The last year was all different from the current situation of her life. That one incident which turned her into a state where she could not call herself a human being. She was afraid that once she reveals her identity, she will not be safe, not even in a corner of this huge world which believed all of her reality as a myth.
But what was an eighteen year old capable of? How much she could achieve at this age? Nobody knew the answers of the questions she had in her mind. Those people with whom she lived all these past years would never accept her with this truth. But how all of this turned out like this? She did not knew either.
Elle, an eighteen year old, who refuses to believe about her real self. She hates the feeling of being tortured during midnights. She hates her heightened emotions. But at the end, she could not help herself. She was the one who prayed this for. She was the one who started to have a keen interest in these things. Even though her family restricted her from learning anything related to these matters, she still insisted. She hid the truth of secretly researching and investigating on the reality of this myth.
While at previous stages, she was having a hard time on controlling her emotions. She knew that these abrupt changes directed towards only one conclusion. But obviously she was not ready to accept that truth. She felt that it might be because recently, she has been studying and researching on vampires alot. So she went to see that guy whom she first met at the Lulu Bar.
Elle was currently at a bar in Paris, where she first met a German boy, named Felix. He was a psychiatrist by profession, but not according to his real identity. They both ordered red wine before getting into the serious conversation, the purpose behind their meeting.
"Sometimes it would be just heightened and I am becoming nauseas whenever I smell something strong specially..." Elle explained the person sitting in front of her bit by bit about her current and sudden changes in her body.
"Since how long have you been researching?" Felix's direct question startled Elle. Her eyes twitched the moment she heard his question. But in order to hide that moment, she suddenly smiled warmly and said, "Just a few months back."
Her inner sould told her not to hide anything. She is meeting this man for her own treatment. She is weak right now, both mentally and physically. Those sudden changes indeed affected her badly. She knew it could be the transitioning phase that could have triggered. But she was well aware that if she entered that transition phase then nobody could return back her usual self, her normal life.
Despite knowing all of these things she lied. She would never let this reality surface out.
"Okay! Then tell me how all of this started." As per Felix's request, she tried to recall every small incident of the day, that was the beginning of her new phase of life.
------------
After pondering for the whole morning in confusion, Elle finally decides to visit the National Library. On her way, she thinks about all the novels to read once she reaches there.
While gazing at the list she prepared at before leaving the house absent mindedly, suddenly a sudden jerk makes her to snap back to reality. With an annoyed expression she stares out of the taxi to find that a large crowd has gathered on the right pathway signal.
"Miss, all the vehicles have to be stopped here. " Suddenly a male voice comes from the driver seat.
On hearing the driver's words, a knot forms on her forehead. In a firm voice she asks him the reason.
"But why? Library is not much far from here. I hope you can drive that much." Stubbornly she refuses to leave the taxi.
Glancing at the stubborn girl sitting on the passenger seat behind him, he calmly explains.
"Miss since the accident which happened last week, vehicles do not follow that route. The vehicle assosciation has decided to not take in any passenger for that route. Even I refused to take you there earlier. But you stubbornly sat inside my taxi."
The drivers response ignited fury inside her body, while she quietly paid the driver and refused to take back the change. She opened the taxi door and closed it with a loud sound.
'THUMP! THUMP!'
While stomping her foot, she crossed the two lanes and ran towards the footpath. She took out her phone from the bag and navigates a route to the library from her current location. She noticed that it was just six minutes walking distance from the point where she was currently.
On the route she laughed inwardly on the driver who was afraid to cover such a short distance. Suddenly a thought came to her mind that the driver was speaking about an accident, and on top of that he said, it happened last week.
Elle knew that her home was not much far away from this place. If anything like this would have actually happened, she must have heard about it. But she could not remember any such events or news related to these accidents.
"What? Does it means he fooled me?" Elle did not ralised that she yelled at middle of the footpath.
The passersby stopped on their tracks and looked at her with confusing eyes.
'Is she fine or she just went crazy?!' Everybody had similar thoughts in their mind.
When Elle realised that she was in the middle of the footpath and because she just yelled without realising, every passerby was giving her an odd look. She cleared her throat in embarrassement before picking her steps to reach her destination.
Meanwhile on the road, she casually unlocked her phone and searched on the news column about recent accidents. What popped into the search column was something unexpected to her. She was completely not ready to accept such a big news suddenly. Since it already happened that means everybody nearby, even everyone in the city must have heard this news. But she could not remember anything about this.
Apart from all of these stuffs, the line which caught her attention was of just three words.
"Suspecting Vampire Attack!"
