"Look at me"
She still refuse,
He remove her hands
"Open your eyes and look at me"

Then fear stroke her
"I don't know yet maybe I will be okay"
The fear of touching holy water is in her mind,
"Maybe I should stay here for tonight" Yen know she is afraid and did not want her to do anything that will harm herself
"No just go to your room" Cherish is afraid it will come again
" Don't worry if it comes out again I will be ready" he sound determine but a little frighten,

He lay down,
"Good night"
She walk to her bed, sit on it. Shelook at Yen, take one of her pillow, and place it under his head, wall back to her bed. She hear rushes of the leaves, then her window opening, she look but did not see anyone
"Maybe I forgot to lock the window" she walk to it, before she could close it, a shadow cover her mouth, she bit it but it till refuse to budge, she murmur Yen name but it is like he didn't bear anything, she use all her strength but it is like the person is stronger than her

" Look like"Mrs Zehng whisper back
"Mum, dad good morning" he sigh,
"What is the matter?"Mr Zehng ask
"She is completely annoying" he pretend to be irritated,
"Okay "his parents look at each other,
"She told me that I should make noodles for knowing that she does not like my cooking" he keep going,
His parents believe because they have seen it happen before when they argue,

" Well what your mum said" he follow suit,
Yen smile and walk to his room.
Cherish dream of someone in her room, holding her, Yen, then those words
"I will hunt, and keep hunting you till you die"
She wake up, panting, her face cover in sweat, her stomach feel somehow, she quickly run to the bathroom and throw up in the sink,
"Blood"
She froze in shock but her stomach till hurts, she continues to vomit

' Maybe I should give her more time to relax' he thought
Cherish finish throwing up, wash her mouth, she walk out stretching her arm, look but did not see Yen
' Maybe he has gone to his room'
She look at her arm
' Nice it has gone',
She walk downstairs happily, smell it
' Argh wet dogs' she try to maintain herself,
' I can do this' she walk to the dinning,
She didn't see Yen,
Mr and Mrs Zehng see her

She look at them
" Aunt, uncle"
She walk to them to give them a peck on the cheek controlling herself, sit for breakfast
"At least she is better" Maya said
"Yeah" Kelvin agrees
"Will she knows what happened last night" Coby whisper
"Well, I don't know, Zack" Kelvin call

They know who she is talking about
"Hey who are you calling silly, annoying"

Everyone become confuse even Maya
"Me" she point,
' No, dumbass, me' Cherish felt irritated but she smile
" Yes you, I want to invite you and your brothers to come to my performance tomorrow at 12 noon"
She look at each of them
"I will be glad for you guys to come"
Cherish want to put an end with the silent thing with them
"Umm sure" they thought she is kidding,
"I'm serious I want you guys to be there" she said again,
"We will be glad to come" they agree,.
"Wow she has change" Mr Zehng whisper
"Of course that is my girl" Mrs Zehng boast,
Cherish took one bit of her food, and spit it out
"Oh my gosh its burns"
She stood up fanning her mouth
"Oh my gosh" Mrs and Mr Zehng ran to her, hand her a glass of water,
"Take this"
Cherish drank it, she can still feel the pain,
Yen taste the food
'Oh no garlic' he stood up
"Mum don't worry I will handle it"
He took Cherish to her room,
Mr Zehng taste the food
" What is wrong with the food" his question made Mrs Zehng confuse,
"Meaning" his wife ask
"It's the same thing as ours" he explain,
"What if Yen prank her with some chilli you know he did that" she tell him,
"Yes what if he did" he agree
"What is he didn't" Zack whisper in their tone
"I didn't smell any chills" Coby said
"Coby, you know what happened right" Kelvin reminds him
"Oh yes, we have her blood to drink" he remember
"It is not easy to find a human blood, especially when you have to run to get one" Maya touch her wrist
" Thanks Maya "
Up in the room Cherish tongue stills hurts
"It burns" she keep on fanning it
"Here take" he gave her a glass of tomatoes juice,
she take it from him, drinking every last drop
"Feeling better" he ask
She give him a thumbs up, drop the glass feeling better
"I think you are becoming a full vamp"
She look at him in shock
"No I can't" she walk to the mirror,
"Phew its still there, see I am not"
Yen sit on her bed, hold his chin
"Really, then why did you spit out your tomatoes stew"
His question made her to think about it
She look at him
"I thought it was too spicy, I mean I can't handle spicy food you know"
"I know and I also know that vampires don't like garlic"
He wide his lips,
" But I am not a full one yet beside it is remaining touching the holy water"she thought of it,
"Yeah right just get ready" he turn,
"But I am still hungry" she made a sad face
"Look I know that you don't want to show you are one and anytime my friends are there, you smell wet dogs, so the only solution is to eat the food unless they will know your secret" he walk out, close the door behind her,
"Fine I will do this"
She know he has not left yet,
He open the door
"Good, now that is a good girl" he smile
" But when we go down tell them it was one of your pranks"she sneer,
"Alright" he agree,
He follow her back to the dinning
