The Vampires Human Mate 1 (Completed)

CHAPTER : 2

                                                                                     ZEENIA STEVEN

My eyes are very heavy. My hands have been tied on the sides of the bed. I glance around and find a very strange room. I find that the bed is very small. I try moving my legs, to realize that they are also tied to the bed. This room is clearly non-recognizable. This room is empty. It is devoid of my bookcase. Where are my books? Reading makes me happy. Reading takes me into someone's mind. Books take away all my worries. I don't bother about my classmates who think me to be crazy about wanting A+ in all my subjects at school. I then realize that I am missing school. I need to go to school. How else would I maintain my grades, if I don't go? 

I am not at school. Nor I am home. Where else am I? Where are my parents? I know that they would not leave me in such a place. I can't understand. I do hope that this is just a dream, and I shut my eyes hoping that once I am awake, this dream would pass off. But after opening my eyes it is just the same scenario. But then I am hearing some noise coming from somewhere. I hear some footsteps, then I hear someone moving about. But I do not have the energy to see who is moving about. I do remember that in between, I had woken up and was taken for a shower to the restroom, under supervision. I was then brought back to the bed. I then started screaming, to gain some attention. I needed answers. Where am I? Where are my parents? I screamed. 

I heard the voice of a young man from the other side of the room. He said that "You are in a hospital, in the Psychological ward."

I asked him, what I was doing here?

He replied, "You must have tried to kill yourself."

I realized that the voice was coming from the room across mine. I asked him, "But why should I do that?"

"How the hell should I know?" he replied back. "By the way, I am not a doctor or someone working for this hospital. All I know is that this is the place where someone is brought if they had tried to kill themselves."

I realized that I did not remember my name. If I were dead, then this wasn't the place where one goes after death, as per what I had read in the books.

"I cannot move," I said to the boy, talking to me, from the other room.

He replied that maybe you have been given heavy sedation. The routine here is, the nurses would come to see you, supervise when you take a shower, then blood test, followed by being sent to be counseled, and then again pills will be given, after which you will be put to sleep. This has also been my routine and everyone who gets admitted here.

I asked him "When will I be sent home?"

"How the f**k do I know? I am not a doctor" he said with annoyance.

"I then asked him how many days have you been admitted here?"

He took a few minutes to answer, probably recalling, but then gave up and said "I do not remember."

I had heard the sadness in his voice, while he said that. I was worried whether the same fate, was also waiting for me. A person is kept in a hospital for so long, that one forgets days, months, and even years?

I asked the person "How old are you?" Because I wanted to check out that it was a reality and not a dream. 

He replied that he was 19 yrs old, and his name was Ian Collin. He replied that was all he could share, as the hospital doesn't want them to discuss their personal information with anyone. He then said that he will soon be graduating from high school, provided he gets back there. 

I thought I was also probably of the same age. I remembered that I had been schooled at home, and then later sent to the elementary school. I then wondered how many more teenagers were lodged here? 

I then asked Ian "Do you always listen to the hospital authorities?" 

He replied that "No I do not follow their rules. Probably that is why I am still here."

I asked him why was he brought to this place?

He replied that "I had tried to kill myself thrice before, but did not succeed. I think I have probably been kept here so that I do not again attempt to kill myself. But they do not know, that once you want to do something, you might still find other ways."

I asked him "What was wrong with you?"

He paused and then replied that "Nothing is wrong with me." He then paused as if reluctant to share with an absolute stranger. But then he made up his mind and said that "I made the biggest mistake when I told my parents that I see people are coming into my room at night. Following this, my parents took me for counseling."

"Oh, I said"

Ian then said, "My parents were very upset, as I had been seeing vampires. I was seeing those vampires coming into my room at night, and sucking my blood. Also, there was one female vampire, who was damn hot and sexy. Do you understand how that must be, for a teenager like me?"    

I told him, I could not understand that. I felt that he must be thinking, I am also in this place for the same reason. But we were not the same. I did not try to kill myself because of a vampire. I wanted to tell him that vampires don't exist. One thing I was now sure, was that I was not dead. But then why, I am in a psychiatric ward? I wonder.  I then told him, "Your parents must be upset, as there are no vampires in reality."

But he said "Even you think that way, but Vampires are everywhere. They are present even in the hospital, and I want to move out of this place before they kill me."

"But you wanted to die? I asked him.

Ian replied that "I did want to die, but then I was tested for schizophrenia, and the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with me. After which I was sent home. I then realized that I was not mad, and those things coming into my room were real. After that, I tried killing myself, as I do not want to become one of those undead things. I would rather die." After some time Ian asked, "What is your name? How old are you?

I replied that my name is Zeenia Steven. I am eighteen years old. I will be nineteen very soon. I am a senior in high school. The rest I am not able to recollect, I said.

Ian then told me that after we are out of this hospital, he would love to be friends with me. But then he warned me not to tell this to the counselor, nor to my parents. As we were not supposed to make contacts, inside or outside the hospital. 

At that point, I remembered that I had not confided to my parents, what was going on with me. I was not eating much, nor was I sleeping well. I also had taken some self-medication, and overdose of it. Following which I was brought to the hospital. I remembered that I did not try to kill myself. I just wanted to sleep well at night. But then I remembered, that I too had been seeing some people coming into my room at night, and standing next to my bed. I was not able to sleep because of that. I then asked Ian whether he had any bruising on his body, and was he sleeping at night?

Ian replied that he had multiple cuts on his body and that he had not made them. He said that it was because the vampires had made them and were sucking blood from those cuts. 

While I had been talking to Ian, it in fact was helping, because I started remembering things. I told Ian that I too had small bruises on my neck. I also had been seeing a handsome man coming to me at night. I used to think that it was a s****l dream perhaps. He used to tell me to do something. But I don't remember what?

Ian advised me to stop the medication, it would then be clear. He told me that even he saw everything clearly, only after stopping medications. He said that he used to hide the medicines that were given to him. Ian said that he saw the female vampire cutting him and trying to extract blood. He ran to his parents immediately after that, but they thought that he was hallucinating. Ian told that he wanted to go to a place where there were no vampires. 

I then told Ian that once we are out, we could both search for those vampires and kill them. I then realized that we both were victims of vampires. If we wanted to survive, we would have to kill them. I then asked Ian which school was he going to. 

Ian replied that "St. John" was his school.

Oh Lord, I replied that I too am in the same school...

Ian replied that there were a few more students from our school, who too have seen things at night. But no one believes them. They too are here but in some other rooms. Ian then asked me, "Do you really think we can kill those Vampires?"

I nodded, in response.

We then decided amongst us, that we would do as our parents, and the doctors told us. Once we were out of the hospital, we would meet in school, and chalk out further plans. 

But then I realized something. I told Ian that we should continue taking medications, because the vampires did not like our medicated blood, and would thus leave us alone. As they wanted the only pureblood. 

I then heard someone opening the door, thus I just lay down silently.
