Chapter 22: THE SECTRUM.
*
*
*
” What sectrum?” Arya asked, staring at the two men.
” Oh, even your sweet assistant doesn’t know about this too? Sweet. Now, enough of the discussion class, hand it over to me and I will walk away like nothing ever happened. ” He stretches out his hand at Adrian.
” You’ll rather have me dead.” He said.
” You have it ten seconds to hand it over or I call them in.” He threatened.
” Them? ” She looked at Adrian. ” Mr Adrian, what is he talking about? ” She asked, terrified.
” Shut the fu*k up, Miss, that ain’t your business. ” He shushed at her.
Back to Adrian, he reminded. ” The sectrum. 10, 9, 8, 7….”
” Mr Adrian!” She called.
” 5, 4, 3… ”
” Please, Mr Adrian give him what he wants. ” She pleaded.
” I’m sorry, I can’t. ” He refused.
” 2, 1… ” The elevator door banged open, and thousands of ferals rushed in.
The lobby was so large that there was no single place to hide.
Arya’s heart kept raving in fear and what baffled her the most was Mr Adrian’s nonchalant behavior towards the creature.
The hungry ferals matched towards her, hissing loudly like a hungry lion as the made it toward her.
” Mr Adrian please do something!” She cried out in a very loud voice.
And when two of the ferals jumped, almost landing on her with their stretched out claws, she jerked up from the couch.
She almost fell to the ground, but wedged herself. She was gasping, and one may think she had only gone for a marathon race.
She glared around her room, it was all a dream. No ferals. No sectrum. It’s just her… Alone.
She exhaled heavily, sighing.
” What just happened?” She asked no one in particular.
She checked on her phone, there were six missed calls and a message from Lily.
She clicked on the message, ” Hey, I called six times did you see it? I wanted to check if you were alright. Call me when you see this message. ”
” Sorry, I fell asleep. I’ll give you a call by ten. Take care of yourself. ” She sent a love emoji to her.
She walked into the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee. After she had prepared it, she held the cup of coffee firmly in her hand, reflecting on her dream.
What sectrum was the stranger referring to? What is so special about this sectrum?
Why would Mr Adrian keep such a big secret from her? Though it was all a dream, but some thing tells her it was more than just a dream.
Some how, she is beginning to to see the real truth behind Lily’s words.
If she was to tell Lily about this dream, it’s either Lily convinces her that it was a dream or… that I have been so stubborn to listen to her.
Moreover, that isn’t only the problem. Arya’s concern was about Adrian’s nonchalant attitude. He would have saved her when she needed him the most, but he played less concerned.
He did nothing. Just standing. Nothing!!
All he did cared about was the so-called sectrum and not her life!
Was this the other side of him she is yet to see?
And besides, what the heck were those creatures? All these she kept asking herself, hoping someone would just explain every bit of her answers.
She couldn’t sleep so, she spent the rest of the two hours awake until the alarm rang… ” It’s 6 o’clock.”

~ AT THE RAINES CORP. ~

Arya sighed terrifyingly as she walked in to the building. Surprisingly, to her amazement, she saw as every workers were busy with their duties.
Both those who walked to and fro the building. It wasn’t as if something did happen.
Or does she needs someone to explain to her that everything were just a dream.
Definitely, it was all a dream after all. She said, calming herself down.
Nicole walked out from the general elevator, she took her gaze off, not wanting Nicole to see her.
She doesn’t know why Nicole’s face has to be the first she always see every morning.
Deep in,side of her was buried an intimate hatred for Nicole for reasons she doesn’t know.
Slowly, she went to her office using the private elevator. When she got to the lobby, she could hear voices of three to four people in Mr Adrian’s office.
She thought it would be safer if she had given not just him, but everyone space.
Maybe, somehow, Lily was right about everything she said.
She just have to be careful with every single person in the building.
Some how there could be a traitor in the building. Some one who seems to know everything that happens in the company.
But the question is… Who is this traitor??

Chapter 23: THE MAN AT THE CINEMA.
*
*
*
While Arya returned back home that night, she went to withdraw money from the ATM section nearby.
As she stood behind two men and a single lady who had come earlier than her, she searched for her ATM card in her bag.
She didn’t remember leaving it at home or at her office, she always had it in her bag all the time.
She searched for it until she finally found it at one side of her bag.
The first man had gone, there were two more standing in front.
She patiently waited until it got to her turn. She ins××ted her card into the card h0le, typing in the amount to be withdrawn.
While the machine processed on her request, she felt someone standing right behind her.
The figure leaned, then whispered in her ear. ” I need your blood, miss Stark.”
She turned only to see a woman who was just coming to withdraw her money. But the voice sounded much like that of a male.
She took her money, dropping it into her bag as she made her way straight home.
” Blood!!” Cried the voice, but when she turned, there was no one behind her.
She hastened her footstep, holding her bag firmly in her hands.
” Blood!” She was frightened at the deep voice, but tried not to look back.
” I need your blood! Blood!! Blood!!”
” Stop!! ” She yelled, shutting her ears with her both hands.
She looked at how every one that passed by watched her like she was some kinda crazy clawn. ” What?!” She threw them a hærd glance.
” Are you alright? ” Some one asked her, politely.
She nodded her head. ” Yes, I am. Thanks for your concern.” She continued her way back home, and the voice was gone for a while.
She took the door keys, ins××ting it into the key h0le. She unlocked the door, pushing it open.
She shut the door, turning on the lights. To her greatest shock, the same figure which had visited her at the cinema, was sitting on her favorite couch.
” Who are you?” She asked, terrified.
” Don’t you remember me?” He asked back, beaming his l-ips with a devilish smile.
Bloods dropped out of his teeth, staining his cloth. His claws were out, like he was ready to feed on his prey.
” It’s you.” She points at him. ” You’re the one who had bitten me at the cinema that night. I remember you, assh-le. ”
” I’m glad you do remember. ” He chuckled.
” What do you want from me? ” She asked, frowning. ” You aren’t here for my blood are you? ”
” What makes you think I’d be here at the first place? To pay a surprise visit of what? Oh come on, sweetheart… ”
” Don’t call me tht?. ” She warned.
” Okay, fine by me. But, my business here is for your blood. I need to feed. ” He hissed, hungrily.
Arya opened the door to run, but he was just to faster than she was. He held her back, throwing her hærd against the ground.
” Where to, sweetheart?” She crawled backward, attempting to run up to her room.
Standing before her in the dark, he said. ” And I forget to say, I am thirsty.” He grabbed her back to the living room.
He slammed her against the wall, tearing the collar of her shirt that her neck could be seen.
” Yes. Yes.” He said excitedly.
” Please. Please, don’t do this to me. Please, I beg of you. ” She pleaded, but it all went to dead ears.
” You just don’t know how long I have been searching, starving for you. Now I have, I can’t let this opportunity slide off. ” He smiled. ” But rest assured, I won’t kill you. Of course, I won’t.
It’s just a taste of your blood, that’s all. Do you think I am so stupid to kill you, who else have such a sweet blood thirst like you? ”
” Please.. ”
” Darling, it’s just a sip. ” He leaned close to her neck, his teeth almost to pierce her skin when something miraculously happened.
In a speed of light, the vampire was gone and how it happened was something Arya can’t tell.
But that wasn’t her concern. The most important thing was that she was safe and sound.
She touched the side of her neck, no teeth mark, no blood. She exhaled in relief.
Arya couldn’t eat. She was still shivering from the trauma of the incident.
For the second time, some one wanted her blood. She shoved her hair back in frustration.
” Why is all this happening to me?” She asked no one in particular. ” Why me? ”
The opened, she shivered but rest assured when she saw it was her boss, Adrian.
” Mr Adrian?” She called, surprised to see him.
” I heard what happened. Are you alright?” He asked.
She nodded. ” Yes.”
” What happened here?” He asked, staring around the room.
” It’s the man at the cinema.” She said.
” The one who bit you?” He asked, to be sure.
” Yes, the very same one. He almost bute again by the neck. But luckily something happened. ” She said.
” Something like what? ”
” I don’t really know. It all happened in a flash.” She answered.
” Did you see who it was?”
She shook her head. ” No. I don’t think it was a human.” She sighed. ” I know why he is after me, but he said he has been searching all over for me since that night. ”
” He wants your blood? ”
She nods. ” He does. ”
