FIND HIM!!

" Aww that red shirt is so cute! Can you get me that" asked Rithu. She was enjoying her day at the fair. Little did she know that this might be the last moments of her happiness. She shopped all that she needed and also shopped for Max. With two shopping bags filled with clothes , toys, food , her mouth busy eating the cotton candy and her eyes hidden with heart shaped cooling glasses, she got out of the fair. She walked to the bar to meet Max and show him all the cute stuff that she bought. She entered the bar and saw many drunk men, some of them lying unconscious on the table and some other chatting with friends while they took small sips of wine. Rithu's eyes ran all around the bar and couldn't find Max anywhere in the bar. " Sir, did you see a man named Max who came in here?" she asked. "Max? No , I am sorry." replied a waiter and walked away to a table. She walked out the bar as the atmosphere there made her so uncomfortable.

" Let me try calling him." thinking that she took her phone and dialed Max's number.

"Who's that calling you at this hour of the night?" asking that Katherina walked near to him to take his phone from the pockets. " Rithu and three pinky hearts is calling you. Do you want me to pick up and tell her that you are in the hidden room of a library with ropes all around your body?" asked Katherina holding his phone. Max was not able to speak even though he wanted to.

"Why is he not picking up the phone? He must be drunk and wandering somewhere without having a sense that he left a girl alone in a city that she has never been to." thought Rithika. She was so angry with his irresponsibility. More than her angriness she was worried about him deep inside. She tried him many times and the calls directly went to voicemails.

"What do you want Katherina?" I asked . My voice is so faint and breaking. I still feel dizzy. "Oh nothing much , I just want your cooperation Max". replied Kath

I didn't understand what she wanted but one thing was clear, Katherina will do anything to get what she wants. But more than figuring out her intentions Rithu is more important to me. By this time , I am sure that she must be looking for me. I will get back to you Rithu, don't worry.

"Stay here, I have few things to plan and do. Hazel will give you food and drinks , so don't worry. And about Rithika, she is not a child ,she will take care of herself.So bye Maxie Maxie." Kath said and flew out the window.

" Hazel, why did you play along with her? I saved you, I saved your family. How could you forget that?" I asked her but she didn't say a word. She looked down and sat on the chair silently. What if she is compelled? Vampires can compel humans. I can't expect any help from Hazel, I must do something to get me out of here. The rope was casted with spells, it won't untie until Hazel reverses the spell.

" Where the hell is this boy! " Rithu thought while she walked down the street. I must get into the motel.Anyways he'll come there when he doesn't find me in the fair. She headed straight to the motel where they have already booked a room.

Sitting on the bed in room she was overthinking a lot.

'What if he is in danger?'

'What if something bad happened to him?'

'If he went somewhere, he would surely gave me a call or left a message but no calls, no messages and he is not in the fair .'

'That means something is not right, I promised him that I will help ,so this is the time .'

Rithu locked the room and walked towards the streets. "From where should I start from?" she thought , she had no idea about the city. She saw the only shop with the lights on and it was the library. She decided to start her search from there. She walked into the library and no one was in the counter. She rang the bell and waited for someone to attend.

Hazel walked out of the room hearing the bell , within the next second she came back and sticked a tape onto Max's mouth. "How may I help you?" asked Hazel to Rithik who had no idea that Max was in the building. "Did you happen to see a guy wearing a black shirt with red jacket passing by the street?" asked Rithika.

"No, I haven't." replied Hazel with a strong rude voice.

"Wait, isn't that Rithu's voice. Oh my God, Rithu come on girl, find me." Max was so happy and excited to hear her voice.

"Oh ok, I'll go look for him somewhere else then." said Rithu and went out of the library. The place was dark and silent. "God, where is he?"

She kept on walking by shouting his name. Anyways he wouldn't be so far. After a long search she came to the hotel room with her eyes filled with tears.

"Did he leave me? Did anything bad happen to him? Where the fuck is he?" thousands of questions whirled around her head.

I just hope he is drunk and resting on some bench somewhere in the city and will head back to the motel tomorrow .

She rested her head on the pillow and slowly fell asleep.

"Hazel!! Hazel Lancers!! Get back here" Max tried to shout with a tape on his lips.

"Max, she is gone. There is no point in shouting now. " said Hazel while she walked in the room and locked the door.

She walked forward and removed the tape from his mouth. "Why are you doing this for Katherina? I am the person who helped your family , your children, your husband and this is how you repay me?" I asked in hope to manipulate her.

She didn't respond a word back. "Where is that fucking bitch Katherina?Is she done with her evil plans to kill Rian or did she change her plans into killing me?" I asked with all the anger in my head. "Did Katherina offer you anything?" I asked Hazel again but she remained silent. "She must have compelled you or maybe offered you something big."I murmured.

"Max, don't try any stupid ideas to escape like an escape genius. Just sleep , I am must go now. Night! " Hazel said and left the room by locking it.

I was helpless. The rope was casted with a spell and I could never untie it without the help of another witch. There was nothing to do . He closed his eyes and thought about Rithu. I hope she is safe. Don't search for me , just escape from here Rithu. I should have never brought you here. Its all my fault. I am so sorry dear.

~Meanwhile in the motel~

Come on Rithu, you can't just sleep here on the comfy bed while the only person you trust might be in danger. I must do something but what? What can I do? I stepped out of my room and climbed the stairs upto the terrace. The blue sky was wide spread with few stars here and there. I looked above and then walked towards the edge of the terrace. It was a beautiful view of the whole city. I stood there , watching the whole city from the terrace. Wait, what is that? Is it a bird?No , no its not a bird. Wait , no this can't be happening. Not a vampire, it can't be. Bird wings, but bigger. I rushed downstairs to the reception counter. Sir sir , I called out as he was sleeping on the chair. Hearing my voice he woke up suddenly and asked "What is it Ma'am?"

"Do you happen to have anything like a binocular or a telescope, any such things?" Rithika asked in a hurry.

"Why do you need it?" the man asked while he setted his glasses properly.

"Sir, its a long story so please, just try to understand, its urgent." I replied.

He walked into his room , took a binocular and handed it to me.

I grabbed the binocular and rushed to the terrace. My legs were paining after climbing through hundreds of stairs till I finally reached the terrace.

I stood there on the top of slab and tried to see that weird creature through the binoculars. " Oh my holy God, I was right, its a vampire!!"

Big white wings with thin white skinny body. It wasn't so clear but still I could see the eyes with drooling blood like tears. Body size was just like humans but the wings were so big. My hands started to shiver when I saw the most fierce thing in my life, a vamipre!!
