Grace is a teenager with a great life with friends. Another day when she was watching the sky, she saw something, black shadow hovering over the pond. The irony is that black shadow saw her too.
That shadow is now in her room. Would Grace witness...
"We can talk or hear each other in mind. Mind-Talks You know" He said while shrugging off his shoulders.
"But you won't understand it. You are not a vampire. You are a little rabbit." He said while pinching on my cheeks.
Ahhh, these vampires!!! Anyways, I tried to change the subject and to get less offended.
"You vampires don't have manners?"
"Why?" He said while growing his eyebrow up.
"I saw a girl in the kitchen, in her 20's n she was making fun of me n my death."
"U must have met with my Lil' sister. Her tongue is sharp as a knife."
"Oh, I'm sorry." I was in shock n was cursing my frankness with him.
"So, how many siblings do you have?"
"Not more, Just 13," he said casually.
"13?" my eyes widen.
"Yeah, I know it's less."
"No, it's like a cricket team, under the same roof!" I was speechless.
He just smiled a Lil'.
"So, where are they?"
"My 7 bros got killed in the enemy intrusion. So now me, Sabastian, Meghan and Riley are left"
"But that's only 4? I said while thinking in my mind.
"We donno about our last sibling. And no one, in my family utters a word about him."
"What a great family!" I sighed.
"We don't have a great family like humans, where parents care about their child, and dad plays basketball with his daughter and mother cook delicious meals for his mamma's boy. We don't share any emotional bond."
"We are family just by blood. But more likely we are enemies of each other," he said in a little despair.
"Oh, I am sorry." I felt uncomfortable by hearing all the stuff.
"It's ok. Anyways you are going to die. So my secret is safe." He assured me, by again reminding me of my death.
"No need to remind me of my death by each passing minute," I said in great dejection.
"So tell me do you have any secrets?" He asked me to change the subject, to lighten the mood and atmosphere.
"Nope," I said while looking at the window.
The slow breeze was coming inside. Making me live this last moment.

"Regrets?"
"Umm, If I got a chance I would go back to my college and say sorry to each and every boy who proposed me and I declined him, then I would say goodbye to my besties. Umm, that's it."
"No family?"
"Nope"
"I don't know about my parents and my grandma who raised me, died 3 yrs back," I said in gloom.
"Ohh" his face was so nervous.
"What happened? Why being so nervous?" I asked in confusion.
"Nothing, it just every time I failed to find out the reason behind these deaths. And you are the first person to whom I talked a lot. So its lil bit sad, knowing your side of the story."
"It's ok, Afterall I made my mind." I was continuously distracting my mind from thinking a lot about my destiny.
"So early?" he asked in amusement.
"Yesterday your talks mean sense," I said in a mature voice.
"But I was just joking."
"Yeah, but though also," I said looking down.
"You know if I didn't die I would admire you," I said with a hint of a smile on my lips.
"Why?" He baffled with my sudden praise.
"You have the superpowers and charms," I said while leaning forward and looking at him.
"Thanks for the praise maybe this is the first time you praised me."
"Yup," I said pouting on the letter 'p'.
"But I have some doubts," I said while narrowing my eyes.
"What?"
"When I ran from the wedding, you were able to come near me"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean I was carrying garlic," I said while stretching my eyes and arms.
"So?" He shrugged like it's nothing.
"So, I read on the internet that if a person carries garlic, vampires can't hurt them," I said in low voice.
"Yeah, but its partially true." He said with a good laugh.
"The vampire which lived more than a century already developed some tactics to get used to with sunrays or lessen the impact of garlic harm," he explained to me.
"Oh, yeah, I forget you are like 300 yrs old grandpa," I said in amusement.
And we both laugh. The laugh which echoed the entire room.
We were laughing for more than 5 mins when I realized it's going to be morning soon.
I looked at him, still laughing.
But looking at my serious face. He came to reality and came near me. He gave me a warm hug.
And a sunray heat to the white tiles of our room. And my body felt weightless.
Darkness Consumed Me.
