Chapter 4 THE ENCOUNTERS

Only to stop outside her apartment and she just stares at the door rather than getting inside as if she is really not interested to even enter inside her house after which she looks at her watch and comes across the fact that it's 10 PM and very soon after that she takes out phone from her pocket and ends up messaging the manager of the company

"I won't come to work tomorrow as I am still not in a very good condition and hence need some more time to rest - Monica Swazsky"

And after sending the message , she now puts her thumb on the security system which soon opens the door after scanning and matching her thumb print with the system and as the door opens , the very next moment she hears

"Welcome back Miss Monica Swazsky , it's 10:02 PM", which is done by an automatic entry tracker in the security system which also keeps track of the entry and exit of it's owner and soon after her entry inside , the door locks automatically in few milliseconds

And instead of eating , she rather goes to her bed and as soon as she enters in her bedroom , AC system automatically detects her entry and it starts with the controlled temperature according to her body heat which is determined by the sensors in it

And she also falls flat on the bed by putting TV on which is also voice controlled and starts finding a good movie to watch as she is really feeling very low only for her to stumble upon her favourite movie named ,"LOVE WAS WHEN I LOVED YOU",when she surfs movie channels

She starts watching it by playing it from beginning as the half movie is already gone when she finally finds it out and as usual she just stares at the protagonist of the film named Noah who has been her heart throb since she saw him for the first time in the same film around 10 years back when it was released

And since then she has watched this film for more than 200 times only to hit on the protagonist of the film as she is the kind of guy about which she has always thought of to be his life partner , urge of which has been increasing continuously in her since last few months since astrologer told her that she will meet her life partner this year as she has already wasted 350 years of her life without any partner or love

But before the film could get over , she ends up sleeping as she is extremely exhausted and tired as well with whatever happened the whole day , only to wake up listening to the bell and she stumbles across a fact that someone is standing outside her house as announced by the security system

After which she looks into the camera which is installed in her room to have look at the one who is standing outside which is installed in her bedroom itself and upon looking at it she comes across a girl who is standing outside her house which leaves her little baffled as she haven't seen this girl before hence she just orders the system to open the door

But as soon as the door opens , she sees that the girl is nowhere to be seen anymore who was standing there just few moments ago and while she is thinking about the same that girl once again appears before her who is around 8 years old and seems like she is here for some kind of help which is visible through her action

"Hey , I am Stephanie but you can also call me Steph which is short , sweet and simple and sorry to bother you so late in night but I needed your help as my mom hasn't yet came back from her work and tomorrow is a fancy dress competition in my school for which she told me that she will come and help me with my theme dress", The girl speaks out the reason to bother Monica so late in night

"And what is your theme ?", Monica responds

"Vampire , I am going to dress like the vampires as I really like those creatures as they really have some cool powers wich everyone wants to attain", The girl responds with a reaction that she knows very much about vampires upon which Monica gives a wide smile to her

"Then I'll surely help you out because I like them too as they are really cool without any doubt", Monica tells to help her out with her dress for the next day competition and soon she starts preparing dress for her out of some black clothes which is spare in her wardrobe

And within matter of an hour she prepares a beautiful dress which will perfectly resemble the vampire and the girl can surely win the competition with some beautiful makeup on her face which will add more life to theme

"Here is your vampire dress and now you just have to put on some makeup while you get ready for the competition tomorrow morning while going to school", Monica tells her while showing her the dress who is watching animation show on TV

But when Monica stumbles in her bedroom , she comes across the fact that the girl already slept on her bed and so she just switches off the TV and just covers her with blanket while she herself settles in hall on sofa to sleep as it's already 11:30 PM

Only for her to open her eyes after a while once again with some whispering sound in her ears and as soon as she opens her eyes , the very next moment the very same girl who was sleeping in the bedroom is seen by her now standing right in front of her sofa and suddenly the whole scenario of the hall changes as it turns into a pitch dark jungle kind of location

And before Monica could understand anything suddenly she comes across a voice ,"Welcome to the Nevarraian land and now you are going die for sure as it's impossible for anyone to come here and get out without being sacrificed"

And soon after that she sees a group of Nevarraian clan who belong to the hellhound species coming towards her because of which she also comes in her real form which is way more dangerous than her simple look as suddenly her canine teeths comes out of her mouth while her eye colour changes in pitch dark red colour like blood along with the fang which appears on her back in order to fly and defend herself

And a battle begins between them in which she ultimately turns out to be the winner as Neopatran vampires are still very new before her as this clan itself came into existence just around 500 years ago and hence she ends up killing whole group of the Neopatran vampires and once again after that the location turns into her hall which was just an illusion created by them to hunt her

And now she really understands the warning of leader Shoma that she shouldn't really trust anyone because Neopatran vampires are behind her and if they are able to kill her then it will destroy the whole balance of the underworld and thinking about the same she once again puts on TV and plays the same movie in order to calm down her senses because the protagonist of the film is the only person who gives her a sense of calmness

And now she really feels hungry after the battle and hence brings out the meat of the person whom she killed last night and soon she eats it after cooking it thoroughly while watching her favourite movie which she can watch continuously on loop just because of the charming and breathtaking hotness of the protagonist in the movie

The very next day she wakes up to see that last night she actually ended up eating all the human flesh in excitement as almost whole night she kept on eating the remaining flesh portions slowly and steadily while enjoying the film because if which again had to go for the hunt of new person today and hence she again reaches in one of the local bars

And after reaching bar she starts waiting for a good guy to appear before her as she plans to hunt a gentleman today as she is fed up of hunting the cunning and pervert guys and now wants to change her taste and simultaneously she stumbles upon a guy who is enjoying his drink sitting in one corner of the bar sofa and she gets kind of attracted towards him at very first sight

He is claded in a tight fitting tuxedo with the same colour from top to bottom which is pitch black which is really complimenting his complex which is amalgamated with a beautifully trimmed beard which is adding more beauty in his looks

Soon after noticing him , she also decides to join him as she feels that she has finally got the one which she wanted and hence she starts conversation with him as soon as she settles down on the sofa kept before him

"I hope you won't mind me sitting here", she tells him while settling down on the sofa

"Not at all , rather I would like to have company of such a beautiful lady like you", he responds with a smile on his face

"By the way , I am Monica Swazsky and I work in a law firm", She introduces herself which leaves that guy little confused as he never saw someone who could tell things about her within few seconds of beginning of the conversation

"I am Chris Romano and I am an investment banker", He also introduces himself with a bit of awkwardness and confusion as well

And now she starts staring him from top to bottom and the more she looks at him , the more attractive he is looking with the passing time and she makes it clear that she will surely hunt him down today under any circumstances

As she feels that he will really provide her with many important aspects like beauty , intelligence and many other things as she knows about the level of his intelligence after having few minutes of conversation with him as she really cannot stop but just stare at him helplessly as if she is mesmerised
