I SCREAMED!

When I opened my eyes, my face was covered in sweat and heat was rising out of my face. It took me only one second to understand, It was a nightmare. That nightmare which was a part of me since childhood. But......this time....it was more than I usually saw. It was increasing randomly day by day.

"Ohh! Dear, are you awake?" Mom's voice reached my eardrums and I looked at her. I tried to shift in a sitting position but unable to do so. Because of moving, there was a hot water bag on my forehead that fell off.

She took that and then said, "My goodness! It became a hot water bag."

She sat beside me and massaged my head, "How are you feeling now?"

"What happened to me?" My voice was low and exhausted.

"You fell in the swimming pool last night and went unconscious. Walter took you here and called us. Your body was so much heated. You had a fever." She touched my forehead. "You still have."

She told me what she knew, but I knew more than that. That vampire than my masked savior, for sure, Walter, would ask so many questions. But the worst part was my effeminate. I was a coward, how was I supposed to fight with that vampire?

"What are you thinking?" Mom asked softly. I shook my head.

"I'll bring something to eat and then you will have medicine. Also, you are not going to leave this bed today. Got this?" Mom said and stood up to leave while I just nodded.

She left the room and I felt guilty. I didn't know why? I was feeling bad, worse, or maybe awful. I was a coward. I got afraid to saw that vampire in front of me.

I'm a real coward.

"No, you aren't." Walter was standing in the doorframe, he said and walked towards the bed.

"Place that on your silly head." He put an ice bag again on my forehead.

"But....." He cut me off. "It's your Mom's order, you are going to rest today. It meant no silly thoughts or else I will finish them on my own." He warned and I smiled at his words and closed my eyes.

After 10 minutes, Mom came with soup and some medicines. She authoritatively made me finish both things and left with an order to sleep and rest. I took literally the subway to sleep. When I woke up it had been afternoon.

Walter was standing on the window and looking at God knows what. I didn't say anything not even thought about anything because I knew he will read my mind without my permission but I was tired of that lying position. It seemed like I hadn't used my legs for centuries.

I shifted into a sitting position. I felt much better now. My face felt cool and no heat was coming out of it.

"Hey, Walter! What are you thinking or are you again peeking inside someone's brain?" I asked mischievously.

He smiled then turned towards me and asked, "Who's that lady?" I felt frozen.

"W...which lady?" I shuttered. I knew, who he was talking about.

"Princess!!!" He looked at me with a look said It-would-be-better-you-should-tell-me-now and I gulped.

"Walter.....actually. Let it be." I winced.

"No! She knows everything about Annabella. How?" Walter's voice was bothered.

"I don't know," I said confused. She always knew everything about everyone. She even knew about the real murderer.
