Selene's POV
I just woke up when I felt a sharp object pierce my skin.
I slowly opened my eyes and frowned when I looked at that thing.
A woman in a white dress— wrong, she's wearing a nurse's uniform...
Am I in the hospital?
"Selene." I turned around at the sound of a familiar voice.
"Sister Vera."
He frowned when he looked at me before speaking.
"What happened? Why did you suddenly lose consciousness?" He frowned when he asked.
Before I could answer Ate's question, the nurse suddenly interjected. He said he was done giving me dextrose and then left immediately.
"I don't know. It's just that my body suddenly got weak." I said.
I don't even know why that happened. This is the first time this has happened to me.
Ate Vera sighed and leaned against the back of the chair. He crossed his hands while sitting down.
"Luckily, someone brought you to the hospital right away." He said gently.
Suddenly, the last thing I saw before I lost consciousness came back to my memory.
"Who is the person who brought me here? Where is he?" My next question.
I'm nervous. I feel that the person who brought me here is the last person I saw.
Sister Vera raised her hand before pointing to a man not far away.
From there, I could see the man's entire face. Kuya Niko is talking to him.
"What the hell?!" I exclaimed while staring at the man in disbelief.
"Selene, how many times do I have to tell you to watch what you say?" Ate Vera scolded me again.
I ignored it and reached for the long sleeve he was wearing.
"Sister!!" I eagerly called him.
"What?"
"That's him!" I whispered to him, "He is the man who always appears in my dreams!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
I didn't know that this man actually existed.
I thought it was just the novels I was reading.
"You should avoid him."
I was stunned by Ate Vera's words and frowned when I looked at it.
"Why?" I asked curiously.
Selene's POV
I'm still excited to talk to the man. So why?
"You told me that when he appeared in your dream, he always asked you to suck his blood." He looked at the man before turning back to me. "So, in short. He knows our family's secrets."
I was silent when he said this.
Come to think of it. That's what the man always said in my dream.
So that means, he knows our family's secret.
We are a vampire.
Suddenly, the words said by the two female students came back to my mind.
"Vampires like them should be killed."
I held tightly to my blanket because of fear.
What if because of this man, people find out our secret?
"Y-you're right... I should avoid him." I was afraid to tell Ate Vera.
A few minutes ago, Kuya Niko also came to us with the man who brought me here.
"You're awake." Kuya Niko said to me openly, I just nodded. "By the way, this is Dominic Tiago. He is the one who brought you here to the hospital."
I swallowed before looking at Dominic for a moment and smiling.
Now that I can see his face. I couldn't control myself more and more.
I am so amazed.
"Ahm.. I have to go. I'm late." I heard Dominic say.
Kuya Niko smiled at him, "Okay, thanks again."
"It's nothing."
From here, I just watched Dominic leave.
I still can't believe that he exists.
Wow..
"Brother Niko, what did the doctor say to Selene?" I heard Ate Vera's question to Kuya causing me to turn around as well.
Kuya Niko removed his eyeglasses before sighing.
"I'll tell you when we get home." Kuya Niko said seriously.
I feel that it is very important to the point that he needs to tell the reason at home.
"Then, brother. When can I get out of here?" It's still boring when you're in the hospital.
"You will only stay here for 3 hours. Don't worry."
Eh?
3 hours??!
"Mr.?!" I gasped in surprise.
Selene's POV
"Selene, your mouth." Ate Vera scolded me again but I ignored it.
"Brother Niko, I've only been here for 3 hours. Why do you still know dextrose dextrose?" I said before raising my hand to reveal the dextrose stuck to the back of my palm.
It still hurts a bit.
"That's the only way you won't be mistaken for a vampire." Kuya said softly.
Even. There are many other ways.
"The doctor you talked to, Brother. That's your friend, right?" Sister Vera asked.
"Yes."
By the way, I forgot that vampires are scattered everywhere.
Others are still pretending to be human. Just like us.
They talked about something else but I didn't listen anymore. It's just dizzying, I don't understand anything.
"Selene, we have to leave first. Felix will pick you up here later." I heard Kuya Niko say.
"Okay, see ya!" I wave at her.
When they left, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the hospital bed again.
I was like that for a few hours, until suddenly I heard cries.
I quickly turned around and looked at what it was.
I saw a stretcher carrying six people to the E.R., some of them still crying.
I would like the case to come closer, but the dextrose attached to me is in the way.
But because I was curious, I just looked for someone to ask. Until I saw two gossiping nurses not far from me.
"Ahm.. excuse me? Can I ask?" My question is polite.
The two nurses turned to me at the same time and immediately approached me.
"Yes? What is it?"
"What happened to the patient brought to the E.R?" My question is gossipy.
"Oh, isn't it? They say it's a victim of a vampire." A nurse said causing me to stop.
What? Another victim?
"A-are you sure?" I assure you.
The other one nodded, "Yes! They actually found two holes on the side of the man's neck. It's a good thing he's still alive."
Sh*t. What fool would do that?
There is a law that vampires follow. So why does this happen?
Whoever they are, they will be really angry with the elders.
