The ride back home was nothing fancy for all four of them. Dhruv was driving and Manik was sitting on the passenger seat. Nandini was sleeping in Alya's lap and Alya looked aimlessly at the hills. She sighed and said "what next? I can't let Nandini suffer. I choose to be a vampire that I can protect her from evil. This world is a bad place and she is too innocent." Manik looked at a sleeping Nandini from rear view mirror cuddling into Alya like 2 year old. A faint smile touched his lips for this baby. "I don't know Alya what is next but I promise that I will protect her even if it means I have to die." Manik tried to assure Alya but Alya cut him off and said "Don't die on her Manik, she has already lost too many people in her life and you are her sanity, her peace and her hope if you really wanna promise; promise me that you will live for her and with her no matter what." Manik nodded in assurance and said "but before you jump in this war you have to prepare yourself. We don't know what forces are gonna come to us. We need to start your training from tomorrow. Get ready." Alya nodded in agreement and the rest of the journey was passed in silence.
