The sudden coldness at the lab where there are no air-conditioners was switched on from the Start. This shakes Clara 's heart . She turned around and looked everywhere but no one was at the lab . She opened the window, saw that Edward was waiting for her .
" Edward " she shouted from up . He looked up
" What happened " he asked
" Come up fastly " Clara shouted. Edward was afraid that something happened to her so he ran fast upstairs . He opened the door he saw Clara was sweating lot
" What happened? " he asked .
" Just…. I am afraid… " she said , Edward smiled and sat on the chair. Clara felt fine with Edward. She sat some little close with Edward. Clara's eyes got something that was a computer. That computer was on so she checked the laptop , there is a thesis about vampires that Dr. Van Seward left pending. Clara was afraid to read that thesis in front of Edward because he is not human so she printed that out and kept that under her chair .
Time flies, Dr. Van Seward came back from his hospital so Edward left from there . Clara asked to continue what he paused
" There are always mysteries in life. Why was it that Methuselah lived nine hundred years , and ' old parr ' one hundred and sixty nine . Okay , can you tell me why , when other spiders die Small and soon , that one great spider lived for centuries in the towers of the old Spanish church and grew and grew, till,on descending,he could drink the oil of all the church lamps? Can you tell me why in the Pampas,ay and elsewhere,there are bats that come out at night and open the veins of cattle and horses and suck their veins,how in some islands of the western seas there are bats which hang on the trees all day , and those who have seen describe as like giant nuts or pods . " He started to cough so he stopped to talk and Clara said
" Do you mean to tell me that Jennifer was bitten by such a vampire , and that such a thing is here in Spain in the twenty-one century? " . While drinking water he waved his hand for silence , and went on ,
" Can you tell me why the tortoise lives longer than generations of men , why the elephant goes on and on till he has seen dynasties, and why the parrot never dies only of bite of cat and dog or other complaints? Can you tell me why men believe in all ages and places that there are men and women who cannot die ? We all know, because science has vouched for the fact, that there have been toads shut up in rocks for thousands of years, shut in one so small hole that only holds him since the youth of the world. Can you tell me how the Indian fakir can make himself to die and have been buried,and his grave sealed and corn sewed on it , and the corn reaped and be cut and sown and reaped and cut again,and then men come and take away the unbroken seal and that there lie the Indian fakir, not dead, but rise up and walk amongst them as before? ". Here she interrupted him. She was bewildered.
" Let me be your student Dr. Van Seward, tell me your thesis, so that I may apply your knowledge as you go on . At present I am going in my mind from this point as a crazy woman , and not a sane one, following an idea . " Dr. Van Seward smiled and said
" Read the folder that I wrote, wait… " here again Clara interrupt him again with a shame face
" I have the folder doctor … " Dr. Van Seward was surprised and smiled a little
" Take a look at the thesis, when you are home okay time flies . Go home " he said. Clara took out that thesis from under the chair .
" I have one question, you know Edward right I don't know what the relationship is but ... " she said . Dr. Van Seward waved his hands
" Edward… " she stopped,
" I understand , the answer is yes but he was very weak as hell, " he interrupted her .
" Can I ask why he is weak? she asked with Reluctance .Dr. Van Seward thought something for a minute, held Clara hands and said
" A girl's cry can make him weak , the youth girl's blood, mourning of one girl like this If someone is important to him. That makes him weak a lot and sudden warmth can also make him weak, but sometimes when he is down someone's warm will make him feeling good " he said with a smile.
" Okay doctor then I am going bye. Are you free after two days? Let's finish Jennifer's journal, " she said . Clara took that thesis with her , Dr. Van Seward left her at the parking lot and went back to his lab. Clara saw that Edward is waiting for her , she opened the car
" Wow you came early " he said
" Let's go, " she answered with a brighter smile. Edward noted that Clara had some papers and it seemed something was bothering her .
