As Hana and Nabi were walking hand in hand back to the hostel. "We also had a romantic walk", Hana whispered in shy.
"Is it? " Nabi clapped in excitement and hoped that it would be happy news.
"Yes, from M.G Bus-stop"
"What? You made him walk 5 km."
"He even placed his hand on my shoulder when we were near University. It was so romantic. Do you think he likes me?"
Nabi figured why Ian hadn't called or pinged her today. She pressed on Ian's contact to check whether he was fine.
"Hello!" Ian said in a weak voice.
"Why did you walk with her? Don't you hate walking? Why didn't you tell her?"
Without replying, he asked if she could get him something to eat as his legs were in a frozen state.
"Ok, take rest.", she said and looked at Hana, who looked worried.
"Did I make a mistake? Isn't he an athletic person? I wanted to show him that I am compatible with him.", she murmured, putting her head down.
"I will explain to you later. First, let's get some food."
Both rushed to the canteen and purchased some snacks. As they were about to exit the canteen, Nabi abruptly stopped looking at Beau standing before her just a few centimetres away.
"Handsome", she thought with eyes fixed on him.
"Seems like you came to answer my question. Thank You," He sent a mind link with a flirtatious smile.
Nabi continued gazing at Beau with a bright smile and eyes wide open.
She looked distracted by Hana, who was pulling her hand.
"Do you want Ian to die?" she yelled on top of her voice.
With her hand being pulled by Hana and her eyes on Beau, she looked like a child whose toy had been snatched away.
"Seems like you started mesmerizing everyone", Olivia said, appearing from thin air.
"But I feel captivated towards her. I felt like pulling her in my arms. I never had this feeling before in my 40 years. All my senses heightened, and I had a difficult time controlling my hands and thoughts."
"Is she your partner?"
"Don't you think it's too early for a Vampire to have a human partner?", he sighed walking towards the boy's residency.
As he walked, he heard Nabi's voice coming from his hostel.
"Have some juice"
And a boy's voice followed, "Did anyone see you coming?"
Beau felt his blood boiling and eyes turning red. Though he didn't understand why he was feeling that way, he wanted to break the neck of that voice.
Noticing that he was transforming, "OLI", he screamed loud enough for her to hear and feeble to humans.
"Beau", Nabi's said to herself, worrying.
Olivia pushed him to the faraway tree, which was two kilometres away in a second before he could send a mind voice.
The tree fell loud, while Beau stood there with raging red eyes and sharp fangs.
Olivia was taken back by Beau's look, which she hadn't seen before, even while hunting. She waited as she looked at him slowly coming back.
"We should visit home NOW", Olivia commanded.
"Don't you want to know why you suddenly transformed and you looked as if you wanted to kill someone? We have to discuss this with Darrien."
"I know why I transformed."
"Why?", she vexed looking at the mess he created.
"Nabi"
"What about her?"
"She was speaking with a boy", he replied.
"Oooo.....wait ...what does that have to do with your transformation," she asked, lacking understanding.
"I think she is my partner."
"Oooookay, so you were jealous of him", she teased.
"I need to confirm this", he said, dialling a number on his phone.
"Hello Darrien"
"Hello", a man with a hoarse voice replied.
"I think I found my partner. Is it possible? I am still young."
"True, You are young, but you can't jump to conclusions. First, you need to confirm it?"
"How do I confirm it?"
"Your power won't work on her, and when you hold her hand, both of you will see a red thread connecting your wrists. Your touch will also awake her."
Beau nodded with every statement Darrien said obediently.
"Get back to me after confirmation", Darrien said, disconnecting the call.
"The first one is fine, but I don't think she will allow you to hold her hand", Olivia remarked.
Beau nodded.
As they were coming out of the woods, Nabi and Hana were secretly coming out of the men's dorm.
"Seems like you talked with your boyfriend", Olivia exclaimed, teasing them.
"No, no..."
"You don't have to say them, they can listen to you", Nabi said, breaking off Hana and scanned Beau from top to bottom.
"This is Olivia, and this is Beau", Nabi introduced them to Hana in an unenthusiastic tone.
Hana stretched her hand towards Olivia and said, "I am Hana, Nabi's friend."
Hana put her hand down before shaking and continued talking to them as if nothing happened.
"What?" Nabi thought and looked at Hana.
Beau, who observed Nabi's expression stood silent both in thoughts and words.
As Hana and Nabi walked off, Beau looked at Olivia and pronounced that he was unable to control Nabi's thoughts.
"Seems like we have to speak out from now on.", Olivia said dissatisfiedly and disappeared.
Beau walked to his room, dragging his feet, exhausted from immediate transitions.
Taking a red packet from the drawer, he sat sipping the liquid from the packet. As he drank completely, his pale skin started turning to a fair pinkish complexion.
"Blood is the best food", he commented, putting on his earbuds listening to some soothing music.
Nabi, on reaching Hana's room closed the door with a bang."Why didn't you shake your hand with Olivia?""I have", Hana insisted."I haven't seen", Nabi reciprocated.As she was about to start her analysis on the handshake and Beau's scream, she was interrupted by Hana, who asked how Ian was."I don't think he can come to college tomorrow. His legs appeared weak.""Isn't he an athletic person?" she asked curiously."No, who said he is?""His body seems like he is a sportsperson.""He was", Nabi corrected. "He used to play basketball, but due to a minor hand injury, he stopped but was unable to gain interest again in that sport. He hits the gym regularly to maintain his physique."Hana felt happy knowing about Ian, even though it was a little information. "Ping me his number", Hana asked."Ok!" Nabi replied absentmindedly.[Why didn't Hana notice?Why was Beau screaming on top of his voice for
Hana nodded.Nabi clapped in excitement and asked her when she was planning to tell him, though not confident if Hana can take that step."Not now! He doesn't have a positive impression on me. I made him eat local food and walk 5 kilometers.""No! No! Actually he had a good impression on you. He told me that you were a kind-hearted person, cheerful girl and also a loyal friend too.""What?", Hana asked astonished."Yep! he said that he noticed that you were interested in him in the first meeting itself. He felt that you were different from other girls who pretended around him and loved watching you laugh whole heartedly reading at the comic. Moreover he said that it was the first time he felt himself in front of a girl excluding me."Hana felt comforting but it soon turned to sadness when she heard that Ian was comfortable with Nabi too.Looking at Hana's expression, Nabi patted her hand and joked not be jealous over her."You
The whole class was now staring at them."Excuse me!"Beau and Nabi broke their hug to see a pale skinned and heavy build man standing infront of them."Albert", Hana whispered looking through her watery eyes."Follow me" Albert said in a commanding voice looking at Beau and Nabi.Nabi held Beau's arms tightly as they followed Albert.As she leaned on him, he felt all his senses heightened. The lingering scent from Nabi's naked neck was making him crazy. He felt like carrying her to an isolated place and marking her all over the neck. Her dried lips looked like begging for his saliva. Slowly he entered to a trance where he was kissing Nabi's lips and his tongues was exploring every inch of her mouth. As he moved down to her neck, she was grasping for air after the long kiss. She moaned as he licked her neck. Hearing her moan, he tightens his grip around her and..."Fast", Albert sent a mind link to Beau snapping him back.I mis
Nabi heart was fluttering looking at Beau's face. I want to continue the kiss. I don't want a deep one, just a peek. I can't control this urge. Just once, I want to feel his lips on mine. How can we know our limit if we don't take a step forward? "Can we try kissing?", she uttered closing her eyes. "You don't need to shy away from me", Beau whispered in the most sexist way. "I was actually thinking of asking you. But I feared if you could agree to me after what Albert has said. Can I?", he asked leaning forward. Nabi blinking in acceptance. Beau placed his lips on Nabi for some time letting her adapt to the coldness. He slowly placed his palm on her nape. The coldness in his hand brought a shiver down her spine but she turned red immediately as Beau was tracing her lips. She felt like he was teasing but felt crazy as his other hand was pressing her waist over her shirt. His tongue slowly made its way inside and started exploring. Befor
Hana dodged back hitting the stool, which squished. Due to the noise Nabi awakened and moved her head impatiently having a hard time opening her eyes. The doctor, who came to review took out a small touch and peeped into Nabi eyes, "She looks weak. We are provided her fluids to replenish but she should eat to do her daily activities", the doctor said and left abruptly. "Beau, where are you? Just come to me. Why are you making me yearn for you? I need you beside me when I am struggling. Please Beau, please....", She thought and slipped to sleep. Noticing tears rolling down, Albert took a tissue and wept them, "You will fine. Don't worry!" and patted her head. Looking at her dried lips, he started applying water to her lips with cotton. "I am so sorry for putting you in danger." Suddenly they heard a growl from Nabi's stomach. "Can someone please go and get her something to eat", Albert pleaded with watery eyes. "I will", Olivia said dis
"Not hard. Super hard!! Can you stand still without reacting when someone is asking or saying or cursing you? Moreover, it will be like bees buzzing around you. Too irritating!!!! In the initial days, when we were let out to gain control over our hunger, it was difficult listening to everyone's thoughts compared to controlling our carvings.""How did Beau gain control, while you couldn't?""Because he couldn't save...mmm....Nabi, it's a personnel thing. It would be better if you hear it from Beau.""What does Nabi want to know?", Beau asked standing near the open window, through which he entered."Come near me", Nabi sent a mind voice.The next moment, Beau was kneeling in front on Nabi with hands on his knees. "I am so sorry Nabi. I shouldn't have left you there. I left like a murderer the moment you collapsed, my palm was covered with your blood and my fangs.... were dripping blood. I thought I wouldn't be able to control myself if I touch you ag
Albert felt the ward asking Olivia to follow him. Hana was still warming Nabi's hands with a furious expression. Though she knew that she should be leaving too, but her heart wasn't ready to leave her only friend to a vampire.Beau understood her fear and decided to let her stay as he knew that it was very important to gain Hana's trust and support, Afterall she is Nabi's best friend."We shall speak in mind voice. If you are fine with it.", Beau asked her through the mind link."Sure... for now. But we shall do not play this stupid mind game again"Beau pursed his lips to prevent Hana notice his smile. He pulled his stool close to Nabi and continued pursing probably controlling himself this time. Though, his seat moved towards Nabi, his body seemed to stretch back. His face resembled a statue and was evident that he was controlling his breath. The nerves on his neck were swollen and his fingers were shoving into his thighs."From my knowledge, vam
The moment Nabi called Beau, he was standing before her. She looked in pain and flew her arms towards him wanting to be embraced in his arms. As the door was about to close, Hana was standing at the entrance with a worried look. She was clenching her hands looking at Nabi."Why did you bring her?", she whispered as her mouth twisted."How will you be able to climb your dorm stairs?", he replied near her ear."I don't want to go", she sulked, and her baby face was making his heart throb.It's all about self-control. The more you control, the safer your love, your partner will be. Don't look down, look at Hana who punched you a moment ago for hurting her best friend. You don't want more people insulting and kicking you right!!! He knew that he only has physical urge, but he didn't want to take a chance to go near her again.He swallowed and replied that his would come to her room with dinner without glancing at her.Even though, she was going
