[ A Vampire at the library ]

–2nd pov–

"Ugh..." you quietly groaned to yourself, lying your head on the desk in front of you.

You've arrived at the library already few hours ago, two hours to be exact, and even though you may have searched through many books about 'gods' or 'mythology creatures' from any possible country, you couldn't find anything.

"This sucks.." you mumbled to yourself. You then raised your head, and grabbed your phone, searching for the photo you took in the mansion few days ago.

You scrolled past few photos, before landing on the painting of the certain 'god'.

Or that is what you thought on what they could be. You clicked on it and a small smile appeared on your features. 'Bingo.'

You zoomed in the photo, hoping to notice something you didn't before at the mansion.
You squinted your eyes, hoping to get a better view on the photo. And even though you did, you realised there wasn't anything special about it.

You placed the phone back on the table, then sighed out of frustration, placing your head on the table. You stayed like that for few seconds, before feeling someone's hand on your shoulder.

Startled, you quickly jumped out of your seat and turned to face the person who scared you. It was a man, and he quickly pulled his hand away when he noticed how hard he startled you. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to scare you." The man apologised.

Your surprised face relaxed, turning into a soft expression. You took in on his appearence.
A man around his twenties, he had black hair with stunning emerald eyes. Under his eyes he seemed to have a smudged eyeliner, that could have been confused for dark eyebags. He seemed to be wearing a simple white shirt with black jacket over it, plus he wore loose gray trousers.

'Wow, another cute guy.'

"It's fine! It's my fault I wasn't paying attention anyway." You apologised, showing him a closed-eyed smile while you waved him off. When you opened them, you noticed a small name card pinned on his shirt with text 'Streber'

"Do you work here?" You asked him making him nod. "Yeah! And I noticed you've been struggling with something so I came up to you." He said while giving you a grin.

'Was it that obvious? I mean, it sure was but..' Your ears then turned red from embarrassment. "Yeah.. I can't find any book related to a subject I'm researching." You said with a frown

He looked at you, then he took a look behind you at the books you've been researching on. "Mythology?" He asked, making you nod

"Yeah, I've been in this mansion on top of the hill and I noticed few portraits of someone and got interested in it."

Not like you have nightmares about it, or that you need to find out about the weird person that looks like you

Totally not the reason

He then tilted his head, confused. "The mansion? I thought no one lived there?"

"I thought so too, but I guess some weird guy owns it." You shrugged. 'Streber' was about to open his mouth, but stopped himself from asking anything further.

"Do you have a picture of the portraits? I could help you." He suggested making you nod. You grabbed the phone from the table, and showed him the picture.

His eyes looked at the picture, before landing at the certain text under the portrait. "Salvator Noster?" He turned to you, confused "It means "Our Saviour" in latin I'm pretty sure." You told him, to which he zoned out, thinking about something.

"Wait! I think I know where we could find something! Follow me." He said with a smile, grabbing your wrist softly and dragging you with him before you could say anything.

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

'How could I not think of that..' you thought as he dragged you to a shelf filled with Latin books.

He seemed to look around the shelf, searching for something, his finger trailing along the various of books. His finger stopped, as he took out a certain book.

"Got it!" He smiled, before showing you the book. "Salvator Noster.. it's the same name?" You said, while it came more like a question

"Yeah! When I read the text below the portrait I knew I saw a name like that." He said, handing you the book while saying 'here"

There was a lot of dust on it, it seemed that no one used it in a long time. You turned away from Streber before blowing off the dust of the book. When you noticed it didn't work, you just dusted it off with your hand.

The book was in a horrible state, few of the corners were missing, it seemed that it was even burned a little bit on one of the corners, plus it was crumpled.

You took a peek inside the book, reading a few of it, realising all of it was written in latin 'I'm not sure what I expected, since it was literaly in the latin shelf..' you thought sarcastically

"Thank you Streber, I really appreciate it." You gave him a smile which he returned. "Of course! It's my job after all!" You then walked back to the table where your books were, and placed the book on the table. You then noticed that Streber was still following you, making you confused.

"What's your name?" He then suddenly asked, making you look up from the book.
"[Y/n], and you're Streber, right?" You asked him, making him nod.

"Yeah! I'm Streber! [Y/n], huh? You have a really pretty name! It suits you." Streber smiled, making you chuckle

"Thank you, you have a pretty cool name too!" You returned his smile.

"Say.. do you know about the haunted house near the forest, at the end of the city?" He asked you, to which you nodded.

"Yeah, I do. Why?" You questioned "Well, why don't you visit today, if you're free of course?" He asked you, leaving you deep in thought.

"I mean, sure! Why not? I'm free today." You smiled at him. "Cool! We open up at 7 pm, why don't you come at 8 pm?" He grinned making you nod. "Sure! Two jobs in one day though?" You asked him, making him give you a proud grin. "Yes! I am, as you can see, a hardworking man!" He laughed proudly, making you giggle at him.

After leaving the library and getting home, you placed the book on the kitchen table, leaving it there. It seemed to be thick, and you didn't have many energy to read it today. You checked the time, seeing it was 5:29 pm. You still had enough time.

You went and plopped yourself on the couch, turning the TV on, deciding to chill before going out to the Haunted house.

[ End of Chapter 10 ]

[ New A/n ] Finally, the last chapter I had in my drafts unreleased and unedited :3 ( though I only edited really really small thingies about it ) I kind of forgot how I wanted this fanfiction to go so it might take me time to write a new chapter.

Also god, two more days and it would have been exactly two years since I last worked on this fanfic... that's.. really sad. Considering this was my favourite fanfiction out of all 💔

Anyways hopefully you enjoyed it anyway, and baii<3

[ Old A/n ] : GUESS WHO'S BACK OMG. I'm so sorry this chapter sucked after being so long away 😭 I have finally a plan to post two chapters on any of my fics every week, so I l'll try to update as much as I can!! Anyways YOU FINALLY MET THE NEW PERSON I WAS TALKING ABOUT LJKE FOR 3 CHAPTERS LMAO
And yes! It was our fav armless person *drum roll* Streber! ( that was mean sorry )

Also, I'm gonna be honest. I lost motivation to update this fanfix since my spooky month hyperfixation dissapeared ( now replaced with Operation True love and Obey me )
And I forgot what plot I wanted to write 😭👍
I had it perfectly planned and idk why but I forgot it, Ill try to think of something similiar so don't worry! Plus, even though I don't have motivation, I'm 100% going to finish this book till the new episode of spooky month comes out! So I can continue the story ( Edit – wow I definitely did finish this story, didn't I? )

But anyway hope you enjoyed the chapter anyway and any vote and comment will be appreciated <3

Bye bye!
