Dracula's POV,
I used my powers and teleported to the hidden place back the hospital. I brought the horse using my powers and thought to leave the place.
I raid the horse to Raphael's place. Finally, I reached the place after a couple of minutes. It's been 11 pm when I reached the place. I left the horse in the shed and turned my heals to walk towards the main door.
I knocked on the door to reveal the man that I have seen in the cafe. His smile fades away when he saw me. He got confused and stood there like a statue.
I clenched my jaw in frustration and anger that is developing inside me. If I have seen him somewhere else, he would be dead in my fucking hands.
"Who's there, Alex?" A voice came by and it's from Raphael.
He didn't say anything but he stood there with no reaction. I can say that he got shocked at the sight of me.
"Hey, Alex. Are you not gonna answer me?" Raphael half-screamed from inside.
Along with the question, someone walked towards by the door. I turned to look at the direction, from where are the footsteps coming? I revealed Raphael's panic-filled face.
I got confused at his panic-filled confused face but he quickly recovered from the shock to reveal a fake smile.
"Oh, Alfred. Come inside." Raphael said to me quickly.
"Hmm," I replied to him.
"Hey, Alex. Let him come in. He is my guest." Raphael said with a best fake smile that I could feel the intensity of panic in his fucking face.
"Oh, yeah. Come in." Alex said and backed off to let me in.
I walked in looking at the Fucking man's face, Alex, that I would spit on him.
"Why are you, late man?" Raphael asked me.
"I just got a nice time out there to explore around." I replied to him looking at Alex, who stood like a statue.
"That's good to hear, Alfred" Raphael said to me with a smile.
"Yeah," I said to him by turning my face towards Raphael.
"Okay, Alfred. This is Alex, my best friend." Raphael introduced Alex by gesturing his hands towards him.
"Yeah, I know." I replied with a smirk.
"Oh....but how did you know?" Raphael asked in surprise looking towards Alex and me."We just met at the cafe." I replied to him with a blank face.
"Ah.....That's great." Raphael said with a cracked voice. An uncomfortable silence spread through the room and the tension in the room increases gradually.
"Hey, Alfred. You came back?" A voice came by and I turned to look Anna walking towards me. She gave a hug to me with a warm smile.
"Yeah, Anna." I replied to her and got separated from the hug.
"Where you been all this time long?" Anna asked with concern.
"Ahhh...I am just wandering around the place." I replied to her to assure her.
"Ohhh... I am just worried about you that you were lost somewhere." Anna chuckled.
"Ha...I am not a baby. I know where I am." I replied to her with a blank face.
"Okay, that's fine. Come let's have dinner." Anna said and turned her heels to walk towards the kitchen. Then, she stopped on her way and turned her face towards Alex and Raphael,
"Are you both not gonna eat?" Anna asked them.
"We will, mom." Raphael replied to her.
"Okay, come soon sons." Anna said and turned to leave the room to fill with deadly silence again.
"Ah, let's go to eat dinner." Raphael broke the silence and Alex nodded to him.
Then, we all left the room and reached the dining table which is already filled with food. It looks delicious and I felt hunger at the sight. As I haven't eaten anything properly, since I came here.
"Take a seat and fill yourselves with food." Anna announced from the corner of the table when we reached the table.
I took a seat beside Anna and to my opposite, there sat Raphael followed by Alex next to him.
I filled my plate with some vegetable salad and a sandwich. Then, I began to eat my plate.
"Have some soup, Alfred." Anna told me with a smile and slide the soup bowl towards me.
"Of course." I said and took the bowl in my hands. I searched for the spoon but It's not there on the table.
"I am sorry, Alfred. The spoon is in the kitchen counter. If you don't mind go get your self a spoon from there." Anna said with a smile.
"That's okay, Anna. I will get it." I said to her and stood from the seat to leave for the kitchen.
I went to the counter to get myself a spoon when I crossed the counter. Something caught in my eyes and I stood there to find a bottle lying, what was that?
I was shocked to find that it was a sleeping pill. I felt confused at that,
'What for, it is here?' I muttered under my breath.
"Do you need any help?" Anna asked me sitting in the dining table.
"No, I found it." I replied to her and thought to leave the kitchen with confusion about the pills resting there.
"Here you are?" Anna said with a smile and I just nodded in response.
I sat back on my seat and took the bowl in my hands to sip it. Before, I got a sip from it,
"You are not having this soup?" I asked Anna, looking around the table for the others to have a soup bowl of this.
"Ahh...We just had it before you came." She replied with a slightly cracked voice.
"Is that so?" I said and looked at the soup in my hands with confusion.
"Don't think too much. Just eat already." Anna said hurriedly.
"Okay." I said and brought the bowl next to my chin. And I deeply inhaled to reveal the soup's smell. I analysed the smell with my powers inside me and I felt something is mixed up along with it.Then, I got the idea of what they would have mixed in it. Yes, that's the sleeping pill from the kitchen.
