Chapter 1
when dead meets undead.

By. Greninja_799

"Just one round of magazine with 15 bullets were left in my hands. You should have seen me how I managed to kill them using melee weapon. Probably it was my best gameplay every." I said to my mom. She was preparing the dinner for us.

"Great! But son, don't forget to study as well. Your gaming skills won't score marks for you." She replied.

"I will mom. I'll work hard to become a game developer and someday I'll make the toughest game ever, probably based on Batman cause he is my hero."

"That's good Ash, you are already my hero." She kissed my forehead and placed the dinner on the table in front of me.

I finished my meal and rushed to my room waving a goodnight to my mom.

"Don't stay up playing games, you have school tomorrow." She replied.

I locked the room from inside and jumped onto my bed. The lights were already switched off. I pulled the pillow to my chest and let the tears flood my eyes.

"I'm not a hero mom, I'm not a hero." I said to myself tightening the grip on my pillow.

I'm Ash, Ash Ketchum. A high school student. A big loser. Bullied by everyone in the school. Not even a single friend to share thoughts. The only friend I had, Alain, died in a mysterious way. Probably the most pathetic creature on the planet. My life is completely meaningless. These were the only reasons why I turned into a hardcore gamer.

I tried sleeping but couldn't sleep. Like every other night I was lying dead on my bed, blaming myself for being so weak. I never wanted to go to school, never wanted to go to any public place, not even for a second.

Three hours passed and I was lying in the bed I'm the same position, feeling energyless to make a movement. I felt someone's breath on my neck. It was warm and comforting in the cold environment. The warm breath hitting my skin at regular interval as if saying not to worry. But after a few seconds it started feeling sharp, pointy and hurting. I jerked up from my pillow and saw an unusual figure near my bed. It had short hair, shining in the low light coming from the window.

"My gosh! You are awake!?" The voice was feminine.

I Freaked out when the outline spoke like a human. I jumped off the bed and grabbed a baseball bat for self defense. My hands and legs were shaking with fear. My lower jaw was jammed and heartbeat was faster than my Wi-Fi connection.

"Who......who is that?" I said sweating hard even in the air conditioned room.

"You are so scared! Look at you!" She said and giggled.

"I said who are you and why are you in my room? Please leave." I said lifting my bat to scare the ghost or whatever was there in front of me.

"Calm down. Please. You can put that thing down now." She pleaded in a soft voice. The soft and gentle voice was comfortable enough to calm me down, but I didn't put my weapon down. I was ready to kill the ghost or whatever but I realised what seems a child's play in the virtual world, takes a lot of courage in the real world.

"I said you can put that thing down." She said in the same cute soft voice. She moved towards the light switch and turned it on, reveling her face. She was of my height, with short honey blond hair and ocean blue eyes. She was beautiful enough to make anyone fall for her. Her eyes were beautiful, and capable of mesmerising anyone. Her lips were pinkish and the way she was smiling was killing, seriously.

"Who are you?" I asked putting the bat down.

"You were so damn scared! Are you fine now?" She said. I kept quiet looking in her eyes. "Alright, my name is Serena."  She said giving her hand for a handshake. We had that handshake and I introduced myself, "I'm Ash ketchum." Her hand felt soft but cold.

"Nice to meet you. Don't worry I won't kill you because I don't want to."

"What do you mean?"

"I am.........You see.........Don't freak out but....... I'm dead."

The word 'dead' bought an earthquake in my mind. I was speechless. My heartbeat increased again. Before I could run for my life she grabbed my hand and made me sit on my bed.

"I know you are scared but don't worry, I'm only half-dead. Maybe I should say half-alive. I'm a vampire you see, and I was here for your blood." She said as if telling a fairy tale to a child and expecting him to smile. And me? Almost fainted.

"Why should I believe you? You don't even have those canines that vampires and Draculas have."

She was smiling on my stupid question. She close her mouth once and opened again and from somewhere two creepy canines appeared.

"So you are gonna kill me, right? I'm ready. Kill me." I asked, ready to die. I was already tired of my life so I decided if she asks for my life I'll give it to her. After all, dying for someone as beautiful as her wasn't that bad as a deal. But she stayed quiet giving a worried look on her face. She put her left hand on my face, her hand again felt could. She pet me gently with her thumb which gave me chills and said, "Why do you wanna die?"

The way she looked in my eyes and asked me that, I forgot every single thing. I completely forgot that she wasn't alive. My heartbeat went back to normal. I decided to tell her about me. I pushed her gently and Went to pull the curtain off the window. The window, when uncovered, revealed the beautiful full moon.

"I'm ready to die. My life has been like hell. My school mates bully me a lot. They never let me have my lunch, they insult me every time they see me. Even anywhere else I couldn't even stand and fight for myself. I'm a burden on earth. You know I'm the most pathetic person you will ever kill." I said.

she giggled and said, "Why are you so insisting me on killing you? Are your friends same as you"

"I don't have friends. My only friend died in a mysterious way." I said and realised what could be a mysterious way of dying and said, "Are you the one who killed Alain?"

"No idiot. I've never killed anyone. You were about to become my first hunt. But taking about mysterious deaths, it may be possible that some other vampire may have killed him." She said. She was beautiful but the more beautiful thing was her smile.

"Do you think so?"

"It's a possibility. Though I've never met any other vampire."

"Whatever. Kill me, let's end the story." I said turned to let her bite my neck as she was already planning to bite there.

"Are you sure?" Her voice revealed that she didn't want to kill me but I insisted her to kill me.

"Yes I am sure." I said and closed my eyes. I again felt her breath on my neck. The breath that was comforting me was now trying to have me for dinner. The breath stayed there for almost a minute until I felt that sharp teeth of her again. But she didn't bite me and moved back.

"What are you waiting for? Extra toppings? Salt and pepper?" I asked.

"I don't know. I don't actually want to kill you. My life is kinda similar to yours." She said. She went back to sit on the bed. After talking this much, I wasn't afraid to sit beside her.

She started, "i don't remember anything of when I was alive except my name. I don't know how I died. I don't have any friends either. And I'm weak against direct sunlight. I can only walk at night or non-sunny days."

The was an awkward silence between us. Both of us were staring at the bright full moon. The moon was spreading it's shine as if giving a lesson of life to everyone. And the vampire beside me was teaching me the life cycle of a vampire.

"Would you like to be my friend?" I asked. She was beautiful, not only by face but also with heart, maybe that is the reason why I asked her for friendship.

She smiled at me and said, "wouldn't it be unusual to be friends with someone who is half-dead?"

"It's more irritating to spend a life all alone. And you, you are half alive at the same time, there is nothing wrong with that." I said returning the smile.

There was another awkward silence. We looked at each other's face. Her eyes were extremely attractive. Her face started growing in size. I realised we were coming closer to each other.

Was that really gonna happen what it looks like??

*knock* * knock* *knock*

It was my mom. "Ash!? Why is the lights still on? I got up for some water and heard some sound from your room? Is everything fine? Or are you still playing games?"
