• The Real Albern •
Classes are going on as usual. Discussion of the material and ending duties. Uninspiring. It's just that the existence of an angel figure in front makes the occupants of the class comfortable in their respective positions. But wait, that only applies to students. As for the students, they actually feel jealous and rivaled by the existence of the handsome lecturer. So their work from then on was just quietly bent, reluctant to pay attention to what was taught by the lecturer.
Once the class was over, a flash of room was instantly empty. Errata, there are still a few people left. One of them is Allena. He was still busy rubbing his eyes, because from earlier he closed his eyes more, sleepy heavy. It was still fortunate that no one was aware, so he did not have to bother carrying out the punishment. While the rest, the girls are busy asking for the number of lecturers with the reason to facilitate the news relationship if there is a problem about the campus related to the thesis.
After her gaze returned to normal, Allena got up from her seat and rushed home with slightly staggering steps. As well as the girls, it seemed like they were done with their business. But not until his feet touch the ceramic floor outside the classroom, a call someone made him forced to stop his steps.
Allena turned her body irritated, because the time back home. At first he wanted to nag the owner of the voice, but once he knew who it was, his intention was locked up.
Allena tried to smile as sweetly as possible. "Yes, Mr. Shamus?"
Bryan ran over to Allena and smiled back. "Call me Bryan. Formal language only makes for an awkward atmosphere. Speak worthy of your own friend."
Allena was silent, before nodding awkwardly. Recalling himself with Bryan in one quiet room, nervousness began to overwhelm him.
"You sleepy?"
"Eh, no," elak Allena then blinked her eyes twice.
"Not lie. I saw you yawn."
"Oh. Hehe..." That was the only response Allena could give. He does not know what to say anymore, because in reality he is not good at covering things.
Bryan chuckles. "If you come home in this state, fearing something bad might happen to you. Let me take you home."
"Eh, no need to bother. I can do it myself. Anyway the distance from here to my house is close." Allena tried to resist the subtle.
Bryan shakes. "This is our introductory form."
"But that was a sud-"
"It's too formal. I want to get to know you more casually" Bryan interrupted and extended his hand, clasping Allena's wrist.
Just now Allena opened her mouth, about to make a sound. Bryan has gone before him. "Don't be sorry for refusing, if you're doing a bad job!"
That was when Allena was stunned. Didn't expect that the new lecturer would dare threaten him. Instantly, his self-interest in the man vanished. He threw Bryan's grip off his hand. This is what he hated most about men. Selfish.
For this time, Allena had to obey Bryan's will. But next time, he plans to run away as soon as the class is over.
Just watch...
Arriving Bryan's car parked in front of Allena's house, precisely the Johnson family home, Allena immediately came out without saying a single word.
Allena ran into the house regardless of Bryan's call behind. He was already annoyed at the man's arbitrary attitude. So rushed he wanted to go to the room, his feet tripped the stairs.
"aww... Shit!" Allena complained with a curse, holding his leg that throbbed pain.

This afternoon Allena plans to go to the bookstore because all her novels have been read. Unlike the past that only collected fantasy and action genre novels, this time he wanted to try reading classic romance novels. Nothing more than curious.
Just touched the knob, the door was opened from the outside by Melly.
"Mother..just be surprised."
Melly chuckled, then traced her daughter's appearance from bottom to top. "Sorry.. Where are you going? So neat."
"Bookstore," Allena's brief was accompanied by her sweet smile.
"Novel again?"
Allena nodded steadily.
"alright. Mother intermin," broke up Melly.
"no need. You have a lot of work to do, right? I better just focus on that. After all I'm old, the time out of the house still has to be accompanied by parents."
"No, Allena. I know how you are if you're engrossed in a bookstore. Forget time. The sky will soon be dark. The danger is that girls go and go home alone" Melly said, warning. "Mom will still take you."
Allena held her mother's arm that was about to pass. "Mother, please. If anyone ever scolds me, I will defend myself. I know for myself, my watching of action films continues and I have also learned all the movements of the struggle. There are benefits too, right, to the spectacle? Unknowingly we've learned martial arts." He still has a hard face. Melly seemed to be thinking, weighing. "Trust me.." continued Allena, trying to convince.

Allena smiled with satisfaction. Not in vain also he begged and seduced his mother. Melly is known to the public as a stubborn woman. But in the Johnson family, there was nothing harder than his daughter.
Allena entered a quiet area. Deliberately choose the shortcut because it is faster to the destination than through the city streets. Bookstores are many, but this bookstore has become a subscription because in addition to a fairly cheap price, it is also always given a discount every day. Status as the daughter of a rich designer does not mean she can be wasteful.
Learn to live independently.
That's the reason why he has never used a vehicle in traveling and always wears simple items at affordable prices.
Allena took a breath. The feathers began to bristle, plus the cold air because of the rain subsides pierced to the bones. The streets are completely deserted.
Allena started to slow down. Whether it's just his feelings, I sneak he heard the voice of someone asking for help.
While stepping slowly, the more ears he tapped sharply.
"Please!"
".... Anyone help me!"
Right, guys?
Allena started her wide stride, looking for the source of the sound. The longer the sound the more clearly heard, but a few moments later it vanished.
Where did that voice go? his inner murmur while scratching his head, confused.
As soon as Allena turned her body around at that moment her eyes almost jumped from shock at the scene she was seeing.
He swallowed his hard spit. The black-robed figure with his back was biting the neck of a man. Errata, two men, because one more man he saw was already lying weak on the side of the road.
Realized, Allena quickly hid behind the wall of an abandoned building that did not know what her name was.
May the creature not be aware of my existence. Allena pleaded inwardly with her eyes closed firmly.
But, baby, hope is hope. Because by the time he peeked back to the place earlier, the figure had disappeared and knew it was in front of him.
Spontaneous Allena screeched and pulled the figure's robe. In the next moment, his body froze. When compared to the memory of his present vision, one hundred percent was the same. That figure who was the first to succeed made him frustrated all night.
"You ... Al-bern?"
"Smart girl! I thought after that night you'd forget me" he said with a creepy grin.
Allena's body began to tremble as soon as she saw a pair of canine teeth looming within the man's mouth. Also dripping a thick red liquid whose rancid smell was immediately met with hatred Allena's nose.
"So, k-k-you ..." Allena's breath was choked.
"Yup. Vampires, honey..." Albern continued in a relaxed tone, but was able to shake the body of the girl in front of him even more violently.
Allena wanted to run away, but somehow her legs felt heavy, like something was shackling. A cold sweat began to pour from his temple. The head began to feel dizzy and his view was also sown. Until in the end, everything turned pitch-black.
