"Wanna hang out",
"…"
Silence only followed, as if his words had misspoken.
"What?" He asked, clearly taken aback by the lack of a response coming from the other side.
"I'm in school!"
Vlad only hit his head in realisation, how could he forget?
"Wait, where are you?" she started asking questions, which were now seeming to be too much.
"Hehe", he made an attempt to laugh, but it proved futile.
"The nurse gave me a leave", he said, "she said I can take the day off".
And Bella only sighed after the sound of his voice, so loud that it was auditable to the other side of the call.
"What about later?" He asked again, perhaps hoping for redemption.
"Charlie asked me to go with him to dinner"
his expression changed, slightly hinting disappointment.
"But if you like, you can join us."
he giggled.
"I don't think he will mind"
"Yeah sure, I would like that"
"Miss Swan" a teacher called to her, "Vlad I have to go!" then she hanged up, leaving Vlad all alone with the sounds of his loudly giggling laughs.
He sighed, perhaps realising that boredom had taken its toll. It was overwhelming, the feeling of doing nothing.
In his past years, whenever he felt like this, he would usually read a book.
But he had read too many.
'Game of Thrones; The Book Thief; Harry Potter' each and every one of them held something he felt he lacked, and that was adventure.
Maybe that's what he needed.
Something supernatural, something… unreal.
And even though being a vampire seemed to give such benefits, it truly did not.
In a world where those who are considered to be unreal exist, they know nothing of the unreal. To them, their power feels normal. For Only ants wish to be human, and humans, their wish is to become something else, something unearthly. So a question, do the supernatural truly exist, if to their scope the supernatural is ordinary?
Vlad always felt like this.
like his life, like his abilities were never actually an extension, but a reflection of what he truly was.
'You never realise how unique a leg is until you actually lose it'.
The deaf man would sacrifice everything to finally hear. And the blind man would sacrifice everything to finally see. Did the supernatural truly exist? Or was it the presence of their abilities that made them different, that made them unique?
He didn't know, but what he did know was that he was bored.
So he stood up and made his way to the door.
Leaving to accomplish something, something he lacked.
Something he felt everyone lacked.

He didn't take his bike, because he feared it would only quicken his journey.
So he walked. His pace was slow and his steps a bit hesitant. Perhaps realising that they had no set destination.
That was until he felt it.
No, more like smelt it.
The faint smell of a flower.
More in, more like perfume changing scents.
So his head moved around as his eyes changed glances.
Trying their hardest to discover the cause.
Trying to find it—the Corps.
Yes, Alucard didn't call them vampire.
More in like frozen skin that had died for centuries.
'Ghouls'.
Thud!
His shoulder was tapped.
So he turned his head and moved his body.
And his eyes immediately whidend.
Vlad was 5 '4, a height too small for both men and women.
Yet, right in front of him. Standing below his vision.
An acceptance, a prodigy. Something unexpected to exist.
She was not a dwarf, and neither was he.
But she stood almost a foot shorter than him.
For the first time in his life, Vlad was looking down at someone.
Her eyes were golden.
And her hair was short.
She was wearing fully black clothes that resembled the material of jeans.
And for a moment, Vlad immediately forgot what she was.
And the only words that passed through his mind.
The only words that moved through his lips.
"The Gods have pitied me".
"Huh", Alice was stunned by his words. No, more like confused.
She was struggling to understand what he meant.
"The Gods", he explained, as if his words were meant to make sense, "I am not the only one they have cursed", her eyes widened at his reply, noticing his wide opened smile.
So she opened her arms as if hinting surrender.
"Wait, I think I'm missing something", her voice was tiny, perhaps proving too sweet.
Her feet were beginning to back away.
"Wait?"
But Vlad only followed, causing slight red blushes to appear at the ends of her cheeks.
"Hehe". He laughed at her actions, finally stopping and holding his gut.
She noted his posture and realised it perhaps too late,
"I'm fucking with you", he spoke as she giggled.
It was wholesome for a bit, as they both indulged in the pleasure of laughter and joy.
"Are you following me or something?" Vlad couldn't help but speak, his laughter still lingering at the ends of his words. "Cos I swear, I saw you in school"
"Guilty," she smiled with her reply.
But his expression swiftly changed from one of a smile to one of uncertainty.
"Okay", he backed away a bit, also raising his hands as if in surrender, "You are joking… right?"
He didn't get a reply, only an expression that smiled back.
"Right?"
"Relax", she slightly giggled, "I got an early release, this is just… a coincidence". She stretched her hand towards him, "Alice".
And Vlad, never being one to leave a beautiful woman hanging, stretched a hand back, "Vlad".
