- Two days later –
“Are you sure that you’ll be fine here?” asked by Louve to Madison. She is set to leave today to visit her parents in another province.
“You’ve asked me this question a million times already. I’ll be fine! Don’t worry and just enjoy your vacation.”
“I’m just worried. What if something happens?”
“Stop treating me like a child! I’m already an adult. Just go and enjoy your vacation.”
“Fine, just call me when anything happens.”
“I get it, I get it. You already told me that a hundred times already.”
“Okay, don’t forget to unplug—”
“I know! You even left notes on the refrigerator! How could anything go wrong? I know what I’m doing and what I’m supposed to do.”
“Okay, don’t overwork yourself too much. I don’t know when I’ll get back but call me when something happens.”
“Don’t rush your vacation, enjoy your time there. Lucky for you to get a vacation. Don’t think about me, I’ll be safe.”
“Okay, I’ll go now. Be careful and be safe!”
“Okay! Bye! Have a safe travel!” Louve left and Madison immediately closed the doors. She went to the refrigerator to drink water. “Gosh, does she think I’m just a five-years-old child?” Madison said while looking at the notes Louve left.
Madison took a bath and grabbed her things to go to the hospital. While she walking her phone received a message. She took it from her pocket, reason for her to get distracted while walking.
A flower vase was about to fall to Madison’s head from the third floor of an establishment but a man was able to catch it in a speed of light.
“Oh, my goodness! Young woman, are you okay—oh? Where is the vase?” Madison heard the lady from the establishment shout so she looked up at her. However, the lady was confused when she didn’t see a broken vase. Madison was confused because she did not know what happened, as everything happened too fast.
Madison just shrugged and continue walking. She rode a taxi and went to the hospital.
“Did you guys hear the rumors?” Madison heard the nurses talking in the nurse station. “There were rumors saying that there are vampires and werewolves in the city!”
“That’s none sense! Do you still believe in those?”
“Why? It could be true! They said that some people saw a person with a super speed who move like a speed of light!”
“I also saw some videos about that! It looked so real!”
“There were even videos where you can hear the sounds of a wolf growling! I mean, why would there be wolves growling in the city?”
“Stop watching movies! The growling could be from a dog while the super speed or whatever could be edited! Don’t believe everything from the internet!”
Madison walked towards them and looked at them.
“Are you guys going to gossip all day? Don’t you have enough work to do? You’re not getting paid to gossip about none sense stuffs.”
“Have you heard that news too doctor Suarez?”
“Just get back to work. Even if I—” Madison stopped midway of her sentence when a man came in the emergency room covered with blood.
“Help me! H-Help me! T-there’s a m-monster! H-help!” Madison and the nurses approached the man and assisted him to a bed. She used her stethoscope to check the patient. “T-There’s a m-monster! Please h-help me! S-She bit m-me!” shouted by the man as he touched his left neck covered with blood.
Madison cleaned the area of the neck and she saw two holes.
“O-Oh my gosh! That’s w-what a vampire bite looks like!” shouted by the nurse gossiping about vampires and werewolves earlier. Madison looked at her angrily and shouted at her.
“GET TO BACK TO YOUR SENSES! Stop fantasizing and treat the patient! How can a medical staff act like that in front of a patient?!”
The nurse was stunned and attacked fast in treating the patient. Madison thought that it was just a small injury so she left it to the nurse to treat. When Madison was about to leave, the man started having seizure and he turned pale. Madison ran back and checked the patient’s pupils with a penlight. She also started checking the pulse of the man.
“Doctor Suarez! The vitals of the patient are unstable! What should we do?”
“Give the patient an IV fluid—” Madison was stopped when the patient started vomiting blood. It didn’t last long before the vitals of the patient went to a straight line. Madison tried conducting a CPR however the vitals didn’t come back. A long beeping sound was heard from the vital monitor machine. Madison stepped back and announced his time of date.
“Time of death two-thirty in the afternoon of October twenty eight of year two-thousand and twenty-one.”
The patient’s body was covered with white blanket and was transferred to the morgue. Madison went back to the nurse station and started lecturing the nurse.
“What were you thinking?! A vampire’s bite?! Is that what medical school thought you?! I can’t believe you said that in front of a patient!”
“I-I’m s-sorry Doctor Madison but it does—”
“Are going to that topic again? Why don’t you quit being a nurse and be researcher or whatever instead? I don’t want this to happen again! I don’t discriminate you in believing in whatever you want to believe, but learn to separate it from the medical field! In this hospital that only we believe is science and not any mythical creature. When you step outside, go and believe in every myth!”
Madison walked away and proceeds to the doctor’s lounge. She drank straight a cup of water because of stress. She sat down and massaged her head with her eyes closed.
Louve, on the other hand, went to an establishment in the city and went to its basement. She scanned her fingerprint and iris inside the elevator as only registered people can access the basement.
She actually lied to Madison. She wasn’t going to her family, but will have an important meeting with her kinds. Louve is actually a werewolf. The basement is only accessible to werewolves and this establishment is owned by them. It looks like an ordinary company from the outside but it is the headquarters of the werewolves.
As soon as she entered a meeting room, all the werewolves inside greeted her.
“It’s been a while. It’s unfortunate for us to see each other with this news,” she said while settling down in a swivel chair. “Shall we start?”
“Louve, we can’t continue like this anymore. We need an alpha as soon as possible. The inferior vampires become more aggressive these days. They also found out that until now, we don’t have a leader and they might see it as another opportunity to attack.”
“That’s right. If the daughter of Ahina can’t face us anytime soon and lead us, we have to have you as the alpha.”
“I understand your concerns, however only the daughter of Ahina should be the next Alpha after her. Give me more time until I find a solution to this.”
A big screen in the room turned on and it started playing CCTV footages around the city and countryside.
“These are the recent attacks of the inferior vampires and werewolves.” Footages continue to change until Louve spotted something. “Wait, can you expand that clip from the left?” She observed it and realized it was an alley near the hospital where she and Madison works. “The victim escaped! Where did he go? Show me a clip faster!” A clip of the man was shown where he entered the hospital. Louve hurriedly dialed a number on her phone and called someone. “Where are you? An inferior vampire victim entered the hospital! Find the patient before he infects anyone else! Don’t let him go near Madison!” Louve ran and hurriedly left the building. She went straight to the hospital and immediately looked for Madison. “Madison! Madison! Where is Madison?!” “Why are you here I thou—” Louve did not let her speak and immediately checked her for any i
- THREE DAYS LATER - Madison is now at a network studio for the briefing of the talk show where she will be the guest doctor. She entered the studio and politely greeted every staff inside. The show’s director approached Madison and greeted her. “Doctor Suarez, I finally get to meet you! It’s a pleasure for the show to have you. By the way, I am the show’s production director, you can call me Derick.” “Nice to meet you, Derick. Thank you for inviting me.” “Actually, I really wanted you to be on this show. However, I thought that it may be hard to cast the Madison Suarez that is why I didn’t have much expectations.” “What do you mean the Madison Suarez? I’m just a regular general surgeon.” “What do you mean regular? Not everyone at your age would accomplish the same things as you did. You’re an icon in the medical field. Anyway, I was r
“Excuse me, I’m sorry you must have been mistaken. I have no connections at all.” “Oh, come on. Everyone knows that for you to succeed early, you have to have connections. Don’t be shy, it’s normal.” The director seemed to notice a tension forming between Amanda and Madison. “Come one, ladies! We should talk about—” The director was cut off when Madison spoke. “You said that everyone needs connection to succeed?” “That’s right, so don’t—” Amanda wasn’t even done answering when Madison cut her off. “So, it’s right for me to assume you have that connection. Am I right? But how come, even with that connection that you’re proud off, you are still not successful in your career?” Madison straightforwardly said and smirked at the end. She forced a smile at Amanda who’s obviously offended. “Excuse me? What did you just say?”
The next day, Madison went to work but is still thinking about the incident yesterday. Madison couldn’t forget about the man she saw who disappeared in a speed of light. It gave her goosebumps all night. “Hey!” “Holly molly! What?” Madison almost skipped a heartbeat because of shock when her doctor gay friend, Charlie, tapped her on the back. “Girl! You got to stop drinking coffee! You don’t look pretty anymore, what’s the stress honey?” “I survive because of coffee. What are you doing here?” “I have no more patients for today. That’s great, kids getting sick are decreasing so does my bank account balance.” “So? Why are you here? Are you going to spend your free time bothering me?” “Nope! I came here to congratulate you about the show. I wanted to congratulate you earlier but I couldn’t find time. Anyway, I’m seeing you
She is now falling from the rooftop but she saw the man jump to catch her. At that moment, Madison knew that this could be the end of her life. She thought that the man won’t be able to help her in that situation given that they are falling from the rooftop of a fifty floors tall building. Suddenly, she saw his eyes glow in yellow and eventually managed to reach her. He holds her waist and legs and carried her in a newly-wed style. “W-what...” Madison couldn’t finish her words as they come closer on the ground. She closed her eyes expecting them to crash, however they landed safely. Madison opened her eyes and saw the glowing yellow eyes of the man slowly disappear. She was about to talk to him but he puts her down on the ground and left. He entered a black van and they quickly left. Madison become dizzy as she gets confused about what happened. Even people around her started gossiping. Until Madison collapsed and fell on the ground.
The next day, Madison went to the building where the fall accident happened. She was hoping that she could see CCTV footages on the day of the accident. She went to the rooftop and hoped that she could discover something. All of a sudden, a middle-aged man entered the rooftop and approached Madison. “Excuse me, miss? What are you doing here? Who are you?” Madison turned as soon as she heard his voice. “I’m sorry, I was just looking for something. By the way, who are you?” Madison hesitantly asked the man. “I’m the owner of this building. Do you need help? I came up here to completely lock this rooftop. There was an accident here days ago and I thought it would be a total bad luck if it happens again, so I decided to lock the rooftop.” “Ah, about the accident—” “Are you a reporter? If that’s what you’re here for I think you should leave. My business is greatly a
“Mallory, a little piece of advice, just focus on your goal and we’ll focus on ours. At this point, you might want to start thinking a new plan, because your current plan won’t work.” “Aleister, a little piece of advice too, don’t try hard to impress your father or anyone else by doing something you don’t want. I know you don’t want to be here; you’re just forced as the next superior leader. Why don’t you do what you want?” “You must be thankful that I’m not doing what I want, because if I did, I would have killed you first.” “You’re no match for me.” “Someone was or will be born to end you, watch it happen.” The two vampires stayed silent and just intensely stared at each other. Aleister’s manager entered which broke the tension between the two. “Aleister, we have to leave.” Aleister looked at Mallory for the last time b
A week passed and today is the filming of the talk show. Madison gets dressed as she prepares to leave for the filming. She turns around when she heard a knock on her room’s door. “Madi! Are you ready?” Louve excitedly asked as she walks towards her. “I’m so nervous, what if I mess up?” “Come on! You prepared a lot for this day! I know you’ll do great. Just do what you practiced.” “Can’t you come with me? I might panic when the camera starts rolling.” “Madison Suarez, you’ll do great! Trust me! It’s normal to be nervous since it’s your first time but just take deep breaths and you’ll be fine.” “That sounded weird.” Louve slightly strikes Madison’s nape. “Aw! Do you want me to have a broken neck during the show?” “It’s because you have to start cleaning your dirty mind. You have to leave now! You can’t be late! Just do what you practiced and trust yourself! I know you’ll do great, good luck!” Madison hugged Louve before she left. It took about thir
