4 - Nethan

Day 4   -  9 pm

Suraj's P.O.V.

I look sideways, as I walk towards the hotel. Ravina chose well, no one will ever find her here. I dial her number from my ancient Nokia handset, as I enter the wrought Iron gates, stealthily. The guard turns the other way. It seems that he has been walking in circles around the hotel, finally doing the duty he was hired for. Na, my guess is that he thinks Ravina may visit again. Tough Luck!

"Hi..I am here..Ravina." I whisper into my handset.

In a blink of an eye she is in front me, grinning.

Her smile captivates me yet again. Her bronze skin shining lightly in the full moon's light makes her appear almost human. If it were not for her eyes that shine when she has heightened emotions, no one could ever know about her true being. Her toned body and such a perfect hour glass figure...aah all Bollywood beauties are sure to grovel if they see her. Her long black raven hair, make her appear like the lioness she is, the queen she is.

I wave a small shopping bag at her. She frowns but grabs me by my waist casting a small glance at my face and then we are in her balcony. She lets go of me and enters her room. I follow her, mesmerized by her cat walk. She turns and glares at me.

"Sorry" I raise my hands in defense. She had warned me last night she hates her ass being stared at.

"Suraj..I really don't think this is a good idea...I may not be able to control myself."

"Ravina ...we have no other lead. The club where Nethan, your nephew went last," I remind her. We have been over this for many hours now.

We were lucky that officer didn't take us to his police station, for further questioning of Nethan's whereabouts . He has given Ravina his card and said to be in touch, when we insisted of leaving less she misses dropping a friend off at the airport. Ya lame, but the only lie that I could cook up at that time, to save Ravina, before she made herself more visible to the authorities.

She sighs and looks at the bag I am holding, "You didn't bring anything funny. Did you?"

"No, my Queen. The dress has no low cleavage, no bare back, just bare shoulders just as you requested," I hand over the bag to her.

She grins yet again and I catch a glimpse of her fangs.

"Ravina..you are starting to feel hungry. I told you, you need to drink before you feel that. Where is the bottle?" I had given her a pint bottle filled with my blood before I went shopping for her.

She is gone. When she comes back she is already dressed and looks breathtakingly beautiful in the slim red cocktail dress, that snuggly fits her till her tiny waist and then has a slight flare skirt that ends just a couple of inches above her knee .She wipes of a drop of my blood from her lips and winks before she twirls, showing off her dress to me.

I clap and give her thumbs up sign.

"You are looking gorgeous. How did you curl your hair?" I ask pointing to her glorious rich curls that make her look more like a teenager let alone a woman in her 20's or for that matter an old and original vampire.

"Oh that..something I like to do every now and then. You did say I have to play the part without using my magnetic force," she pouts.

"Yes..you have certain limits. It's for your own good. There are,,"

"I know. I know. There are people out who can harm me or Nethan if they knew I am here for him. As a guide you sure are bossy," she complains.

"Hey I didn't chose to be. Told you the moment your coffin touched our soil, I was ordered to be with you till you decide to leave. You should be thanking me instead of.."

"Being a bitch? Well I hate being confined..I hate being told what to do and what not to..I am ..." I cut her off.

"Ya ya ...you are the Queen with or without your treasure. I know that..I am sorry I didn't mean to get you all worked up. But, please I need to do my job properly and you need to hide your identity. This is India. People here solemnly believe in supernatural, paranormal and yes vampires."

She laughs at me.

"What?"

She becomes sober. "Nothing..let's go."

She holds me by my waist again and I close my eyes, as she jumps into the thin air. I have been Vampires guide for over 19 years and yet every time, these species make me fly with them, I can't let go of the initial fear of falling.

As we fly smoothly, I steal a glance at her smiling face. How will she react when I tell her what I really am? What are my true motives for her? Will she judge me when she finds out that I am twice the age she believes me to be. Will I be able to lie to her for long?

I am beginning to like her, despite her being such a bitch at times. I knew she was different the moment I had first seen her infuriated at the man as he chose Cherry over her. I had to plan my entrance in such a way that she has no choice but to drink my blood, which she did.

I didn't know then that she and Nethan were related. He is the one who taught me everything about my job, yet I didn't know how or when he went missing. It's more important that I seek him out before I go ahead with what he has told me to do.

I know I am taking a grave risk by taking her to a club that's filled with young hatchlings. Her vampire stench is not as strong as before, but yes it's there.

"What's making you look so sad? Are you worried about something?"

Should I tell her or at least warn her. No, she may want to escape meeting her kind. Nethan told me she hated others, despised them so much that she has always stayed away as far as she could.

A beam of white light shines from the ground towards the sky.

"There it is," I tell her and she nods, gradually decreasing their flying height, till they come to a spot, where they are hovering 10 stories high. The entrance of the club is barely visible, with a long line of people, eager to enter. Like always they will be purposefully made to wait before they become fresh snacks. This was Nethan's business here in Mumbai, creating blood supply for the young army that he is or rather was creating.

She will soon know where I have brought her and why.
