SEVEN FEETS UNDER

JACK ASH

"Go away. " I shouted at her again before she went away from my sight.

I concentrated on her retreating footsteps for few meters before she stopped.

Why are after me? Why?

I sat on the chair and things started to jumble on my head. That strange strength and whirlpool of optimism that slowly seeped through me and bombed inside happened again few minutes ago.

I almost wanted to jump upon her and kill her but something in my head was resisting it. Of course, she was a Vampire and I couldn't fight her thats why my head reminded me to not act so stupid. I was glad.

But what was that when Alisa said that I had ni idea what was going on with me? Did she know? If yes, then why did she asked me that many questions?

Even though I ached fir someones help and she offered herself, it sounded a stupid idea to let her. Afterall she did this to me.

My mother asked me to find Hamid and Heakel. Well I got Hamid who threw me out of his grocery store after scrutinizimg me in horror and then ran away from me.

I stepped inside the shop of which my mother gave me the address. There was no body else than a boy who was on his phone. He looked of my age.

"Hamid." I managed with my quivering voice.

The boy almost toppled down hearing me. He tilted hus head to look my face better. I had on a large hood to hide my blue and black features.

"There is no body here.. With that name. " He stammered.

"Get out. Get out! " He yelled at me.

I looked at him alarmed showing my full feature of him. He gasped and I didn't judge him. I couldn't see myself in the mirror.

"My mother-" i began but he cutt me off.

"What the f**k. Damn your face. Gey put of the store or I will call the police." He yelled and pushed me out if the store.

"Listen to me. My mother Samantha Ash told me to find you and Heakel. "

Before I could finish, I saw his back running away from me.

After getting out of the hospital, the first thing I did was to run away and sit in the pavement outside the street in darkness with a small light coning from a window and checked on my mother's purse. There were few old books with some strange scribble and letters. I threw them inside and concentrated on the letter with a address. I out the balm on my wound that my mother asked me to put before I headed to Hamid.

I reached to Hamid and he ran away from me. I went home and my mother wasn't there. Neighbors had no idea about her. I came back to the place where it all started. Across the street to Alisa. It was overwhelming and I had no idea where to go. I sat on the dark lane thinking of my mother and her strange behavior.

My body was still burning and in lot of pain but I guess I got accustomed to it. Above all helplessness was more painful than this physical pain.

I was grieving when two hands grabbed me. His eyes just like Alisa's were dark.

"Dude, your face is something. " He said and laughed at me. My breathing rose up and I tried to fight him in vain.

"What ? Are you scared?" He gripped me and scrutinized me. His eyes stopped on my neck.

"Oh! I knew it. " He mumbled and put his hand on his pocket, "What's your name buddy?"

I smelled danger abd remained silent. His grip was hard and he was what Alisa was. So I refrained to fight him.

He took out his phone and said on it, "I have something for you. " And I knew what I was getting next.

When I saw Alisa walk to me I made myself determined to fight to death.

"Why is it getting this dark for me around?" The guy mumbled. I could still see his clear face but he was looking around in horror. The moon light was enough for me. I looked up and there was nothing but darkness above the sky.

I looked down and found Alisa walking towards us and my fear rushed in.

"What the f**k was that darkness?" the guy mumbled and I ignored him. Alisa stood before me and looked at me. Then they threw me in the car and locked me in the celler and asked serveral questions that didn't made any sense. She asked what am I? That was ridiculous. I would have laughed if I wasnt in pain and scared.

I was so sacred that she would kill me and my mother if she find her and that thought made me do something unbelievable after she left.

"Jack baby! Alisa is gonna kill your mother if you don't invite ger in. " Harry said and I shivered.

It was funny that she wanted to me say that until I found now that she couldn't come in if I didn't invite her.

Harry made me angry and I didn't know from i git that madness to tear way the rope and throw Harry on the stacked cans and run away from him.

It was unbelievable.

I didn't realize it until I come here at home and breathed out the terror. I also realised that the pain was fading away little by little. I wasn't dying.

My eyes found the vase and I remembered my mother.

My legs found the way to the store and went though the hardwares. Picking up the equipment , I rushed to the vase. Putting the small table away I liked at the solid concrete floor. It was so strange to think that my mother asked me dig seven feet deep. And why did she keep it there.

I shook away all the questions and picking up the hammer got to work. The determination to find my mother and about me was more important than to ponder the strangeness I was thinking in it.

Unbelievably, I dug in no time and a the small metal box was visible to me. I picked it up and then looked up. Taking the box, I jumped up just when the door bell rang.

Smile abd hope crossed my mind as I rushed towards the door but stopped mid way. What if it's not my mother?

I carefully made my way and asked before opening the door, "Mum?"

" Son. " Came the sexiest voice i ever heard from the mouth i would ever want to hear any. It was Alisa. I rushed back in horror and something made me look back to find her on the window.

There was a smile on her face that swept me away. It was this smile that I got into this problem. I scolded my brain and thought of ger someone that ruined my day or probably whole life. Everything strange happened only after I met her.

We talked and here I was thinking of what to do next. I knew she didn't go away. Just like she said she could see me, I could too.

I closed my eyes and her clear picture of standing behind the tree with the closed eyes came in my head. She licked her lips and blew a breath before opening her eyes. Even in my head that golden eyes called me.

I opened my eyes upon the realization. Is that woman on my dreams Alisa? The golden eyes in dream resembles to that of Alisa's.

I looked down at my hand and the body. I was growing like anything. I stood up and went to the table where I kept that metal box with a hope to find some answers there.
