"It's My choice what I have to do!"

...

" What's wrong? You're looking like You're in shock."

"I am in shock. What's wrong with her..." I talk to myself in a low voice.

"I'm leaving" I don't wait for Jerzy's reaction as always and leave.

I start driving and Taking one tablet of Drugs. It's night and I can't do something stupid...not especially when she thinks I'm a mental patient.

But where is she right now...

I went to the hospital but they said she Didn't come to work today. I make a call at her home through hospital employee personal details...Her father told her She ran away and so on. By his tone, I don't think He cares about her.

I drove to 3 more places but She wasn't there too. I was passing by a park and suddenly I saw her...

I park My car and walk towards her. Elina was sitting alone, eating Pelmeni, just then when I came near... tears were streaming down her face. I was suddenly uncomfortable...feeling unusual in Chest.

I felt this only once when... forgot it.

I come towards her and Offer her My napkin. "Here"

Her eyes were teary, She stared at me like She didn't know who am I...Then suddenly she realizes and wipes away her tears in a messy way. Her face was red...her eyes puffy and... her lips swollen because of biting and sucking continuously.

I sit beside her on the bench and wait for her to be in proper shape to talk. She shivers from cold and Her hands seem cold too.

"Wait a minute, I'll be back" I leave her on the bench and run outside the park. I buy a hot coffee with extra sugar and cream...I don't know if she likes it or not but as much as I noticed her orders in the canteen she will like it and pick a newspaper and then come back to the park.

I tear up the newspaper to cover Elina's hands and hand her the coffee. "Hold it. You won't be cold and because of newspaper, your hands won't burn" She does as I say.

I sit quietly again and let her become comfortable. After some seconds she speaks.

"How did you come here?"

"I was just passing through from here and saw you. That's all."

"Why did you come here ?" She sips her coffee and time to time wipes her eyes... But at least she isn't crying now.

"To ask why you talked to me in a rude tone on call. For a minute I doubted that It was you or I called someone else."

"When did I?" She flinched and looked at me like I blamed her for robbing a Bank...Silly.

She takes out her phone...She switches her phone on and checks her call history. I don't have any interest in peeping into other's phones, I just check In case she proves me wrong...

"Oh god!" She stands up and bows "I'm sorry Dr. Rin! I didn't see the Call ID! I won't repeat this mistake!"

"Why did you even switch your phone off? What if someone is worried about you?" I ask her in a professional tone hiding that the worried one was me...

"No one is worried about me. No one cares much..." She sips her coffee again and avoids eye contact.

But I can recognize the pain and embarrassment she is trying to hide from me.

She is..."Silly..." I mumble "Stand straight. I'm not going to eat you."

She straightens but keeps her eyes on the ground.

"Don't disappear like this again. And It's an order from your Senior."

She looks at me with confusing eyes. "were you...worried about me?"

"I wasn't! I was just...worried that I'd have to teach everything from the start to another newbie which is boring...Why would I worry about you?"

She doesn't say something and only smiles a bit.

I changed the topic to "Come and live at my place."

Her eyes widen "Dr. Rin...I told you I understand but I can't...Please choose someone else"

"What are you- Wait...here, It wasn't like that. It just happened by chance okay? I don't read such kinds of Books."

"You don't have to hide it. I'm nice at keeping secre-"

"Shut up!" She doesn't say a word after.

"I'm telling you to live at my place because The accident you encountered can repeat. If you stay there you will be safe."

"But I already gave an application for a room to live by myself."

"Cancel it then"

"But-"

I don't give her a chance to speak "I don't have any interest to argue. Pack your bags and I'll pick you up tomorrow evening. Now come with me."

I leave and she follows me after. She goes towards another side "Where are you going? My car is right here"

"My car is also right here. I can't leave it here."

"I'll call someone to take care of this. come and sit"

I open My car's door for her to get inside. "I'm sorry Dr. Rin. I know I troubled you a lot and...I shouldn't have talked this way. But don't worry I'm alright now And I can leave myself."

I got lack of words and was silent. She sits in her car and starts to drive.

I immediately sit in my car too and start. I tail her until she safely arrives at her home, maintaining a suitable distance so she won't know I'm behind her.

After she parks her car, She doesn't get out of her car for minutes.

After she comes out of her car... I walk behind her and hide behind a tree. As she goes inside her house, I remain outside, watching. Soon, lights in a room on the second-floor flicker on, casting her shadow against the white curtains...I could recognize it very well.

I stand there and look at her shadow for more seconds then leave.

Jerzy calls me and asks about where I am and whether Am I alright or not.

But That motherfucker comes at his point soon..."Bring me Chicken nuggets on the way here. No need to buy beers though our fridge is full."

I didn't tell Jerzy yet that Elina will be living with us. I'll have to properly warn him to behave in front of her or He will be missing the moment after he messes up. I can't forget how he was making fun of me when I opened a random book in front of Elina and it was fuckin 'How to avoid pregnancy during Sex'.

Where did this book even come in My story. I never bought or ordered it. I threw that book away after Elina left My study.

I hand over the chicken nuggets to Jerzy and wait at the table for him to bring beer. I can't taste but At least It feels nice when I'm drunk. I know It's weird but yes.

The whole time during drinking...I could only think of Elina...Her teary eyes...Her pink and swollen lips. I resisted myself to touch her face and asked her why is she crying.

He was lucky that he wasn't in front of me. Otherwise, I would have punched his jaw and killed him brutally. I never thought Elina would be suffering a problem like this. It's one of the reasons why I insisted on Elina to live with us.

And I'm still investigating the incident Elina encountered. I just know that he is a vampire...and there is a certain cause... a motive behind why He attacked Elina.

And He was a Type 2 Vampire. Not strong enough compared to me but Strong. Jerzy is still busy with the syringe and fluid-filled in it.

I wonder what it is.

But the unusual thing is...He tried to kill Elina in the elevator but during the second attempt, he tried to use a syringe on her. Why...

But one thing is clear...Elina is somehow connected and she is still in danger. I'll have to ask her some questions about her past...

And after all her family is another issue...

She will be able to live peacefully here... She won't have to worry about her family here.

I wonder if her mother cares about her or not. Why does her father hate her so much? Elina doesn't seem like the type of person who would do something crazy and wrong, and even if she did, I'm sure it must have been unintentional.

After all she is coming here tomorrow...

She will be SAFE.
