Her Scent

Chapter 21

Arial had taken thinks quite well. She didn't freak out. That was what worried me. I'm a vampire for god sake.

Well...part of me was glad that she didn't run away. Now I had no reason to ignore her. I yet didn't know what she felt about me.

"Hey Nic. Your back," Chris said.

"I have something to tell. Both of you," I said. I was deciding whether to tell them about it or no. Not telling felt unfair. We always told each other everything.

"What is it?" Casey asked.

"She knows. About us," I said.

"Why did you tell her?" Chris said. He was trying to control his anger.

"I didn't. She...she figured it out," I said.

"It ain't possible Nic," Casey said.

"I know. There's another part to it. But she didn't tell," I said.

"Guess we have to find a new place," Chris said.

"No. She won't tell," I said.

"Oh please. You are a love stuck man."

"I'm serious. She's has know this for quite sometime now," I reasoned. I wanted to add that I didn't love her but...forget it. I looked at them. Casey seemed to understand. Chris, on the other hand was contemplating on what to do.

"I don't think its a threat. If it is, we can move when she actually does something," Casey said. I gave her a small smile.

"Fine," Chris finally gave in.

I went up to my room. I had so much to think about. All about her. Lately I have been thinking a lot about her. Its like she has captured my entire mind.

I was glad that I didn't have to ignore her anymore. I seriously hate it. God! Liking someone can be so good at the same time frustrating like hell.

Today I saw her in a different way. I can't actually point it out but somehow it was. This girl has made me go crazy.

Next morning

I had to go to work. Honestly, it was becoming boring now. I was planning to quit.

I entered the super market. There I saw that lady again. Why does she buy food? As far as I know vampires can't eat it. She sensed me entering. She met my gaze.

"Stay away from her," I heard her whisper. Human ear wouldn't able to catch that. Her? Arial? This lady as strange in every possible way. What had she got to do with Arial? I just tried to ignore. Maybe she's just worried that I will kill her. We had a deal after all.

The day was pretty boring. Very few people came. Five more minutes. Then my shift would be over.

I saw something strange across the road. It was that lady with a man. With a human. I knew it as I could hear his heart beat. He looked quite older than her.

"Oh honey," I heard him say. Then he hugged her.

"Lets leave before she comes," she said. I saw them walking towards the forest. Could this lady get any stranger?
