Reflection of a Vampire #18

 

Rosalie as she entered her house looked around, she had already suspicion about why the car of Martin was parked in front of her house. Queen Riza brought Martin in the house.

 

But there’s no Martin, and inside her room, as she looked at the mirror, she counted in her mind, how many people were there imprisoned already and that what will happen to them.

 

But because it was summertime and the time was past four o’clock, the darkness was disappearing and there’s day light already, Rosalie thought that she could talk to Queen Riza the next night at about ten o’clock as that’s the time that daylight disappeared.

 

Biorhythm of Rosalie for the first time had not work. Normal pace for her to wake-up early in the morning did not happened, she wake-up almost twelve o’clock in the afternoon.

 

She saw that her phone on the night table next her bed the light was flickering on and out, meaning she had notification of messages. Rosalie decided to stand-up as she long for a cup of coffee.

 

Rosalie looked first what messages she had on her phone. She saw many messages from Daniel and to her surprise, one from Queen Riza.

 

“How is your date? Mine, first was nice and wonderful, later I am irritated.”

 

Rosalie could not guess what Queen Riza meant for she doesn’t gave focus on it. She was eager to read the messages of Daniel to her, messages after one another.  

 

“Sweetie have a nice sleep. Tonight was heaven for me.”

 

“Hi, Sweetie, good morning or good afternoon. Had you slept well?”  

 

“I love you!”

 

“One o’clock I come to you, we will have brunch together. Don’t cook. I will bring food.”

 

One o’clock, Daniel is coming. Rosalie hurried, she must have to dress herself.

 

Precisely as he said, Daniel was in the house of Rosalie. He brought Chinese food.

 

“How about your children?” Rosalie asked Daniel as they both prepared the table to dine together.

 

“They were in my parent’s house, didn’t I tell you?” answered Daniel and asked Rosalie if he had not told it her.

 

“I do not remember, What will you drink, I only have wine.” Rosalie asked.

 

“To early to drink wine, I will take lemonade or cola.” Daniel replied.

 

While they were eating Daniel have it about his work as a police.

 

“You will be a detective?” Rosalie asked when she heard from Daniel that Daniel will be one of the group to investigate about the killings that happened in the city.

 

“Yes, there were already three people killed and all decapitated.” Daniel answered.

 

“I see on the news people talking about vampire and witch.” Rosalie wanted to know what Daniel thought about the rumors.

 

“Nonsense stories of four teenagers that claimed they saw a vampire and a witch.” Daniel said that the rumors came from four teenagers.

 

“Maybe they were talking the truth,” Rosalie said.

 

“They were stoned of alcohol and drugs. What they saw was only their imagination. They were hallucinating.” Daniel explained to Rosalie that the teenagers could not told the truth because they were stoned of alcohol and drugs.

 

“Okay,” Rosalie agreed to what Daniel said.

 

“Sweetie, I like this, eating together with you. I hope it will continue and will happen often.” Daniel switched their topic of talking.

 

“No problem, we can always do this, maybe sometimes with your children.” Rosalie answered Daniel.

 

“Yes, I like it,” Daniel said. Rosalie just smiled.

 

That night, Rosalie was in the comfort room when she heard the opening and closing of door, first the door from her bedroom and then the main door. But she ignored it, assuming it was from the neighbor.

 

After using the comfort room, when she opened the door to come out, she was bit shocked as she saw Queen Riza standing at the front door of the comfort room.

 

“Are you standing there long?” Rosalie asked Queen Riza.

 

“Not so long,” Queen Riza answered.

 

“I heard opening and closing of door, it was you?” Rosalie asked.

 

“It was Martin or rather I would say Prince Suryabhan.” Queen Riza replied to the question of Rosalie.

 

“What do you mean?” Rosalie looked at Queen Riza. Queen Riza only shrugged her shoulder.

 

“Prince Suryabhan, he will wander outside to look for a victim, he used the shadow of Martin,” Queen Riza said.

 

Rosalie for a while pause. Queen Riza was a vampire but she was not afraid of her and also of Prince Suryabhan. Queen Riza was also telling her everything, why? Queen Riza also told her that she has powers and she had proven it, she can fly. Queen Riza have it also of many powers that she doesn’t know. Rosalie’s mind was in chaos.

 

“You expressly brought Martin here in the house?” Rosalie asked Queen Riza.

 

“Yes. I am angry to him.” Queen Riza answered the question of Rosalie.

 

“Why, I thought you like Martin.”

 

“Yes, I like him but I do not like that he have many women. He’s lucky that I like him because if I do not like him, his head was already away from his body!” Queen Riza’s words shocked Rosalie. She already had her suspicion about Queen Riza but hearing from her the truth, she did not expected it.

 

“Are you telling me that you are the one who murdered the people, the people that were decapitated?” Rosalie asked.

 

“To say people seems many!” Queen Riza said.

 

“Why you do that? Why decapitated those people? I thought vampires only sucked blood?” Rosalie want to know why the victims were decapitated.

 

“People have wrong perception about vampires. We do not like to kill or to suck blood of a person for fun, we cannot just help ourselves, we must do it in order to survive. It is a disease. Vampire have a virus and when they bite, they transmit that virus. Okay, I am the one who did it, killed those people and decapitated them. I did it so that they could not transmit the virus to others. Decapitation is one way to kill a vampire!”

 

 Queen Riza told Rosalie why her victims were decapitated. Decapitation is one way to kill a vampire for good.

 

“If you know you can transmit the virus, why bite?” Rosalie asked.

 

“To survive of course!” Queen Riza answered. 

 

“Why human, why not animal?” Rosalie asked.

 

“I had not tried animals. Human were easy, you can hypnotize them, and they voluntarily open their neck to a vampire to be bitten.” Queen Riza answered Rosalie.

 

“I had a bite in my neck, did you bitten me?” Rosalie asked.

 

“Not me.” Queen Riza answered Rosalie. “It’s Prince Suryabhan.”

 

“You mean, I already had the virus of a vampire?” Rosalie was shocked.

 

“Don’t worry. You already had a virus in your body, no virus of a vampire could make you sick, you are already immune.” Queen Riza said that Rosalie was already immune to a vampire’s bite because she already have a virus in her body.

 

“I could be a vampire then,” Rosalie said.

 

“Could be or also could not be.” Queen Riza told Rosalie.

 

“I do not like it! I do not like it!” Rosalie panicked to the possibility of her becoming a vampire.

 

“You was already a vampire before.”

 

“I am not a vampire. Vampire are immortals. If I am a vampire, why I was killed before?” Rosalie asked Queen Riza.

 

“Your husband killed you! He did stabbed you in your heart with his long sable. He take out your heart and your body was you know chop-chop! You was also decapitated,” Queen Riza told Rosalie how she died before, it was indeed a horrible death as what the woman in the Paranormal Fair had said, and it resemble to what she had dreamed.

 

“They were four, all in uniforms, but only one killed me with a long sable. If he was my husband, why he did it?” Rosalie could not believed that what she had dreamed was really what happened.

 

“The three uniformed men were there, only to be sure that no one could rescue while he slaughtered you. He must kill you because you are becoming a vampire.” Queen Riza continued to reveal the past life of Rosalie, how he was killed by her own man.

 

“And why I am becoming a vampire?” Rosalie asked.

 

“Prince Suryabhan. He came to the kingdom to marry me, but he liked young women. You did not resist then. Because what happened to you, Prince Suryabhan and me must flee.”

 

“Why are you sure we are sisters?”

 

“Just believe it Eliazora, just believe it.”

 

They heard the door opened and closed. It was Prince Suryabhan in the body of Martin. A young woman also entered the house. They went directly through Rosalie’s bedroom.

 

That night Rosalie was restless. Since that Paranormal Fair and her buying the mirror, everything happened fast. She began to think, her house was becoming the portal of evil. She thought, must she believe that she was really the reborn of Eliazora, the vampire?

 

Monday, working day. Rosalie went to her work, while Daniel started his work by the police as a detective.

 

The composed group of five policemen, have to investigate the killing of three people that were decapitated. The first one, was thought that the criminal was the friend of the victim but now, the police doubted as the two decapitated victims after were killed on the same way.

 

Also they have to investigate the disappearance of Martin, the ex-husband of Rosalie, Martin’s girlfriend Agnes, Tim the brother of Agnes and all pointed to the house of Rosalie.

 

“But that third crime, the man that was decapitated at the back of the coffee shop, many witnesses were saying that Agnes and Martin were there. Everybody who was in that coffee shop that night claimed that they saw Agnes and Martin.” Roger, one of the detective detailed about the presence of Agnes and Martin in the coffee shop.

 

“And Agnes was seen with the man that was murdered. She could be a suspect.” Tony a veteran detective said.

 

“We have to look on many different angles of the crime that happened,” Armand the leader of the group said. “What puzzled me was that Martin, Agnes, and Tim went to the same house when they disappeared.”

 

Daniel and Roger were assigned to investigate the first murder, the decapitating of a homeless man and that his friend who was also homeless was found as the perpetrator of the crime.

 

On the same day, Daniel and Roger went to the man to interview him as during the trial the man insisted about seeing a strange woman but nobody believe him.

 

ROSALIE on the other hand was paired with Isabel that day. Isabel noticed the haggard look of Rosalie.

 

“Are you sick?” Isabel asked Rosalie.

 

“Why you asked?” Rosalie was surprised why Isabel asked her if she was sick.

 

“You has black rings around your eyes.” Isabel said.

 

“Maybe because I did not slept good last night.” Rosalie answered Isabel.

 

“You have problems?”

 

“I have problems but not serious.” Rosalie answered.

 

“Are you sure you are not sick? Your face is red and something in your skin like an irritation.” Isabel noticed the infection like irritation in Rosalie’s skin.

 

“You have a mirror?” Rosalie asked Isabel if she had a mirror. Isabel gave her a compact powder case where there’s a mirror inside.

 

When Rosalie looked herself at the mirror, she was shocked. Her face was red as it was covered with blisters. She looked at her hands and it was the same.

 

“Maybe you had eaten something and you was allergic on it.” Isabel said.

 

“I could not remember I ate something different.” Rosalie answered Isabel.

 

“You must go now to the doctor. If it is allergy, it could be dangerous. Come we go back to the office so that you can go to the doctor.” And the two stewards went back to the office.

 

Rosalie was quickly send to the hospital because if it were indeed allergy, it could be very dangerous. *to be continued* Remy Dorio
