"Are you hungry, beautiful lady?" The old granny did not answer Quinsha's question, she instead changed the subject so that Quinsha began to suspect. 

"When grandma is healthy, I will continue my journey! Besides, I'm not hungry!" Quinsha replied with a strange feeling.

"Miss, stay here because it will be dangerous to come home late at night like this!" The grandmother restrained Quinsha by pulling her arm.

Instantly Quinsha felt there was something strange about the grandmother so she gave her a sharp look because her suspicions were getting stronger.

"I'm not a bad person, and I can't possibly hurt the person who helped me! If you don't want to stay overnight, at least you eat first!" Said the old grandmother.

Quinsha took a deep breath, she was really hungry so she nodded after making sure that the grandmother was sincere.

They both walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. 

Quinsha saw the grandmother who was busy preparing food. The delicious aroma of the food made Quinsha feel even hungrier. 

Seven minutes had passed, the dinner was finally finished. The grandmother placed two plates of fish and meat and rice on the dining table.

"Eat!" The grandmother invited Quinsha to eat.

"Yes" Quinsha said as she took the spoon and fork that was already available on the table.

"Beautiful girl, may I ask a question?"

"Yes..." Quinsha replied while chewing her food.

"May I know where are you going at this midnight?"

"Hmm.... Actually, I was planning to go back to my parents' house. There's something strange I want to talk to my father about. How about you? Why did you get shot?" Quinsha replied while asking the grandmother back.

The grandmother took a deep breath, she then said, "I was attacked by people I didn't know when I was about to go home from the Mall. They detained me somewhere, but I managed to escape. But my car was still in Kalla and they managed to shoot me. Lucky you came on time, otherwise, I would have died on the way."

Quinsha nodded her head because the grandmother's story was quite reasonable and she did not want to get involved further by asking more about what happened to the grandmother. After that, she surveyed the spacious and luxurious house. 

"Does grandma live alone here?" Quinsha asked.

"Yeah, I've lived alone since my husband died in the hands of the person I hate the most. We don't have children so this house is never crowded and we also don't have close relatives in this country," Replied the grandmother with a smile.

"I see. What's your name?"

"My name is Jossie Victoria, I used to teach at one of the famous universities here," The grandmother replied.

"So you are Professor Jossie, a renowned Technologist, apparently. It's an honor to meet you!" Quinsha said while shaking hands respectfully. 

"Hahaha... That was then! Don't be so polite to me. Now, continue your meal!" Jossie said with a smile.

Quinsha immediately nodded and then enjoyed her dinner. 

That night it snowed heavily, the wind blew hard and the cold temperature began to be felt. 

At the same time, a man and a woman sat opposite each other while enjoying their meal in the dining room.

The man stopped chewing his food, he was silent looking at the last piece of meat on the plate. At that moment he suddenly remembered his daughter who had not been home for several months. 

"What are you thinking about?" Asked Valen who had noticed Kenzo's strange attitude. 

Kenzo took a deep breath and then looked at his wife with a sharp look, "Why can you be calm when your daughter doesn't tell you. Has she eaten or not? Did you forget her?"

Kenzo begins to lose his temper because he feels sorry for Quinsha who Valen never thought existed.

Valen lowered his head and went back to enjoying his meal as if he didn't hear Kenzo's question.

"Twenty years have passed and you still have your heart closed on her. Does Quinsha have to die before you can be happy and admit it?" Kenzo said in a rising voice.

Valen was silent than let go of the spoon and fork he was holding, after that she looked at Kenzo with a terrible look. 

"Didn't I ask you to put her in an orphanage? But why did you take care of her and tortured me for twenty years?" 

Kenzo clenched his fists, he realized that he would not be able to win from Valen when arguing about Quinsha. 

"All this time Quinsha has always been obedient and shown her love for you. Never once has she let you down. She has been living well among humans. I'm afraid she will be surprised if she realizes who we are and her own identity. Especially if she suddenly turns into a werewolf," Kenzo said in a weak voice. 

"It seems she will never turn into anything because so far she hasn't shown any signs like I used to. But, I don't care," Valen said curtly. 

Kenzo was silent because he also didn't know how Quinsha would turn out. Will be a werewolf-like her mother, or a Vampire like her father, and the odds are that she will become an ordinary human.

"I'm going back to my study!" After saying that, Kenzo got up from his seat and left Valen alone at the dining table.

Kenzo feels really bad because he really loves Quinsha, a child who has been raised with love even though he is not his biological child. 

Kenzo's office. 

Just as Kenzo was just sitting on the chair, his cell phone rang and it was from an unknown number.

Hesitantly Kenzo shifted the green icon on his cellphone.

"Hello?"

"Father, it's me Quinsha!"

Kenzo smiled at the sound of his daughter's voice that had been on his mind for a long time. 

"Quinsha, what are you calling this late at night? And whose phone are you using? Where's your cell phone?" Kenzo asked in surprise.

"My cell phone was lost when I was grabbed from behind by someone I didn't know," Quinsha replied in a weak voice.

Kenzo immediately stood up with a terrible expression. 

"How did it happen? And where are you now?" 

"When I got home from work, I walked to the house I rented because it wasn't far from the Mall. However, on the way, I was arrested and drugged. When I woke up, I was helped by Mr. Axton. After that, I borrowed Mike's car to go home. However, on the way, I bumped into a grandmother so I brought her home to help her remove the silver bullet from her back because apparently she also experienced the same thing and was shot," Quinsha explained everything in detail.

"Do you recognize the person who drugged you?" 

"No. But they have fangs. When they were about to attack Mr. Axton and me again, suddenly someone out of nowhere shot them dead and turned to ashes. I don't know what creatures they are. Do you believe my story?"

Kenzo clenched his fists after hearing Quinsha's story, he purposely didn't tell Quinsha her real identity so that Quinsha could live a normal life. However, now something unexpected has appeared. 

"Did you hear me?"

Kenzo woke up from his daydream when he heard Quinsha's voice from the other side of the phone.

"Yes, I heard you! Now I will pick you up! Tell me where the address is!" Kenzo answered uncomfortably.

Quinsha immediately told Jossie's home address and then hung up the phone.

"Why does dad's voice sound so weird, doesn't he believe my story?" Quinsha asked herself confusedly.

"I trust you!"

Quinsha turned when she heard Jossie's voice who was already nearby.

"Did you hear everything I said to my father?" Quinsha asked.

"Yes."

"So you really believe me?"

"Of course, I believe because I often meet creatures as you mentioned earlier!" Jossie answered seriously.

"What are they, creatures?" Quinsha was getting curious.

"They are vampires."

"Vampires?" Quinsha was shocked and couldn't believe the existence of Vampires in modern times like this.

"Yes, Vampires. Immortal mythological creatures, rulers of darkness who live by sucking human blood. I've heard that the Vampires disappeared decades ago. However, they reappeared in this country" Jossie answered hesitantly.

"Do they really exist?" Quinsha asked with her hands shaking with fear.

"Haven't you seen it? If you weren't helped, chances are you'd already be on the morning news. A girl bled to death!" Jossie replied.
