Author’s Point of View:
The sky was black, and the moon was full. Everywhere was silent, and even the crickets which usually disturb the night with its presence were nowhere to be found. All these bear witness to the abomination that transpired between a vampire and a shadow hunter.
Mira, Megan and Millen stood in front of their apartment, waiting for their elder sister anxiously.
Mira could be seen pacing around the surroundings nervously, while Megan was trying to call Annabella’s cellphone.
Millen on the other hand didn’t look bothered. It wasn’t like she didn’t care about her elder sister, but she had her own opinion.
“Come on guys, sister Anna is not a child! She is probably drinking exotic wines and dancing to some good music!” Millen said with a carefree voice, trying to assure her sisters that everything was alright. But they were disappointed to hear her words.
“Stop talking like that, sister Millen. You know as much as I do that sister Annabella always answers her phone. Moreover, she said she will be back before midnight, the time is now two o’clock a. m; yet she’s nowhere to be found.
Worst still, she isn’t answering our calls!” Mira cried to her sisters and burst into tears.
Megan hugged her, trying to calm her down. “Don’t worry Mira, big sister will be alright!” She comforted Mira with a gentle voice, but she didn’t sound convinced.
“You guys are so funny! Why are we out in the dark, by this time of the day? What could have possibly happened to my big sister?” Millen growled, annoyed by her sisters’ emotional behavior; but her words ended up getting on Megan’s nerves.
“Will you please shut your crappy-”
Before Megan could complete her statement, a red Lamborghini parked in front of them, and the three sisters jumped up in surprise.
Mira quickly ran to the car, and although Millen wanted to stop her, she was too stunned to do anything.
“It could be kidnappers!” Millen whispered under her breath, her eyes wandering around, trying to find a weapon.
“Then we either protect Mira, or get kidnapped together….” Megan replied with a sarcasm filled voice.
The three ladies watched as Terry came down from the driver’s side. He bowed at them politely, and without waiting for their response, he opened the passenger’s seat and brought out the sleeping Annabella.
“Oh my gosh! It’s big sister!” Mira screamed with excitement, and rushed to Terry’s side.
“I am so sorry for bringing her back this late. She got drunk at the party and fell asleep, so Mr. Logan instructed me to go back home.” Terry lied with a convincing voice.
Megan wanted to carry Annabella, but she was too heavy. “Come and carry her Millen,” She said to her sister, and the latter, Millen, smirked mischievous.
“Why didn’t Logan return her? What if she has gotten defiled in your car?” Millen asked with a grimace on her face. She looked very angry, and her protective side was activated.
She gently collected the sleeping lady from the dumbfounded man, and without waiting for a response, she hissed and entered the house.
Mira and Megan looked at Terry with piercing eyes, unsure of what to say to him. On sensing that a heated conversation might begin, Terry bowed his head respectfully.
“I apologize on behalf of my master. Next time, I am sure he will drop her off in person!” Terry apologized with a polite voice.
“Oh, forget about it. Also, it’s fine as long as my sister is alive and well!” Mira replied with a nonchalant voice, the worried look on her face had disappeared, and she looked more relaxed and happy.
She waved her fingers at Terry, offered him a snug smile and ran into the house.
“Huh uh, that was pretty tough….” Megan muttered and cleared her throat, looking a bit nervous. Terry nodded his head in agreement and turned to leave, but Megan stopped him.
“W wait, have a glass of water before leaving,” she suggested with a seducing voice, winked her eyelashes, and smiled broadly.
Terry’s cheeks began to burn red in embarrassment; but he quickly turned his face to his side and called himself into order.
“Huh…” he cleared his throat briefly, and the professional tone came back to his voice. “I am so sorry, but my master requested I return immediately after dropping Miss Annabella.”
“But, you look tired and -”
“I am doing my job. Have a great day ma’am. Bye!” Terry looked tense, and before Megan could convince him to stay, he bowed and returned to his car.
Megan looked at him with an ignited light in her eyes, and as the Lamborghini drove away, she squinted her eyes, and licked her lips before entering into the house.

Inside Annabella’s Room:
Mira and Millen were having a heated conversation and Millen kept insisting that it was strange for Annabelle to fall asleep at a party.
“Are you trying to say that the poor driver was lying?” Mira asked her sister with arched brows.
They were both standing in front of Annabella’s bed, while Anna laid peacefully in her bed.
“I don’t care about the poor driver. All I’m saying is that something strange is happening!
Firstly Anna, the girl with the retentive memory suddenly forgets that she was supposed to attend a birthday party.
Next, she lost her appetite and thought cakes were nauseous. Then boom, she got drunk at a party, like what the fuvk?” Millen yelled in-between gritting teeth. She looked at Anna suspiciously, and bowed her head.
“I think you are over-”
“Well, I think that’s enough. You will wake her if you continue your lamenting. Let’s leave her alone, when she wakes up tomorrow, you can ask her any question, and she’ll clear your doubts.” Megan advised, interrupting the girls before they began another round of argument.
The two younger sisters nodded their heads in understanding.
“Fine, I will dress her up and come down in a jiffy.” Millen deadpanned with a plain voice, she looked like she still wanted to argue, but she didn’t say anything.
Megan and Mira left the room after pecking Annabella’s cheek.
Millen gently removed Anna’s shoes, and she cleaned her makeup. She also changed her dress.
During the entire process, Annabella kept murmuring some unknown words to herself.
This got Millen curious, and she tried to listen to her carefully, but all she could hear was ‘Arella the seer’ she thought her sister was having a nightmare, and shrugged her shoulders.
Millen walked out of the room, but a few seconds later, she entered. “I totally forgot to take off her necklace! What a waste!” She scolded herself with a scowl on her face.
She carefully raised Annabelle’s neck and removed her necklace. Suddenly, her eyes landed on the bite mark on her sister’s neck, and her eyes widened in shock.
“Vampire’s fang!” Her voice was filled with energy, and her eyes turned red in anger. She clenched her fists and bit her lips with her teeth. A few seconds later, the bite mark vanished, leaving no trace of existence.
“Humm, interesting, so Logan and Terry are vampires!” She muttered in disbelief.
