CHAPTER 4

I went back to the cafeteria, to my surprise she was there with my sister and brother like she never even moved an inch. They were actually enjoying their conversation about something when I approached them.

I raised an eyebrow, I couldn’t hide the disbelief. "Did you just come back?"

They all looked at me.

"Duh, we didn't leave here." Via said, rolling her eyes. “Where did you go? Why did you leave all of a sudden? ”

"I slept," I replied. "I'll go."

I no longer waited for them to answer. I still can’t believe it. It can’t be. I hate it. She didn’t leave here? Am I just dreaming? I know for sure that I am not asleep. I felt her. I even smelled her.

Am I just hallucinating?

I decided not to tell it to my family yet. Not today, I still want to know her whereabouts before I consider her a treat to us. It would be good for her to be my sister's friend so I could watch her, she could watch her. And one more thing, I need to know her. I heard her say those three words. It always appeared in my dream, in my past.

I didn’t grow up as a vampire. I grew up normal or just what I thought. I was a human when I was a kid - real kid. My parents sealed my blood along with my brothers and sisters to save us from the ancient war.

When I was 18, that was the first time I found out about vampires. I remember how scared I was while being chased by a vampire and I thought that was my last day. But the bite actually made me remember who I was when I woke up.

I will never forget that night, because I heard those three words coming from the voice of a girl and it always haunts me every night.

Is she that girl? But that was a long time ago. I can’t even remember the girl and can’t even say the reason why she appears in my dream. Maybe she was a part of me.

I went straight to the admin office where the school's CCTV monitors were located. Stan opened up to me as he focused on the computer, behind him were the large monitors connected to all the CCTV cameras of the entire university. Stan Fear is my cousin. His family and my family always moved together so he also moved here to school with me.

Stan started working as one of the admin and was assigned to guard the school and it was our advantage because we have someone to look at us inside the university. He monitors the CCTV, it was easy for him to manipulate things that flow through current. That’s his gift.

That’s why I asked him to check out the CCTV in the cafeteria. I want to make sure if Cassandra didn't really leave.

"You only visit me when you need something," he said. “Why do you need the footage?” he said as someone pressed the keyboard. I approached the monitor and looked at the footage from the cafeteria after he adjusted the time.

The camera was not focused on the table where we were staying. I watched the entrance, I saw her enter and was waiting if she came out alone but no. My sister is not lying, she did not come out. I only saw her come out when she was with Van and Via. I know she’s with them because I can see two blurry shadows. That’s how we appear on camera, we become blurred shadows.

"Who's the girl?" he asked. "Do you like her?"

"No," he said quickly. "She saw me last night with Van fighting lowkie."

"She's a threat."

I shook my head. “I am not sure. Don’t tell them yet, let me handle it. I still need to know something.”

"What, is it worth lying for?" He eyed me.

“I still can’t figure it out. She disappeared right in front of me. ” I told him all the details.

"You gotta be kidding me!"

“I’m not. So can you please monitor her every day and when you find out that she’s a threat, report her. ”

"Okay, noted."

“One thing, I would like to get her profi ---“

“Done that,” he smirked. “Cassandra Yiel. 18 years old. March 28, 1995, and #000 Heaven Street, oh that’s weird. She was accepted here with just that information. She must be something.”

“There is nothing else and where the hell is heaven street. Does that even exist? ” I said, frustrated.

“That’s all I could find, Vlad. If you want to know, go ask her. ”

I will ask her and make sure know what she is before she could destroy me.
