Chapter 3 It's frightening to be in a lit but dark room.

I saw the opportunity and ran away. I almost took shelter under the bridge. I was groaning with pain. I was sitting under the bridge, leaning against the wall, and thinking, why was I feeling pain? Why I am not healing. Meanwhile, I heard Darius calling my name. He was wandering around and trying to find me. I was waiting for Darius to leave because I had to reach my apartment before I passed out.

I must go to my apartment before sunrise. I cannot get off this bridge as soon as the sun rises. I was groaning with pain. How can I forget that the sun is my first enemy? It will burn me to death. I unbuttoned my shirt to where I got shot in my chest. I was bleeding and not healing.

What the person shot me with." I keep asking myself this question. I was taking a deep breath.

I was sweating profusely. I felt warm in my body. Soon the sun will come up in the sky. I kept saying that, and I do not know when I passed out. I do not know what is happening to me. I kept sleeping and waking up, and I saw someone was taking me somewhere. He was wearing a long black robe, gloves in his hands, and a mask on his face and I passed out again. I have woken up again. My condition has not changed. I am still feeling the pain in my chest.

I felt as if someone had stabbed me in the chest. I tried to sit up but found my hands tied to the table. I look around. It looked like an old house or a basement. The cracks on the ceiling tell me that it is an abandoned place. I was feeling weak. In the meantime, I saw the person again in a long robe. He was making something because I saw the table where various kinds of liquid were there.

I take a deep breath. My name is Harland James Rhodes. I am a detective. If my partner knew that you abducted me, then you would be in big trouble," I said while groaning. I am warning you."

He did not answer me. I raise my head and begin to stare at the ceiling. I passed out in pain. I do not know how long I remained unconscious. I woke up and looked at him; he was still there. I started speaking to him again.

Who are you?" I asked. He did not flinch and kept doing what he was doing. I could not see clearly because he had his waist toward me. I called him, but he did not pay attention to me. I will die today. Last two years, I thought that no one could hurt me, but at this moment, I am feeling helpless. My eyes welled up with tears. A minute later, I passed out again. I woke up screaming. I do not know what is going on with me.

Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?" I asked with a breaking voice. I could not see the person's face. I was terrified. A while later, I opened my eyes again and saw some odd drawings on the ceiling. I looked around and saw a bowl with blood in it. I also saw a needle in my right arm, like he was draining my blood. This time, the person in the long robe was not around. I try to free myself, but I cannot.

So, I started shouting. I think that by doing this, maybe someone will hear my voice. I have been doing this for some time, but no one has turned up to help me. I then again passed out.

A few minutes later, I opened my eyes and found myself in a parking lot. As I was waiting for someone. There was a cool breeze. It is lightly drizzling. I was alone in the parking lot. I started walking in front. I left the parking lot and went to the right side. It was dark. Nothing was visible. I was walking alone.

So, I saw a woman standing on the footpath. She looks at me, waves her hand, and smiles. I cannot see his face properly because of the darkness. I also look at her with a smile. As I was looking at her, something extremely fast grabbed her. She just vanished in front of my eyes. I looked around and tried to find her, but I could not find her.

"This is a dream. This is not the reality," I said. Meanwhile, I woke up to the voice of a woman.

"Wake up, wake up, "Harland, you are getting late for school. I opened my eyes. This time, I woke up in the room. I got off the bed and gazed at the watch. I walked out of the room and proceeded downstairs. I enter the dining room from the left, where a woman is standing, making something on the stove. A little girl is sitting on the chair, eating food, and playing with a toy.

Harland," you got hungry. You sit down. I have made strawberry pancakes for you," the woman said. A minute later, she gave me a plate of pancakes. I took the plate of pancakes from her hand. I looked at her. It was the same woman I saw on the footpath. She was looking at me with a smile.

"Eat the food quickly because you are getting late for school," she said. Afterward, I started eating the pancakes. Suddenly, there will be silence in the room. I felt a bit strange, and I looked up at the chair in front of me, and I got stunned because the little boy disappeared. I rise to my feet and look to my right; the woman is also not there.

I suddenly ran out of the room and saw the woman sitting on the sofa, and the TV was on. She sat like a statue. She was not moving. I got scared. I went to her, and I called her, but she did not answer me. I then put my hand on her shoulder, and then she turned into ashes and flew away. I screamed and woke up again in the basement of the house, where the person in a long robe took me. My abductor was not there.

As soon as I wake up. I try to free myself from chains. I was screaming hysterically. "I will kill you. What are you doing to me?" I yelled.

I have been screaming for some time, but no one has come and helped me. "Just let me go," I said while sobbing. I am a vampire. I am stronger than everyone. When I was mumbling. The person in a long robe comes over to me and starts chanting something in an eerie voice.

Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?" I screamed. I made some mistakes, but at that time I did not know how to control myself. I swear, as soon as I controlled my hunger, I did not hurt anyone. Please, you must believe me."

I was crying bitterly. There is someone who can help me. I am innocent; I was compelled. I did not have any other way. I screamed. "Are you listening to me?" After that, I found myself again in the room. I was lying on the bed. I saw a girl sitting in front of the dressing table.

She was exceptionally beautiful. She had long, thick hair. She had long eyelashes. He was wearing a red sleeping gown. She was applying lipstick to her lips. I get off the bed. I picked up my clothes from the ground and started dressing up. She was just staring at me from the dressing table mirror.

You know you are very pretty. I just do not want to see your beauty fade away. I always want to see you beautiful like this. I said this while walking up to her and standing behind her. I put my hand on her shoulder. She is wearing a necklace.

What you are wearing this. I held the necklace which was around her neck. In that chain, there was a heart. When I opened it, there were two pictures in it. One was on the right, and one was on the left. Who is she?" I asked.

She smiles. She is my sister," she said. Hmmm, she is not pretty like you. I want you to keep young. Then I bit her neck with bare teeth. She started screaming. I then forced her to drink my blood. She was horrified to see me. Afterwards, she started running out of the room, and I ran and blocked her way.

She was sobbing. "Let me go. Let me go!" she yelled. I then come close to her and snap her neck. Suddenly, I opened my eyes and found myself tied to the table.

He blindfolds my eyes. After this, someone was tearing up my chest. I started screaming.
