Not a villain. Not a brooding love-interest. Just a normal, high school vampire. As a vampire, Anna knows about hunting. She knows how to find isolated prey, how to put people at ease, how to leave no trace behind. What she doesn't know about is high school. Students don't pay attention, her English teacher repeats the same lesson for days on end, and why does she seem to be the only one not bolting for the door when the bell rings? With one friend who's obsessed with vampires and another who's not quite what she seems to be, Anna has to learn the rules of high school fast if she wants to remain undetected. As attacks throughout the city increase, suspicions mount. Anna tries to go unnoticed, but when her newfound friend sets out to prove the attacks are being caused by a vampire, Anna is left to wonder if her dark secret will be discovered. And what will happen to her if it is?

There are many games out in the world, but I liked this one single game, the game which took the gaming community like a storm, everyone talked about it and everyone wanted to play it.

I was no different, I was just a girl who loved games, and yet somehow after two long years of playing the game, I ended up inside the game as a villainous extra with not a single line in the game's progression!

But that does not mean I am going to die like in the original! *******************The golden light enveloped everything as the red sun slowly rose. A woman stood amidst a battlefield painted red with the blood of many fallen soldiers and wizards. Her long black hair, which looked like a void, cascaded around her in the morning breeze, which carried the pungently sweet scent of death.

Her clear blue eyes, which resembled the deep and vast ocean, stared directly at the blonde man in shining armor. Her arms loosely hung as her posture stooped, she waved her two short, intricately designed black daggers dripping with blood at the man taunting him.

The blonde-haired, handsome man stared at her with his determined blue eyes as he pointed his big and glimmering sword at her.

The woman's stone-cold face slowly turned to a malicious sneer as she licked the blood in her daggers right before charging at the man.

The Faith Providence Highschool Ghost Hunters Club is tightening its belts for an expedition into the Pool Park Asylum. This building fell into disuse after serving as a treatment facility for individuals with mental health issues. The reasons behind its collapse are complex and varied, despite the apparent sparing of no expense in its construction. However, a myriad of scandals has imbued the building's history with an absurd and terrifying value, leading to its failure in the market and eventual abandonment.

Rumors abound of horrifying occurrences such as poltergeist activity, shadowy apparitions, whispers, and the screams of a woman. It is said, like a comet returning once in a century, there was once a patient whose outer beauty was inversely proportional to her tormented psyche. Ostracized from her family for bringing shame and deemed to have no future, she became prey to the predatory behavior masked as medical treatment, sealing her fate in darkness and despair.

Anyone daring to step foot in this place is assured a fatal outcome.

"That's not... oh... oh, Jesus."

How to date a vampire?

I'll tell you!

You'll need to give him hugs, daily, and also... other things.

Oh, and blood. He needs blood.

How do I know?

My boyfriend's a vampire! Or at least I think.

He's very dark and brooding, but... I notice he loves sweet things. Why doesn't everyone else know that?

His blood is his coffee, he loves dumping sugar in it.

It's odd, but I don't judge! I can just get him chocolate.

So how to date a vampire?

Good question, I'm still learning.

Maya Quinn is a nineteen-year-old scholar at her favorite university in Colorado. Although, she also works hard at her desk in a publishing company miles from her school. While cute, kind, and vulnerable, Maya works hard at her desk, and her closed-off coworker, Kai, sits across from her, quiet as hard shadows cross his face. Things took an unexpected turn when Kai expressed his love for her, and she was left staring at him as his lips lay inches from hers, wondering what lay behind those cold eyes.

Vampire or not,

She couldn't resist him if she tried.

Two Strangers on the Bed

It was one hour or so after the bus started moving and Pramod knew it would take nearly ten hours or so to the bus to reach his destination. The bus was almost empty except two passengers on the rear side. It was evening four and Pramod put himself reading some ebook in his smart-phone by the time the bus stopped in a bus station. Pramod could not remain without observing the proceedings then and the two passengers who were in the bus till that moment alighted from it and some three passengers entered into it.

“I think I know you.” The twenty two years or so young girl, who was one of the passengers entered into the bus came straight to him and slumped herself on the seat beside him.

“I am just thinking like that.” With a smile on his lips Pramod said. “After studying together three years in the same class in the same college, it is nearly impossible not to know each other, is it is not?” There was the same happy and surprising expression in his face reflecting hers. It was indeed impossible to forget Sameera who was the most beautiful woman in their college at that time.

“Of course, you are right!” her laughter was mellifluous and he could not remain without observing minutely her youthful and beautiful figure.

It was very much surprising to him that she came like that, slumped beside him and started talking so! Not just he, almost all the boys in the college used to observe and try to make friendship with her while they were studying in the college. But it was only he who never tried to let his interest on her to be known to anyone.

“You never used to talk with anyone, a reserved type! I think it was only you who never has shown any interest in me.”

While he was thinking furiously what to talk she said again. That meant he really could manage that his interest on her not to be known to her.

“Really you did observe that much of me?” the surprise was genuine in the face of Pramod. “You also very much reserved type and never appeared to show interest on anyone.”

“But I showed some interest on you.” the serious expression in her face was surprised Pramod. “Because you appeared handsome to me and on some occasions I wanted to talk with you. Before doing anything like that, our college education was over and we parted our ways. Anyhow.........” once again her laughter was mellifluous “...............just because mine was mere interest on you and nothing more I did not feel much at all.”

“No problem whatsoever.” Pramod also laughed. “But as you are open like this to me I also want to open with you. Just like the other boys, probably even more, I also was attracted towards you.  I also did some research on you and came to know some of the details about you.”

But he did not want to say what he came to know about her because it was not very much glorious. She was the eldest daughter in a poor family which comprised one sister and one brother. Her father was doing a very small job, her family was struggling a lot for maintenance and in fact looking forward for her completing education and join in a job.

“It is a surprise to me! You never appeared like a boy to show interest on girls like that.” She smiled.

“Unless you were such beautiful...........” he did not know how he was saying it like that. “..........I would not have bothered like that. Anyhow, no problem! Long before I found out mine also was just interest on you and nothing more.”

There was some silence between them both and both of them were observing the nature outside while the bus was moving fast. Just minutes before the bus crossed the concrete jungle and entered onto the road which was laid through the green fields.

“I really like observing the greenery in this way.” She said with a slow voice.

“It would be even more wonderful if you observe that sitting beside the window. Please come into my seat.” Pramod got off from the seat he sat.

Pramod reserved his seat in the internet and she bought her seat at the counter in the bus-station.

“But you would have reserved that window seat particularly for the pleasure of observing outside.” The gathered frowns on her forehead were also beautiful while she was saying that.

“You sacrificed the pleasure of sitting at a window seat even there are so many window seats vacant now.” He smiled and said. “Its a pleasure to me to give you the pleasure to observe the nature through the window.”

Then it just took seconds to both of them to change their seats. Once again there was silence between them both until the bus passed through the greenery and entered into concrete jungle again.

“What you are doing now? Still studying?” suddenly breaking that silence and looking into his face, she asked him.

“I put a stop to my studies when I was selected as a bank manager. I really did not expect but when I have been qualified in the competitive exam for manager for a nationalised bank I could not deny that.” There was little regret in his face as he did not like much what he did.

“Really a nice thing in my opinion!” She smiled. “But it seems that you have not enjoyed what you did.”

“You are right. I really did not like to stop pursuing my English literature in M.A. and do Ph.D also in that. My family was not in very much financial need also at that time. But everyone said getting a job as a manager in a nationalised bank is not a small thing. I was sort of hypnotised and joined in that job.”

“Really it was so?” she laughed her mellifluous laughter gain. “If it was so, why did you apply to that competitive exam? Even you applied for it, why did you write that exam that much better? If you did not write it better, you need not have done the thing you were not interested in.”

“I have applied for that competitive exam just casually along with my friends. Even more casually I wrote the exam without any idea that I do write it that much better that I would be called for an interview. When I have attended that interview......”

“.............you have no idea that you would do it better and select for the job.” She interrupted him and said sighing heavily. “I know how much painful it is to do things which we don’t like.”

“I did another very much painful thing which I did not like at all.”

She knitted her brows and looked into his face with a questioning expression.

“I got married.” He too sighed heavily. “I have become a target to the fathers of the girls once I settled in a good job like that and it did not take much time that my marriage was performed with a girl.”

“Sooner or later you have to be married. What that much worrying in getting married once you are settled in a good job also?” there was again a questioning expression in her face. “Were you in love with someone? Wanted to marry some other girl but that was not possible and have married to your wife?”

“It was not at all so.” He smiled but still with frowns and regretting expression in his face. “But I don’t want to be married at the age of twenty three and become a father also just by the age of twenty four itself!”

“Congratulations! Now you are a father also.” the frowns on her face were cleared and she smiled. “Is it is a son or daughter?”

“I am the father of one year aged son.” He once again sighed heavily.

“At the age of twenty five my dad has me, my sister and my brother, I came to know” she said with an admonishing expression in her face. “It was not very much horrifying and surprising! You are indeed lucky that you got a son. You have to enjoy your life.”
