Chapter - 2

"V! Get dressed baby. Just one hour we got!" complained Nash as she added  more wing to her eye liner.

    "Yes, I will be quick. Just hand me some tooth-picks and tissues."

    "What? Are you nuts?" Nash peeved.

    "Yes and some fevicol too" winked Vibha

    With that she took Natasha's makeup kit and put in kitchen indicating Natasha was done and she needed the room now. And locked herself into the bedroom.

    Mayank got perfectly ready with his fake fangs and cloak, drove his SUV to the girls'

    "V, are you ready? Mayak is already..." Nash was about to bang the bedroom door as it was getting late. But just then, Vibha opened the door.

    Both Nash and Mayank stood there

stunned, looking Vibha and her weirdness.

    "Are you serious?" Natasha's mouth stayed open.

    "Let's go, guys." a plain reply from Vibha.

    Vibha was not sure if the makeup was right. The look on Nash's and Mayank's face had already put her mind in dilemma. But, they had already left and there was no going back now.

As they pulled over near the resort, Natasha was doing last touch ups to her already flawless makeup. She put another layer of her favorite pink lipstick.

      The party had hard music playing. It was heard by the parking area. Drinks and snacks were being served. There was a group of male vampires clicking pictures. A few angels blushed here and

there. A hand full of loud guys having fun at the dance floor. And there

entered a dichotomous couple of an angel and vampire. Vibha could hear

shouts and cheer for Nash-Mayank duo. Vibha could feel the rush of blood. Her heart raced faster and she wanted to go back home. But, here she was standing at the entrance of the party venue.

      And there entered a zombie! Plain blue jeans and an old rugged t-shirt. The worn out look of the clothes looked so perfect. Pale skin, dark eyes and fresh blood around mouth. The makeup was not loud, but it made sure that bluish tinge looked factual. The zombie, once a human, had been bit at the wrist. The tear of the muscle soiled in blood was visible. Blood dripped from the flesh.

Messy hair was a proof that the zombie had been this for long time.

    Vibha made a successful entry to the mediocre party. Every eye was discussing the zombie. Even though she felt odd being a zombie, she was happy.

    "Every girl wants to look delicate and

dramatically beautiful for a party. And then we have you, Vibha, bold and graceful as always" greeted the host who had a funny attire.

    "Thanks! I love the party already! Do you wanna check out some zombie dance moves?" asked Vibha cocking her head right.

    Vibha now made a straight face and throwing her legs in varied directions. Tilted neck and jaw lurching in different directions with the beats. Vibha had truly been the centre of attraction. She was in a mode of freedom.

   At about 11, there was an announcement for dinner. Now, it struck Vibha her boyfriend must

have been calling her. She went to the room where she put her hand bag. Pulling her phone out, she found that the network was out. She came to the lawn again to spot Nash in a crowd and asked for her phone, only to find out it was with Mayank. Vibha now took a round of the large lawn to find Mayank.

    He was nowhere to be found. Vibha eat her dinner still looking for him. It was getting late and Vibha had now grown worried about her boyfriend.

     'Not again! I know he will be mad at me!' Vibha thought.
