Vampire town

It needs blood. Warm blood

Another story by me, still my own creation and am working on more. Hopes its okay.

1
I looked up to my new house. It was small and beautiful. It was wide and pink in color. I am Ekta, thirteen year old teenage girl. I have shifted up here with my family. My dad is in army so we have to shift our home in every one or two years. I have twin brothers, Rajeev and Sanjeev. Both are ten years old, obviously! They both are exact copy of each other. No one can find out which one is Rajeev and which one is Sanjeev. Only mom can get on it.

And the most horrible thing is that their middle name is trouble maker. You can never find them sitting silently. They cant even spend one hour without creating any trouble. They usually creates trouble for me, mom and dad and finally for them when its their turn to get scolded. We came out of our car and gave a fine look to our new house. I just love pink color. Rajeev said, Yeeewww! What a girly color. Dad we need to paint our house again. Sanjeev nodded behind him. Actually, Raj (I call their nick names) is the head of trouble institute and Sam (Sanjeev) remains behind him doing what ever he says. What ever Raj says is right according to Sam. Dad said, we will think about it next month, on payment day. It would be our judgment day. yelled Raj. Sam started laughing behind him. I couldnt find anything funny there to laugh. I rolled my eyes out of them.

They ran out of car and started jumping around. Dad ran behind them trying to catch them. Oh! My stupid family. Wish I could have a sister like me. Calm, quite and intelligent, not stupid. I entered the house. It looked more big and beautiful from inside rather then outside. I landed on sofa. I was feeling happy here but I was too missing my old friends and my old school. Now again I had to start from beginning. I had to make new friends and head up to my new school. Its not that easy for me. Actually when this time I heard about our shifting, it felt odd. First thing is that we are shifted in here, and I had never been here before. And the place where we are going to live is the greenest part of this state. You wont find sand but forest and red woods.

And it is not a city but an old village where my dad is shifted maybe due to some kargil or protection for the villagers. It is not a complete village and is developed with nice houses, parks, restaurants, cinema halls and more. But it is not like a city too. And the weirdest thing about it is its name, Vampire town which is pronounced oddly in Hindi which I cant. So I will use the word, Vampire town. Actually this place is named Vampire town because it is believed that two hundred years ago vampire used to rule this place. When we entered here, we saw a statue of a vampire king named lord something.(I cant pronounce it well). Maybe the superior king of all Vampires. I had heard from my friends and relative and people worship vampires here. I wont believe in vampires. Not at all. We were checking our house. Raj and Sam were jumping on the sofa.

Raj said, I can jump this high. Sam jumped a bit high then Raj and said, I can jump this high. They always used to compare themselves with each other and usually with me. I hate this thing the most. They are the worlds most messed up kids. Then they stopped jumping and started wrestling. I dont know what they do get doing all this stuffs. Mom calmed them down by holding up their ears. I went outside for a walk. I like hanging out rather then sitting down at home and getting bored. I saw a board on which, it was written in big Hindi language, Believe in vampires, VAMPIRE TOWN. I looked at it and laughed. It seemed funny for an urban girl like me. I knew that this notice wont affect me. I never believed in vampires.

But something happened with me which made me to.

That evening I was sitting in my backyard when I saw a girl from neighbor around my age planting flowers in her garden. I went near her and tried to get a conversation. Nice flowers. I said. She said without looking at me, Yes, they are. She planted a sunflower and removed the dirty gloves out of her hand. She came near to me and said, Hi, I am Kiran. So, you and your family have shifted up here.

I said, Yes, this morning we arrived here. I am Ekta. We shake hands and she really seemed a nice girl to me. She was wearing a short and a cute sweater with a rabbit mark on it. It felt old, in Rajasthan someone wearing a sweater but really in evening this place seems to be quite cold and pleasant. Her hairs were loose and were all over her neck almost covering her. She smiled at me and took me a beautiful park a few blocks away from our houses talking about our lives. We were sitting on a bench. So, do you really believe in vampires? That was the first question I made. She said looking at the grass, Well, this is my birthplace and here it is a tradition to believe in vampires. But really, I am the only one in our house who doesnt believe in vampires. I said, OH! Really. Nor do I believe. I mean, it would be like believing in Peter Pan and Spiderman. We both laughed, and now we are good friends. I was happy that at least now I wont feel lonely.

And Kiran was a nice girl. I continued the conversation, So, do you have any brother sister? She said, No, I live alone with my Parent. I said, Lucky, at least none of your brothers pull you down and freaks you out. So you have a brother? she asked impatiently. I said, Twins, they are Twins and trouble makers. She said, I would love to meet them. I feel alone all out here. It would be total fun. I said slowly, Not for so long. She started laughing again. I saw a weird key locket in her neck almost covered by her hairs. I asked, What is that? She said covering it again, That? It was gifted to me by my Dadu (Grand dad). He was a treasure hunter. He died five years ago. Oh! Sorry for that. I said pitiful. She smiled.

I asked, So where do your dad Works? She said, Well he is an old ancient museum. Cool. I said. She asked the same. I said, My dad is in army, thats why we have to shift every year. She asked, So which school are you joining? Madhya Raj School. I said fastly. She said jumping, Thats awesome! I too study in that school. We will walk together tomorrow to school. Quite lucky for me. I said her goodbye and raced toward my home. I entered and ran toward the kitchen. I said half breathing, Mom, I met a very nice girl next door, Kiran. Now we are very good friends and will study in same class. She said without noticing, Thats good. Morning I finished my breakfast fastly and ran toward Kirans house.

Then we both went school together.

We were walking on street together. School is around Twenty minutes away. She was introducing all places to me. Then we reached our school. It was huge but was just like that I had never imagined. It was an old historical Killa just like that of Harry Potter Series. My eyes remained wide opened and I was just staring at it. Kiran looked at me and guessed the situation.

She explained, Well, Ekta. This was used to be an old castle of a king but now is been used as a school. Our government replaced it to save money. Well yes. In India its not astonishing to see the greeds work around. I dont know how much have they eaten out of the saved money. Simple I would say, developing India would remain developing India. Would never develop with these ministers. I entered the school with laughing sole inside. It was really big from inside. We were standing in the hall. Large ancient paintings were hanging all around the walls. Some of the place and some of the kings. Maybe they were kept to maintain the tradition or our government forgotten to remove it. I came near to my locker. I opened it. It looked like it wasnt used for years. A puff of dust and smoke came out of it and filled me all out.

First I coughed, then took a step back and breathe a bunch of fresh air inside. It was quite dusty and filled with spiders and insects. I took out all webs and wiped out the dust. It took me fifteen minutes to clean it. I was thinking that it was better I took out for school from home earlier. Even mom was scolding me, but now I felt my decision was right. Although Kiran helped me too. I settled all my stuff into my locker, and rushed with Kiran to examine my new school. She explained me about classes, teachers, classmates and her friends. The bell ringed. We both entered the class. The whole room was bluish in color and was nice. All the walls were filled with posters and thoughts. I didnt glanced at any of my new classmate but I knew they were. There entered our class teacher, Mrs. Padbhanabham.

I dont know why this place has such difficult words. I am feared of literature classes of here. Mrs. Padbhanabham, a tall lady with straight face. Long hairs, chubby face and always strictness on her face. Kiran told me so. Really, her dressing sense is weird. She puts purple hat, a long green coat maybe 200 years old, just like vampires and yellow pants or whatever gifted by her great grand parents. I didnt get it what it was. She stood in front of me and said me to introduce myself to everybody. I stood up, introducing my self while I heard a girl with long brown hairs saying from the back Wolf in vampire town. Everyone in class started laughing, except me, Kiran and our teacher. She yelled in her deep voice. Silence everyone. And you ,
