"I shall be going first and don't worry we will be meeting here next time." She said to me and stood up from the chair.
"Okay." I said and nodded at the same time.
"Good bye." She said and walked towards the door, stopped walking, looked behind her shoulders and said,
"Please, do remember to close the door behind you. This is your dream world."
She then walked away, without even looking back. I then remembered something. I quickly ran out of the door,but she was already gone.
It is a very long and straight corridor, you can easily see someone even from the other end, I guess she disappeared.
I wanted to return to the room,but there was no point going back in there, so I closed the door behind me and started to walk down the corridor.
I woke up on top of my bed in my room.
I opened my eyes slightly and quickly reached for my phone and checked the screen, it was already past seven pm.
I sat up and sighed.
What a long dream.
There were many things I wasn't able to ask her.
I wished I did.
I wanted to know about the time freeze.
I wanted to know if it was real or if I was just the one imagining stupid things.
I wanted to know about the strange person I saw earlier too.
I am so sure about the person I saw earlier, he looked like me in my dream.
He was a vampire too.
If the time freeze was real, then I am very sure and certain that whoever that was, was the person that did it.
I also wanted to know about my dad.
My guardian angel talked about being my father's daughter.
How can I be his daughter when I don't even know the dude.
I may be his daughter biologically,but I am still not his daughter and I might never be.
Mom said he betrayed her and so has Mike.
I still wonder about how mom would feel if she learns about Mike's dirty little secret.
Yeah, she has been heartbroken before by my dad and she is going to be heartbroken again after learning about her husband's greedy personality.
There are many more things I want to talk to my guardian angel about, but she said till next time.
When will that be?
A day?
A week?
A month?
A year?
Who knows?
I just sighed in distress, stood up and stretched.
I came out of the room that was given to me by Lizzy and searched for her.
They were all watching a soap opera in the living room.
I just walked towards them and joined them, even though I wasn't interested in the show.
I sat between J.J and Raymond. I think they were keeping their distance, because there was enough space for two people between them.
There was also a complete silence, as no one of them said anything even after noticing my presence.
I decided to ask an awkward question to break the silence, because I was becoming bored, not understanding the show.
I sighed first, then I cleared my throat and asked,
"What's the movie about?"
But, no one replied, I rolled my eyes and kissed my teeth.
I stood up to leave them and go for an evening of fresh air and maybe a short walk round the house.
I quickly walked across the living room,so that I won't be on their way or block them.
I came out of the living room and was on the veranda.
I slowly inhaled the fresh air and exhaled calmly and quietly with my lips a bit apart.
I came out of the veranda and sat on one of the short stairways.
The cool breeze blowing past me was so gentle, that I felt relaxed and at ease, smiling.
I then decided to go for a short walk before the soap opera would come to an end.
I stood up and started walking across the field with my hands inside my pocket.
I stopped walking when I noticed someone else's presence, it wasn't an ordinary human. It's the same,as the one I felt earlier before I went to sleep, the one after the time froze.
I looked around, but didn't see anyone.
Am I having an illusion?
No, this can't be an illusion, I can still feel the odd and unfamiliar presence.
I turned around sharply again,but saw no one still.
I gave up and shrugged,as I continued to walk across the field.
Just then, someone walked past me, but the person was so fast that I couldn't even catch a quick glimpse of what he or she looked like.
I didn't want to go in search of an unknown person again, so I continued to go my way, as if nothing had happened.
Just then, once again, the person walked past again, I became freaked out and began to run back to the house.
I stopped running and froze when I saw a very strange looking person standing in front of me.
It was a female, I am not sure about her age, but she looks young, but should be a bit older than I am.
She was a vampire, but trust me when I say she wasn't the same person from earlier today, that one was a male.
Wow!
There is another vampire?
I was scared at first, but she looks calm.
She then began to walk towards me, while I walked backwards.
She increased her pace a bit and I took to my heels.
I ran as fast as I could, but she was faster, she was able to catch up with me.
She walked and stood in front of me, staring at me, as if I was some scary creature like her.
"H….He…..Hey…Hey." She greeted me and waved at me at the same time.
"What do you want from me?" I asked her, as I was still terrified.
"Nothing, I am here to help you." She said, as she was trying to smile, it was awkward.
"Help me?" I asked.
"Yes." She said and nodded at the same time.
"But I don't know you." I said to her with a frown.
"You don't need to know me." She said,
"No, I will have to know you first." I confronted her.
"Okay, if you insist, I am Veronica. I guess you already know what I am." She said with a smile.
"What if I don't." I said.
"I am a vampire, just like you and I am here to help you." She said and laughed softly.
She was dressed in a similar way in which my guardian angel dressed me in my dream.
"Okay, what can you help me do?" I asked.
"What do you want me to help you with?" I asked.
"Anything you want." She said and shrugged.
"How did you find me?" I asked curiously.
"My brother said he came here to hunt, he froze time and saw someone who wasn't affected, so I came to see for myself if it was true." She explained to me.
"Your brother?"
"Was he the one I saw earlier?" I asked.
"Yes." She replied and nodded at the same time.
"Do vamps freeze or stop time?" I asked.
"Yes."
"Can I do it too?" I asked curiously.
"Yes." She replied and nodded at the same time.
"Can you teach me how to do it?" I asked.
"Yes, but it will take time.You have to learn more important things first." She said,
"What are they?" I asked.
"To transform into a vampire first." She replied.
"And how do I do that?" I asked.
"How to control your powers." She said,
"Let's do it then." I said to her,
"It will be tomorrow, because I only came here to see things for myself." She said,
"At what time?" I asked.
"I will freeze the time and no one will notice." She said and smiled.
"Okay." I said and nodded at the same time.
"See you tomorrow." She said and waved at me and then left,but before I could even wave back and say bye, she was gone.
I wasn't sure if I should tell Lizzy or not, but I decided not to tell her.
I have to keep it to myself.
I returned to the house again and sat down on the stairway again.
Just then, Raymond came out and joined me in the stairway, sitting beside me.
"Hey." He greeted and shrugged, pushing me slightly.
"Hey." I greeted her.
"Have the movie ended?" I asked.
"No." He replied.
"So, why did you leave the rest?" I asked.
"I was not focusing. I was just thinking about you. The main lead reminds me of you, so I just started to think about you." He replied.
"What is it about?" I asked.
"It's about a girl that is going through a lot, but she has no one to talk to, except a boy who is not currently in town. So, she became very devastated and lost hope." He replied to me.
"So, what happened?" I asked.
"She later found someone else, after learning that the boy won't be coming back to her. She finally found someone who she loved more than the other boy." He said.
"So, how is she related to me?" I asked mockingly.
"Because she has almost the same aura as you, she is beautiful and smart. You are even more beautiful and smarter than her." He said to me, grinning.
"Wow, but I am a vamp. Okay, let's keep that aside, who are the old and new boyfriends?" I asked again, mockingly and giggled.
"The old boyfriend is J.J, while the current one is me." He said and laughed softly.
I just rolled my eyes and shook my head without saying anything.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" He asked.
I shook my head and asked,
"What do you want me to say?"
"Anything." He replied and shrugged.
"Anything like what?" I asked and giggled.
"Just anything." He said, giving me the biggest smile of his life.
"Okay." I said and nodded at the same time.
"Go on." He said.
"Wait, there is something that I have been meaning to ask you." I said to him,
"What is it?" He asked, concerned.
"You know, the remaining meat, did you take them?" I asked curiously.
"No, I didn't."
"Why?" He asked.
"I can't find it." I said with a frown and then pouted.
"Really?" He asked and I nodded without saying anything.
"Yes." I replied.
"Should I go get you another one?" He asked, concerned.
I shook my head and replied,
"There's no need, I am not hungry."
"What if you do?" He asked, concerned. Looking at me,as if he could see through me.
"I won't." I replied and shook my head at the same time.
"Incase you do. I can give you my blood." He said with a smile.
"Thanks." I said to him with a big smile on my face.
"You are welcome." He said and patted me on my head at the same time.
"Incase you need my help for anything,be it flesh or blood, don't hesitate to tell me, okay?" He asked.
"Are you going to give me your wrist?" I asked jokingly and laughed softly.
He laughed too and replied,
"If the need arises."
He inhaled the fresh air and exhaled calmly.
"Eunice." He called out my name.
"Yes." I replied to him and turned my head to face him.
"What would you like to do after all these are over?" He asked, concerned.
I sighed very deeply and said,
"I don't know yet, it depends on how everything turns out to be." I replied to him.
"What do you mean?" He asked curiously.
"I don't know the future, but I hope everything goes back to normal, as if nothing has happened." I replied to him with a smile.
"Will you like to go back to school?" He asked, as he reached for my palm and held onto it.
