“CAN you tell me where your body was for the past few days?” he asked. His eyes were filled with curiosity.
“It was an old and voluptuous mansion in a villa located at the middle of the deep forest.”
“At the middle of the forest? And mansion you say? Who would ever live there?”
“Vampires.” He almost choke upon hearing her. “What! Vampires?” he chuckled. “I’m serious here, Haruki.”
“I’m serious, too. Don’t think of this as a joke because it’s not.” she said, starting to get pissed.
“Seriously?”
“Yes. I guess he took my body for it to live with the other vampires.”
“He? Who’s he?”
“Holton.”
“Who’s that?”
“I don’t know. Even my body doesn’t know who he really was. The only thing I know is that he is a vampire, period.”
“Wait a sec. This is crazy. When you turned into a vampire, your soul was separated from your body?”
“Yes.”
“Your soul unconsciously wandered for days while your body lived with that Holton?”
“Yes.”
“Now that you found it, you’re human again?”
“I guess so. Well… yes! Besides, humans are made up of body and soul, right?”
“Indeed. Then that Holton isn’t a human, but a monster.”
“Hm. Yeah?”
“Haruki, did he do something to your body?”
“Well…”
“Any violent action?”
“My body says nothing except…”
“Except what?”
“…stealing a kiss.”
He jerked. “WHAT! Your body let him kiss you?”
“No, I didn’t let it happen that’s why I called it ‘steal.' Even my soul won’t agree.”
He sighed from relief.
“Why?” she innocently asked.
“Nothing. Oh! Before your soul came here to ask help from me, I had a dream.”
She smirked. “About what? You being the MVP in a basketball competition?”
“No! It’s your body together with a man.”
Her eyes became suspicious. “What are they doing?”
“Well, the man was like pushing your head to his neck. He’s telling you to drink his blood because you’re thirsty that time.”
She gulped. “Then what?”
“I have two questions.”
“What?"
"First, is that true?”
She clasped her chest. “Yes, my body could remember it. It happened in Holton’s room.”
“So that man was Holton?”
“Yes, why?”
“He’s good looking, huh.”
She raised an eyebrow. “You like him?”
“Of course not! I’m not a gay. Besides, I know I’m more handsome than that man.
“Conceited!” she scoffed.
“Second question: did you bite him?”
‘No, but he bit me.”
“What!”
“That’s why I became a vampire.” she continue. “What could I do? He’s stronger and outraged when he bit me.”
“Well, it’s good to know you didn’t bit him.”
“Of course I won’t.”
“You know what? I watched a vampire movie before. Two vampires biting each other symbolize their love for each other.”
“Really?”
“Yes. But you said that vampires don’t have souls. On the other hand, humans have souls because and for love. It only means vampires can’t love. If they did, the magic goes. It doesn’t last.”
She didn’t utter a word. She just felt that her chest tighten that she almost can’t breath.
