"You're not supposed to open this book, little girl"

"The curse can't be lifted unless your hands decide to join us"

"Who are you?"

"I'm the vampire you freed and I think you have the power to enter my world, darling"

I thought I was only dreaming. The next thing I knew, I am completely blinded by a beautiful creature in front of me. He was dreamy. His skin was so soft I wanted to touch it. His eyes only gazed at mine as I tried to fit myself at my own space, I made a mistake by opening this strange looking book that I got at the book store near by my university.

"You came from inside the book, didn't you?" I am genuinely asking him whether he did. I never thought a vampire could look this dashing before my very eyes.

"I did. And there's just not me" he replied. Even his voice sounded perfect to my ears. "You don't get scared by my presence, by my appearance and by me. Maybe you're destined to enter my world and free us"

"Your world? There are more of you too?" Then he meant that there are more vampires living out there? Or inside that book?

"Yes, we are trapped inside that book. No one could unbind us from the curse we have suffered for years." He explained while he looked outside my window, it's already dark.

"What's your name, child?"

"I'm not a child. I'm 21 years old."

"And my name's Reina" I almost whispered, looking away from him.

Do I look like a damn child?

"You're an orphan. Your Mom died when you were born. Your Dad left you alone in the orphanage when you're only 6 years old. You grew up living alone not depending on anyone; you wanted a more adventurous life. You envy all the children but you enjoy the satisfaction of being alone and you are Reina Denra"

"Why'd you even ask my name if you know all of that about me?" I asked in confusion. What? Is he an FBI agent or what?

"You are the reincarnation of the Queen"

I AM WHAT-

"You're joking, aren't you? I'm just an art student, a bookworm, a loner, an introvert-"

"I said what I said" he cut me off and got off of me. He bent his knee and offered his right hand.

"Now, would you give me the honor to take you to my world and save me?"
