Chapter 3(Piya's POV)
I missed Abhay the most at this turn of my life. I needed him, but he was gone. Very far from me. He...was..dead. The news of the accident he met with came across my mind. Papa telling me that the brakes of his car failed and the car plunged into the jungle below. I couldn't handle the pain.
More tears fell from my eyes. I remember crying for days...maybe months. I became very ill at the time. I remember hearing the doctor telling papa that I won't live for very long. I couldn't recall what was wrong with me, but whatever it was, it was a deadly disease. They could do nothing to save me. Is this why I was turned into a vampire...to give me another life. But who would do that?
But I don't know why...but I felt Abhay's presence every moment after his death. A strong presence. Every night, I felt like he was there for me, gently stroking my face and giving me my goodnight kiss. Like he never left me.
I felt more grief in knowing that I may never feel him like that never again. I always managed to fall asleep every night because I knew my Abhay was there to protect me. But now it is all an illusion.
Loneliness took over faster than I thought. I wanted to go home. And I could. But no one could see me. Especially Papa. I got up and ran towards a random direction. If I could find the main road, I could easily get home...
After lots of running, I finally found the main road. I recognized it easily.
"Ok...so my home is only a few kilometers away from her." I pressed on.
I finally reached the back side of my house, where the window to my room was located. I found a pipe to climb up on and peered over the window sill. The window was open. I saw Papa sitting next to my bed, holding my favorite teddy bear in his arms. He was crying.
"Piya...why did you leave me?" He said. I tried to hold back my tears.
Then the bedroom door slammed open. Mama walked inside. She looked more angry than upset.
"Are you going to continue to sit her and cry or are you going to have dinner?" She yelled at him.
"Madhu! What nonsense are you saying? Don't you have any shame?"
"Shame?! For that mistake you called your daughter!"
"MADHU!" Papa slapped her.
"Why are you slapping me?" She answered back. "She was never my daughter. And never will be! She never brought us any happiness."
"LEAVE!" He roared. Mama stormed out of the room.
I jumped back down to the ground. I couldn't handle it. I never understood why mama never accepted me, nor let Panchi or Misha accept me. Even if she was my step-mother, I still considered her to be my mother.
I climbed up again, just to see papa one last time. I didn't want to leave, but I had to. No one but papa wanted me to be there. And I couldn't go to him like this. he has to live in my memories and his family. I had to accept my fate and move on.
"You're a vampire now, Piya. Nothing can change the fact.." I told myself.
Once papa left the room...I went inside and grabbed the small tote bag I had hidden behind my desk. It was old and dusty... no one knew I had it.
Now I had to think about my survival. I needed blood the most right now. But I don't want to kill any people. I thought about this for a while...and an idea popped into my head.
"The hospital...I can get blood from there!" I said to myself.
