I had no choice but to adapt and that&#8217;s what I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A bit vague, aren&#8217;t we. So is anyone here tonight?&#8221; I said trying to lighten Mr. Bipolar&#8217;s mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A couple of people,&#8221; He seemed distracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Forever vague,&#8217; I rolled my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We stopped in a large hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Wow, this is \u2026 Very regal isn&#8217;t it,&#8221; I said looking around the hall and taking in all the small fine details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hmm, I guess, thanks,&#8221; He said sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stood watching me as I walked around and looked at the house in awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Bring a lot of women back, do you?&#8221; I don&#8217;t even know why I asked that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stopped me and looked at me seriously, &#8220;No, why do you ask that?&#8221; He sounded concerned, but I just shrugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He opened his mouth as if to speak, but was cut off by a masculine voice calling to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Dario\u2026&#8221; A tall wall of a man stepped out of the room to the side but stopped both speaking and walking when he saw me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man looked to be in his twenties, but was built like a wrestler or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would be scared if I were human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had looked at me curiously, with a serious expression before Dario cleared his throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes, Mariusz?&#8221; He said the man, who I guess is Mariusz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hmm\u2026&#8221; He looked between me and Dario and then smiled knowingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The one or other?&#8221; He asked in an amused tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I heard Dario growl and not a little growl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He sighed deeply and looked at me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Can you just wait here a minute, I&#8217;ll be right back,&#8221; He asked me regrettably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I nodded and he smiled. &#8220;I promise, I will only be a minute,&#8221; And he places a sweet kiss on my forehead, surprising his friend, if his expression is anything to go by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He then walked into the room follow shortly by the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was thankful they didn&#8217;t go too far, so I could still hear them thanks to me vampire hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t give me that look,&#8221; I heard a hushed, but annoyed Dario say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So, you taking up one night stands or is this something else?&#8221; A voice I recognized as Mariusz said, sounding amused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dario didn&#8217;t answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If it&#8217;s just a one night thing, you can leave her here and I&#8217;ll have her after you, she&#8217;s pretty hot. Mask and all,&#8221; I could tell by his tone he was teasing Mario, trying to get a reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You touch her and I will tear your throat out,&#8221; Dario yelled, followed by a bang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was shocked by his reaction, after all, we had just met.<br>I had to hold myself back, to not go and see what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were a few seconds of silence then the sound of Mariusz laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So she&#8217;s &#8216;it&#8217; hey?&#8221; He asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I heard no reply, but by what Mariusz said next I guess Dario nodded or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;How did you find her?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t guess by the masks?&#8221; Dario sounded sarcastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I was wondering man. But I thought maybe after all these years you had gotten some kind of fetish,&#8221; Mariusz laughed and so did Dario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What happened? We heard a bang?&#8221; I heard hurried footsteps from a couple of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A bit late,&#8221; Mariusz sounded cold.<br>&#8220;You are lucky this time, but what if something had really happened,&#8221; Dario scolded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sorry, sir,&#8221; The two unknown men said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s that smell?&#8221; One of the strangers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Human?&#8221; The second man asked in a questioning tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before anyone else could say anything, I heard the sound of run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oh, shit! Stop him!&#8221; Dario yelled in a panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly without anyone warning, a man appears in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What the fuck?! You scared the hell out of me!&#8221; I scold the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he doesn&#8217;t say anything, he just lurches at with almost insane look on his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He grabs me, but I am quick to react.<br>I grabbed hold of the man&#8217;s arm and threw him against the wall, knocking him out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole incident lasted less than five seconds but seemed longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only then do I hear more hurried footsteps and then silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I turned to see Dario, Mariusz and another man standing just inside the doorway staring down at the now unconscious first unknown man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What happened?&#8221; Dario asked sounding as shocked as the others looked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was never that good at lying, even now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mean, I don&#8217;t normally lie, after all it&#8217;s not as if my victims ever asked if I am going to kill them or if I am a vampire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I quickly think of something to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Um\u2026 He is crazy I think\u2026 He just run in and ran into the wall.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Yeah, good job, Marie,&#8217; I think sarcastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Seriously?&#8221; Mariusz asked, I can tell by his tone and everyone&#8217;s expressions, they know I&#8217;m lying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You are a rubbish liar,&#8221; Dario states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;OK, so maybe I might have thrown him at the wall. But I had too, I think his on drugs,&#8221; I looked down, while shuffled my feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few seconds of silence, I look up to see everyone looking more shocked than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not that unbelievable&#8221; I mumbled under my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;How did you do that? I mean you\u2019re tiny and he is\u2026&#8221; The second man starts to say but doesn&#8217;t finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Can&#8217;t you tell?&#8221; I try to sound serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Know, what?&#8221; Dario looked curious with his head tipped to the side slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I somehow manage to keep a straight face, &#8220;I&#8217;m a \u2026&#8221; I pause for suspense, &#8220;Superhero.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dario raises an eyebrow and smirks, &#8220;You see now? I got a mask and everything.&#8221; Still keeping a straight face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Really?&#8221; The second man asks.<br>I nod in reply.<br>A big smile goes on his face, &#8220;That is so cool. A real super hero,&#8221; He grins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Dario and Mariusz look at him as if he had gone crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man walks closer and stops in front of me, &#8220;Can you fly?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Really?&#8221; I ask, not believing someone could be so trusting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He nods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look over his shoulder and look at Dario and whisper to him from behind my hand, &#8220;Did you never tell your friend superheroes and Santa isn&#8217;t real?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They both laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I look back to the other man and pat him on the shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dario walks over and takes my hand and pulls me away from the man.<br>I look at him, &#8220;What?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You cannot touch him,&#8221; He said seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry. What is he your boyfriend or something?&#8221; I mean it in all seriousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mariusz burst out laughing, whilst the second man, tried to wake the first up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every now and then looking at me in awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Alright, that&#8217;s a bit creepy,&#8217; I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What?&#8221; Dario looked at me with furrowed eyebrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No!&#8221; He sounds angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I smirk at his reaction but try to hide it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If you say so\u2026&#8221; I say in a nonchalant tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His seem to darken slightly or I guess it could just be a light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He takes me by the hand and begins to drag me towards the stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What are you doing?&#8221; I yell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to prove to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that he picks me up bridal style and continues up the stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You were moving too slow,&#8221; He states coldly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I heard Mariusz laughing as go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I fold my arms across my chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I can walk, you know?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t answer and continues to walk, until we reached a large oak door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are here&#8221; he said opening the door and walks in, closing the door with his foot, to reveal a large bedroom, in the center a giant four post bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dario walked over to the bed and place me down.<br>I try to get up, but he stops me.<br>I try again, but the same thing happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He looks me up and down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Take your mask off!&#8221; He orders me.<br>I do as his asks, whilst he watches me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You are so beautiful.&#8221; He leaned in closer and ran his cold fingers down my warm face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is another thing that makes me different from normal vampires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You are so cold&#8221; I say, he quickly goes to pull away, but I stop him.<br>I reach up to take off his mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Why?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Just don&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think for a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ah, I understand,&#8221; I say, nodding to myself. &#8220;You don&#8217;t want me to recognize you once I leave.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You will not be leaving! You are mine mine!&#8221; He growls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Just my luck. I got a crazy one here,&#8217; I roll my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And how are you meant to stop me?&#8221; I tease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not scared in the slightest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I see a glint in his eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Like this,&#8221; He grabs my arms and chains my arms to the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Kinky, aren&#8217;t we?&#8221; He seems surprised by my reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Why are you scared?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Should I be? Do you want to scare me?&#8221; I question him. I can play scare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No, I just don&#8217;t want you to leave me,&#8221; He said almost sadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I laugh, &#8220;Well, this isn&#8217;t really a good way to start. You could have ask, I might said yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You would have?&#8221; He asks hopeful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I sigh looking away and put on an expression of mock hurt. &#8220;I guess we&#8217;ll never know now.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look up at Dario who is now wearing a distressed look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Why do you want me to stay so bad?&#8221; I want to get some answers, before getting free. Which I could do in a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You wouldn&#8217;t believe me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Try me, I mean it&#8217;s not as if I&#8217;m going anywhere,&#8221; I shake the chains for affect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He looks and me and sighs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I guess you\u2019re right. There are many things out there people don&#8217;t know about and can never,&#8221; He sits next to me and runs his cold fingers up and down my arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What are you trying to say?&#8221; I was getting confused by his cryptic answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He sighs again and runs his hand through his hair. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to scare you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If you chaining me to a bed doesn&#8217;t scare me, I think I will be okay,&#8221; I laugh, he looks and agrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Why aren&#8217;t you scared?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I promise, if you tell me what I want to know then I&#8217;ll tell you,&#8221; I wink at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He growls and places a single kiss on my lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though it was only short, it was like nothing I had ever felt before.<br>It was the best feeling ever, I wanted more. But I still want answers first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You felt that?&#8221; I nod.<br>He was still only inches from my face and now instead of touching my arm, was touching my cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You are my beloved,&#8221; He tells me with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought for a minute. It sounded familiar.<br>&#8216;Wait a second, where have I heard that before?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Beloved?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_3262\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"3262\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/mazimai.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 3 &#8220;So how many others live here?&#8221; I asked Dario as he opened the front door. &#8220;Me, my parents sometimes stay and a few others\u2026&#8221; He was very vague, he sounded like he was hiding something.
